Softy...

All opposing fans?

Maybe its better to clear some of our own trash out first, more foolish United muppets on here than anything right now.


As for Softy what did he do? Piss Marching off?
 
Oh and get rid of all opposing fans means goodbye Marching too.

:D

I thought Raoul banned him.

No, he just packed his bags and moved to Canada after Liverpool's disasterous year last year. He hasn't posted much since.

Care to name names? Or define a muppet/trash?

I've seen some people on here described as muppets simply for daring to criticise the team or the manager.

On the other hand there are some who I would deem muppets, but others don't. So who decides?

Banning is generally down to being persistently abusive, racist, threatening, or a general wind-up.

Whilst fans who appear to be of the glory-seeking kind may be annoying to say the least, banning them would seem a bit excessive.
 
I've yet to see a case where a member who wasn't banned, had the word 'banned' under their name. :)

I saw Banned under his location which usualy indicates he was banned, non?

He wasn't banned originally, which is the answer to the initial question.

Although I didn't post it, it had my blessing. However, I believe it was more in response to spinoza's call for all opposition fans to be banned - he also suggested United muppets, perhaps you should also take it up with him?

To be honest, I'm not going to enter into any kind of debate over banning. At the end of the day, people are banned when certain people want it/get sick of it. It's not always just and it's not always wrong. It's been argued about before.

Everything seems excessive round here.

It's impossible to please everyone. When the forum is filled with crass posts, that's wrong, and if you don't get rid of all the rubbish, that's wrong as well. But if you do get rid of it, you can get accused of being high-minded, narrow-minded, having no sense of humour etc. etc.

You can ban people who are offensive but then others stick up for them and you never hear the end of it. Some fans are muppets to others, but what gives someone the right to dismiss another supporter in this manner?

Can you really have policies which stipulate that no rubbish threads will be accepted? Or that no poster can voice any concerns over the team's poor performances, or a player's poor performances.

You said that a moderator is there to moderate and not to be told what to do - well that's fair enough, but not everyone is of the same opinion. Every admin. decision meets with some kind of objection, whether it's banning someone, deletion of threads/posts, or even changing the name of the forums.

Seems that if you try to be fair you get accused of not doing enough. If you clamp down on someone, you get accused of over-reacting, being high-handed etc.

Impossible to keep several thousand members happy - so do those with the most posts get the most say or what?

You're saying everything is over-excessive, but at the same time, people are complaining because nothing was done about all the garbage in the United forum.

The only answer is a policy of what Admin says goes, full stop. Being reasonably tolerant doesn't appear to work.

I suppose it's too late to point out that I was joking?

I know you were joking Spin. It wasn't really your post that started it - just a continuation of a wider issue. :)

So then, back to the point.

Why was Softy banned?
 
Surely he hasn't really been banned?

Has he made some more predicitions that Marching didn't like or something?
 
He obviously did something to warrant it. I doubt Phil really cares since he doesn't post much here anyways.
 
Just seems a bit weird that all, I didn't see anything he did to get him a ban, nothing.
 
Don't worry I now know why.

Davo wasnt far off the mark, not a shock I must say.

:rolleyes:

Not really a big deal is it. He only shows up once in a blue moon anyway.


No I just wondered that all, he isn't too worried about it.

Petty though thats all.
 
I wouldn't say its petty. Its probably a predictable result after what he did. But hey...there's always YAWN to catch up with him. :)
