hypochondriac

Growing on me.

It's pretty irrelevant whether you think he deserved infractions or not. Fact is, he was fully aware of what the line was, he was infracted enough tines and reminded by baj via pm enough times to have a pretty clear idea. He chose to overstep the mark on almost a daily basis and so he is entirely to blame for his banning.

A saying which aptly sums up why deppo finds himself in his current predicament. If you keep climbing into the ring knowing full well the consequences, then eventually you are going to be knocked out.

I believe there was an amnesty in banned posters though admittedly I am unsure if the timescales if this.

What I meant to say was that there is a perception by some on this thread that there is favouritism being shown. That part of my reply was in response to them. I apologize for not making that clearer. In my defense it is late and I an working so have my mind on other things.

You aren't aware of it so best we don't pursue it further. Suffice to say I had my reasons and the mods and admin were fully aware of this.

Note baj's reply in this thread. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?p=992792

Go through his post history (say the last fifty posts) and count how many comments were posted in a serious thread which were of a jokey or off topic nature. It's fine to do that once in a while, but when the vast majority of your posts are like this then it is clearly going to cause problems.

This was discussed previously and reasons why this is not the case are given. Generally it causes more problems than it solves. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?28713-Making-Infractions-Public

Quite obviously he has not racked up as many infraction points. The sheer number or times that deppo flouted the rules is what did for him in the end.

Maybe I overreacted but then you are not aware of deppos history of constantly following my posts around and posting pointless and totally off topic comments. Taken in isolation then I overreacted but in context the reaction and infraction was entirely justified.

I have a few yes (all from baj) and many more in my time which have since expired. As you don't know how many infractions are dishes out to each individual, I don't think you can say there is favoritism going on.

If you really believe that deppo was singled out for personal reasons and not banned because he posted wind up comments significantly more than any other poster then you need your eyes testing.

I have no idea I am not a mod. It is an example of one pointless and potentially thread derailing remark on a serious topic. It annoyed me because I was trying to discuss it sensibly which is why I posted it in the lounge for a proper discussion. A comment is not deemed worthy of an infraction just because the poster involved decides to be offended or not, it is the discretion of the mods and admin team. It is also quite possible that someone else reported it because they were as sick as I was by deppos constant trolling. Besides it wasn't just one little comment, it was a comment on virtually every thread I started. This forum isn't a democracy, it's run how the admin decide it is run.

Your first two points are matters of opinion. There are instances where comments like that from deppo have led to a thread being taken off topic. It is clear to me and the mods/admin why he was infracted for that and it is also clear that he did that many times, quite a few the mods let slide. He can't say he wasn't warned.

It was an example of a pointless comment on a serious thread which was purely designed to derail it. I wasn't offended. You asked for an example of some posts which broke the rules well there you go.

Source? Or just a hunch?

He made another comment in a serious thread about earthquakes which was deleted but many people were clearly annoyed by it (I didn't see the post itself).

Here is one example and there are numerous others. Before anyone starts no I did not report him, he was infracted before I had even seen it. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?28699-Wonders-of-the-solar-system

There were numerous examples of him derailing serious threads and posting abusive comments. TMS is for banter and stupidity and can be tolerated to a point in other areas of the forum but clearly if you continue to do it over twenty times then you are doing It on purpose. Being mildly amusing every so often does not give someone license to do what they like. You suggest that deppo was not aware of what he was doing, yet why is it that he has been banned twice whilst everyone else remains ban free? And lol at someone saying I wished deppo dead

I imagine he was banned for continuing to break the rules.

Great news. Baj has gone up (slightly) in my estimation.

Think it is very unfair to judge someone on half a game playing out of position. He did well in the prem, was Burnley's POTS and was really good for us in the CCC at a younger age. I would be absolutely delighted if we signed him.

What an incredibly patronising (and ludicrous) post.

Never understood why we turned down ward and signed seaborne.
