Not questioning the whys and wherefores involved in Ratch,s ban, but why let him start a thread , which people may or not find interesting, and then put the block on him?. Or is that a technical/administrative issue?

I dont know why the Ratch was banned, when he started posting under the name of loki i thought you guys had let him come back thats all.

Maybe you should lock up his thread in the photo gallery.

You must admit some of his posts where amusing,as was his four pot turd :D

Agreed - some Mods have posted on his threads so it seems a bit bizarre that he's allowed on for a few days and then banned again? :?

Unfortunately only Admin have the ability to ban members.

I have posted on thread that Ratch was active on and I have also been in contact with him via PM trying to ascertain why he keeps coming back.

My personal view is that I know I can't personally ban him but I post on his threads to prove we know he is there and his time is limited.

it was posted by a mod at the weekend that the mods had changed tactics. this time instead of banning him you had collectively decided to let him get on with it and hope that he would see the error of his ways when everyone turned against him and he would leave here of his own free will when he realised he was not wanted.
realistically that was never going to happen though.
another change of heart then? i noticed the thread that this was posted on was cleaned up rather quickly afterwards.
in the grand scheme of things who really cares if hes here or not. im positively indifferent. :D

Obviously the concept of a ban is beyond your understanding.. He was banned, so therefore any subsequent accounts he has set up or will set up will be banned also :roll:

Thanks for your input.

As he was happily posting under a new name with Mods posting on his threads I assumed he was being given another crack of the whip.

Never mind... :banghead:
