aramaya: Yeah good point,,i dont know what the answer is.I think there will always be the ones who want to cause friction as it gets them some attention..and yeah its not fair when people are getting hurt and offended..People should be able to express an opinion without getting banned,its mad..
some see your name,and they use the Ban-Button like a Panic-Button!

patmac: I've been banned by a few and banned a few myself (usually trolls and troublemakers).
But I did get banned after one post by a happy Maltese person....Mind you I think a few on that thread got the Elbow....Most folk use it seldom, but a few do over use it to the detriment of the thread in question.
Hi Patmac, I remember you how ya going? So many familiar names. It is so good so say hi to you all.
Funnily enough, that was actually a legitimate question, with some good answers on it. I was curious as to what people's take on the term was. The only answer left, doesn't answer the question at all. Shame really, as the least they could have done, was post their opinion on it, but instead chose to just use the usual post they make, which has no bearing whatsoever on the topic. Should I have hidden their post and banned them?

You and me alike.
Maybe they don't know?
I even mailed them and asked for their take on it, and if they'd edit their post to answer it, or if I could start another thread asking the same question.

I know you did CO, I was following the thread, might have even posted on it.
But as they said, the ban feature is here to stay and I personally think it's a good feature when used properly. Even when it's abused it's no big deal, there are plenty of other threads we can move onto, anyway, who wants to be where they're not wanted?

Guess what reply I got?? Yah, none.
Rarely get an answer! The System here pretty much runs it self!
