You probably would have still got a cooling off period and come back at some point but your just being an utter idiot now, it is not worth it at all and you should have a think why you get banned from so many forums - not funny, not worth it and pointless.

You and two others are ruining the forums for others and causing them to snap at each other which is uncalled for so your not only being an idiot your spoiling it for others, you were/are a nice chap normally your in France probably a bit bored but what you been doing of late was not the right way to be of doing it really

I have to add sorry to some for snapping, and others have snapped back in error in some threads recently as well and it is becuase of these guys

I have had a few weeks of 3-4 people basically forum bullying me and they doing it to 3-4 others as well as general nick picking and stabbing which IS nothing more then deliberate acts, I am not well with my NINTH operation monday so probably a bit more stressed then others anyway but have snapped a few times but with pms of ..

"your a twat"
"your an idiot"
"are you gay" etc from more then one person you would two but its not great that others snapping between themselves as well

1 is banned and being an even more of an idiot and a 2 others are close, rest of us ME INCLUDED should not stoop so low and try and ignore them, at least 1 may be banned soon anyway if he keeps it up which would be sad but hey if people want to be twats let them

Anyway sorry for snapping a bit in other threads and I hope others will sort things out and apologise for snapping at each other as well and lets move on

Mods are modding, they not really doing any power trip or anything because you can see how others have got tetchy with each other for no reason because said few folk are causing such things to happen on the forums, hence why such people get banned etc on any forum becuase it has a negative effect on the comunity so do not blame them, blame the guys being childish.

ON a different but relevant note I been thinking of making a number of banners and icons and things to have on peoples websites here or trying and get on others to get new members in, it would be nice to have new people who actually stay and increase the forums population a bit, what do you think and would you link to the site and try and get others to as well?

Just to add so people know red made another alt after getting around his recent ban and blocks made and account called "pink" and spammed the forums with not a nice picture and comments

He has now made an account titled "Serious=ChildMolesterer!!" and before that the other day when he last spammed with one about me

Trust me when I say Im familiar with trolling – I’ve had people share my accounts before and trolled a little myself on occasion…it doesn’t bother me. Why? It’s only the Internet.

I’m sure everyone here has a valid viewpoint – nexus, as above, and perhaps red too  - although arguably not the best way of expressing it. But…It’s only the Internet.

I like Tekforums…I read everyday…I’d miss it if it went down….but it’s only the Internet.

I think some people take it too seriously – It’s only the internet.


Chill….It’s only the Internet.

Very true but a few people spooling someones experience of the net is not on, this is a good comunity being spoilt by a few folk and not really about the net but childish acts which are pointless annoying others.
I been reacting more yes but not well cant hold even a bloody peace of paper in one hand so I like reading and posting on these forums becuase the people here (well but said few) are great folk

A quick note as Im off to the cinema.

1) A lot of people on here are real life friends. That makes it more than just a place for keyboard warriors. "its only the internet" only goes so far and is not an excuse to be crappy to people. It wont be tolerated.

2) The software may be rubbish for the forums, but we can still IP ban from the server, which is what will be happening to the entire range of IPs being used for this abuse.

3) Any chance of coming back red thought he might have had is vanishing rapidly the more he causes trouble.

just because its only the internet is no excuse to be rude or abusive to people, would you go up to someone on the street and call them something or be rude because you dont know them? Its the same thing really.

You make a valid point - I see the forums as an outsider and forget most of you guys know each other and its more of a social thing.

However...I think what I say has some validity...due to the nature of the medium I dont think people will be seriously offended or upset...not to the extent - to make reference to binary shadows point - that they would be in the real world.

If youre real life friends surely youll laugh it off when you see each other in real life? When you go out...in the real world? To that end…it is only the Internet?

I think some people spend a seriously unhealthy amount of time here...

Other aspect though is that Some of us are friends but although Only met him a few times I consider Clocked a good friend and met him through these forums, same goes for others, Other group meets etc may be arranged and you go along and actually make friends of other members etc, so Good communities on the web can and are more then just net pals.

referring to DeltaZeros point, sure having it PMd or posted on the net may not be as offensive as having it said to you IRL but it still is offensive and if its repeated and ongoing it would be pretty damn annoying and in some cases pretty hurtful

I would not go as far as hurtful but its enough to piss you off when sustained :/

Some of the things that have been going on have been overboard but christ since when did you have moderation or admin rights over this forum. Specifically:

1 is banned and being an even more of an idiot and a 2 others are close


you know this how?

At the end of the day youve thrown some punches, and the complaints Ive made against you have been worded in a perfectly polite, and placid manner. You, with your accusatory tone "if you say so" encouraged (I wont say forced as well you didnt have a gun to my head now) me to continue a genuine complaint about your misinformation, and confusing posts into what developed into a flame war.

As I said sometimes you just seem to run into the fire, arms waving, screaming "burn me, burn me".

Do yourself a favour and instead of becoming a target for abuse, listen to some of the complaints put to you, and make a difference. Then again... there is always the attention you get I guess.

Sure you keep saying your not a punchbag, but if you talk like one, act like one, and look to all intents and purposes as one... you are going to be treated as one.

Serious gets digs, some of them are definately over the mark, others are harmless gibes that from all appearances he gives as good as he gets sometimes, and its often quite enjoyable to see the counter retorts and banter that results (take the "Serious = evil" thread for an example).

Your flames.. are all aimed towards your crutch in life. Your disability. We put up with spelling more suited to that of a pre-school aged person, and jumbled words and even misplaced words, again... seemingly more suited to dyspraxia, or dyslexia... but even the most dyspraxic person I know still knows how to write in English, they religiously have to use a spell checker, and uses dragon voice typing software to navigate their pc and write their essays and reports.

You may have noticed that Ive been quiet about your illness of late, because it really did appear like you made a real effort to get a handle on things, and your contributions to this forum improved as a result. I piped up today about your thread making no sense, even ended the sentence with a nice smiley. You took it as a personal flame. Which is when this trouble started for me yet again.

People have sued and won damages for offensive stuff on the web. TBH Sam cant risk a payout so if anyone complains then it is likely to get edited. Just because one person may find it acceptable doesnt mean another person will.

Thats why I had nothing to do with Red getting kicked, for me the posts I saw were a minor issue, I gave him as much back. Cant comment on those I didnt see.

If he had made them towards another member then I would have thought differently.

So why do you do it?


I was referring, as you well know, to you. You seem to have this thing about me because James and the lads used to use my accounts to target you and I did nothing about it – because, as per my earlier points – getting on with people IRL is more important than what is written via a more abstract medium such as a forum. I wasn’t going to kick up sh*t with my mates because some dude I’d never met on a forum cried a bit.

We only need to compare post counts to see who spends the most time here and thus rule out the validity of your silly post.

I don’t agree with what Red did as such, but I do think you went on a power trip and, as Dave said, tekforums would seem to be the only responsibility you’ve ever had….and it shows. There’s a whole world out there: go explore.
