The 'Atticus Finch viewing the mainboard' thread

[Atticus Finch of Maycomb]

Dear Mods/Admin,

Thank you very much for returning the right of thread-starting to registered users. I think it is a good idea and in the right spirit of the messageboard to allow this. It now seems fair to me that registered users get three posts and paid-up members get unlimited.

The messageboard has been following a 'new era' policy which I admire and will do a lot to repair some of the damage of past mistakes made by the mods and admin of this previously excellent site and service.

However, there is still one thing that I think is unfortunate. My account has been prohibited from both viewing and posting on the main board for coming on a year now. I used to have a lot of infractions but I behaved for a long time and now I have none. I do not see it written anywhere in your rules that people will get banned from even viewing the main board due to any such offence. I still think it is not right that I am banned from the main board, even if I was a fool in the past.

I have been on these messageboards for over ten years now. This is the greatest injustice I have suffered, and no Mod or Admin has ever explain or even conversed with me about this main-board bannign decision, never even explaining why it happened in the first place or when it would expire, if ever.

I would like some sense of why this has happened, if it will ever expire, and/or what I need to do to end this unjust main-board injunction.

Regards,

AFoM

Agreed.

[buctootim]

Nutshell

[Smirking_Saint]

Seems pretty unarguable to me.

No it doesn't.

[jawillwill]

Agreed. TRAF has served his time (unjustly), its about time he returned.

[scotty]

What did you do to get banned in the first place? If you're still barred after a year I guess the site owners must have thought it pretty serious, but a years a long time to harbour a grudge.

[Robsk II]

Got out of the box they keep him in.

[benjii]

Let him in!

[RonManager]

Free the Maycomb 1!

[ribbo]

heroic post!

[Jonnyboy]

end homophobia now

[Ponty]

Agreed. It was always harsh.

[buctootim]

end homophobia now

err. I didnt realise he was a poof. Can I change my vote?

I am happy for the reason(s) whatever they are to be posted on this thread for all to see.

Interesting that the mods moved this from the Lounge to the Muppet Show but still haven't graced me with a response or reason as to why I am excluded.

Gutless.

[Atticus Finch of Maycomb]

AFOM is a c0(k!

[SuperMikey]

Don't see why not.

[norwaysaint]

I think the mods really need to justify these bans or swallow their pride and lift them, it's starting to look a bit petty and personal now, especially moving what is a pretty sensible and serious comment from the lounge into the Muppet Show just out of spite.
Kadeem and Atticus are pretty harmless. Let them back, then if they earn a ban, ban them.

It isn't serious

[Deano6]

It isn't serious

What do you mean? You don't think he really does want to view the main board? Why do you say that?

[Robsk II]

Surely anyone only registers here out of interest for Saints, hypochondriac? Seems harsh to me.

[Atticus Finch of Maycomb]

Update for everyone:

I was banned from the main board with no explaination or any sort of correspondence with the Mods/Adin on here about a year ago.

The same happened to Kadeem Hardison at around the same time.

I have tried, unsuccessfully, to speak to the mdos on here about it, as discussed above. No one has been forthcoming. I believe KH has tried the same.

Anyway, skip forward to yesterday. Boj started this thread: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?26051-Anyone-on-here-live-in-the-northeast-or-northwest-of-england in the Lounge.

Kadeem mentioned that he lived in the North of England. Boj got back to him straight away, saying that he would return KH's right to access the mainoard, provided that Kadeem did him some sort of weird favour involving collecting sand.

I continue to receive no comment from anyone, including Boj.

So there we have it. The rules are just changed at random, such as handing out a weird and unusual punishment such as banning mainboard access wth no comment/explaination/timespan.

The rules also change back, arbitrarily, provided you do the Admins a favour.

Why is this important to anyone except me or KH? Because the same could happen to you. Or anyone on here.

[Robsk II]

Surreal.

[hypochondriac]

Surreal.

You do realise it's a wind up rob right?

[Thedelldays]

AFoM is a ghey

[Deano6]

I don't think it is. Kadeem has stated it over on the other thread and Baj has not denied PMing him for a favour, which would surely be the first thing you'd do if it was untrue!

[saint francis]

Good Point Deano.

Tiggs obviously wants to visit the mainboard. If trading's the in thing on here at the mo, perhaps he could exchange his mainboard banning for banning of another forum instead. Personaly I've wanted his ass off 'Technology Chat' for months.

He hasn't denied PMing the request at all. All he's said is that he didn't offer the main board rights back. Sounds to me he probably said something like "we'll consider letting you back if you do this" and is falling back on this now.

Come on Baj - did you write to Tiggs or didn't you?

[Atticus Finch of Maycomb]

It is interesting that everything else I say you assume is a wind-up, until I say something that it is possible to be prejudiced against, then it must be true.

Presumably, though, as a serviceman and a sailor-boy you practice both homophobia and homsexuality in equal measure.

Trust me it is a wind up.

So it is so difficult to believe that Boj would act in this unfair and unscrupilous manner, so a wind-up is the only answer.

Lets have Boj post the PM he sent to Tiggs on here for us all to see. Then we can make up our own minds.

Maybe once you see the proof it will stop you being such a soppy lap-dog to the Admin who reports pretty much every post he reads, like a little baby.

[hypochondriac]

Lol

[Kadeem Hardison]

Forgive hypochondriac, AFOM. He finds it difficult to reconcile what his mind fixes itself upon to be true with what actually happens in the world. i.e., it is convenient for his mind to pigeonhole anything you or I do into the 'wind-up' category, because it cannot cope with it being anything different. It perhaps doesn't work on other levels - who knows? It isn't for me to say. But he certainly cannot work outside of his own fixed ideas on things, that's for sure. For example, he says he never reported any Deppo posts, yet during the week leading up to the beginning of September there were 15 reported posts in total on SWF. hypochondriac made 5 of those reports - all for Deppo's posts. Interestingly, he denies this and will continue to deny this, I'd imagine. Although let's not write off the fella yet. Perhaps his mind does have capabilities outside of its own comfortable levels. The powers of the mind can astound us sometimes.

[hypochondriac]

I admit Kadeem I was indeed the phantom reporter. I need help an guidance from your good self to change my ways xxx

Apparently Hypochondriac was also the only person to report Deppo at that time. So the many posters who have since expressed their disappointment at losing one of the few entertaining and interesting posters, know exactly which joyless and dull poster to blame for the deterioration of this forum. Just out of interest how many would prefer to be without Hypochondriac than Deppo?

[Kadeem Hardison]

I don't think we should take it to that level, norwaysaint. Hypochondriac has plenty to offer this place. Indeed, without the likes of him, plenty of Deppo's humour wouldn't work on the levels that it does.

Actually, I hacked into deppo's account and posted all the pointless stuff that broke the rules to get him banned. I am an evil genius me.

Thanks Kadeem. Always thought of you as an ally.

Wow. What a tit.

[Atticus Finch of Maycomb]

Still banned. Still no reason. Still no contact.

[Atticus Finch of Maycomb]

I keep thinking that one day I will wake up and the whole 'Being banned from the Mainboard' will have all been a dream.

I still pray for the day that I can log on to the mainboard and see Alpine being negative, Guided Missile being libellous, and everyone else calling for the sacking of whoever our manager is (I think it might be Burley) every time we concede a goal, even if we are winning.

I'd love to have seen all the wrist-slitting when we went behind at Exeter, or when the Daily Mail kept telling us that Oxlade-Chamberlain was going here, there and everywhere. To think, Oxlade-Chamberlain was still in nappies when I last saw the main board.

None of you f*ckers care because you can all SEE the mainbaord. None of you f*ckers care because this gross injustice and web of lies and cover-ups that Baj is spewing out on these forums don't affect you - yet.

It makes my blood boil to see *****s like Dune who have been banned about 6 and a half million times from racism and fascism is still allowed to post, and presumably still see the mainboard.

What was my crime? Being sarcastic. Is that it? Being sarcastic? You f*cker, Baj. You absolute f*cking f*cker.

[Deppo]

F**k you and f**k this f**king place.

[Bath Saint]

The whole thing does seem incredibly vindictive.

So speaks the voice of reason.

[Atticus Finch of Maycomb]

F**k you and f**k this f**king place.

Deppo believe that all imprisoned Paedophiles should be set free and given free council housing.

I have no proof but he definitely said it.

It is people like him who are ruining this planet.

[SuperMikey]

Gross injustice? F*cking hell. There are other forums Atticus, obviously the mods have some reason for your ban remaining intact (however facile it may or may not be) and FWIW I don't think it's worth getting that angry about.

Chill out and go register on UI or something.

[Deppo]

They'll come for you next, SuperMikey. I am with these comrades. In fact, I am going to do a grand gesture to get them out of clink.

It wasn't all that long ago I considered grooming you for sex, SuperMikey.

Now I don't think I will f*cking bother.

Anyway, I am off to track down St Landrew and take revenge on everyone and everything he hold's dear.

[SuperMikey]

No reason to stop the grooming Atticus, don't throw your toys out of the pram ;)

You can reinstate him though. Go on, just do it.

it does seem extreme that this poster is not allowed to see the main board, there again it may be a blessing in disguise for him. Some of the rubbish put on there at times!!!!

[OldNick]

How could Hypo keep complaining about Deppo!!!! if he goes this place will be boring

I want to believe you, truely I do.

[Atticus Finch of Maycomb]

How about this. Just let me view the main board. I don't want to post. You can restrict my posting rights. Just let me see it.

[Baj]

Have you even tried contacting steve, as I've suggested, many times...

[Kadeem Hardison]

Have you even tried contacting steve, as I've suggested, many times...

Out of interest, how do I do that? I can't PM. I've started a thread on steve's own website (here) asking why and he doesn't seem to want to reply. I imagine he is aware of it though, as its been here ages.

Just be grateful they're turning a blind eye to you having several logins Atti****. It doesn't bother me, but I'd imagine other payed up members might see this as you taking liberties.

[Atticus Finch of Maycomb]

Me and Kadeem are different people, though to be fair, it doesn't help things when Kadeem answers posts to me as if they are addressed to him.

[Kadeem Hardison]

We're all the same inside, Atti****. Except dune. He's made entirely out of hatred.

[BadgerBadger]

Jack-a-fckin-nory

Who cares - well obviously me in a 'who gives a **** anyway'

Just ban or release for fcks sake, whoever is in control just sort it out one way or another (not sure who is in control but whoever is in control sort it out FFS)
