I'd imagine the system automatically lifted their ban.

Who are we talking about here?

I could be way off but I guess Berba

He's actually making a proper contribution in the Spurs forum and has been for quite a while. At least give him a chance, from what I've seen of his posts here he hasn't been trolling at all, he's giving his proper opinion and people can see that.

Any chance of a mod banning the serial troll in the United thread? I can deal with opinions that go against the grain but this guy is just full retard.

I honestly don't see how anyone could come to that conclusion from reading last night's contributions to the thread, still I suppose the "baddest son of a bitch" boards has ever seen has different standards to the rest of us.

Fair play to him!!! Let's see how he gets on in other club threads though!!!

A soccer forum beers night would be like going to a pub full of famous people. I can't quite get my head around sitting down at a table with Des, LuckyLloyd, Mr Alan, Kess, etc!!!! Never mind if Berba and WillMunny turned up!! That would be mental!

Talking from experience, the controverial posters online ain't half as controversial when you meet them in real life. Generally speaking. :pac:

Berba perma banned? Bit harsh lads, thought he had genuinely been making an effort to change his posting style for the most part.

Frisbee

He's told half the story in his DRP thread tbh.

He hasn't been permabanned in a 'that's the end of that' kind of way.

He's been banned until we decide if we want to bother letting him back in. Plus we're putting together a new set of rules for anyone coming back from a ban and we figured because he's caused such a massive amount of trouble in the past he's be a good case to start with and test them out.

Blatter

Too Lenient

Ah right, perma banned did sound kind of final tbh.

I was following the part in the United thread that he seems to have got banned over and in fairness when he was corrected over something he was clearly wrong about he did thank the post in acknowledgement and left it at that, as far as I remember anyway. His few posts in the thread that night were a bit flimsy alright, but nothing more than that imo.

Just thought it was over zealous moderating and wouldn't like to see other posters getting banned over it. At the same time I can see why a mod would be overly strict with someone that has been previously a big enough troublemaker on the forum.

Anyway what happens with that is up to you guys to decide just thought I'd give my two cents on how I saw it.

Exactly, stricter moderation was asked for regarding trolls, as far as I'm concerned he would be back to his old ways after the euros tbh.

Yeah, stricter moderation when it's merited, not for the sake of it.

Presumption is the mother of all fcuk ups. If he goes back to his old ways after the Euros then ban him then. Simples.

I'm reading this latest news through floods of tears.

willmunny1990

This was from Ix Deadmau5 on BERBA:

Why do they keep letting you back here? Its pathetic.

IMO this is more pathetic than BERBA being left back into the forum.

It should be an infractable offence to post drivel like this imo as this is nothing more than fishing for thanks and off topic posting.

I thought BERBA was making a genuine contribution to the forum this time around and clearly accepted he was wrong by thanking The Kew Tours post after he made him aware these were official quotes in regard to the Carrick situation.

Totally outrageous modding to ban him like that.

monkey9

I had a look back at those posts from Berba. To me, it seemed more of the same. Posting stuff up for a windup!! The only change in his posting style as far as i can see is he didn't end his post with a :rolleyes::rolleyes:

"outrageous"? really?

well it's obvious you've read none of the explanations so.

a decision will be made on him, and all cases like him, because there are many posters with multiple offences, many of whom never learn their lessons, that we need a policy for.

we were actually lenient in not permabanning him, and others like him, in the first place.

mods are lenient, and they get bollocked by some.

mods are strict, they got bollocked by some.

i suppose it's just the way it is, but it's quite interesting to see who defends who on some occasions.

If its Berba which seems to be the case then I think you are dead wrong. I think the guy is funny actually. I don't think he is one that winds people up too much either. You know what to expect if you start conversing with him.

Theres a bigger problem on here in recent times and its guys calling others trolls because they don't like some of their posts. And then theres the ones that just can't let any post go. They have to nitpick on every little post. Some of these guys are good posters but for some reason when it comes to their own club they just lose their sanity.

Anyways for me Berba was fine, he just posts a lot and is a bit of a smartarse but I've never seen him being a lowlife at any stage, I've never seen him get personal with anybody either.

it will only be a few weeks though and tbh this is the soccer board not the club football board. I did make one for each group but that should if anything cut down on the amount of overall threads as individual games wont have their own threads with some excepts (Ireland & England games for example are always going to deserve their own threads tbh).

LuckyLloyd

This is what the people want right now.

If it means that someone is discouraged from posting 'rumours flying around on twitter that PSG are in for Rooney for £60m' because their club superthread is on the second page then there are bigger tragedies I say.

How is plasmaguy still able to post? It's quite clear by now he only trying to provoke a reaction, he doesn't even read other people's posts. The Trap Watch thread was going great at the start, some really good points being brought up by posters on both sides of the argument, but then plasmaguy entered and rendered the thread unreadable. He should at the very least be banned from that thread.

I know the answer to this question, but I'll ask it anyway.

Have you reported posts of his, specifically from that thread?

This is not the place for that.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Too Lenient

I wouldn't normally do this but plasmaguy has showed time and time again that he's only looking for a reaction. At the last count he has posted 41 times in that thread, not one of them worthy of an infraction, but as a sum they surely warrant a ban from the thread at least. he ruined what was an excellent thread. Also his posting style is similar to that of a so-called 'troll', I, along with a few others, am actually on his ignore list for disagreeing with an opinion of his.

G.K.

He's on a final warning regarding that thread.

I'd like to see infractions or warnings given for that kind of behaviour.
Replying with "ignored" or "you're going on ignore" to anybody who happens to challenge your opinion is obnoxious,childish and breaks the don't be a dick rule imo.

Seeing some child post, oh i have him on ignore now is fookin retarded at best, nobody cares and it should be an offence like any other, though enforced consistently not on case by case rubbish, case by case equates to user by user, same rules for all regardless of good/bad posting history.

What's the deal with bypassing the swear filter, I don't see why people should have to resort to swearing to others. Fair enough if someone is commenting on a match and they say "that's a cúntish miss" but what ever happened to attack the post and not the poster.

Sick of these "GTFO" responses and "ffs"

There's nothing indecent about swearing. You might want to sue for a change to the charter to outlaw swearing if you want to go down that path. Good luck getting support for that. Then you could try removing all porn from the internet.

It's understandable getting annoyed about these but I've come up with a new way to approach it.
