As you all know, it is EXTREMELY rare that I ban anyone. It is not something I want to do on my forums but sometimes I have exhausted the number of times I warn someone of their behaviour. I am left with no other option than to stop someone posting and resolve off-forum.

Unlike some forums and the likes of Facebook and Twitter, this site has a terms of use (a code of conduct if you like). It means that you cannot be rude, insulting or post to inflame a situation. It's actually very simple - be polite. That's it.

Some forums allow members to insult and troll each other. This isn't one of them, and won't be.

It is a credit to the overwhelming majority of members that I still moderate this site alone. That says a lot about the general acceptance of the above politeness requirement and that you all usually play nicely Smile

Mate, you do NOT need to justify ANYTHING.
I'm on a few forums, and the way you run this forum is EXEMPLARY.......I've seen what happens when threads become the victim of emotion,.
Just keep doing what you do, and congratulations on the BEST Defender forum anywhere.
Top Job, Pickles.

Is Thirded a thing? Anyway, thank you to our Martin for a premium forum. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.

This is the problem though isn't it, people make all sorts of snide and hurtful comments and in some cases are even openly aggressive and everyone who is not on the receiving end thinks oh it's just a bit of banter and is quite funny without taking the time to consider it from the side of the victim yet then when the victim finally has had enough and deals with their tormentor in a suitably adult manner then the watchers suddenly start making a fuss about how the original perpetrators were utterly blameless. If someone gets banned it's because they have done enough to deserve it.

Just out of interest, I was thinking what is in place to stop any member who has been banned from a forum just re-joining using another username and even using a different IP address, this is not difficult with such servers as TOR or even a VPN service. Email addresses are easy to obtain to obtain verifying links with some email servers even providing one off email addresses to hide true identities...

I hope that there is some extra level of software within your package that somehow stops this happening. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

In reply to Martins post I find this site.. THE best in trems of content and people supporting each other in what can only be described as some type of mental affliction or disorder (Defender ownership does have it challenges) Rolling with laughter
Anyway, I've been personally helped with my affliction by many on here and it has changed the way I now look at Forums... YOU lot are a credit to humanity (on the whole)....

It's a shame to ban people, I've personally found Nitram17 to be a valued member. However if he broke the rules and continued to do so after numerous warnings then he deserves a ban.

Martin, you run an excellent and truly invaluable forum, and are fully justified in your actions. Thumbs Up

I personally didn't see what happened so came comment at all. James

Can't comment either or find any derogatory posts/thread.

Shame, however rules are there for a reason.

Martin keep up the good work Thumbs Up you don't need to explain your self.

Thinking of how good this forum is and what we all get out of it I just realised that I haven't donated for quite some time so I just did.

Anyone else that thinks the site is worth a donation click the Donate button above or click this link.
