I think it's a game to some to see who they can get banned and then act all innocent asking where they are so they can have an 'inhouse' laugh about it. Poor Sulla was literally hounded out and they still take the piss out of him (I think they were male) even now which I thought talking about banned members was supposed to be against the rules.Yep, it's the Politics Forum that I found unbelievable. I once took Bangla to task but did it via a PM, and then he stopped hounding me. They just don't leave some people alone and ask where people have gone!
I once had a 24 hour ban. The email definitely came after more than 12 hours. I remember at the time being really shocked by the ban. I got a ban forI was just intrigued because I’d noticed there hadn’t seem to be any bannings on DS for a while and then saw your post about being a long time poster who was banned, and someone else has since replied saying they were banned too. I looked at the profile of the person who I suspect is a mod and they were last active today (prior to that, they were last active in October which made sense as to why the ban hammer had stopped hammering down so hard the last few months)
But the profile says they were last seen at 08:16 so the timing is just over 12 hours off (unless it takes 12 hours from the time of the ban to the time you get an email about it)
SULLA was one of my favourite posters. Then he vanished. He was a gentleman, didn't care if they tried to mock him as he could take as much as he got, and we sometimes had a little PM together, even if I just thanked him for something.I think it's a game to some to see who they can get banned and then act all innocent asking where they are so they can have an 'inhouse' laugh about it.

I've just got a permanent ban after being a member for nearly 15 years after a brief exchange with the charming BanglaRoad on the TalkRADIO thread - apparently it's trolling, being unconstructive and derailing a thread to point out that people have different opinions and you can only make an informed one yourself by hearing different points of views. That apparently is a ban worthy offence while telling someone to fuck off because you don't agree with them is perfectly acceptable. I think the only way to not get banned is to throw 'gammon', 'they know what they voted for' and 'all Brexiters and Tories are scum' into every post and you're fine.
I think annemarie1066 could be a contender for getting posters banned.Sadly there's a few like that who think they own the place. If you ever wanted to see a case of the lunatics taking over the asylum, the Politics forum would be a good place to start.
I don’t know who she is? Mind you, I rarely even log in there now so maybe it’s someone who’s come a long recently.There’s another very prominent member who causes trouble, rants if she doesn’t like your post, bleats to the mods and next thing you know, a warning or ban appears.
We all know who she is- if not, perhaps if I say narcissistic, fantasist, sordid sexploits, you will know who I mean. I think this poster was the ringleader, responsible for the bans.
Was she born in the 80s with a name that rhymes with Vanya?I think she joined last June . She dominates the politics and General discussion with her “ distinctive” style
I don’t know when and why they stopped but they used to display that they were a DS mod when shutting down threads or keeping them on track. But they were from their own accounts, not “Support”.I hate how you don’t know who the mods are. It’s a bit sinister really isn’t it? Like a secret society where no one knows what’s going on. I remember one time years ago now something went wrong with the forum and a different forum appeared that was obviously meant for the mods use only, everyone who was on DS at that time saw it and a thread was started in GD about it. Obviously that thread was then deleted, but clearly they have their own community where they talk about things. Probably other members. Why is it all so secretive?
I suspected that poster because when a massive cull took place, that poster would be one of the last to comment before it happened or one of the first to comment after it did.Taglet doesn't ring a bell to me, I don't know of that poster. The conversation that was quoted by the mods as the reason for my ban was with BanglaRoad.
They advertised for it on a thread. I’ll try and find it later.That’s what I have an issue with. Obviously all forums need moderation otherwise it would be a free for all, it’s the faceless aspect of it. Why the secrecy? And more to the point how do you even get chosen to be a mod there?
Banglaroad is a another vindictive arsehole who dominates the radio section especially the LBC chit chat thread and if you don't listen to the right radio station/presenter he takes great delight in calling you a fascist nazi gammon I would love to see him get his comeuppance one day.I've just got a permanent ban after being a member for nearly 15 years after a brief exchange with the charming BanglaRoad on the TalkRADIO thread - apparently it's trolling, being unconstructive and derailing a thread to point out that people have different opinions and you can only make an informed one yourself by hearing different points of views.

Some of those twats need to look up the meaning of fascist and bigot and then take a long look in the mirror.Banglaroad is a another vindictive arsehole who dominates the radio section especially the LBC chit chat thread and if you don't listen to the right radio station/presenter he takes great delight in calling you a fascist nazi gammon I would love to see him get his comeuppance one day.

Okay, so the post has been deleted now but I grabbed some of it:They advertised for it on a thread. I’ll try and find it later.
While looking for the above, I found this thread: https://forums.digitalspy.com/discu...ma-public-television-bans-gay-wedding-episodeI too think Taglet is a moderator. Too many times I saw a thread get culled and closed with people being banned right after she rocked up in it. It happened too many times for it to be a coincindence.
I find he usually accuses everyone of being a racist if you don't agree with him no matter what the topic of the thread is - Gammon is also one of his favourites. I thought he'd been quiet for a while but realised he spent most of his time on the LBC thread but seems to have drifted back towards the politics forum in the last few days.Banglaroad is a another vindictive arsehole who dominates the radio section especially the LBC chit chat thread and if you don't listen to the right radio station/presenter he takes great delight in calling you a fascist nazi gammon I would love to see him get his comeuppance one day.
There's quite a few lacking in self-awareness.Some of those twats need to look up the meaning of fascist and bigot and then take a long look in the mirror.
It probably is for the best but it's so annoying that they keep dishing out warnings and bans for minor things while the chosen few blatantly break all the forum rules, bait and troll while collectively belittling other forum members who dare to have their own mind and yet nothing is ever done to them so it would be nice to see some of them taken down a peg or two. If I'd have known I was getting a permanent ban, I would like to have at least gone out in a blaze of glory and told some home truths.I also post on the TalkRadio thread, some real odd people on there who have nothing positive to say about the station which makes me wonder why they bother commenting on it. Sorry to the poster who got a ban but possibly for the best.
That’s the one!Was she born in the 80s with a name that rhymes with Vanya?

It’s normal. If you make multiple posts and nobody posts in between your posts will be merged into one big post. If someone posts in between it will show up as a new post.Going off topic so derailing the thread (please feel free to report) - everytime I try to quote something and respond to a post, if I then respond to someone else, my post merges into one rather than separate ones - is that normal or am I doing something wrong?
