Microbob scammed posts

[Peter Harris]

anyone else think the law courts need more people like Mike in residence? I don't think i've ever seen an unfair call in his existence.

Thank you, Peter. Judging from the content of some of the pm's I've received, unfortunately you might be in a small group there! [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I was also thinking, wouldn't it be ironic if the guy's Twoplustwo account had been hacked? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Some guy made up a story about stealing your money and you want him permabanned? Please DramaBob. Please.

It's an invariable law that anyone in a position of responsibility hears more negative comments, as people will always tell you when something goes wrong, but rarely when everything goes off without a hitch.

I've been naughty on this forum too, so i can say from an observer and an offender's pov that you do a great job [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

My mom thinks Mike is brilliant!

Of course I disagree with you. A few days ban? Is that even a punishment at all? Seriously, that's not even a slap on the wrist. If he does it again, perma-ban him next time. Or will it also be a few days ban?

[Peter Harris]

this is obv the school of no second chances. The guy has been reprimanded and is on parole, why be draconian?

I think Jim made the right call and Mike was an excellent arbitrator, and it's much easier to criticise. If the op is stupid enough to do it again, then yes i think a harsher ban is appropriate.

I didn't see any of the posts in question but banning a guy for making up a story which ultimately doesn't hurt anyone seems pretty ridiculous. If he caused anyone any inconvenience or stress then give him a warning and a temp ban, seems fine to me.

I think a two day ban is pretty lame. Sorry. Just MHO. How about 2 days and a nice nasty custom title for a couple of months. Something like "lying idiot". Suggestions?

[Artsemis]

I've always enjoyed Microbob's posts but I don't think this was bad at all. Yes, it needs stopped to prevent others from following up but anything more than a 2-day ban is ridiculous over a lie.

Save some lengthy bans for when he really does it.
