undelete member?

waddya think?

  • Yes - more lively banter is what this place needs

  • No - he's an insufferable troll

  • Don't care either way

  • What? Who?!


Results are only viewable after voting.
The way i look at this is simple. If someone has broken rules, thats one thing. If someone breaks the rules continually, and then creates multiple (multiple - not just one) new accounts to get around this... thats another thing altogether.
Oh and then uses the ban as a tool...

Its very rare (and thats thanks to everyone on here) that someone gets banned.

I only had one communication with Neil post the ban. It wasnt insulting, it wasnt protesting innocence.

I get the "if someone hasnt done anything illegal" approach - and i get that Neil did push the boundaries on occasion (and as i have said before I personaly have no issues with him)... However whats the point in having any rules if people continue to ignore them and they arent enforced?

And i am sure that Neil has an account on here as he cant keep away - possibly many.

So - Hello Neil :D
 
And yet they still continue to give out awards to people like Elton John 🤷‍♂️
Elton's a valid member of the community only last week I had a conversation on here with him about how he wrote the classic goodbye yellow brick road and tweaked it when Diana passed, we talked in detail about his shiny balls
 
Such a shame the 'community vote' doesn't really mean anything. Lots of time has passed and I'm a huge fan of Neil, but rules is rules I guess.
 
Its worth noting the community here are ace, like punters in a bar. Great banter which I love. I've run a bar for 20 years, love the late night banter and shenanigans, lockins etc...we've had punters that other punters like, friendly, buying rounds at the bar etc, but behind the scenes grabbing bar girls ****s. The staff (in this case mods) step in, one warning, 2 warnings, but still the **** grabbing continues...its not down to the happy punters being bought drinks to make the decision if the guy gets barred or for how long.
 
Given what he’s done for pinball in the UK, it’s a shame Neil can’t take part here, amongst the trolling there was always a lot of useful insight and experience

Most sites stick to serious illegal activity being the permanent ban criteria, because that’s then defensible if legal action happens

Such a shame the 'community vote' doesn't really mean anything. Lots of time has passed and I'm a huge fan of Neil, but rules is rules I guess.

As with anything, the rules are at the discretion of the site owner and clearly state this isn’t a democracy, and as per the rules we’re not allowed to question or discuss why, so I guess we’d best shut up ;)
 
Its all very well having this conversation but does he even want to return? Last I heard this forum was pathetic and we were all ‘bozo’s’ 🤦🏼‍♂️
