I created a post to gauge members opinion as to whether GGMI had served a long enough ban, and should be allowed to return to Gas Chat. BLINK, AND YOU WOULD HAVE MISSED IT, AS MODS TOOK IT DOWN IMMEDIATELY.
I put a lot of effort into writing the post, which I will re-write here, as I hope that mods will be decent enough to restore my original post - the is not a dictatorship, it's a football forum.
I am usually very easy going, but am absolutely fuming that this has been taken down.
PLEASE INFORM ME PUBLICLY IF ALL MODERATORS AGREED FOR THE POST TO BE REMOVED (must have been the fastest mod meeting in history, if so) OR TELL ME WHICH MODERATOR REMOVED IT.
Thank you

A Mod has just informed me that polls on individual posters are not allowed, as it may damage their mental health - which I can quite accept as a rule of thumb.
However, I know that GGMI is struggling with not being able to participate on here, and he is aware of the poll, and quite happy for it to be up.
I am still feckin' fuming.

He appears to be safe and well on Gasheads.com and posting threads about himself. |

Why was he banned other than annoying people? Surely thats not enough to be banned? He for all his spectrum like behaviours did add value to this place imo. Granted im not a mod and maybe i dont know the full facts but life has been sh** for 18 months or so, lets give the guy (i assume) a break and get him back on board. We are gas family of all shapes, sizes, colours and creeds etc.. one thing unites us and lets not forget why this place exists. To bring together gasheads. Give him another chance!!!

So rather than accepting the explanation given, you've posted it again despite being asked really nicely not to. You are GGMI and I claim my £5 Don't you feel there is enough sh**e and division on here already? A thread on GGMI is going to be If you think the Mods are twats vote 1 If you think GGMI is a twat vote 2 How is that helpful to anyone? He has a ban, and he knows why and when it's over. Can't we just leave it at that? |

Tilly they have given their reasons which are for everyone's benefit imo. The mods do a difficult enough job, making exceptions like that won't make it any easier. They are (mostly) reasonable people why not let them decide when its time. |

Can't we just leave it at that? I have not posted it again. It is not asking people to say the mods are twats, if people had been allowed to see my original post, they could see that I was supportive of the moderators and appreciate the job they do. I asked to be considered for a moderator role, and, if considered suitable I was prepared to keep an additional eye on GGMI, along with the regular duties which moderators do.Maybe it would have been helpful to let Gas Chat members see my original post, with the poll removed? Sorry that on this occasion I haven't been a good little girl and done as the moderators have decreed. |

Thought I hadn’t seen GGMI for awhile.
Let’s be honest, s/he should have been banned permanently a long time ago. Been given a lot more chances than most

Is there a reward for finding him? Or maybe not finding him.

He appears to be safe and well on Gasheads.com and posting threads about himself. free speech still exists though doesnt it? No harm, just ignore if not your cup of tea. Free speech does exist but it comes with a level of responsibility. It doesn’t exist on its own. But the right to free speech seems to get repeated every time someone gets banned and in GGMI’s case after many warnings apparently from the mods. I guess he just carried on ignoring the warnings and carried on with his stuff before realising, too late, that he’d gone too far. Not sure that’s the fault of the mods.They explained why he was banned. If you want to enjoy free speech then it’s best to accept the need for some level of responsibility. He seems to be enjoying himself over there. He’s just got a warning from the main man there for winding someone up! He won’t change! UTG! |

He won’t change! UTG! Good post. If you continue your activity despite being told repeatedly that it's not appropriate and that action will be taken, then you only have yourself to blame for eventually getting punished. Really does my nut in this whole "free speech" thing. It is simply a veil for people that want to freely insult, annoy, wind up or demean others without having to face any consequences. |

Not another thread about him, he's better off on the other forum, leave him to wind people up and bump threads there

I clicked on this thread because I assumed from the title it was asking people to be on the lookout for Paul Coutts and Sam Finley...
