    Not in relation to me , but another user Mossy Monk. A good contributer to threads... He got banned for personal abuse to a troll. I also called the troll a muppet and didn't get banned.

    That's unfair. You should lift the ban........

    I've already unbanned him. I reversed the decision once I confirmed that the other user was a phoenix account and a troll and Mossy Monk doesn't cause trouble normally so I gave him the benefit of the doubt in the matter. I didn't see your post because after a quick read of salthillwarrior's posts I figured him for a second account and so on.

    The reason you can't see the post that says he's banned is because I deleted it after I unbanned him.

    I think the decision was reversed.

    Indeed, but calling him one doesn't help, paying them any sort of attention just encourages them.

    Exactly. It's best to just ignore them and report it and a moderator will deal with them. Otherwise you're just doing exactly what they want you to do.

    One for those who say that raising a valid complaint here never gets actioned by the mods. The fact is that 90% of the complaints here are whinges from little b*tch with skinned knees who got rightfully slapped. In Mossy's case thats not true and the mods reversed it. Good modding and fair dues.

    DeV.

    Indeed. Maybe feeding Trolls should be bannable too!

    :)

    I don't know, if the troll is any good people won't realise they're being trolled until 3 or 4 pages in. Plus some people are so easily trolled that they'd spend more time being banned than having posting access. :p

    That and I don't like banning people, if I can solve something without doing it I'll take that route. Bans should be a last resort imho. They create hassle for everyone involved including the mod.
