I still don't understand what's happened over there. 
started off with * threatening members who were maybe non-pc with newbies, due to newbies coming on for free advice and not taking it, thus getting some members agitated. then he went bersek and gave me a warning for replying to a post from spoon. * had used the word "cocky" to describe some members responses. spoon said " who can say what's cocky"? i replied to spoon "fanny" . for that i got a ban warning and stripped of respected member. you work it out. is * on the wrong time of the month?

I have absolutely no idea why I got a ban ..... none what so ever.

One minute I asked Dan if he had had time to look at the log in issues I was having, then Dan, myself and another we’re discussing an issue my son has not being able to print from his gaming pc  (since he had installed a vpn) and the next day I had a ban

no warning, no explanation ..... just very bizarre.

It's happened before. Remember the cull of regular long standing members a while ago. 

I dont know the politics behind it, an I don't so much care. 

He must see it as a way of protecting his investment, after all, more page clicks means more money. Hence I imagine the .net change and opening it up world wide

Obviously we cannot get on with everybody but keyboard fisticuffs  are not welcome on here  .   Swearing is filtered out.  

Although most of us don't agree with the 5 Week Wonder system of producing a fully trained  spark in five weeks  but if they're asking sensible questions most of us will offer advice  . 

I don't think a newbie poster should need to open up with  .." First time posting  , please be gentle  "  etc   . I'm a great believer in ..if you don't know something , ask . 

I think less experienced sparks should feel safe in asking for advice .....no different to asking an older spark when learning the trade . 

No one should be belittled on here .     ( Except for the occasional  , outright ,up their own rectum , big headed , refuses to listen , know it all, total tosspots  who have passed through on occasion )

my thoughts entirely. pity the owner of a certain other forum can't see this.

Scoob - scooby snack, as in reward for good behaviour from a certain old cartoon. 

Not been on the darkside, 1 forum is enough for me! We like to keep things civil on here, the forum was started as a spin off from the old screwfix forum, which was quite viscious at times, although I found it a great way of learning the regs many years ago. So as a general rule we like to keep things positive, ie you positievly do not know what your talking about, rather than calling people a useless Fennel, even if they deserve it!! We have occassional firk ups in that, and yes I have been guilty at times  :innocent .

Either way  :Welcome:  and I hope you enjoy your time on here

PS rude words get turned into vegtables courgette, arse Fennel **** ********

OOPs arse and **** don't get filtered  :slap

 
Just a saying nothing to worry about, didn't realise people can get so touchy over a saying
There's a thread up about you elsewhere.

It's as if you died. They're saying what a great life you led and you were in poor health recently.
