hypochondriac

As long as posters realise that in general, threads in the lounge are of a serious nature and respect that then I'm sure there will be no problem going forward.

Of course, but your comments are excessively harsh and fly in the face of the available evidence. If cork was as poor as you claim then he would not be as highly sought after as he is, but you probably know better than most npc managers because you have a coaching badge.

Feel free to continue but as I told you, you aren't aware of the context so your posts are uninformed. I apologise for misquoting you but as I told you, it was late and I was doing work whilst halfheartedly posting on here and I misread what you had said. Oh and I'm not a 'lad'.

Of deppo posting wind up comments on serious threads? Have a quick look through his posting history. I gave you two examples earlier but if you are as curious as you claim, then go and have a look your self.

In isolation, did the comment on that thread merit an infraction? Probably not. But if it was the tenth or fiftieth example of deppo posting a wind up comment in a serious thread despite being asked not to then at some point he is going to get an infraction. I am certain that he did it lots of times and was not infracted. He certainly did it a heck of a lot more than other posters.

I believe we had this discussion last night where I told you it was best that you dropped it because you were not aware of the context an were thus not sufficiently qualified to answer. You will have to ask a mod but I trust them to run the forum as they see fit. As I told you, the forum is not a democracy.

Not sure why you think this has anything to do with me, this is about deppo being banned. Besides, I wouldn't be stupid enough to continually flout the rules on numerous ocassions. You are also forgetting that deppo himself had a habit of reporting other people's posts.

The old saintsweb had brilliant humour in the appropriate places. The use of the * in serious threads was respected and worked well. Posters who wrote silly stuff on serious threads were reprimanded. Nothing has changed in that sense.

What does annoy me is when people justify a price increase by saying it's the price of success whilst conveniently ignoring norwich.

It was half a game playing out of position. He is one of the top midfielders in the npc and young so can only improve. Anyone who wouldn't want him needs their judgement questioned. Having said that you think Davis was one of the worst keepers in league one so I think that says it all.

Hitchens is one of the most odious, smarmy and patronising people I have ever had the displeasure to correspond with.

Yes that is the point. The club loses no value by getting new training facilities. Despite what I was told I am still waiting to be convinced that we have the same level of backing than we did this time last year.

Who said we should close the thread? Amateurs.

I would be really happy. Would be. Brilliant signing and statement of intent.

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.
