Hi,
ZFC has been in touch with me and asked me to ask why he has been banned from the forum?
I believe he's unable to pose the question due to the ban hence why I'm raising it.
Ta,
Ade

I saw Ian Wright on Top Gear repeats the other day. He was telling a story about his youth, being 5-up in a little car with distinctive smoke coming out of the windows, at 2am, with no tax, insurance or MOT, and him and his mates saying 'why are they picking on us' when the police started asking questions. Mr Wright told it brilliantly, I thought

Ta, Ade Probably because he uses an unofficial forum about a 5th tier football club as a vehicle to preach his hatred of muslims and love of some s**t Northern club full of foreign mercanaries.

Ta, Ade I think its a reasonable request, how can ZFC mend his ways ( ) if he doesnt know what he has done or said wrong? If this is not answered by the next home game then questions will be asked face to face.

You know, I really can't imagine why. Maybe it was something he said. Repeatedly, boringly and to the exclusion of anything else (including Rovers)

I think the mods were hoping against all evidence to the contrary that he might take the hint and put the soapbox away
But he didn't, because he's a bit of a nob

Shane has had numerous warnings about posting provocatie images As well as inappropriate posts and has barely used the Rovers forum to post about Rovers.
He only seemed to start a match thread after warned by Cheshire
Sorry but as mods we are fed up of his posts being reported and him ignoring the warnings and taking threads off topic with well you have all seen it
We have not wanted to ban anyone, but felt we had no choice.
Shane will be welcome back if he takes the warnings on board

The ban was implemented after multiple appeals to ZFC to refrain from posting off topic and contentious issues.
It is sadly the first banning made since the origins of this forum and was done only after repeated warnings to ZFC.

. . . and I would totally agree with you on that one, chewbacca. But surely the forum's rules should be applied equally to ALL members, and not just one of them? Just because someone has posted on here from the year dot, it surely doesn't mean that he should be allowed to spout unpleasant views on others, whilst either laughing up his sleeve or sulking, in equal measure. I've noticed quite a bit of ''cosying up'' to the moderators, and I must say that I'm not impressed by it.

I've noticed quite a bit of ''cosying up'' to the moderators, and I must say that I'm not impressed by it. I like to intefere as little as possible and dont generally mind strong view points. All the better to have a good debate and i certainly dont want to be a stickler for the rules. Shane though hasnt been using the forum for the main intended purpose, the discussion of Rovers and has insisted on posting questionable material. It hasnt needed reporting to be noticed as ZFC has done a good job of making it noticeable. He has been warned numerous times by Admin after discussion between the mods. By all means we can veer off topic, have a laugh and in my own view post whatever you want within reason. Sometimes we can all go over the top, maybe occasionally post something inappropriate, but ZFC has insisted on doing consistantly He has taken to posting the sort of stuff tbat was posted on current affairs that peed us off and transfered it to the Rovers section and it is peeing off the members who want to use the forum 'properly'

As has been stated this was a group (as in admin group) decision, and one we did not take until numerous chances were given to ZFC, but in the end it was one we had to take. This forum can only run with the help of it's members and I for one will always listen to the members and I know that goes for the rest of admin as well.

this is unusual - a football situation in which absolutely noone is criticising the refs

I only ask this in view of the first message which implies that he had not been told.

He has been warned about his actions numerous times in recent weeks. Whilst he may not have been told he has been banned specifically, i am sure he could work out why
