*sigh* I guess this subject isn't going to go away.

This is an old board with a long and storied history of ructions, ruckuses, feuds and flame wars. At one time it was one of the biggest and most active FS boards on the net with comings and goings and a core of 50-60 people who posted nearly every day and another couple hundred people who were regulars. It had the BEST movie section (sadly gone downhill since with the demise of RapidShare) and something was almost always going on here.

I agree with Touri in one sense - that people do change and grow weary of the bullshit and sometimes deserve second chances. Sometimes there are just people who wind each other up and should not be on the same board. Sometimes there are those who go through an angry period. Maradona, for example.... I'd love to see him back. I love that guy, although we fought like caged cats for a while. We talked it out later like adults and as far as I am concerned we're good. I think reinstatement for some of them might be considered, and if they ask it probably will happen.

However - remember that there are always two sides to every story and no matter what you think or have been told nobody was ever banned from this board by just one mod. It took (and takes) an agreement of the staff room. A permanent ban was rare - the person had to break some rule repeatedly, physically threaten someone, or have gone through a succession of short-term bans before a permanent ban was ever enforced. I ask that if you weren't here when it happened, don't judge the mod team past or present. Sometimes there really was no other way.

They are a few members it would be kind of fun to have back I suppose, but for 99.9% of them I have no opinion either way, there are, however a couple that to be quite honest, my relationship with them got so bad, or the crimes behind the ban was so awful, that is they were allowed to come back then I would be out of here.

Sorry to sound like a selfish, sulky teenager, and I am not trying to influence the mod, that never works out well for people lol

This thread is hilarious.

/and it only took four hours and twenty six minutes

For what?

Ummm... I'm pissed off by a mosquito buzzing around me while I'm trying to work. It was freezing here last night, I just don't understand how the little blood sucker could still be alive!

Ha ha
 

Nothing really, its good to be alive.

Fuck, fuck, fuck! I'm so sick of the stupid flatmate and his giggly girlfriend, coming in at all hours of the night, banging dishes and talking loudly, like they're the only ones here. Yes, I'm in my own room, but the walls are thin and I can hear every word.

I've already asked him to leave, as my other flatmate hates his guts, but the slippery sucker begged for a reprieve, promising to leave before the month was up. Well, the month is up in 2 days' time. He says they'll be gone and they better be. I fucking hate having my sleep disrupted like this. Why the fuck do they have to be banging and dropping things in the kitchen at midnight!?

Fuck!

AND it's not the first time. I've asked the arrogant little shit not to make such noise at 1 and 2 am (it is now almost 1am), and he was all "oh, of course". Taking the piss, basically he doesn't give a shit and just says what sounds good at the time, to get me off his back.

Rant over!

I agree with you for once. Banging in the kitchen at any time is a bit inconsiderate when you share a house. I hope they wiped the side down afterwards?

I haven't had a good bang in the kitchen for a while....now I'm pissed off :)

x

That reminds me, I still need to replace your Mums best teapot.

I wish it was that kind of banging. At least then, there wouldn't be a smell of burning food drifting into my room (with the door closed, believe it or not).

I love banging in the kitchen. Which I can't do right now cos I've still got the flu. So that pisses me off :D

Into the new day.

Gotta agree with this. I'm doing ok :) :skull-bee

Nothing to worry about, there are no un bannings on the horizon.

A whining bairn..........

Got competition? :D

You're cruising lady!!! ;)

(wouldn't let me rep you though)

She's always cruising. I'm proper going to learn her if she's stupid enough to come anywhere near me. Bloody Irish! They're worse than you Sweaty Socks. ;)
