    Banned from the Car detailing forum for supposedly ignoring a warning when there was no warning on the thread:

    Guys, shed has been mentioned many times in this forum, and for good reason as this is a forum that use their products a lot.

    Let's stop the crap and focus on the products.

    No warning as you can see, followed by a good few posts. Were all the following members banned?

    He wrote again 2 hours later
    Ok back on track now folks

    Again, no warning of being banned etc. and three posts follow it.

    Then OSI posts
    Lads you were asked to leave it. McLove, take a 24 hour break for ignoring mod instruction.

    Why was I the only one being punished? Was the troll who obviously has a problem with the likes of Curran and Vectra punished also? He obviously has a problem with the way the forum is being run, and doesnt take advice from any other member well.

    Just think its a bit harsh considering I do contribute to that sub-forum more than the troll has done.

    At the very least if OSI or Biko were unhappy with my post that they could have edited it and give me a warning to not back-seat mod.

    There were two warnings issued to attempt to bring the thread back on topic, i.e., discussion of the products.

    Warning 1

    You then posted...

    Stop encouraging the troll - best not to reply to any of their posts so they dont get the satisfaction.

    Off-topic, back-seat modding, ignoring mod instruction - take your pick. All are applicable. You cannot say there were no warnings. You are here long enough to know to that you are responsible for your own actions & your comment above clearly crossed the line & the 1 day ban issued was appropriate.

    Ban upheld.
