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?

Tbf I don't know what he's done before this if he's a returning permabanned member, but Douglas seems fine?

Hmm. And it's always Josy who closes my stupid really fun and lighthearted jokey SD threads .

There's only one explanation. Josy HATES FUN.

Also this thread was a really funny read

Just saying but I liked MMI when he was banned under that name and was friendly with DouglasS before what happened in the pub quiz so me bringing him up is nothing about old bad feelings just a good example of the point I was making.

I just find it odd some people are 'indefinitely' banned and their multis banned instantly when they were relatively harmless (gamepodfan, johnny123) when somebody who was allowed back in all good faith and clearly showed they were back simply to disrupt is allowed their...what? 3rd return?

If you have one acc on a computer using your wireless and another on your smartphone using mobile data, the IP addresses will always be consistent and different.

OR if you have two computers and one of them is always on a constantly shifting VPN. That probably throws up some really bizarre IP addresses for me . "WTF why is Toy Soldier in Kazakhstan ".

(Though I tend not to use the Secret Squirrel PC for things like TiBB)


OR if you want to get really pedestrian; you can just have two Chrome instances running on the same computer and have one of them going through a free VPN like hidemyass or whatever.

Not that I've had multis on other forums in the past or anything.

Won't go into the MMI scenario but as DouglasS he tried to cheat in the pub quiz by making accounts on DigitalSpy asking for answers and tried to get LukeB blamed.

The forum has lost so many good members,now it is just a group of people who seem to like to throw one liners around,so not that interesting anymore,I liked Kirk aswell but he was driven off ,as for brillo being named,I have no idea who they were and really don't care,she is a really nice member who gets a hard time on here by some,the forum belongs to the owner,not us we should all be adult enough to be able to share it.

I've noticed whenever Brillo makes a comment its the same people who come back at her trying to give her a hard time. I admire her, she speaks a lot of sense and isn't afraid to speak her mind. I hope Brillo never leaves the forum. I'm not here that much but I see the same bunch of members that make snarky comments to the ones who aren't part of the 'clique' Well to me it does feel clique sometimes. Probably why I'm not here much because a lot of people on here try to make out you are a bad person just for having a different view to them. I guess I keep coming back because thankfully there are some people on the forum who are actually nice people, Kazanne, Brillo and Cherie to name a couple

No 'cos Parm thought Brillo was male so Vicky will be triggered.

[caprimint]

Omg I didn't know brillopad was wombai?! If that's true then heyyyyy!!! I missed your presence on the forum, I don't post in serious debates ever so I rarely see your posts anymore. Hope you're well!!

Thank you, I appreciate these posts

Tbf, I'd admire their effort. I am dubious as to whether these multi's actually exist though. Because if they do, this thread would basically be 'I'M VERY CROSS WITH A MEMBER FOR BREAKINGGTHE RULES, but I'm not saying who cos'. Would seem like Parm has changed his story somewhere im the middle there.

Well I mean the proof is in the pudding

Previously banned members have been allowed to return and haven’t changed, clearly there’s no “probation period” because of there was most of them would have failed.

I’m sure mods do discuss letting members back onto the site, but at the same time, once said members are back, the probability of them being repermabanned is slim to none
