No-one got banned for saying all scots should be banned at birth. Just like no-one gets their driving licence revoked for driving at 35 mph in a 30 zone. Do enough stupid things and get warned enough times and you get banned. Diestl had been warned by myself, Scotspine and Ferret about 3 separate things. We asked he just kept his head down and did not try and intentionally wind people up for a while. He did not so I banned him.

You will not see the posts in question as they were offensive and have been removed.

Blah... why let the truth get in the way of a good gossip

Can't see any specifics but it seems to be a herd mentality criteria for getting banned- i.e If enough of the crowd bleat for long enough then it happens.

Some get banned for saying "all scots should be drowned at birth", while others get away with suggesting genocide.

No rhyme or reason

HTH

It doesn't give examples just comments by other posters that dieslt was being an ass.

You could always read the thread

To its credit it managed to keep a fair amount of the crap in here. Apart from the other crap elsewhere

This thread? I did.

(BTW, at the time of writing, Dieslt is logged on).

Nice to see somebody else caught out by the "vBulletin developers are so dumb that search links aren't permanent links" trap

Will this link work: http://forums.contractoruk.com/searc...induser&u=1777

Or will that fail once a new user is created that comes before Diestl in the alphabet?

Does that mean we're stuck with that picture of Hugh Laurie in need of a shave for ever?

Not if you switch off avatars.

HTH.

Actually, wasn't it you that first pointed that out to me when I was caught out that way?

Maybe not - it might have been that Brownethingy chap. He's far too smart to be caught out by that kind of thing

[NickFitz]

OK, OK, what have I missed - yet again.

Can someone kindly give me a summation of what Dieslt was saying to posters?

(Thing is, I believe he used to be an 'ordinary' poster who used to post occasionally but just went off the rails).
