Hello t-o-m, Your account has been issued a Forum Ban, which prevents posting in the forum and accessing private messages. Comment from Moderator (Twill): T-o-m You've had more warnings than anyone should have had. You've nickle and dime'd your way into a forum ban one little problem at a time. Over the last few days your posts have been nothing but spam, flames, baiting or aggression and while you have contributed a fair bit over your time here, you have also been an overall negative influence on the site. You are as of now permanently banned form the forums, and all associated features (yes, this included PMs). We gave you plenty of chances and told you exactly where you could improve, but you chose to ignore them. There is no buy back from this, you had your chance. Sorry mate. Regards,The Conquer Club

He'd had countless informal warnings, 8 formal warnings, 4 previous forum bans of varying lengths, and 3 chat bans of varying lengths.
Anyone who claims that his posts were consistently within the forum guidelines needs to re-read them and tom's posts.
He had the chance to turn things around, he chose not to, now he got exactly what he was told he would, so good for him, must have been what he wanted.
<shrug> Never did understand that guy.

Retired. Please don't PM me about forum stuff any more.
Was asked to relay this... t-o-m› will someone go tell owen shooter to **** off, stop being such an ass hole around the forums, and learn to read - please?

Bullshit. He got 8 warnings sure, but he had 3694 posts. That means 3686 posts he DIDN'T get a warning for. That's 99.99 posts of his that WOULDN'T get a warning. Now if someone had 8 posts and got 8 warnings, I can understand him being banned. But 8 posts out of 3694 posts? Bullshit. He contributed to this site so much it's a shame that you see the need to kick him off.
And even this:
"You've nickle and dime'd your way into a forum ban one little problem at a time."
Who cares if he's caused a bunch of little problems? People really didn't hate him. I think that moderators should only ban someone if they really need to and the whole community is pratically on their side. I wouldn't say that was the case here. I would say most people enjoyed t-o-m and it's a shame to see him go. Another one lost today, in the past couple of months this has turned into a forum holocaust.

Well actually, the other side of the coin shows a great patience on the part of the Mods and the team.

Well that is a subjective response. I had no feelings either way, but you must try to reach out into the wider community rather than the closed environment of a few friends. You cannot say people didn't really hate him, he may well have been reviled and despised by many.

Again, you must try to reach out. You need to widen your limited horizon. From my viewpoint, no one I know and respect has been banned. perhaps that is the difference. I see no 'holocaust'.

Might want to check again on his post count...
Nope, I clicked show all posts. His current post count shows somewhere in the 2000's. Clicking show all posts is counting chatter box posts. That puts him at 3694.

More and more imbeciles are being permabanned, Twill's Final Solution is upon us.
Oh dear, the Final Solution huh. I had received reports of this, they are on my study floor somewhere, but to date did not know that the imbeciles were being permabanned with such severity.
Perhaps we should have a pop concert...."Free the Imbeciles"

You are correct about the holocaust thing. GD has really not seen to much from it. It's mostly in FW and IK where people who get banned are. T-o-m wasn't hated, trust me. If he was hated he would be much more active in FW and if we would not have been let into Spamalot. Trust me, they don't let hated people in there...
Now you could say that the other side of the coin shows patience, but t-o-m never started anything big. He never made racist threads like norse, posted porn like RK, or posted multi info like interfacer or wicked. Anything he did wrong was not that serious, and although you could make the case he was baiting people. Of course he was, everyone is, it's an online forum for god's sake.
all other forums i know have the policy your third ban is permanent... this is his fifth, according to twill if i read that correctly. so don't act like it was a surprise.

Imbeciles have been despised and ridiculed throughout history, but anti-imbecilism has gotten worse over the years. Perhaps it's time we give them a forum outside of CC so that they can practice their ways without bothering anybody else. How about something like 'State of Imbecil'?
Timmy - I hate to break it to you, but a lot of people thought t-o-m was an annoying retard. You're just blinded by your love for little British boys with severe brain damage.
