Is a 1 month ban for a frequent poster disproportionate - too hard; and for an infrequent poster too little?????????
Let all the MRP critics decide this one!

Seems disproportionate for alleged crime.
25 hours would have been fair.

no, just like speeding fines aren't based on a person's income in Australia.

For the frequency of the baiting seems a little light on.

When someone takes over the whole forum something has to give! Too many posters have been put off by the hijacking of just about every thread by two egomaniacs.

Looking forward to the next month!

I got banned from Big Footy for a month - and I am not too sure why. They dont give you reasons - they just lock you out of your account and say you are banned.

Im pretty sure it was because I abused Bruce Mathieson the pokies king and baited Blues fans.

Just couldn't help myself

The Saints section on BF is very good. Great discussion, debate and posters. A few well informed with a bit of inside club knowledge too. Venture outside the Saints board at your own risk!

Yes to the thread question (why are people getting off topic)? It seems very harsh.


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
