User bloodeagle has left the forum.

He has way too much money to want to mix with the commonfolk.

Bit of an odd one this ...

Sometime around the end of last year (ie Christmas-ish time), @mgaw was coolered.  I completely hold my hands up  and admit that I forgot to then let him out of the cooler.

He didn't hassle me - for which I'm grateful - but then just set up a second ID (interstellar) which we all know is a complete no-no here.

The Interstellar ID was only recently brought to my attention.

On the one hand, multiple IDs here are a no-no.
On the other hand, I see it as my fault that the second ID was created.

With the wisdom of @digitalscream thrown in, we've taken mgaw out of the cooler (deeply frozen by now) and wrapped him in one of those special foil recovery blankets.  Interstellar will remain banned. 

There's no way that we can combine the posts of the two IDs.

And that's a solution that Mr mgaw has confirmed he's happy with.

Deleted a classifieds feedback thread at the request of the starter, since it was just a miscommunication.

It's good to talk.

peachguitars have left the forum.

Unfortunately, the fuckwit/s who precipitated John's decision to leave haven't left.

TTony

We don't generally allow userID changes, and that policy hasn't changed.

However, peter1 has become PeterOne.

Not least so that peteri didn't have to become PeterEye.

(ie the change was approved on the grounds of avoiding confusion between peter1 and peteri).

Exiled a thread I can't specify, because of a request from someone I can't name in that it's a surprise for somebody I don't know.

I love my job.

TTony

brooom has become xbrooom (his request after some trouble understanding Classifieds etiquette).

Fill in your own punchline ...

• brooom swept away
• this Triggers not coming back with a new handle
• vrooom vrooom brooom
• etc

Deleted a bunch of speculative posts in the super-injunction thread in BCD, and posted a warning to everyone who's thinking about the same.

digitalscream

Two threads disappeared over the super-injunction issue that's going on at the moment. For an explanation, see here:

TTony

TheBigH  banned for being the same person as other persons, also banned (Spenietele, et al).

Roland

-NFM- and StratocasterDisaster have left for the same reason

digitalscream

Teresa banned because I don't want women here.

Oh wait, no. It's because she was also richardsguitars and richard.

Poopot is on a break for a week, having broken a few rules (specifically the "no personal attacks", "don't take a personal beef public" and "don't let disagreements spill out into other threads" ones).

Clean slate when he's back, and let's all move on.

Apologies for the lack of humour, I'm sleep-deprived. I'll try to do better next time.

digitalscream

Poopot's out of the cooler, and BloodEagle's back after a display of penitence and a review by the modmins.

Let's all play nice

Roland

PeckhamGuitars has joined the forum with a flurry of For Sale threads. These have been removed until he has had time to read the rules and understand how traders can sensibly contribute to the forum.

Bridgehouse

Fortheloveofguitar is in the cooler for a week
and Fendergibson is in the cooler for a week and is on a final warning.

Since becoming a modmin I’ve come to realise the modmin team are a laid back bunch. I’ve been struggling to understand what it is someone needs to do to incur their wrath. Apparently:

1. Having a personal spat and trading insults in a sensitive thread that resulted from a closed thread despite warnings
2. After said warnings continued to trade insults and derail the thread resulting in a closure to weed out the comments before reopening
3. After reopening the thread continuing to post off topic and snide comments relating to aforementioned spat
4. Trying to continue said spat via PM - but attempting to use a modmin as your intermediary

Is enough to get their goat up and incur their wrath. 

Also, it would seem that taking your spat from one thread and posting in the other members For Sale thread about it - and making some pretty ropey insinuations including advising people to not buy from them is enough to get you a final warning. Which is fair enough. 

Take heed everyone - I am now in the know and have exercised my Cooler Keys. 

Jalapeno

The Eggman/Walrus banned for duplicate IP Addresses/Sock Puppet behaviour

digitalscream

TheBlueWolf's account disabled at his request.

Bridgehouse

Fortheloveofguitar and Fendergibson are out of the cooler. 

Whilst I was in there I replaced the stock of baseballs as the old ones were looking a bit worn out. 

digitalscream

Dogstar banned for legal threats against the forum in his very first post on here.

He might have two masters degrees, but he certainly can't read rules.
