View Full Version : Have I been banned????



November 2nd, 2008, 19:44
As I am about to post to ES, in a turn which some will see as even better than my being on "ignore" to those not logged in, my posts on the Which Insect Repellent thread (and possibly others) appear as blank spaces hence I am repeating them here and adding another reply:


What is a substitute for DEET?

I have posted on this at length on http://www.sawatdee-gay-thailand.com/forum/getting-serious-about-mosquitoes-t15398-15.html and

[link to thread on this board deleted because it was inexplicably causing board errors....?????-ES]

so check there if you need more information.

"Off", readily available at around 115 baht for a 6oz/170ml, 15% DEET strength, spray can, is generally quite adequate as already mentioned.

[quoe="ChrisUK"]Additionally, I use soap and shampoo containing a citrus fragrance, which I believe helps to deter mosquitoes.[/quote]

Only marginally; mosquitoes are attracted by carbon dioxide (exhaled breath).

What the post should have said was:

After trying to post a reply on thread concerning mosquito repellent and it appearing blank I checked my previous post on the same thread - now also blank. The detail does appear, however, in the box when I attemp to edit it and in the "announcements" box on the forum home page, so it may be a technical glitch (again, in my case).

I have also tried to post under this name on the Gay Thailand forum and been unable to do so as I get automatically logged out.

I had previously tried to send a PM to Khor tose, concerning Latin, and have no idea if it has been sent properly.

Have I been banned?

If so, my last "controversial" post was pointing out Catawumpuscat's stupidity in posting about murders, totally incorrectly, again, before checking his facts - have I been banned for saying, slightly more politely, that he was an utter fucking idiot for doing so?

If not, what is going on???

For Some Reason the link that was here is what was messing things up and I don't know why-ES

so check there if you need more information.

FYI & FWIW, Gon Fishing's opening post in this thread *is* there, kind of... I started this post by clicking the "quote" button on his opening post and you can see it showed up in the message body of this post.

My previous "invisible" post in this thread was created by pressing the "quote" button in Gone Fishing's opening post. His post showed up in the "Message body" as a properly [quote]'d item, but once submitted, my post ... in its entirety ... was invisible.

Tried it myself and got the same reults. My baht is on it being part of the same strange glitch that's causing people to show as ignored to those not signed in.

Personally, although I only have one or two on my ignore list (usually just as a way of giving them a "time out" for a few days) I've been skipping over the extended rebuttals and quoting from GF for some time now. Life's too short to invest time in such pissing contests! :cheers:

Okay, I'm not getting the same behavior described above when I use the quote function, so I'm not sure what the problem is, but it is a technical one and not a political one.

If you were banned, you wouldn't have been able to post this thread.

such hostility.. what a nasty piece of work gf is.

Fact check: Murders did occur and one was a boy from A-Bomb and the other
his customer, (granted not a Western=farang, but an Asian man.)

Fact check: gf way over the top with his bitching. I am not writing for the London Times
or the NY Times and reported on a story that I had heard that nite. It turns out the murders did occur and both men were stabbed to death and the police have been out in force looking for
others involved.. sgf's comment stating I was "totally incorrect" is pure bullshit and a twisting of the truth by a lowlife with an agenda. I do attract the scum of the earth for some reason..

Fact check: If overreacting and freaking out over my postings was a reason to get banned,
there are several posters out there who would be long gone but alas, I don't have that power.

Fact check: still gone fishing makes the ignore list and will be permanently on it. :cat:

GF - Just a thought - have you installed IE8?

I have and been seeing a few issues on a vbulletin forum with quote feature. I know this one is phpbb.

The problem is caused by the inclusion of the url for the following thread
http://www.sawatdee-gay-thailand.com/fo ... 16033.html (http://www.sawatdee-gay-thailand.com/forum/malarone-t16033.html)

Trying to access that link stand alone mode gives


phpBB : Critical Error

Error removing user session

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 2006 MySQL server has gone away

DELETE FROM phpbb_sessions WHERE session_id = '26718c34d2207ad96e2913bccafa1baa' AND session_user_id = 535

Line : 528
File : sessions.php

Which does not look very nice

This looked similar to the report we were getting with spell check.

The original GF post has two "quote" errors - mispelt once and also unbalanced with "/quote". Good going for someone who frequently accuses others of error whether they have erred or not.

Quoting the opening post and deleting that url *does* fix the problem.

OK, It does make those previously invisible posts reappear when I delete the link to the Malrone thread, and yet I am able to link to it either wih or without adding the [ url ] BB code tags, and also with or without quoting the link. In none of these cases does it reproduce that behavior of making the post invisible, but it does make the link inactive if I quote it without adding the [ url ] BB code.

I'm not sure what the reason is.

Just FYI Fearless Leader, but I've been unable to access the Board from about 9AM this morning, then again still at 4PM. Now it is 5:10PM and finally able to get on and post without going into disconnect.

Was that you fiddling with the Board innards? This happened on two different internet cafes.
All seem well now however.

Cheers ...

This happened on two different internet cafes.I trust you provided a full set of identification documents

November 3rd, 2008, 21:38
I'm not sure what the reason is.

Neither am I, ES, but Fattman's suggestion in the Posting Guidelines section solved the problem - worth noting when it happens to the next poster (Homi, if it follows the course of the previous problem, but I doubt if we could be that lucky!).

VMT to all for their suggestions.

Resurgam! Recedite, plebes! Gero rem imperialem!

Hey GF, how would one say in latin "I'm disappointed that the answer is no?"
