Spot on IMHO. We generally expect the members to self moderate, and in the main they do that very well, we step in occasionally if needs be, BUT we can't wet nurse every thread on the forums. smile

I would add, that IMHO the days of the disruptive member on threads will be curtailed and pleasantry will be the norm. There is a new ban matrix in development that will punish those who don't conform.

It’s a shame that a ten year old thread was closed due to the inevitable, this has become the norm now and it’s a shame.

Thanks for taking the time to post though TVR, a gushing fanboi;).

Not to derail this thread but didn't there used to be a procedure where threads were locked for a number of days/a week etc to let the nutters disperse to other areas of the internet for tinfoil-hattery? Then it came back and could resume as normal with normal contributors?

Posted at 23.24 and mod edited at 23.23 ??

How does that work then?

Edited by Tom Logan on Monday 20th November 20:26
Ah, got it.

biggrin
It was a tongue in cheek comment from back in the day when JAYB got moderator status - I think from memory he edited someones post in the lounge and then everyone was editing posts adding edited by JAYB - it was hard to followwhat was actually edited or not

And yes I should have changed the damn time but I hoped to be inside the min....

If a new matrix is going to come in, will it allow for reinstatement of members where the people they inadvertently got on the wrong side of, have long gone when their true colours were shown

Based on the crossover times, and exceptionally similar posting styles, the poster on that account appears to have been reborn under the TiT pseudonym.

Basically yes, we will have the option to not only thread/forum ban for a duration of time but also issue full site bans for set periods.

I knew that didnt make sense when I wrote it wink
I was asking about unbannings.
Where someone for some reason hasn't got on with a set of people in a forum, and the person has been banned to keep the peace, if eventually over time the set continues their ways and gets banned, at what point can the original person be reinstated?
or is it still if youre sent out, youre always out regardless

Not really something to be proud of.

Despite countless people telling you to pipe down, you continued to argue and ultimately the main reason why a thread that's nearly as old as your membership was closed. Ruining the excellent opportunity , insight and learning aspect for thousands of other people.

Really should be ashamed of yourself.

You forgot the "most argumentative member".

2CV gets that one.
Quite, he categorically argues even after he has been proven wrong.

Haymarket don't run Pistonheads, the mods do, Haymarket aren't interested in Pistonheads.
TooMany CVs professes to know the answer but in reality he is full of bull manure.

It's really horses for courses, it depends as to why the original ban was instigated as to whether it will be rescinded.
