Got his name changed to A Brad I think, Still posts around in the United section.
there's a united section? cool.
he's now called "Brad"
i think you missed my subtle gag.
Ok fine, The Manchester United Forum.
He met Redbunny, got married, threw out the computer, and lived happily ever after.
...for 15minutes before rb stabbed him in the upper torso 56 times and feverishly drank the blood from his gaping wounds.
He's just being typical Brad.
I post about 1000 a month and still people complain I'm not around enough, jeeze...
glad you're still around Brad - what favour did you do to get you're name changed
PS how the feck should I know you had your genitals altered ? I'm not around enough to learn all the ins and outs ffs
He seems to think he has been banned yet it doesnt say 'Banned' as his tagline?
If he has, then is it temp or perm? and what is the reason?
I need to know as we are supposed to have a Caf Poker Tourney tonight at 8:30pm and usually he sorts it all (if anyone new wants to join in then sign in on the poker thread)
TIA for the info

Ok so a final decision is pending - fair enough.
I actually thought he had been on pretty good bevahiour lately so it would be a bit shit if he went permanently for some minor infraction
We all know Brad can be a bit OTT but I reckon the forum would be a poorer place without his Drama Queen antics !

A poorer place without him, agreed.
A poorer place without his Drama Queens antics? Very much disagree.
Unfortunately the two go hand in hand most of the time.
Who gives a feck?!!!
He ate a cucumber and that was that.
Why has Brad been banned?
It's been addressed five posts above...
Why do people who don't read sign up to forums?
14 pages by tomorrow.
It's pretty incredible really. In a thread updated about Brad, and Brad being banned, you would think to read the most recent posts before asking a question that common sense would tell you has surely been asked already.
So what are you saying, that he was banned because he can't read?
Poor effort Rood. If you were banned, I'm sure Brad would have fought for you much harder.
Where has anyone said that?
What I'm saying is you should have read the thread before you posted a question, it was answered a few posts above.
What a mad bump!
I know... I was joking...
My mistake, I can't read.
Yes, 2 new rules, non readers and supercilious twats are on the way out. So warn any you know.
Well personally I actually find his Drama Queen antics quite amusing - but a poorer place without him was my main point and we agree on it so lets focus on that
Well as I understand it he is not definitely banned as yet so I am assuming that the powers that be will see sense and reinstate him until he does something that is ban worthy.
So, the great plan to improve these forums is to ban it's best posters now?
It's so crazy it might just work......

I guess we'll find out when they start.
It's a shame he's gone and all because of an infraction. As has already said he brings a lot to the board, yes he has drama but so do plenty of other posters. If I understand rightly some of his infractions have been for swearing at mods, which I think is harsh...
I had an incident on my first day here in the newbies where all I did was create a thread in the general that could have gone in the FF or the general, I then decided to move it to the FF instead, I didn't know how to delete a thread so I wrote in it 'posted in wrong section, have moved this to the FF' and I got infracted from GB for general muppetry, I didn't know him at this point and asked him why, things got a bit heated I got back PMs accusing me of knowing what I was doing, of being on the WUM, he was swearing at me and getting really aggressive, I don't know if GB has the pms still and if he does and what I'm about to say is wrong then I'll immediately apologise and retract it but if memory serves me one went along the lines of 'listen you fecking something or other if you want angry I'll fecking give you angry' (again if that's wrong I'll apologise immediately and retract it as I'm working from memory here) I responded in kind and then it dissipated. He made a thread in the general asking if anyone wanted to e-fight as he was wound up bad. It blew over. I didn't ask for anyone to punish GB for calling me names.
Since then I've grown to respect GB and like him as a poster and have no issues with him at all and haven't had a run in with anyone, was annoyed I was infracted over the smallest of things and was pissed off at the way I was spoken to, although admittedly I responded back just as hard but I just took it like that and moved on. I didn't seek out anyone to go and punish GB for it, and now I've moved on and I like him, that's the only incident I've ever had, it was for hardly anything and these sort of things can have a hand in someones perma ban. Yes he's probably been infracted for some more serious shit, but without the silly ones that are handed out willy nilly for seemingly nothing, he wouldn't be close to the danger zone in the first place.
So to hear someone infracted for calling someone a cnut or swearing at someone who has an infract button, where people get called cnuts, spastics, retards on a regular basis in the FF is sad to hear, especially when it can lead to the perma ban of someone. The moral of my story is I just manned up, if someone tells you to feck off, tell them to feck off back. There are instances where mods piss posters off regularly but nobody asks for them to be punished we just get on with it and forget about it and it's all blown over the next day.

He isn't actually gone.
Really?
Writing that 17 minute love song seems a bit of a waste now. Well, as much of a waste as ever writing an awesome, 17 minute love song can be.

Im a big fan of mad bumps
Out of curiosity, what will the review involve?
Nobody goes for 'an' infraction as far as I know. And Brad wouldn't like any concessions to be made on account of the good he brings to the board. He likes the rules to be clear and universal.
But the rest of my post should show my point, that some infractions are given out for next to nothing, and they had a hand in his perma ban. If these infractions weren't given out in the first place then his latest one would not have perma banned him.
