It's more of a continuous lack of appreciation of what work goes in to keeping the forum useable for everyone. A front page with 6/10 threads all on Shrewsbury and all started by the same user directly after being asked not to do exactly that in a friendly pm is unfair on the mods and more importantly unfair on people who have to go through several pages of pointless threads to find a subject they are interested in. People like to come on and say oh, poor GGMI it's those horrible overbearing mods again but they have missed all the crap because by the time they've logged in it's been sorted by the moderation team so it all looks like he's done nothing wrong. Maybe next time we should just leave the forum in a complete mess and allow people to do whatever they want to ruin it. Sorry if this comes across as abrupt but I'm getting watered off with having to continually defend us as a mod team when we did everything we could to sort out the sh** created and actively went out of our way to avoid banning him and yet still people want to have a dig at us. Hugo me old mucker.... The fact that we defend our actions publicly is what's good about it all. We could 'shut the door' or 'close the curtain' but we don't, we try our best to keep this place as open as can be.... I've worked in places that highly paid management don't have the communication and dialogue that us guys all do for free.... UTG

I get that and for the record I wasn’t having a dig at the mods , just simply saying that he’d never had a dig or wound me up. You do a good job, I wouldn’t keep coming on here if you guys didn’t.

Hugo is right.GGMI is often too insensitive and hurtful to others and his ego needs controlling.He has upset several over the years and I applaud the MODS for what they do.

No criticism from me Hugo. I enjoy using the forum, but would have no desire to be a Mod, so kudos for you guys who can be bothered. At the end of the day you accept the Mods instructions or p1ss off elsewhere. Its all very simple really.

Makes sure we keep trying to do the right thing. I was in a bad mood yesterday.

Everyone just grow a pair ggmi haven't ever offended me nor has anyone else for that matter I wouldn't let it this is just a forum with plenty of banter lol Hurry up mods let him back please. We all love banter, football is based on it. But GGMI most of the times went beyond banter, especially with mods. Almost like a wasp at a bbq. You would change a thread title, he would change it back. You would merge a thread and he would complain, when there are 5 threads all saying the same There were a few mods who didn’t want to ban him, but after a quiet word in his shell he whinged and posted the PM just to antagonise. Even I find that frustrating. So if you ask someone to comply repeatedly, and they don’t, what do you expect us to do?

No need to defend yourself HTE. You mods do a great job. If he did those things, all those Shrewsbury threads after being asked in a polite PM not to do it then he deserves all he gets. I guess if we’ve joined the forum club then we need or obey certain rules, blimey they’re not hard or even difficult. If anyone does those things then they are taking the p*** aren’t they? Perhaps he wanted to be banned and get sympathy elsewhere by saying “poor me look what they did to me.” Liked some of his threads but if he’s deliberately causing havoc then do what you’ve done. No problem, life’s too short to take that crap! UTG!

I remember some years back, on Talk Radio, before it become Talk Sport, there was a late night slot with Tommy Boyd which was completely live and unmoderated, and anyone could say anything they liked.
It consisted mainly of knobs phoning up and shouting "fuuck you" and "waaarrrgh"
It didn't last long.
