    I hate the snowflake term. It’s only used by people who can’t put a decent argument across.

    The post I was banned for (or that caused the accumulation of points) was quoted in my message informing me of the ban. I maintain that that post had nothing but truth that I can back up if required.

    You should incorporate the points next to the user names, like some sort of badge of (dis) honour.

    No... because people would just be tw@ts for the craic knowing their not going to be banned yet

    It's the not knowing that keeps the tw@t posts in check

    I am a 28 year old university student, but yes, I am a dullard.

    Do you want me to tell you about my interest in collecting football pin badges?

    Further to this, it's not very helpful to see that you have an unread message when you try to access the site that you can't read due to being banned.

    As Stork said the warning points system used is down the moderator and works like a driving points system where you get to so many and you trigger a ban - but is not set in stone and is flexible

    Usually the moderator will message or edit a users post a few times before they start to dish out warnings , Unless its spam or really abusive then its an instant ban

    The first warning no points are issued , Its a gentle reminder to behave

    Issuing a second warning the user will receive 1 to 2 points

    if the user receives 5 points they trigger a 1 month ban

    if the user receives 10 points - they will receive a permanent ban

    Points last so long then you have a clean licence again


    Moderators have the option of issuing various temporary bans

    This is where a poster continually causes aggravation despite having multiple posts deleted , but is not bad enough for a permanent ban yet

    Longer bans are discussed first between the mods

    HTH

    Seems a bit unfair to ask for cash donations and not be transparent about how you could be kicked off the site.

    If you cant play by the rules.. of which there arnt many you can have no complaints

    No one forces folk to either donate or post here

    Posters get plenty of warnings before a ban

    Good idea. As long as people are aware that they have a warning, how many points they have and when the points are wiped.

    The alternative is that people are completely in the dark then end up banned. That's what happened to me.

    I think I had a couple of posts removed or edited due to swears, (won't someone think of the children :eek2:) which presumably set my 'warning level' higher. Then I was banned for a post that apparently took me over the threshold. This post by the way is:

    A. The truth
    B. Not edited or deleted by mods
    C. Still right here on the website.

    Interesting that there's a few swears and sexism from a couple of mods on this thread but no doubt that's OK. :unsure:

    I got a warning yet again but where's my right of confronting the mod and discussing it? The problem with c&b was over moderation from snowflakes and you've carried that on here. You've set on a mod that caused a load of problems on the old site and the a bunch of retired old dullards. This place is going down the very same path

    Not for me I'm afraid, a place between the 2 would be nice for me.
