Everyone Calm Down
The thread I started was answered, and I have no problem with it being deleted.
It wasn't supposed to be provocative and HD PM'ed my (very promptly, I might add) and explained the situation.
Please dont go the mods, they have a right to ban or suspend a poster, and it has been explained.
cheers.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

OWTS has just posted a very succinct and reasonable explanation for the banning in barks4eva's thread, and has answered your questions.
I would ask why such an explanation couldn't have been posted as a reply to your original thread rather than all this backroom nonsense and thread deletion.

"Calm down"? I'm hardly hysterical.HarveysDeciple wrote:calm down.
Joffaboy's original queries were posted in a public forum, not PM'd to mods. It's reasonable to expect a response in the same forum, even if it is as simple as "PM sent. Thread locked."
Start deleting threads as if they never existed, and don't be surprised when people demand answers.
Honestly, you guys create more problems than you solve sometimes.

Yet still people created more threads.
"It was a request from a few days ago to indicate why teflon was banned...teflon has since been told, and the thread is no longer necessary.
It is not a permanent ban, but it has been outlined to the poster, hence the request is no longer necessary."
Here is exactly my post in that thread
If all I had to do was say "thread locked, pm sent"
then why when I said the above did people keep starting threads?

That was your post in the thread explaining why joffaboy's original thread was deleted without explanation.HarveysDeciple wrote:"It was a request from a few days ago to indicate why teflon was banned...teflon has since been told, and the thread is no longer necessary.

And you wonder why you suddenly get 62 threads on the same topic

there was nothing on the forum explaining why
when I started threads they just got locked
if you don't want people starting threads asking for an explanation, then perhaps, leave ONE trhread on the board with an explantion

instead of deleting that thread also
DO THE MATHS AND THE SQUARES ARE ALL ROOTED.
mods please lock this thread and immediately ban Riewoldting and barks4eva.
Then proceed not to tell anybody they have been banned.
This has been fun.

Lock and explain in the same thread.HarveysDeciple wrote:Thats exactly what I did?
Left a thread explaining it, and deleted the rest...
Riewoldting you said, an explanation saying, pm sent, thread locked would have been sufficient?
so why wasn't that sufficient?
Not delete one thread, then create a new thread to explain the deletion. That's just asking for trouble.
Why is this concept so difficult for you?

I explained it in that thread?
Is that not what you are getting at? I deleted joffa's thread and pm'd him saying it was unnecessary..it had been on the forum about 10 seconds, so I figured no one had read it.
When you created a post asking why it had been deleted I realised obviously someone had read it, so I explained the action taken and locked it.
then with that thread still visible, why would you keep making threads?

Or what about explain in one thread and NOT delete or lock the thread, so that there is no reason to start another thread and DISCUSSION can continue

No; prior to that, I started a thread asking why joffaboy's thread was deleted.HarveysDeciple wrote:you started a thread saying why was it locked?

See above.HarveysDeciple wrote:Is that not what you are getting at?
You figured wrong.HarveysDeciple wrote:I deleted joffa's thread and pm'd him saying it was unnecessary..it had been on the forum about 10 seconds, so I figured no one had read it.
Don't delete threads in the first place, and you won't need to.HarveysDeciple wrote:When you created a post asking why it had been deleted I realised obviously someone had read it, so I explained the action taken and locked it.
Because my issue is with the initial thread deletion in lieu of locking plus explanation, OR leaving unlocked for discussion.HarveysDeciple wrote:then with that thread still visible, why would you keep making threads?

If the OP has no problem with the thread being deleted why has anybody else?
If it is your thread and it is deleted, complain then.

If you dont like the way it was handled thats fine, I apologise.
Didn't expect the reaction it got.
However as joffa stated, he is fine with his thread being deleted...so there is no issue.
An explanation as to the banning was given to the person involved.
joffaboy informed that the pm he received from Teflon came thursday night....hence before the banning was discussed with teflon.
There is now a post on the board outlining what happened.
Case closed.

Why do we actually need posts updating other members of bans on the footy board. It just makes the situation worse, and all decisions should be kept in house by the mod's. It is the first time in my first 17 months on this board, that I've become frustrated at the differing management styles - it all should be streamlined.
I'm here to get my footy fix, not to listen to bitching between other members. Fine have an opinion in an ethical matter, thats what we are here for good strong footy debate. Mod's lets you more of this, less of the individualized banter. I appreciate the efforts you make, but lets get on top of this one.
