We normally ban users who spam the forums with commercials - usually they get warned and then banned on the second attempt.

Today, unfortunately, we've taken the step to ban two users due to persistent abuse of the moderation system - which allows you to leave comments.

We had put them in a user group which was disallowed to send negative reputations... however, they persisted and there is really not much I can do when grown men behave in a manner that defies basic decency.

So, if you've been banned .. you know why.

Keep up the good work! It's interesting to know why some users are banned.

[er2]

the nerd in me wonders how they were able to persist despite you blocked them from leaving negative feedback......

[KnowItAll]

Easy... leave positive feedback with nasty comments. Not a big secret.

Ah that explains the last one, I didn't understand the negative comment and the positive rating.

Well I've spotted one of them......

Some of us are not devious enough to think of that...

That would kind of defeat the purpose though wouldn't it? lol. Like a gift with a nasty message on the card.

[MovingIn07]

I wonder who they were?

KIA - So you're keeping an eye out for 1-2 unrepentant RED-rioters here...

The other day, got another red (turned grey*? ) ding for me "no satisfaction" comment on the "Bodybuilding" thread - my silly, though harmless, ATTEMPT at humour - totally lost on the dinger (Guess "irony" isn't his/her thang... lol)

Yeah, keep up the good work, making it LESS rage-free here.

*BTW, can someone explain why the negative rating was a grey, not red, block? How did they do that? (Just curious.)

I think we all know who - I don't think I would have tolerated the abuse for so long.
Glad you acted.
