I think a 6 year ban is ridiculous................a month or two, maybe, but this is way over the top.

It's a chatboard, people sometimes overstep the mark as is the way of chatboards, I think more short bans when deserved, would keep it sweeter.

John is a self-confessed winder upper, he repeatedly posted the same thing over and over to wind Errol up, but I don't think a huge long ban is helping anyone.

It might just tempt others to try the same trick to get other members banned for years, so making things worse than they sometimes are now. :-\ :-\

I am sure that GR would not ban a member just for the sake of it.

Maybe the OP has been reported because it goes against the T&Cs as the banned member has no redress and the reporter feels that this thread is discussing something that cannot be defended by the individual.

(PS I did not report it)

I have no doubt this thread will be removed because GR staff decisions are being brought into disrepute and that's against T&Cs I should imagine.
:-D :-D :-

Cynthia was only letting people know what has happened to John

Some right weirdos on here :-(

Mersey, I noticed that Cynthia's OP has been RR'd I can't see any reason why it should have though.

Lyndi, I agree. Now I wonder who could have had that RR'd.

I for one will miss John about the boards, his ban is far too severe, while some posters get away with it all.

Cynthia yes Family Tree Forum, I think even that one may have split into two but not sure, never go on it now. Lots of people left that time. It maybe even before most of the current GR admin staff were here. (2007).

It is always a shame when action by admin staff, even if within their rules, can spoil the boards for the rest of us. Not saying we won't survive without John, of course we will, but the autocracy leaves a bit of a nasty taste. (no doubt this thread won't last long).

Anyway, what has happened to Shelly, shouldn't she be out here in the thick of it explaining why the ban is such a long one? :-S
