OxonGas not getting a train set for his 7th birthday has obviously impinged his ability to understand banter, as a result I've had a private message saying I'm one post away from being banned. This clearly isn't the place for me so I'm leaving before I'm pushed.
Here's to three points tomorrow, promotion and good health to you all  |

Here's to three points tomorrow, promotion and good health to you all I certainly don't get your "banter" but I think it is well out of order threatening you with being banned. OxonGas can you please confirm that this is true? All the best. |

Totally agree if even if it a one sided view of events, is it ok if I post all messages with relies? UTG have a great day out tomorrow, sorry but will be in South Wales visiting my father who is in hospital.

Look folks, if you are unhappy with what I have done I am quite happy to stand down. I honestly thought when we moved to this forum we had a chance to join all fans together but that has not happened. I / we do not like deleting posts but the constant what are you eating Stu posts just clog up the site. The poster has been warned on many other occasions about harassment to other posters. Going to leave it there as it's been a bit of a bad day, but I do take admin responsibilities seriously not just on this forum. Anyway more important things, Go for it tomorrow so wish I could be there UTG.

your job isn't to be popular IMO oxon. This board has smashed it in terms of moderation so far, and I haven't seen any signs of anything slipping. Please keep up the good work for the benefit of all of us

Yep, completely agree, sometimes you just have to maintain standards and some posts have been bizarre to say the least, banter is one thing but nonsensical posts that are nothing to do with Rovers are quite another.
Hang on in there Oxon, keep up your spirit on your visit to South Wales tomorrow and keep on successfully administrating the forum as you have done so far up to now.

Well done Oxon.
It's not like this is a "first offence".
The OP has a fair amount of form in pushing the forum rules then crying "not fair' when called out.
BTW: Set this topic to fall as it will only serve to feed the ego of some.

Here's to three points tomorrow, promotion and good health to you all I certainly don't get your "banter" but I think it is well out of order threatening you with being banned. OxonGas can you please confirm that this is true? All the best. It's just upholding some basic principles. 1. Play the ball and not the man. Threads and posts targeted at individual posters are generally not constructive and normally degenerate into needless abuse and slanging matches. 2. Don't spam up the board with pointless threads. All Oxon (and in fact any of us) is doing is trying to ensure the message board works in a constructive way; most of the time it manages itself. But it can only do that if people stick to some basic rules and they are 2 of the most important. The problem with this particular 'banter' is that it is imposed on people whether they want it or not and with no constructive purpose. If that becomes the vast bulk of someone's contributions and they take up half the board doing it then, yes, they will be warned particularly if they have done the same thing before. |

Here's to three points tomorrow, promotion and good health to you all Toodle pip, old bean, and good health to you too but I think you need to learn the meaning of banter and if you're going to have it you need to engage with the person you're having banter with not just post threads on here about that person, it's completely meaningless otherwise because no one has a clue what you're on about, just saying like...... Ps....and trying to ridicule one of the forum admin doesn't work either, now play nicely young man and learn from from an old git like me |

Other than the horrible trolling of Angas a while ago I really cant see what Kingswood has done that others haven't. It's only words on the internet FFS, cant we all man up a bit?

Rex, that is the point as far as I am concerned he was warned about before about trolling and now he is at it again.

Well I seem to be in the minority, so you do whatever you feel appropriate, but FWIW, how I was brought up, and from where I'm from, if someone was talking like a fool, you just tell them to stop talking like a fool, you don't actually ban them from talking. |

'Words on the internet' that some of us put a reasonable amount of effort into trying to ensure produce a constructive community for discussion. That is the point. It only works if people generally stick to some basic principles; KG consistently isn't now, doesn't generally and hasn't in the past and we've all pretty much had enough of it. |

Firstly, he hasn't actually been banned he has been warned as you suggested and is fully entitled to post provided he sticks to the rules. Secondly, it's not the first time he's been warned and continued to behave like this. Thirdly, posters who behave like he does make most admins want to chuck it in and say to hell with it frankly. It's not like we go around banning people at the drop of a hat but patience has been exhausted here. |

Just for the record in KG's own words he has not been banned but warned about his future behaviour and will be if he doesn't comply. I don't like the banning of people either but unless we agree to self police our own behaviour then to make this forum work others have to police it for us, it's a real shame but some people just don't appear to be able to control themselves. |

Just for the record, I don't think he has said anything that deserves a banning threat, but as I said previously, if the admin want to do that, it's up to them. |

I an relatively new to all this but have supported Rovers for 45 years so feel qualified to at least comment.
I don't have time to go through all Kingswoods history, because I do have a life. I have however liked much of his comment in the recent past and feel he is a valued contributor.
Nothing makes you a bigger man than apologising, even when you don't feel in the wrong. I would very much like you to continue as I suspect would many others so please don't go but recognise what the moderators highlight?
Come on, you know you want to.
