DrCornelius on a break at his own behest (I think he's trying to avoid the classifieds...).

Bridgehouse

In these trying times it’s important that we take the right decisions at the right time. 

The threat of trolling is real, and we all need to ensure we keep our distance and stay safe. 

We have, today, made the decision to put Jock68 in the Troll Bin. We will review this after three weeks. 

Remember: Stay on topic, protect the forum, don’t troll

stevie_the_spy banned for trying to sell a Bravewood with a Fender logo, claiming a lack of awareness of the rule, then persisting in trying to sell it by PM...but he replied to the PM by email instead of within the site, which meant it came to me.

There are several morals to this story, but seriously people....which part of "******* DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL *******" don't people get?

digitalscream

Beats_Sixties banned for also being stevie_the_spy, who'd just finished telling me by email that the forum was "going steadily downhill" and "if I'm banned I'm banned, please yourself".

He's a complicated chap.

GoldenEraGuitars has left the site, at his own request. A shame, and more so that some people just can't let it go.

Bridgehouse

Necro-bump thread closed as it was clearly a spill over from a recent classifieds "discussion"

Opportune time to remind everyone that arguments, disagreements, fallings out and other such things should not spill over from one thread to another. It's bad form.

Given the current situation I know everyone is a bit tetchy etc. but my suggestion would be to calm down, and step away from the keyboard for a bit.

Qwertymatt has left the building. When asked to cool his behaviour he offered to take the argument into the car park. The landlord does not take kindly to such behaviour.

There are many ways to break rule 1. Here are four examples: you can troll threads, insult other members, ignore written warnings, and openly challenge the moderators. For his hard work in illustrating these examples Capo4th has been awarded a spell in the cooler.

Bridgehouse

Stimpsonslostson is on a break at his own request. 

Personally I think this is taking social distancing too far...

Bridgehouse

Strangefan is on a break, at his own request. He will be back, but wants some time out, which is fair enough. 

Bridgehouse

Jellybelly is on a break at their own request. 

I’m sensing a pattern here...

Bridgehouse

Ok, Budgie is in a break at his own request.

Common theme? The nasty side of the forum getting more prevalent. Perhaps calm it down a bit?

Bridgehouse

@Strangefan is back. Apparently he’s found his mojo again. It was under the sofa next to a 2p coin and a copy of Kerrang! from 1987

Roland

@Blaendulais is enjoying a week in the cooler for breaking rules:
1. Being a dick
2. Aggressive behaviour to other members.
5. Advocating an illegal activity, especially one liable to kill or wound members of the public.

The New Scooter thread, which was the cause of all this, remains closed.

...aaaaand Budgie's back in the room.

We're addictive, it seems.

digitalscream

JustMe banned at his own request, because he apparently can't stand the idea of being on a forum where he can't crap on For Sale threads.

User BillKat is now Corvus, and has also been made a tFB Trader (go and buy one of his guitars!), and maxrossell has finally passed his citizenship test to become Tex Mexico.
