I'm not saying they ever had to accept his rhetoric if they didn't want to... just that it seems odd that it WAS allowed to go on for many years and then a permanent ban, without much other action being taken first. And I hate to say it but... in the spirit again of calling a spade a spade; he had a major-ish run in with Vicky in a thread (member-to-member not member-to-mod) and then pissed off Niamh in another large thread... and within a week he was perma banned.

Again I'm not saying that the things he was saying were fine or acceptable but it was the same stuff he had been ranting for literally years at other members all across the forum without being banned... and then after a couple of run ins with staff he was gone. It was never really explained in anything more than a wishy-washy way... and I personally think there's still a pretty major question mark hanging over it . If it was the star of a major policy overhaul that would be one thing... but nothing has changed in regards to other people with similar rants / opinions.

My only two theories are that either it's because he went to battle with the wrong people, OR that somehow misogyny has become TiBB's #1 felony and everything else is still pretty much OK.

Its more about multis than banned members...i would follow the rule set out in the rules and ban both accounts..one perma and one for 2weeks.....

Like i got in about 2012.

I'll teach you about the forum features another day. Today you should probably focus on responding to the thread topic.

Or you know, the constant rule breaking and ignoring the reasons for his infractions thereby clearly not learning from them, led to the mods finally pulling their finger out of their arses? idk just a theory

Oh I completely agree.

The inconsistent application of the rules is the biggest problem out of everything.

In regards to him I think it was more everyone feeling he should be banned as he wasn't contributing much but there's only a couple of people who can apply permabans. I don't think any mod can do it so it was them disagreeing for so long.

There needs to be a fixed rule in place though that applies equally.

No I don’t - you are just conveniently buying into Withano’s screwed theories - no surprises there.

Literally this. She rarely responds to the thread topic, its just a compulsive need to discuss herself or others. Its so boring watching her constantly derail perfectly interesting threads.

Let them back if you want but allowing them back under a new username is just plain odd.

Especially as the rule on multis is still there.

I agree with this.

Letting people back under new names just causes people to presume new members are multis and they get treated pretty badly by some members, DouglasS/MeMyselfandI is a prime example of someone coming back to simply cause trouble but being allowed back all the same.

He was allowed back and almost straight away he got caught cheating in the pub quiz and make it seem like it was Luke. How long until he acts out again?

It must be hard to stay on topic when you have five quoted posts to reply to...your inability to see this astounds me.

Perfectly good reason to ban him, yes, BUT the reason there's a question mark is that there are plenty of people guilty of this who are still posting away... and frankly, as bad as Truth was, I wouldn't say he was even in the top 5 worst. So why, specifically, was Truth made "the example" and permabanned? And without it being an ongoing policy of permabanning people guilty of what you describe?

Again I have to go back to the two possibilities: 1) he pissed off the wrong people on the wrong day or 2) his major issue generally was misogyny and that's considered by staff to be "a worse crime" (or rather, something they can't deal with seeing) MORE than other similar offenses, and the "reasoning" for the permaban was cobbled together after the decision was already made.

You have a compulsive need to discuss me which clearly has not gone unnoticed by others. You need to keep yourself in check mate. You create the situation and then try to put it on me. You are a devious so and so.

Withano has nothing to do with the bullsh*t your posting in response to me.

This is the last off topic rubbish I will respond to.

Right.. but coming into threads, ignoring the OP, and instantly replying in disagreeance with someone whilst usually talking about herself or others wont help, obviously. Its what happened in this thread, its what happens regularly when she gets into SD&N.
