I work in Commercial Finance and have worked for some of the biggest digital and publishing based brands out there. I don't know what your background is and this isn't a dick swinging contest, but don't try to infer that I'm stupid.

And no this isn't me arguing with you. I'm just asking you to consider a wider view outside your own narrow opinion.

You see stupid, I see opportunity.

There are many past posters who received bans that are sorely missed. Could we not have a unmoderated forum for them which non-banned members can view but not post in? It would be interesting to compare the level of discussion in there to what we have presently. It could be a great social experiment.

Who would you want back? All of them were banned for good reason and some of them given enough warnings probably. I wouldn’t mind Ciderman and weaste back but that’s about it. Why was Ciderman banned again? @Damien.

Randall Flag got banned last year and I wanted him back till I heard he was making racist comments.

I'm not saying I'd want them back otherwise I'd have mentioned an amnesty or banned user referenda. Just to make it clear, this would be the caf equivalent of hell and not purgatory.

Think it was one of Olly's in the tinder thread, would have been posted just before I made this post



I found it
Hmm, that post isn't triggering the error for me. If it happens again please let me know and which post you were quoting.

I've just tried to quote your post and it's done the same thing. Think it's something to do with my account rather than the post itself.

Try logging out and in again and see if that makes any difference.

Why am I threadband from the cop thread? Nothing I said was bad. I even said I didnt agree with the comments the person said. I just provided context for why the person might have said them.
The last page and a half of that thread after you posted your “understanding” for people heckling a dead rookie cop wasn’t going anywhere good, and I saw the post you’ve now deleted before you rethought it. Hence, the thread ban.

I didnt say anything bad.

You, using your moderator powers, saw a post i deleted 30 seconds after posting it because I realized I misunderstood skizzos previous post. So no one saw me say "feck off" except you and I.

So you've thread banned me not for breaking any rules or offending anyone but because you disagree with my point of view in that thread. The topic is cops in America doing a bad job. My posts were 100% on topic, discussing the context of cops in America doing a bad job in that specific community in that specific past.

You need a cool off in that thread. Period.

I don’t once expect you to agree with it, but it is what it is. Nothing good was ever going to come from you expressing “understanding” for the heckling of a murdered cop.

Why do I need a cool off? I've broken no rules. If someone is going to react badly to me providing context for why Sacramento residents hate the police then deal with them when it happens. I've not broken any rules.

It's also bizarre that you think this was going to spiral out of control. The conversation was over. I let skizzo have the last word. He lives in northern California and is a cop so if he kept his cool then I doubt anyone else would have a problem doing so.

Providing context and wumming look very similar in your last several posts in that thread.

Wumming? Are you joking?

*Eboue posts 400 times about how he doesnt trust cops and lists examples of their brutality*

fine. normal.

*Eboue posts 7 more times about how he doesnt trust cops and lists example of their brutality*

this looks like wumming to me

first reason: "wasnt going anywhere good"
second reason: "needed a cool off"
third reason: "wumming"


you cant even make your mind up on why you band me. look, just unband me. you dont even have to admit you are wrong. you can delete this whole exchange and we can both promise never to mention it again

Cop gets brutally murdered and you post your understanding for the dead officer being heckled.

I’d hope all you were doing there is wumming.

its not my understanding, as ive stated. its my understanding for why the people who live daily under the oppression of police might feel that way. i stated several times that i didnt feel that way. if you wanted to have this conversation, you should have quoted me in the thread. ive broken no rules and shouldnt be threadband

Instead of saying "Banned" anymore, it says "New Member" under the name of previously banned posters. Is it supposed to be like that?

What do you mean? You can remove the podcast notice at the top by pressing the 'x' at the right of it.
Yea but is it saved for the future? Asking because, if i open it on my shitty lap, its freezing whole thing, doubt issue is on CAF ends, more like its my lap but with cursory lagging and spiking, clicking on that X i make it look like E-sports event.
