Member banned

[cdnmatt]

Ok, cool. Who got banned though?

Is it really that big of a secret? Who was it?

But he will still be as critical, disparaging and offensive as usual. That's his nature.

Perhaps Bob, but ... from the Board guidelines:

(B) What the Posting Guidelines CANNOT do:

"They cannot be used to protect individual Members from hurt feelings, getting upset, political incorrectness, rudeness, inappropriate and controversial commentary, their thread going-off-topic or such like. Sawatdee has a reputation for being an edgy message board: and to a reasonable degree we wish to keep it that way. Thus, if any of the problems outlined above bother you, then we suggest that you use the Ignore Feature."

Do you really think that anyone enjoys his comments? I'm aware that the posting guidelines would not rid the board of him. But it's a private organization, not subject to legal constraints. Owner can do what he wants. As I've said several times in the past. And several times in the past I've been reminded of the posting guidelines.

I do not expect him to be removed permanently unless he repeats his recent type of posts. Other board members have a greater ability than I do to tolerate him.

Any member posting something that even touches the well known laws of Thailand can expect similar consequences.

Does that include the laws on prostitution?

Heartening to see your now a legal expert, Len - as well as knowing every other fucking thing. How do you manage it I wonder

And incidentally, Moses, I didn't really want to know what ChristianPFC had said because I strongly suspect he said nothing at all, as (unlike some Head Judges) Christian has a sense of proportion, and doesn't have an ego the size of Jupiter (I don't mean the GoGo bar).
However, feel free to tell me I'm wrong.

Oh snap, was it latin that got banned? hahahaha....

Or am I wrong? Who was it? Help a blind guy out, and tell me, who was it that gor banned?

[scottish-guy]

Frequent

bOh, it was fequent? Can't say I like the guy, but will miss his smug, asshole, cynical outlook on life.

Could one of the Three Stooges(aka Moderators) confirm who they have banned. That would end the speculation and make it all seem a little more above board, and a little less like some overnight purge.

I'm hoping that it isn't a poster with whom one of the stooges has had a long standing beef.

and make it all seem a little more above board......

Read the rules.

Moderation and Sanctions

4.3 4.3 A Moderating action or decision may be clearly explained in red within the post or thread concerned. A reference to the rule that has been breached will be included. In the case of loss of posting privileges, the advice will be sent by PM; it will not be delivered publicly.

I'm hoping that it isn't a poster with whom one of the stooges has had a long standing beef.

What took you so long?

If you want to discuss the member in question, I suggest you ask the board owner to suspend the following rule:

4.4 After the explanation has been published or sent by PM, all communication with the member(s) being sanctioned will be by PM or email. There will be no public discussion

Well with regard to the specific law in question, everyone is an expert because everyone knows it. Don't they?

On a personal note I hope that you, like Hilary Clinton can one day get over being denied the job you felt was yours by right. The board sympathises with your disappointment and believes that you can find some comfort in remaining a worthwhile, albeit junior, member.
Please feel free to drop in any time you're passing.
