How do you define traffic? Number of posters or number of posts?saintspremiers wrote:Disagree.BackFromUSA wrote:can we lock this now and move it to the admin forum? I think most people will have seen the banning notice and had their say? Fair enough? Seems like it has been announced on BF too.
Leave it here. Traffic is much lower without plugs and for some it may mean posting more now he's gone.
If you bury it in the admin forum irregular users may not see it

Re: Please explain
I know that I tend to post more when he's not here. Not sure what that means.
I didn't mind him - most of the time he was rational and pulled up rightly for posting rubbish.
But having him respond to every single post just got tiresome. And his belligerence was breathtaking
This forum will be better off with a multitude of voices - not just one dominant one.

Re: Please explain
Plugger66 has finally been banished. I'm not sure if it's good for the forum, with its decreasing popularity.

A bit like the effect P66 had - increasing # of posts of decreasing interest.

What's a P66?
Is it some kind of tax form?

Re: Please explain
He definitely made the forum his own and so many people when you mention the forum say "I hate that Plugger flog, I don't bother". He isn't all bad but he can be painful.suss wrote:I know that I tend to post more when he's not here. Not sure what that means.

I believe the P66 was the prototype of the P76. The P76 was controversial and, eventually, put to pasture.Con Gorozidis wrote:Devilhead wrote:What's a P66?

Could be history repeating itself.
Anyway, I am more likely to express an opinion on this forum without fear of my sanity and other attributes being questioned or disected.

The 13th and last abusive PM was 4.54pm.Jacks Back wrote:I would just like to know if was a late night thing or something else.Bunk_Moreland wrote:Jacks Back wrote:What time and day did these vile pm's occur BfUSA?
I don't understand why this should make any difference to what was reportedly PM'ed to BFUSA.
Regardless, there is no excuse.
P66 would have been fully aware of the impact of such PM's.
He is an adult, he is responsible for his actions.
Out of nowhere, Pluggs suddenly launches a tsunami of unprovoked and disgusting posts. Whilst hardly fair on you guys... guys, that sort of thing is soooooooooo out of character for Pluggsy. Out of the blue, out of character, and all packed into a frenetic 14-odd minute melt down...
I'm making no claims to psychiatric prominence (at least not as a practitioner ) but seriously guys, surely that suggests that something not good may have happened in his life to provoke that(?) And then, unfortunately, you guys were on the end of it all.
Precedence: We've had plenty of brain fades on here before... and some truly spectacular implosions. And generally they make for good theatre. Two relatively recent examples come to mind. Both took their bat and ball, and strode off. And in a big moment, one even gave very public advice to another completely innocent Saintsationalist, in regards as to where to go and what to do there... and no apology that I've spotted has ever been given for that.
Both have been welcomed back. (Well, at least, I welcome their return. ) Precedence.
So come on Mods. Please. What Pluggsy posted... is totally out of character with the sentiments he expressed throughout his ten (to the infinite number of) posts. How's about considering something bad may well have happened to him, and that Pluggsy may well be a case for special dispensation?
And Simon, if you're concerned re the time it takes to moderate the Pluggster, then fair enough. I have the solution. Let him back, but as penance, make him a moderator.
I reckon that Saintsational would then be able to start selling tickets.

Re: Please explain
Dave you have the heart of a saint. a catholic saint, with robes and incense, beads and whiskey flask.
I pray to mary that you live a healthy long life and aren't cut short by some scoundrel you found in the gutter and gave refuge to.
I feel for plugger, but he burnt the wrong bridge. up to him to build it back. if he can and if he does, well it'd be the greatest return since the prodigal son and lazarus were seen reminiscing over a drink in 'The Donkey's Hole' bar and resthouse. More likely he'll sneak in the backdoor and live in the shadows awhile, untIl human nature takes over and the post count suddenly soars.

Don't know if P66 is a case for special dispensation but he definitely was a special case - btw Cameron Ling also agrees with these sentimentsDave McNamara wrote: Pluggsy may well be a case for special dispensation?

I have to agree, a post would get started then it was always pluggerised, you woul get to about the third page when Pkugger had brought it down forcing people to wade through all the bickering crap. He did seem to delight in railroading most topics. Anyway he is gone, time to all move on.
