How many forums have you been banned on

Post by papabear »

After getting banned from LU for a couple of weeks today. They don't like my opinion in respect of the salary cap.

I figured it was worth a thread to comment on it.

I have also been banned from broncoshq.

Anybody else had any close brushes with the law?

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

I thought my bhq trolling was going along ok, until one day I couldn't log in anymore.

TBH imo it shows a lack of intelligence from the administrators, they could just counter arguments with logical points but they just move to the stick.

What where you doing on a mothers forum and how did you get banned?

None, I'm too polite online even to dick heads.

Only received one warning on the GH as well
I bow down to thee oh great Nickman, the wisest of the wise, your political adroitness is unsurpassed, your sagacity is unmatched, your wisdom shines through on this forum amongst us mere mortals as bright as your scalp under the light of a full moon, never shall I doubt your analytical prowess again. You are my hero, my lord, my savior, may you accept my offerings so you continue to bless us with your genius.

Nah I've never been banned. I think GE is patiently waiting for the day though... He's gunna cut circle work on my front lawn with his ban-mobile.

I was banned from RLFans a few years back, I posted some of the following year's jersey designs that ISC had released, they were deleted from my post without any explanation so I added them back in. They were deleted again, this time I was told that it was because the clubs involved weren't ready to officially announce the designs. I pointed out to the mod/admin involved that they were already "in the public domain" because ISC had published them, I was then banned for being too argumentative.


Oh well, life goes on.

I tried hard to get banned from LU at one stage, but Legend wouldn't do it because it would have given me too much satisfaction.

How can a bloke we all know is on 600k at the knights be signed on for the amount Hoffman was on, regardless of who you think is the better player every man and his dog knows Hoffman was on a lot less then boyd and boyd wouldn't have canned his 600k for 2015 for less cash.

Added to that, from the folau article on the weekend it appears that the broncos are lining folau up to get the NRL to pay him outside of the salary cap. If that's the case, why don't the broncos/news limited just pay him as they don't have a proper salary cap anyways.

Then there was general comments on TPP's.

I was of the understanding that they had to be totally independent of the football club, if so, why are they only signed when a new contract is signed, in such case they should be part of the salary cap.

I don't think Broncos meat supplying Co should be exempt from the salary cap when it pays the other 5 million of player payments owed.

I also noted the roosters were in the same boat and questioned why these two clubs appear to be above salary cap laws but every other club who gets caught gets penalised, even though besides the dogs/storm (and even them included) they cheat the salary cap less.
