What does it take ??

Evening all

Just back after my latest ban



Just read a PM saying that one more infraction will see a permanent ban from here

Also been told certain members have been banned loads of times but still seem to be around :mmm:

So quick question, how do some manage to survive on here ??

Welcome back, Play nicely and you will be just fine :thup:

I am restricted to discussing my latest incident but safe to say I didn't abuse anyone, didn't troll anyone but still seen myself out for 3 weeks,

A bit like when the Pros get put on the clock during a tournament...
They get on with it until they're off the clock.
Same here.
Get an infraction, get noticed, play nice, fall off the radar....

Even starting a thread like this gets you noticed....
Play by the rules.
We're golfers, we play by the rules all the time..
Play by the rules here = no problems.
Simples.

Dump the ego, on here it's meaningless.

Its not quite like that though is it, after the editor reminding everyone about the rules and how strict it will be enforced you only have to look in the football thread to see how this is being abused.

Its a joke, the mods are above reproach as criticising them is an infraction yet they are some of the worst offenders, stirring threads up and then dishing out bans to anyone they take a dislike to. It would take 10 seconds to highlight posts which should be deleted and infraction given out, but as they are by one of the mods mates nothing gets done.

Pathetic

I predict that Steve Lawson's stay on the forum is likely to be quite a short one.

Clearly an alternate account from someone scared of a ban. I hope they've posted from a different IP address than usual or their effort will be in vain!

I don’t really reckon you’ve done anything wrong, just mixed it up a bit
Just use the forum for what you need. In my case hooking up for a few games with some fellas that i like. There’s no mileage in having an online spat with someone you’re never gonna meet.
The mods have a tough job, but there are certain things they let go that should be clamped down on.
Constant repetition by the same poster, cut & paste posting to boost post count, casual misogyny and homophobic behaviour is often ignored. All these are more important than someone with strong views on the wind up

 

[User101]

Well this is a little hornets nest I've stirred up

I mean, the suggestion that some are being treated differently to others is a scandalous slur upon the fine job the mods on here do. :mmm: who'd have thunk it

It is hard to believe how someone can rack up 20k posts and have had numerous bans but still not be permanently banned though :thup:


So what I've learned is, don't be yourself, be someone else other than yourself and you'll be fine. If you're in with the right guys, you'll be fine, but if you act the same as some of the right guys you won't necessarily be treated the same....hahaha...

I give myself a week before I'm permanently banned if my previous two infractions are anything to go by or this post or topic will see me banned before then

 

[User101]

I don’t really reckon you’ve done anything wrong,

No neither do I, but I'm not the judge of that. My first one or two infractions may have been merited but the last two have been interesting, but that's not a criticism, oh no, because that's naughty and not allowed.

I pr3dict this thread will be locked and swept under the carpet with nothing being done to address the abuse of 'power' that goes on.

Probably, but you’ve no point unless you’re specific?

Abuse of power will always happen, what isn't right is some folk getting away with things when others barely have to sneeze and they're gone....

I think that's a bit harsh on the mods, I've criticised the mods before for not being consistent and never had a infraction, mainly they do a good job and it's voluntary to help the smooth running of the forum.

But your point about highlighting posts that should be deleted is a valid one.

So you've criticised the mods but not had an infraction??

Yet I highlighted something a while back then got an infraction for "criticising the mods"....
