Classifieds repost of a Facebook ad for a partscaster fake removed. I honestly can't believe that we still have to deal with this so often after 10 years of patiently explaining it to people.

flyingv now banned for the abusive PM I got in retaliation for the above. Yeesh.

For the avoidance of doubt, if anyone ever tells us to "shove your poxy forum up your arse" (or similar), we're highly likely to conclude that they no longer wish to continue using the forum, and will take steps to assist with that.

Brio’s Facebook thread removed because Facebook insists on displaying his personal email address.

@DB1 taking a (voluntary) break from the forum to chill for a bit.

@chrisv has decided to take his leave of the forum. Honestly, after today, I kinda feel his pain...

Eleven thread has been disappeared. Partly because of the idiotic comment that kicked it all off, partly because arguing about it instead of flagging it ended up completely ruining the thread, and mostly because of a productive conversation with the one who owns the magazine.

There's a lesson here for everybody.

Smellyfingers is in the cooler, because it's the second time he's gone too far (that we're aware of).

Roland · April 6

The “Never had a bad eBay sale” thread had been taken down whilst the moderators consider a complaint

digitalscream · April 9

Fingers657 in the cooler, for homophobic post followed up by the usual "Ban me if you must" "I don't give a shit about petty-minded people" response to a warning.

He does get points for the hilarious "I've had the most commented thread on here in ages" comment, though. I haven't had a variation on "Do you know who I am?" in years.

lewisanderson has left the building. On being cautioned for Classified content deletion his immediate response was to create a second user ID.

One thread removed from Friends in Need, at the OP's request. No further explanation necessary, and thanks to everyone who contributed support.

Roland · June 5

Kurtis is taking a week’s break in the cooler for overstepping the line on Rule 2.

Roland · June 14

Comments about the threat of violence, and subsequent name calling, have been removed from the John Gill/JXG Guitars thread.

Roland · July 8

Shrews is in the cooler for making a less than erudite personal attack on another member…. and please do learn how to “fucking” correctly.

Roland · July 8

@DVG’s account closed after it was hijacked and used in an attempted scam.

digitalscream · July 14

Gizmo has left the building, at his own request.

FastEddie has become the latest member of the loony bin (AKA "Trolls"), for posting racist nonsense and conspiracy theory rubbish, then abusing a modmin when told to stop.

I could've banned him, true, but it's honestly just funnier to put him in there.

EDIT: It was funny until I realised that the Trolls area still allows them to reply to PMs, and his were boring. Ergo, banned.

Derailing comments removed from the SVL '61 Strat in Daphne Blue sales thread. Also, as a result of admitting to lying when selling to other members, @Hullboy has lost access to the Classifieds. It’s one thing to focus on the positive selling points. It is not OK to attempt to mislead other members. This is a community, not a marketplace.

Roland · August 11

“Drugs” thread removed. The forum does not condone illegal activity.

Roland · August 29

Kipple is cooling off after breaking too many rules in one afternoon. Attempting to derail a For Sale thread (twice). Importing an argument from elsewhere (an eBay dispute). Ignoring moderator instruction to desist. Net result is a spell in the cooler.

Howdy, Stranger!
