I haven't deleted any posts but I did edit that one 2 pages back. Call me a snowflake, but I'm not being called "the c word" 10 times in the same post. I've let it slide quite a few times when he's called me it recently but there are limits.
It all stems from when I moved those posts. He was getting more and more abusive to me after that, in the end I banned him for the evening to let him calm down.
Unbanned him the following morning although he didn't post for a while. When he did he would make the odd Grimes-esque comment towards me and was generally ANGRY NQ but nothing too out of character.
Yesterday every post in the match thread was full of bile, I had a private conversation with Maccy about whether we should ask him to tone it down a bit. He was asked to, refused to Maccy banned him from that thread only.
Then he posted the thing 2 pages back - as discussed, I then edited it. He's made it clear he doesn't accept what I did and won't change the way he's now posting unless I...well, I don't know what actually. Not sure what he expects me to do.
So we banned him.
He'd be welcome back if he posts like he used to, as I said he was one of my favourites (I know we're not supposed to have favourites, I love you all equally really). But he's made it clear he won't so I'm not sure what we can do
As GP said, this is all because I moved some posts into a new thread. I've explained above why. Fine to disagree but this is all a massive over-reaction, no?
