Weavie Banned and Unbanned (Apologies to Weavie)
Weavie I hate to do this...
But for the integrity of this board.
So for 24 hours unless I forget, I'm suspending you.
Yes I've joined the others "I have seen the enemy and he is us"
I'm more than happy to see your posts. I have absolutely no problem with your optimism, love of Paladini and Pete and poems. But not for every thread, a comment.
I'm very happy for you to start a thread, and keep posting on that thread.
And I really hate doing this. And I apologize. But I have to

Mike, I hate to ask for this but, please give me your (the boards') definition of free speech.
Under no circumstance should a non-violent, non-racist poster be banned. If I want to read what one poster says I will. If not I can simply skip over it.
If a poster is dominating the board than surely a straw poll amongst the board members as what to do would be best and in keeping with the community aspect of this board.
I am a bit shocked that you have banned Weavie (even if only 24hrs), his madness only matched by his love of the club and his keyboard, just ignore him when you are annoyed by him. There are a trillion worse people abusing the net for far worse purposes and to hand a ban to a poster for posting too much is, in my view, absurd.

Very Fair comment, Mark. You could be right? And was my first ban? But what's the solution? I agree you can read not read. But just scroll down. For about 35 consecutive threads, Weavie.
But absolutely: I welcome all coments - public and if you prefer, just pm me

OK CPR: You're the moderator. What do YOU do? Weavies posts at will (which is the obvious default position) or not? (Or maybe just more "moderation?")
or maybe issue a warning first? On reflection, Maybe I should have done that - rather than the 24 hours?

I've seen nothing offensive but then not read all the board yet. Mayber a message via PM requesting that he stops posting like a loon with a proviso that further action will be taken. Conversely, ban him coz he's weavie I wouldn't want anyone banned unless they are deliberately offensive. Equally, I understand your point as it could drive other posters away, difficult one indeed. It's only a day or so that you were giving him a farewell post and hoping he didn't desert so you kind of invited it really. Sod it, ban him.

Zed, ban QPR Report for constantly posting threads please. 24 hours will be fine. ;D ;D I see it as a cooling off period for Weavie and when he has a look back I'm sure he will agree it was the right thing to do. I'm not sure what other people think but Reports earlier suggestion of a Weavie thread for his own thoughts and poems sounded good to me.

I have now unbanned him pending a decision of this board/further dicussion. And I welcome Weavie's input. On this thread.
Or maybe if Weavie wants to set up his own blog, and I'd be happy to have a link on my site.
So let's discuss. Or maybe Weavie will view this as a warning. Whatever.

Mind you, he did have the kit thread to loon about on but got bored with it obviously. BTW. This is about you not to you weavie.

Weavie is cool. A bit nuts, but cool. I've always found him amusing.

Why an effigy?

It has to be an effigy. Weavie is not allowed near the village since the restraining order.

My apologies to Weavie!
I thought I had unbanned him within an hour of the ban
I made a mistake. The posts (truly) made me see the error of my way. I shouldn't have banned him, without a lot more private discussion and warning, if I had a problem...
Anyway it transpires, I only lifted the ban by name. He was still banned by IP address and email. That's been resolved (just now)
So apologies to Weavie. And I presume it will be welcome back Weaview.
