    I'd like to appeal this decision

    Edit: actually this should be in helpdesk, can a mod move it?

    Folks I can't link it as I've been banned from the forum, and also it's not appearing in my previous posts list.

    I like the high content of your appeal, shmuck.

    Do you think the people who might review your appeal are mindreaders?

    Links or be ignored, imo.

    and can anyone recommend a gym which only has ugly chicks?

    Personally, I think you got off light. I'd have permabanned you.

    Why would you have perma banned me? I was clearing just having a laugh, if you get wound up so easily perhaps the internet isn't for you.

    You would appear to have mistaken the Fitness forum for the Humour forum.

    As I've been here for some time, one would have to conclude that in fact, the internet is for me.

    It helps to read the Forum Charter for guidelines.

    I did read the forum charter, just can't remember reading that humour is banned from the fitness forum

    Perhaps they should add in a line on common sense then.

    If you did read the forum charter, you would have seen the bit about trolling and that's what your thread amounted to. Myself and the other fitness mods are in complete agreement here, your ban will not be lifted one minute earlier than the 6 months.

    Wikipedia has a good definition.
    An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.
