    IMO, it makes sense. The Soccor Access Request forum is nothing more than the way to knock on the door and ask for a way in. If that way has been denied, whats the point of allowing the user to continue to be able to access the forum, and risk unnecessary spammings and muppetry from taking place?

    Do you mean you would support a pre emtive ban from the access forum for anyone denied access to the Soccer froum. Usually the mod just locks the request when it has been dealt with and would deal with any further posts on merit.

    Any way I,m glad to see common sense has prevailed and the silly ban has been Lifted so end of.

    No, I checked my access before I was a mod, after reading some thread or other in AH. I've had access for at least a year.
    Anyone can read the forum, it's the posting in it which is restricted.

    Glad it's all sorted out. Knobjockery of the highest order to ban someone for what was quite a funny request. Some people take all this internet stuff too seriously.

    Dun Laoire, I salute u :P

    Oh good grief.

    Dun laoire applied incorrectly ages ago. I got so many incorrect applications that I stated I would not consider anyone for application within a month of them applying incorrectly - he responded by posting the mentioned post and got a ban for it. He never contacted me to have his 1 month ban lifted and that was that.

    He then PM'd the other mods and not me (who deals with most of access requests) so his PMs weren't dealt with (they probably assumed I'd been cc'd) until he PM'd me directly.

    As for the strictness of soccer access requests, well when you have 50% of people being denied access, you need something to motivate them to follow the correct procedures.

    Regarding Dun Laoire, he has access now, his ban wasn't perm, he just never acked me to lift it. When he did, I did.

    Quite frankly, the idiocy of alot of the replies on this thread with opinions that have no basis. Some of the posters really deserve some face time with sweet lady brick.

    Boston had access way back when. He had some account tomfoolery with accounts merged and the result was that his current incarnation didn't have access. I made him apply for transparency but he should never have had his access revoked.

    I have no idea why Faith has access, but if you want I can remove it.

    actually, I just checked, she doesn't.

    yea, that's it.


    You were injecting some humour into the situation.

    I think it was patently obvious to everyone that you were brekaing your hole laughing during this thread ;)

    The only thing I would say to you is that the fact that, as an adult, you quoted the simpsons when you were being serious doesn't make it any cooler :P

    I was bemused. You'd be surprised what I find amusing. In fact by the time you finish your first residency, I'd imagine you'll be of similar disposition.

    Anyway, how do you know what my demeanour is. I'm about 7,000km away.

    The simpsons will always be cool Mo (whose quote it was) in particular.

    In fairness now lads, how is anyone supposed to take that as an actual serious request for access?
    If he's like that when trying to gain entry, what would he be like once he got in. That is a fair enough assumption for any Mod to make.

    no its not.

    if he's like that now (funny) then i want to see him post.

    lighten up.

    actually, to be honest, I was probably being a bit harsh on psi. I got bored and was probably looking to take the piss with someone, so i apologise, psi.

    What on earth is "my first residency" btw? is it like a toy for kids? :P

    No, not an internship - I think registrar is the Irish Equiv.

    Its a BBS and I live very far away from you.
