(Providing I am not getting anyone to divulge anything covered by the official secrets act or say anything that may upset the mods, that is)

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

it was disgusting what accrington barbie said!!!

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

So they slagged off the moderators which we all know gets you a ban. But did it anyway. Then they get there mates and families and the rest to cry about it.

And now your both back under different names slagging them off again.

Scratch your head for a while and think about it people.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

yes i did but iam not slagging any one off just asking questions if some one says somthing bad on my thread remove there post not stop me asking questions

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

pink. and you wonder why you get banned ?

Re: why has my thread been closed

Get some fresh air dear. you are losing it.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Can't. have a real life to lead. Gotta go do that now. You spend far too much time on here. even banned you are on. Try a real life. more fun.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

god i love this thread!

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Course you are
































NOT:p ;)

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Hear hear.Bring back Flashytart and Slinky.A/B should be the one who is banned.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Are you Catherine Tate????????????????????:D

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Well you have her legs...............:D

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Well I never knew my wife was so popular on this forum :D might have to watch her.:p

i am telling her of all the well wishes anyway so she is aware......" shouts another into the bathroom" hehe

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

I think everyone should be unbanned..

Threads calling people ******* aint exactly productive but they can just be deleted. If you have a real point about a mod then make a thread in a productive manner without namecalling and he/she would have a hard time deleting it without getting a backlash!

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

i think your spot on cyfr

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Well said mate:D Cyfr El Presedente :D :D :D :D

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Yes I have to agree :rolleyes:

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Hate to say this but its not just slinks & flashy been banned its tinks as well.

I feel sorry for ging & mthead - bet you theyre cursing left right and centre and theyre getting the brunt of it. :D

Anyway please unban them Mick and Len - accyweb will be a lot quieter without them around.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

what did tinks say? or do

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

I dont know and we wont know until someone finds out and comes on and tells us.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

sorry tinks is a 'come out in support of little sis' she hasnt been banned.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Yeah Tinks says Little sis and bezza mate.:D

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

No slinky didn't say anything about tinks getting banned.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

like i said MY mistake - oops!!! tinks will bash me on the karma now!!! lol If you giving any out - give it me over on lancs - i lost it all trying to nick off Neal!!:D

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

you lot are a jolly bunch arnt ya :D

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Can someone inform this newly arrived back member what all this double talk is all about. I have read every post in the thread and I'm still no wiser what it is about. All I do know is people do not get banned for nothing on this site. I myself have sailed close to the wind on many occasions, but have been warned and heeded advice. The thing I cannot understand is that names mentioned on this thread are seasoned members so please what has gone on?

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Hi Ianto....I'm slinky's hubby and all I can say is...you was lucky to get a warning mate!!! she didn't.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Certaian people have been calling certain mods for deleting posts and certain people getting banned.If you ask me its all OTT.Someone that should have been banned wasn't and it all stems from there.If I go into to much detail I will probably get banned.Though the perpatrators know who they are and we will see at the next meet;) If they turn up:)

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

All I can say is the mods have a thankless job to do and have to monitor the site, without wanting to appear patronisiong as anyone who knows me will tell you I always speak my mind as I see fit, but within the rules. If the rules are not adhered to, and lets face it it is a child/family orientated site. No I am not taking sides when you join the rules are given to you, ok we all take a few liberties now and again but if bans have been given they must have been just cause, this is my last word on this subject save to say,"would you like to be a moderator, I certainly would not" they can't win whatever they do.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: .........................

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

EXACTLY the rules was not adheared to,the real perpatrater was not dealt with.Wrong people got banned.The rules state you can not have more than one name on here but somebody has.One name banned but allowed to post rubbish under another name.And the certain Mod knows he is doing this.No names at all mentioned but how can they explain themselves?If they dont wanna do it here PM me.But they probably haven't the 'Bottle' to do it.;)

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Now from what I have seen and heard.....that is the full of it ;)

that was her gripe........the wrong person got banned and the other is still able to post end of.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

They wont explain thier actions,how can they ?They have power on here;) But they dont have in real life.I'd like the person involved to PM me please to explain.I'm doing nothing wrong with requesting this totally polite.Unless they want to do it face to face at next meet:D

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Geez, ya step away from Accyweb for an afternoon and alll heck breaks out. Guess i can find out next week but am also very curiousas to what went on. Can't believe we'll lose our lovely ladies for more than a day or too eh? Miss ya already girls!

Must admit it is delightful to see Ginger and MTHead stepping in and being more verbous than I've ever seen em before!;) :p

Brian

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

So do I, they might actually have to give their women folk some now that they are going to bed at night instead of staying on here :rolleyes: :D :D :D

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

I know some users don't like what has happened recently but it is in the rules.

Look here for the rules.
Below are a few of them, I can't find the one that used to say banned users will be banned again if they return with a new user name so maybe that no longer applies. Maybe a mod could confirm this so we know, most of the falling out was to do with someone returning and it might now be allowed.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

I hate that no edit after 10mins.

I also wanted to say that that threads like this about why a thread is closed are not really allowed because they question the mods decision in open forum. If you want to know why a thread is closed/deleted you should really ask the mods in a PM.
If we are not careful the site will start to fall to bits, the only threads we will have will either be closed or ones asking why one was closed.

We all know the mods on this site enjoy a good laugh with the rest of us and actually allow many posts that are a little too iffy, I have even been known to post the occasional iffy post myself ;). Even though they do allow a little rule bending we have to accept that rules are here for the good of the site.

I personally like all the members who have been banned and I am sure the decision to ban them can't have been and easy one.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

I am sorry if you don't agree with my opinion but I like AccyWeb and I believe that things are only deleted/edited for the good of the site (except the football section, its like the Bermuda Triangle, things disappear in there for no apparent reason)

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

I knew that before I posted, I instantly recognised you from this

:D :D :D

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

cant see you staying away that long lol

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

totally agree with you Neil , lots of stuff degenerates into doorstep gossip , (if you want to natter use your cell phones or find a chat room) ;) ;)

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

I've never had a problem with anything in there,and that says alot with me not being one of the Stanley fans.They have always been friendly enough to me and I've never had anything disappear.Can't speak for everyone though:D

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Well, I have just read the five pages on this post, and I think it just a load of garbage. Somebody broke the rules. When you joined the site you agreed to abide by the rules. The moderators are in place to oversee the site, and if the rules are broken, the punishment for the misdemeanour is in place. So why not just accept the punishment, put the whole argument to bed and let us all get back to the harmonious gathering that we really are.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

The rules also state one member one account and a certain perpetrator is still on.That the grievance one rule for one and another rule for another.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Thats why we have anything goes.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Exactly it should be fair all round & has unfortunately created a deal of confusion, annoyance & trust in forum rules:rolleyes:

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

I'm afraid reading this thread as an individual thread leaves you in the dark as to what has really gone on. I agree with Neil earlier in that there are ways and means of complaining but the real issue for everyones annoyance is still there.

Not only is a person who has been banned several times already using another name but he has also hijacked a young girls account and is posting as her. If you feel comfortable with that then by all means stick to your guns but I think it leaves a bitter taste in peoples mouths and a great deal of mistrust.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

I don't feel happy at all that rules have been broken, or that a banned member is impostering another member, but surely there are clauses in the rules that cover this, and it should be dealt with by the moderators?

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

It is reaching a point that dispite all the good people on here there are those who flout the rules so ften with multi logins and trying to do it just to wind people up. Those that try to show that person banned is back seems to end up frustrated and angry and therefore lashes out even when they dont mean to. Certain subjects are so tinder dry that it dosnt take much to inflame it. We need to take a step back from it and see if the rules can be tightened without the Mods copping a load of earache over it. Maybe there are not enough mods for certain areas and that mods from other sections could step in to lighten the load a bit.

Too much infighting spoils the sight and will encourage some shy members to abandon it and others not to join. Not looking for scape goats just an even playing fielsd so that we can all get back to the banter that we used to have. Without the banter and the characters that help make this site it will deteriate and become a shadow of its former self. I will admit that I gave serious consideration to pulling back for a while last night but decided that would defeat the purpose and would not help matters.

Lets just pick a day to start from scratch and try and get this all behind us. Chuck the badness retrieve the madness I say and lets rock.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Good post Spuggie

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Fair point spugster, i've noticed accyweb has gone downhill a lot lately with a bad aurora about for some months & lost its fun madness [i remain to stay mental regardless hehehe] but as with owt in life a reinforcement of the forum rules & boundaries should be reset & stuck to. Im mearely confused by the whole situation especially yesterday which happened very fast. People are going to run amuck if they aren't told what they have done wrong & have that explained - maybe if a moderator could speak on behalf of the moderators to answer this issue so thus not keeping it going round in circles & update on whats happening with the banned people & as with Accrington Barbie as to whether the claims have been established etc, so that everyone is clear of the rules & blah blah.

Lack of communication will always be a breakdown of social/interactive/working & personal relationships - even forums.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Lets get started then, how about a day ending in 'Y' :D

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

So thats every daY then:rolleyes:

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Well it would avoid any arguments about which day we choose :Banane23:

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Please lets give the mods a chance to get their heads together to sort this out and be patient with them. It will be a delicate balancing act to keep all happy. It will be worth it in the end even if we have to settle for a comprimise.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Now theres a sensible thing bless u father spuggie:D

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

I have now read all this thread and am still non the wiser as to what the flippin heck is going on!! I figure that Slinky and Flashy have been banned :(

But from what everyone is saying shouldn't this other member be banned aswell? I hope the mods have looked into this (as i'm sure they have) because this seems like a case of one rule for one.... ( but i really don't know what the original thread was about) I'll wait to ask someone at the meet what that was about, dont want to get anybody else in trouble.

In the end Spuggie is right we should just wait and see what the mods have to say when they have sorted all of this out.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

My sentiments exactly Spug. The guys who police this site have a thankless task, one which I would not wish to burden myself with, so in this instant , let us get behind them, and hope they can solve the problems and stop all this bickering. Best of Luck.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

:drunk: :drunk: As you can see by the number of posts in over the past two years, I'm not one for making comment on site. As a seventy five year old geriatric I derive most of my pleasure from reading your comments, debates and sometimes solutions, but occasionally can be drawn out of my hibernation, as on this one. I sincerely hope my enforced pennyworth has helped with a dignified ending.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

I once asked 'in jest' what would happen if I stopped using Gayle (I got a bit fed up because I always have to be sensible because everyone knows who I am) as my user name and logged on with a new name - I was told that I would be found out immediately and both user names would be banned. So, I'm a bit puzzled if it isn't happening with other people - not that I'm going to test it.

So, what really gets me is why some people feel the need to test how far they can go before they get banned. It's almost like they wear it like a badge of honour, 'I pushed the boundary so far that I've been banned and bounced back'.

It's not a contest to see how many user names and bans you can rack up.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

It looks like for some people it is.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

24 hours with my pc down.:(

Glad to see I haven't missed anything interesting whilst I've been off line.:D

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Sadly I wasn't keeping a dignified silence for a change, I missed it all.:D

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

oooo not like you rindy.....

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Excuse me, its my job to be sarcastic :rolleyes:

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

just thought i'd jump in on this one.............he he he

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

On here its like a big extened family and like all families there will be a falling out once in a while but everything gets forgiven and its back to normal. Compared to some extended families I think we are quite a balanced lot really.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Seeing as its you Mother I don't mind :D

Insulting & Nasty Posts
Posts that are just insulting or nasty are not allowed on this website.


hmmm isn't this where this all began?

and if so why hasn't this person been banned for this floutation of the rules coupled with the whole double login thing it seems a sure-fire case for dismissal to me

as far as i'm concerned this is an open forum and as such people have the right to the freedom of speech and unfortunately some people have chosen to take this away from other people in this instance

by posting on this site we all leave ourselves open to criticism (believe me i've had my share)
so why should the mods be any different? if you do or say something on here that you know others won't like, be prepared to take the hits like the rest of us

the only reason the mods don't is because they have the power not to, if we all had the power to delete posts and ban people who say something we don't like there wouldn't be an accyweb!
most of us are grown adults and can look after ourselves in an argument or discussion and that is what accyweb is here for and it's about time the site stopped being so political about things and get itself back to where it was as somwhere it seems to have lost it's way


well i've had my say and judging by recent events it could be my last for a while we'll just have to wait and see :D

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

I agree Willow, if people don't like that then they should leave. It is one of the rules you agree to when joining.

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

The moderators are here to do a job. I've had posts deleted in the past & I've sent an email / pm to a moderator to find out why. They have explained their decision & that was the end of the subject.

:)

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

so are a lot of things which are flouted on here and more to the point are allowed to go un-moderated this is exactly the point that has been made one rule for one and another for everyone else

let's put it another way:
who polices the police?
are the police above the law?
are the government immune from criticism?
i think not just because you are in a position of power (no matter how small)
it does not give you the right to abuse that priveledge nor does it make you immune from criticism that is what happens in a dictatorship and not a democracy
this is a public open forum and as such it's members should be more than welcome to express their views publicly

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

ahh but yes they can if a thread is abusive,nasty etc etc

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

Which is, I think, what they actually do. ;)

Re: why has my thread been closed
 

obviously not on this occasion

the fact remains that regular contributers to the site have been banned for voicing their opinion that the moderators failed to uphold these rules

this may or may not be the case but rather than banning people maybe they should have explained either publicly or via pm to the offended parties as to what they were actually doing about the situation then a lot of this could have been avoided instead they have chosen to shoot first and ask questions later.
