Hi,
I'm almost sure I'm opening myself up for a big fat 'denied' here but I'm gonna ask anyway. May I be unbanned from the soccer board?

To summarise, since I was banned all of 11 months ago I haven't had any major urge to get my name back on the board due to the general standard of bickering and heavy-handedness that existed and fact of the matter is I deliberately got myself banned because I'd had enough of it and felt like going out on a bang.

The recent news of general meltdown of the soccerboard didn't surprise me in the slightest as it had been getting worse and worse and more agressive (on all sides) the entire time I was there and clearly had got even worse after I'd left to lead to this. I reckoned that be the case and as such never sought readmission - in fact never envisioned myself EVER seeking readmission so the banning suited me quite well.

However since this recent shutdown of soccer1 and anticipated re-opening of soccer2 I have honestly been impressed with the reaction from the organisers and the GENUINE footy fans here and I envision that when this board is reopened it won't be the agressive, disrespectful and generally unpleasant place soccer1 was before and instead will be a genuine success and a board that will consign the last board to bad memories. As such I'd like in this time round and I'm not ashamed to come here and humbly ask for that right either.

The reasons I think you should consider me for unbanning are as follows:
1. At the time I apologised to Gandalf for the abusive behavior on my part.

2. I was banned for issues with the standard of modding (leads on in point '3') and not for the 'my team is better than your team so f-off loser' rudeness that (I understand?) lead to the eventual downfall of soccer1.

3. I finally accept that whilst the modding on soccer1 was IMHO heavy handed it was a neccesary evil.

4. I have been banned for nearly a year now without ever once (until now) asking to be unbanned - surely a sign that I am not just desperate to get back in there and start causing trouble again?

5. My behavior on the other boards since my banning has been (in my own opinion) congenial, good humoured, respectful and (whenever possible) helpful to other members. I intend to continue this behaviour in soccer2 too if admitted.

6. I actually do have an excellent knowledge of the game and feel I have an educated opinion to share with the group.

7. Finally, the fact in itself that by typing all this here I'm opening myself for swift rejection on a public forum shows the sincerity of my request and my commitment to (pardon the pun) 'stay onside' if admitted.

Anyway, thanks for reading this and no hard feelings whatever your final decision may be.

Anyone with that stupid ignorant Nazi sig will have their access turned off by me. I dont care what anyone else says (and I'mfairly certain they'd agree with me) but you dont get to have privileges while simultaneously insulting one of the people supplying you with that privilege.

I would have thought that would fairly commonsensical etc... hand that feeds you and all...

Shaque attack

oops Ive not explained my sig properly, I should have put it in quote brackets.
Ecksor made that pic himself AFAIK. I thought it was funny and was trying to share the joke.
I meant no insult to ecksor or any of the admins, I was supporting ecksor AGAINST the rabble who were complaining about soccer being shut down.

Picture removed anyway, sorry about the misinterpretation, my bad.

I would like access too please.

super_furry

Me too.

qwertyup

Wouldn't mind access, since I don't post enough to have any people to vouch for me.

Still, so long as it is there is read access for all I can manage without if I must.

ok, my mistake (though the feelings are genuine and stand). I dont think Ecksor made that himself, maybe he did. *shrug*.
Either way this is a perfect example of people putting too little context into their internet writings. I just presumed you were expressing anger at xor and using your sig to have a swipe at him... the real reason was a lot more complex then Occam's Razor would have lead one to believe...

What has someones sig got to do with weather or not they should have access to a soccer forum? You find it offencive then ban people from the site. Don't have two standards about the issue at hand.

I didn't make that image, I was merely opportunistic in using it in that post to comment upon Bungalow Bill's frustrations.

Pacifico

The Forum is open now:dunno:

Mr. Fancypants

I'd like access too please.

Partly as a human (yes, remember, admins are carbon lifeforms who get pissed off too) response and partly because while I may not want to delete their sig or ban that user from the forums (my annoying sense of even-handedness and protection of their rights to be dickheads flares up at that) I sure as **** dont want to see admins or mods lift a finger to help these people. Such people simply have to learn that insulting people while asking them for a favour is a Bad Idea.

Anyway, in the case in point it was a case of mis-communication of genuine meaning.

Would you snap-to and help someone who in their sig was likening you to Hitler? Would you fcnk!
