This illustrates quite well my point about derailing the thread, accusations flying round because some members have met him outside of the forum. I'm hoping for clarity about the moderation but instead I look at the thread and it's the EP show. It's a pretty valiant effort at trying to wind people up I'll admit.

The contributions you're making in this thread aren't in good faith. I'll await more direction from staff instead.

Why are you looking for clarity about the moderation? Are you planning on being abusive and aggressive and want to see how far you can go with that?

Not a WUM in the slightest.

It's a fair question isn't it?

Why is there so much pearl clutching about due process? There are only a handful of people who have been banned on here, I don't think anyone has been banned multiple times who is still on here? Correct me if I'm wrong?

So why the desire to find out EXACTLY how the process works? How much someone can get away with? It's weird.

This got real weird.

FFS @Elephant Pyjamas, this is tiresome. Stan has just said he thinks Johnny is a prick online. Tons of other people have said the same and they don’t have the real life Johnny to go off.

You werent happy with your experience with him. Great, we get it. You aren’t changing their minds and everyone else likely agrees given the online persona. And if doesn’t actually matter now does it. Let it go.

I don’t think you are a WUM. But your persistence is winding me (and clearly others) up. Just stop because rightly or wrongly and regardless of how genuine you are about it, it isn’t playing well to the gallery.

Cuts both ways.

There's seemingly enough evidence/rumour to backup the decision against online Johnny and equally as much defence of in person Johnny.

Bizarre that there's apparently so much disparity between the two, which even his defenders acknowledge, but should be easy to divide the two. Act the cunt on here for long enough and find yourself kicked off, no complaints. Most of those that were fond of him seem to have other means of staying in touch with him so don't get why they're so bothered he's not allowed on here anymore, just txt him if you miss him.

Permaban here on this thread but one week for some of the most racist shit posted on here by Glasgow earlier.

Great standards were upholding.

 

[PuntsWolf]

No idea what was posted but if it is as bad as you say then a one week ban seems futile

"Will be discussed more but required some action in the meantime"

Must remember to not post using the invisible text function in the future.

At the moment 1 person in the mod team has put forward the perma ban option.
Put my opinion forward and will review when my actual job hasn't taken up most of my day.
Not sure about others but would like to shut my brain off at times on here and not have to deal with the shit..so can has been kicked down to road a bit.

It was racist, but the poster won't see it as such. Ignorance isn't a defence, but you aren't going to educate him either, no doubt it's a phrase that's widely used in his social circle

 

[Lycan]

It wasn't just the disgusting slur that was the problem. The scientific racism was far more disturbing, especially from a man who has freely and consistently aired racist, sexist and xenophobic views on this forum for over a decade.

This really shouldn't be a hard decision.

 

[Kenny]

Easy decision or not the week ban was done just to ensure something happened until it had been properly discussed.

Which it now has and the view points of those who have to make these crap calls has been shared.

Will make no apologies for making a snap call. Would have been a hundred times worse if we let it slide for 24+ hours.
