Ive never been banned/suspended but from what I see the admins do a good job on here. They do whats best for their site...

So this is basically a plea to get somebody banned? Poor.

Ive never been banned and dont plan on it. Its very easy.

No it's more a post about peoples thoughts on the process. It is a forum after all. And having lost a few united posters on here because of complaints from other fans it's a valid point to query.

As for my complaint, clearly the decision not to ban them has been made and I respect that. But people have been banned for less than blatant racist remarks.

Why was bubbly banned?

At the end of the day, you're a guest on the Admins site and you respect their rules. You don't get to dictate who they ban or not, it's entirely up to them.

Not sure. Its almost always WUMS who are banned anyway. I dont see the harm as they dont bring anything to the table other than fuel for other WUMS and self pleasure.

Don't post libellous, racist and general bad taste comments then you won't get banned. Simples.

Frequent offender or not if you make certain comments then you should be gone and deserve to be. If I posted a comment on here now about Cole being a certain desert from the freezer section then I would expect to be banned and possibly worse considering what's happening to the tweeter in Derby.

like i say, i deserved my ban and took it and i don't complain generally but yesterday the comment was ridiculous.

I don't know why you were banned carrickature but I seemed to remember at the time you were getting a lot of peoples goat.

I was banned, rightly, for comments about a certain London blue club and their captain. basically wishing an injury on him. very stupid and i was prone to being a bit loose with my comments back then. am reformed now.

the comment yesterday was basically having a go at Rio then calling him another dessert from the freezer section.

NWO? don't remember them. Some posters deserve it and some seem to skate on thin ice but never fall through - Boris

i agree and disagree.

i got banned for verbaly abusing a scouser after he insulted me, i get banned, he doesnt.
i was a tad p i s s e d off, not because i was banned but because of double standards.

i think the admins do a good job, but at times they are a bit power crazy.

Agree. I totally agree with my ban but fail to understand how others avoid it. having said that the united board is quite lenient. you go on other boards and they will complain about anything. I suppose if you get more than one complaint that could be curtains.

It appears a ban is imposed not because of the content of the post, but rather based on the number of people who complain. There is a lack of consistency and, I have to say, it's becoming frustrating.
At least when BBC606 banned you, it was done objectively and not due to giving into the mob. Bad precedent!

To be honest I've never complained against or filtered anyone.

I've never really come across anyone who would give me reason to, sure I've disagreed with people, but at the end of the day I'd rather debate, than everyone agree.

Here is the comment carrickature referrers to, posted by Mr Chelsea and now moderator deleted.

"He's a Magnum. Caramel. Limited Edition. Oh god I'm going to prison "

Here is carrickatures complaint...
"this user created the article and over the last couple of weeks has been treading a thin line re his comments and racism. this comment is too much tho and i take great offence to it. it's not a laughing matter and I was banned from the whole site for two months for much less. To be honest I have had enough of his constant comments about it and this today is blatant racism instigated by his evidenced dislike for a certain player"

Here is the comment that got carrickture banned:
"a good result tonight would be lots of rain, bayern one up with seconds left and terry barking orders from the sideline. fat frank hits a shot that goes in to the side netting but half the ground including terry think its in. frank goes down in agony having torn his hamstring following through on his shot and terry slips on the wet grass celebrating a goal that never was, breaking both his legs in the process. Bayern win the cup, terry and frank don';t go to the euros and terry goes to prison for racial abuse, where without the use of his legs,he gets rogered senseless."

Here we have an article posted by a Utd fan

This time not about deserts but chocolate bars this time. Where someone classifies themselves as a milky bar. It appears that for the last few days discussion relating to whether confectionery (frozen or not is racist) is a hot topic on here. We have tried to moderate this as sensibly and objectively as possible without banning half the site.

If people are unhappy with this or how we run this site, please do the right thing and vote with your feet. We are also content to perform full account closures and those that wish to do so can email.
