there is logic on that JD but it'd be cooler if people just stopped whining or other posters told them to shut it ... this place used to self moderate quite well.
the 'us v the mods' mentality has totally destroyed that
What has happened to Brad ?

Agreed.
These threads are pretty pointless so maybe it should be closed so everyone can get back to enjoying the Caf.
that's in uruguay! i think
btw, i need pics, if you have, pm them to me, if you have
don¡t post them here, we dont want to derail this thread where regular posters acuse the mods and adminds of being shit
I'm not one for getting into petty squabbles about bannings, especially someone who I don't particularly like a whole lot, but that does seem a bit extreme. See worse a lot regularly
But you're the mod, so what I say don't matter one iota etc etc

The caf is reflecting society by turning into one giant episode of Big Brother.
It could be worse, I mean, there could be...er, I can't think of a way to finish this sentence
sadly true, i might log off for a bit
We did it people! It took longer than we anticipated, and Brad and PJ had to be sacrificed, but it was all worth it.
Now we can finally enjoy the Caf.
a few things, what you say, matters, if it didnt, why would an admin start a thread asking the posters what they think about the way the forum is ran?
about PJ, i'm sorry but insulting other member is a bannable offense -of course we see in wich context was said-, no matter if it's done in the general, the manchester united or the entertainment forum
and even if it mattered, this thread doesn't belong to the general, does it? it's a thread asking the mods why a poster was banned, so it should be in the Admin/Mod Help Forum
i really hope i had answer your question, and be sure that what we do is always to improve this forum, of course, we make mistakes, we are human
Yeah, true, is more of a admin/help thread. See where you're coming from, but I still thought it was a bit extreme
Thanks for the response though.
no prob mate
For the record and now that I recollect, I did comment on it at the time in the thread about SR, with:
"If I were Brad, Id shut my fecking mouth sharpish" (cant multiquote as the thread has been locked)
and anyway post 142 by GB of that thread makes it abundantly clear to anyone with a little bit of sense why SR was banned, which is what Brad kept continually questioning and I presume was the precursor to his ban.
PJ, I have genuine sympathy for.
PJ was getting a little bit big for his boots.
Ooh, did I just comment on someone when they were banned..

Just checked and it's still up there. I think we'll be alright.
That is what happens when the average age of posters plummets. They start crying about the world being unfair for the most minor of things.
Can't you just permaban him and be done with it? This is a torture.
I recommend that everyone listens to the Nome, the Nome knows the score (and its not often that I say that!)
Anyway I have faith that the Modulators will discuss and come to the rightful decision.
I think he is. Yet again. Unless we let him back. Again. With a final final final final warning. Although the odds of him being less Brad for long enough aren't good IMO.
I think you overstate PJs contribution to the forum.
Sums it up nicely.
the most vicious.... harshest banning I've ever witnessed and yet the moral outrage is 0.1 % of Brad and Scholseys.
There was moral outrage when Scholesy was banned? Are you sure you're not confusing moral outrage with some sort of impromptu street-party?

To be fair, most of the outrage was from Brad and he isn't here atm.
And the moral outrage from Brad's banning came from PJ, and look what happened to him. I wouldn't want to be the guy who rages out morally over PJ.
I nominate nimic to be the brave defender of Pj.
Surely the only man for the job....
What a guy!

I heard Boss has something very deep to say about the ban. I don't know any specifics, but I heard words like "travesty" and "Hitler".
It's just what I heard, though. Over the grapevine.

I'd imagine PJ has likely just been given a time out rather than a permanent ban.
Are you suggesting PJ's offense wasn't severe enough to warrant a permanent ban? Are you questioning the judgment of the mods and admins?
Alright Boss, you're off the hook.
Alright Boss, you're off the hook.
I'd be surprised if marcos had deemed that singular incident to be worthy of a permanent canning, unless there was previous I'm unaware of or he was on that oft discussed 'shit list', which with PJ I doubt. I suspect he was given a 5 point infraction which will give him a few days out. I hope so anyway.
According to PJ(On the Caf community on FB), he has been given a temp ban rather than a permanent ban.
PJ it's cool, no need to thank me..
all in a days work..

See 
When he keeps rein on his "outrage" or "drama queen" mode he's a very good poster but until/unless the Caff is run/modded the way he wants he'll never change.
Just how many chances to behave has he already had ?
Seems like I've actually missed something interesting on the caf, or is it? Well since the caf/other forum wars and the various caftard live meltdowns it seems so... hmmm, thinking about it the caf isn't as 'lively' as it used to be
Or maybe I'm on here less? or getting old?
[afro ponders for a while...]
BTW jdmufc (aka jdizzle) that gif doesn't do her any favours... looks like she has a fridge for a forehead...
[ponders for a while longer]
I think you should give bradders a bit of leeway, mad characters is one of the things I loved about the caf, too many have come and gone...

I like Brad but this is getting boring now.
Brad got boring about 2 years ago, around the time he had the piss ripped out of him for applying to be a mod....
Not that that had anything to do with anything, that was just a joke on his part, that no one else copped.
