    I'd have more sympathy if it weren't for the sheer amount of bans you've managed to gather.

    Do you not begin to think it might be you, not the moderators?

    Anyway - you had just got back from a ban. Perhaps keeping the comments in check might be the key to successful life in that forum in future.

    Yes, how ever given the actual comment I was banned for, it's hardly justified, regardless of my history.

    As I explained to you by PM and as BuffyBot pointed out you just came off a ban in the LL for stirring and generally winding people up on the forum. Your first post on your return is a smartarse picture https://us.v-cdn.net/6034073/uploads/attachments/161792/81799.jpg in the "know your loungers" thread, which was deleted and you were warned over.

    Then you throw in the little dig that you were banned over. And it was a dig. If you claim it wasn't there are only two choices. You either know it was a dig and seek to deny it, or you have no clue how to behave in that forum. Either way you shouldn't post there in that manner.

    Your sig itself could well be construed as stirring, or at least in LL. At least one poster referred to it.

    Your user history elsewhere though informative of you as a poster doesn't really concern me, it's how you act in the ladies lounge that concerns me. The stirring is consistent thing with you on LL. If you like I'll list your posts from the start. Your posts are consistently stirring and frankly if you post like that you're not welcome there(and I dont see why you would want to bother posting anyway). It's against the spirit and charter of the forum. Simple as that.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I refer you to my last post.

    In isolation, not much of an issue, but has a touch of the snide about it and it was more the straw that broke the camels back. Until such times as you stop stirring, then the camels back will be set to highly sensitive.

    You consistently and repeatedly stir and troll in the ladies lounge and you already got a ban for doing so. It was a pretty short term ban and gave you the benefit of the doubt. You abused that and when it was lifted and you posted you were warned on the pics thread on your very first post. Hardly someone who wants to be a part of the community, or you're someone who doesn't understand that community. On that post alone considering your posting history, in retrospect you should have been banned for that, but again you were given the benefit of the doubt and warned.

    It could well be argued that you have not a single constructive post in your entire time in the forum. IMHO you got a way shorter ban than you should have gotten in the first place. Comments re "time of the month", suggesting another poster should "take an 9mm aspirin" suggesting another users boyfriend is a "wanker". The list is long and more of your posts have been deleted for adding precisely nothing to the thread and causing offence than anyone else in my time on it. Your record for reported posts is damned high too.

    Each forum on this site has it's own rules and feel to the community. Ladies lounge is no different. What flies in say AH does not fly there. The charter is plain to see and as I said your style of posting doesn't seem to fit and judging from your ban/infraction history it's not the only forum where this is the case.


    That's my take on it. If another LL mod wants to chime in, I'm cool with that happening.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    You are a terrible moderator. Maybe it's your time of the month or something.

    Neat trick if it was and if you wanted any more reasons why the mods may have an issue with you......

    It's really terribly simple. The Ladies Lounge Charter states:
    tLL Charter wrote:
    First off: No flaming, trolling, spamming, personal abuse of any kind, porn, rape jokes, paedophilia jokes, off topic posts or derailing of threads, degrading of women whether you think its funny or not, cheesy sleazy pick up lines, requests for pictures or txt speak.

    This is a forum where women can post without fear of all of the above, a ‘safe’ forum if you will.
    Your posts by and large contravene the points highlighted above. Your most recent post, which you were banned for could easily be construed as flaming and trolling and derailing the thread. Ban entirely deserved, good call on Wibbs' part.
