I think its time we let him back. What, its been like the fourth or fifth time he has returned only to be banned again.

And while I find his inability to move on and join another website bizzare you have to admire his gargantuan efforts to post on here.

But I have some questions:

Why would you return to a website you've been repeatedly banned from? Clearly the moderators do not want you here.

Why would you, upon secret/undercover return, then argue with the same person you originally argued with (with the now banned account)? That/those person/people are clearly going to recognise you and expose the undercover return.

Why would you reference past and identical occurances and discussions from your previous account? This I can't get my head round, do you want to get caught?

But all that asked and said, Porgy desperately wants to be here and I think we should just let him.

    Bans of established members generally aren't permanent. For example, if you, DDD, went on a super rant and got banned, you'd probably be allowed back after being allowed to calm down for a bit. It's down to the discretion of the admin who applied the ban though.

    There are some things which will greatly affect your chances of being banned:
    Posting porn, disgusting images etc. - you ain't coming back
    Sending the admins abusive messages after we ban you - that's really not going to help
    Constantly creating new accounts to try to get around the ban - we're just going to ban you again.

    So, Porgy, when you read this (which I'm sure you will): Stop creating new accounts. You're not helping yourself. IF you haven't annoyed the admin who banned you originally too much, you may be allowed back at some point in the future. If not, you're just going to keep getting banned.

    How about if 'someone' gets banned because they send a PM to another forum member, telling them to "fook off", just because they post something they disagree with?

    I'm a moderator on another busy forum elsewhere on the internet (though admittedly not as busy as this one!). We have the same problems with trolls/irritating members creating multiple new accounts/proxy IPs after we have swung the ban hammer - the internet is obviously the same wherever you go!

    The problem is - the more you talk about them, the more they are getting the attention they are seeking. You just have to ignore them, and they will eventually get bored and go elsewhere.

    And yes, forum members who behave like this are generally fairly stupid :lol:

    Made the thread in 2010.

    I was surprised to see it ressurected. Seems like its "Dig up DDD's past thread/posts week".

    Even more surprised to see Porgy actually invite people, from a forum he was banned from, to join his twitter account.

    Popular guy, should come back. :roll:

  • Don't feel sorry for me dude - I'm better off not on here - it was soul sapping; just nipped back for a look through and I see its the same old saddoes arguing the same old tired crap - jeez - get a life why don't you?

    DDD - believe it or not I did actually get on with some people here - not you though you fuck!

    Anyway - as I'm trying to boost my followers up beyond 2000 I thought i'd see if there were any to be had here. If not - c'est la vie, but it'd be nice to get back in touch with the few people i felt i got along with.

    I might just be a bit thick but I could only find a load of posts about a tube strike. Seems pretty normal fare for this forum. What's all the fuss about? Let me join your club. Please. Do tell.

    Porgy was a frequent poster here when I 1st started posting. I think I met him once at the Morpeth. He got banned for some reason or other...
    Do not write below this line. Office use only.
  • Absolutely amazed that I haven't been banned yet, since outing myself as Porgy :D

    Reason I keep coming back here is that it's one of the few cycling boards that I can access at work.... :oops:

    And it gets so boring at work after 5.30!!

    Hi Headhunter - yeah we met once, you seemed like quite a decent chap if a little misguided int he political department :D

    Well, if I don't get banend again, I might just stick around.

    <waits for ban>
