Why has Marki been banned now too?

I see stig boasting rather ungentlemanly about binning him. Looked like two sides to every story to me.

Don't people go in the sinbin any more. They just seem to get banned. What's going on?

[Stig]

Simple - he persistently broke the rules of posting on PH and was warned/sin-binned several times for it (so I gather). Basically, enough was enough.

For the record - I didn't ban him.

I wasn't 'boasting' about him being banned, but he got what he deserved. Perhaps if you take the time to read the thread you'll understand why - not to mention the reaction from the Ultima regulars!

I did read it all. It looked two sided to me.

Do the "Ultima regulars" decide who gets banned then?

What about the Ultima posters that were actually threatning him, did they get binned as well?

No they don't - I gather he was banned as he'd already been sin-binned three times for similar transgressions. It's a shame, but when you sign up to PH you agree to abide by the rules of posting - no one particularly likes them, but they're there for a reason. If you can't/won't follow them, then it's time to move on.

Well, two wrongs don't make a right, but marki was trolling that thread and the other posters reacted in kind.

As I said, it's a shame, but marki had more than his fair share or warnings about it and it seems this was one occasion too many.

That's all I've got to say about it.

I like the way you circumvent naming the responsible. Was it the computer? The system?

Threats directed at a fellow PH'er must surely count as a rather more serious matter than a bit of trolling. That's where I draw the line regarding things progressing beyond a bit of more or less harmless fun.
