    Come on i didn't think you were THAT naive, i don't need to prove that he came on here to wind people up.

    For those without blinkers it's clear for all to see.

    ???

    i didnt think it wound you up, but it was
    a) an attempt to wind you up, you did not get wound up, it was not funny. it was pointless.
    AD's posts are:an attempt to wind people up, some people dont get wound up, they are not funny. they are pointless.

    b) i wasnt saying that would wind you up, but you are wound up about him being banned

    As i said where is your prove that initially he came on here for a wind up?

    You can't prove it, therefore again its only your opinion.

    The second point is making me laugh so hard. I am debating my point, i haven't exactly insulted someone on this thread. However you have sworn on it....

    Does anyone else have a point of view, or do we all follow what other people say?

    Well done tenhourslater. A good point, and expressed his point of view.

    i made a good point and expressed my point of view.
    you dont have to insult someone to be wound up, you are annoyede he was banned otherwise you wouldnt care. and if you didnt care you wouldnt be argueing

    You mean debating, i tend to find arguing has more conflict than this thread has. Right ok, i will remember the point you just made, next time you are the opposition in a debate to someone, i will say you are annoyed. For actual fact, im on medication to lower blood pressure and other things at the moment, so i wouldn't get annoyed over a forum, and if i were to be annoyed i would walk away. Which i haven't.

    I have tried to keep out of this, but will comment as over the last 8 pages there is some shyte being typed.

    I know AD (decent enough bloke IMHO)

    Yes he does a bit of fishing (don't we all) (well some do;))

    Only any board you need diversity otherwise it becomes stale and boring.

    One thing you can't say is he isn't Watford through and through.

    Can't say I can recall why he was banned or how long for, but as long as everything is consistent and fair we should all respect the decisions made.
    Two things really pi$$ed me off when I was banned, 1 the accusation I tried to re-register and thus my ban was increased, this wasn't true. The second was people talking shyte on threads about you when they knew f***all of the truth and had her ***-bits of cr@p from others.

    Admins board, admins call, but in ending I do believe no ban should ever be permanent.

    Bring back capital punishment, then we'll have no dispute about whether bans should be permanent or not.

    Lol,

    What i meant was if we all want AD back we should make a forum called www.wfcforums.co.uk but im staying here :]]:]]

    There is point in banning someone for a month if you know they are just going to go back to there old ways. AD will not change so he should not come back.
     
  15. lm_wfc

    lm_wfc First Team

    that isnt a stupid idea, AD seems to have the time to create his own forum, it wouldnt be hard and admin might help if he agrees to stay away, a forum for the casuals to add to here gloryhorns and the darkside

    Good point.

    don't stress the small things. is any of this really that important?

    That's a great idea.
    If AD is sharp enough to get around the ban, surely he can create & run his own site.

    I'd swing by for a :whoosh: or two.

    Maybe I should have pointed some things out earlier? I will now.

    My time here at the moment is limited due to new work commitments in Europe and an imminent house move. I'm not complaining about that, I like to keep busy. The time I spend on here should be for the good of the forum and moving it forward. That has stopped due to the huge amount of time I've been wasting recently due to Arthurs over spamming and now over registration of users that have to be checked one by one. The same goes for the moderators time here too. All of us were being badly affected by Arthurs (now boring) spamming and the floods of PM's received every morning. His being here was turning out to be very negative so I had to act on it. Since then he's been flooding new user registrations to the point where my time is almost entirely being spent looking for genuine members who are registering. We're still being affected, hence the warning in post one.

    I was in Germany yesterday and had 3 chances to sign on here in the day. Each time was wasted with Arthurs new attempts at users and trying not to delete the genuine ones. Can anyone give me a single reason why I shouldn't carry out the threat in the first post?

    A forum troll isn't a bad thing, but when they stop being funny and start being detrimental then they're gone. Arthur Daley in any form won't be back on these boards ever.

    Bit harsh i feel mate, i honestly don't think you can state a phrase like that unless you have met someone.

    It's quite easy to tell them apart once you know the differences. Adam is a little taller and walks with a slight limp.

    well said.

    Arthur can be a right laugh sometimes, however his bad attributes outweighes his good ones- his constant spam, overuse of smilies and general lack of care for other users was terrible, and by creating hundreds of new accounts he's hardly making things better.

    He has a life ban, and im not saying hes not a nice guy, but in terms of posting hes not needed here.


    How about a certain small part, only one section, where arthur can post :p (thats a joke incase you wondered :p)

    You are always going to say that, i doubt you genuinely believe there's a point in him coming back on here.

    You appear to have readon just one post and come to all sorts of conclusions, try reading the reasons admin gave not just a user.

    Bit of a wind up ?? Thats all he does, so it's more than just abit.

    What you just said is some of the most sensationalised crap i've read for along time, you should write for a newspaper you really should.

    As i said try reading the posts by admin on the issue and you'll see the real reason why he got banned, not because of some smilies :rolleyes:, or you could PM admin if you are that bothered about it.

    Not that bothered about it really... Just wasted 30 minutes of my life reading a hundred posted thread and it appears that most of the trouble has occurred after AD receiving a life ban!...

    So what interests me is what happened before the life ban!! Everything that happened after receiving a LIFE BAN is irrelevant!

    What on earth did this man do to get 'LIFE'?

    From what I can remember, he did this:

    1) bumped up many posts that he thought particularly funny! So what?

    2) bumped up many posts that he felt strongly about so the chat could continue ! So what?

    3) at the end of his posts he did this a lot :]] :]] :]] so what?

    4) If he thought someones posted comments were ridiculous he would ridicule the culprit relentlessly! So what? Linekar, Hansen and Lawrenson get paid for this sort of ridicule every week on 'match of the day' -so what?

    5) Some of his views (free speech) run against the grain of popular thought and as he knew this and always got a reaction from it.. he played on it! So what?


    half the problem with this world is that you can not make a joke, wind someone up, fart or breath funnily without offending someone!! The world is soon to be a very boring place...

    It sounds to me as one or two people have a personality clash over opinions on a whole array of views, stances etc!... People were offended, hurt and a little sensitive over his actions and ways of dealing with it and he has got banned!!

    The offended two or three could of just ignored him, but they couldnt because personalities clashed and they got offended and upset and he didnt...

    Shame... free speech my a*se... :]] :]] :]]


    HOPE YOU ARE ALL PROUD OF YOURSELVES!!

    Oh please, nothing to do with free speech or being offended.

    Nobody got offended and it most certainly wasn't a matter of free speech. All those reasons you listed have something in common, at the end of the day they were to WIND PEOPLE UP.
    Which in the end becoming boring and tiresome and everybody had quite simply had enough. Then despite getting SEVERAL warnings he didn't bother to change his ways thus getting a ban.
    He then returned and continued to try and wind people up, also creating ridiculous other accounts that generally were a waste of everyone's time.

    More warnings came and went and i don't think admin had many options left to be honest.

    GET OVER IT.

    Take your figures and multiply by 10 to get a true estimate of the problems he was causing, and that's just the people who took the time to contact me or the mods. He also posted some comments that have caused me and the mods no end of **** behind the scenes. Arthur was warned so many times to back off that in the end he can blame nobody but himself.
