Where has this nick fanclub come from??
At least I can understand the people who think we should just ignore him, but the people who is seriously backing him here? Really??

Can't we just bring him back and ban the people who can't work out how to ignore him/not get worked up by his eccentric comments? Surely people who call him a twat etc deserve a short ban? Can't we just bring all offenders out of prison and put the victims who couldn't avoid them there instead? #logic Or sling those in the slammer for wasting police time.

I go away for a short holiday and all this shit happens! As a forum, we seem to have a fantastic ability to start a fight in an empty room. Need a match quickly to get our teeth into, maybe even find a new Mark Hudson to channel the bile and hatred.

What I really can't get my head round is why I've spent 20 minutes of my life reading through a thread about someone who has been banned for drawing attention to himself by creating and bumping his own threads. He's got the attention now. Exactly. He'll be sat at home thrapping himself into a blistered mess reading this. Aye. Mr Nick to Mrs Nick.... "4 pages now love, bring the ketchup in will ya" Sorry sorry 5 pages I'll have some garlic mayo...."

I have absolutely no beef with Nick. He's a Town fan and so he has as much right to post on here as anybody. We really shouldn't be getting our knickers in a twist about nonsensical comments or repeated threads. There are a lot more important things in life.

This is how the Nazis started. Quite agree Berty. Been coming on this forum for many years, not as a massive poster, but just to see the banter. Rarely if ever got upset by any posters, when you've got a brain, eyes and an index finger you just choose who/what to look at. I'm afraid the lengthy admin 'explanation' is just white noise. Hard done by Nick IMO

Don't care - #FreeTheNickOne Careful, you'll be in trouble for bumping I know. It just makes me sad that folk on here are so intolerant. Nick is harmless, never abuses anyone, is regularly funny and/or quirky and despite his lack of real news, brings loads of stuff to the forum. How sad and narrow minded are the people who complain and get him banned, yet seem to accept many other types of abuse, foul language, insults or threats. A bad, sad day on DATM.

I think bermuda barnacle's post at the top of page 4 nails it. He's like an amiable, eccentric uncle. He's harmless and a bit silly, but if he irritates people so much there's always the option to ignore his posts. As Cheesy alluded to earlier - ignore his posts & they'll drop off the page.

So we're on the cusp of possibly our most exciting season in nearly 50 years and this is the busiest thread on here.
Nice....

The rules were brought in to tame Nick. ipso facto he is repeatedly banned. His "fan club" is clearly large and supportive and enjoy his presence....and you are clearly not part of it. Shame.

Agreed, so why is he banned, and don't tell me to read the op again. It's just wrong

Maybe he can't help it? Does anyone know him personally?
I don't know him (& I'm not suggesting nor implying anything) but if someone's socially awkward or has something like aspergers etc. (which can take on many forms) how would you police/control that on an internet forum?
If we encountered someone who had something like tourettes & they constantly said/shouted things at the wrong time in the wrong places, some of us would be uncomfortable with it & just ignore it, some of us would be more comfortable with it & communicate with them & some of us would be offended (& complain/report them)....it's kinda the same thing, but because its a forum & we're 'writing it down', we assume the poster should have more 'control'....maybe some people don't have that control, maybe its their way of communicating (thier only way of communicating)? If we were all the same, the world would be a boring place! I dunno the answer but I hope he's ok & enjoys this weekend all the same.

The question is, do the nick fanclub think different rules should apply to different posters?

Can't say I've noticed it myself - just people bumping his threads for him.

Banned for posting informative links on a football forum, mainly about town....
I'm not sure it's the role of a moderator to filter what can and can't be posted on a forum, rather that it remains at an acceptable level and isn't offensive.
I'm pretty sure we live in a democratic society of free speech, which alot of our grandfather's fought for....
BANNING NICK? Really? I click on his stuff see what it says in the link and choose if I read it or not, some of the abuse and drivel on here and you ban him?

What I don't understand though is the people who are going mad over his ban when the admin's have explained he has broken the rules numerous times. Maybe if folk didn't moan incessantly over all his threads or patronise when he makes a 'good thread' there wouldn't be this drama. You're all grown ups. The examiner sub board proved if you didn't reply and get so upset by him he would get bored and leave it. I just don't understand people that feel the need to try stick the knife in. It's almost as if some relish it cause they want to have a go at him/someone. I don't post on here often cause I talk bollocks. I probably am now but it seems to me the biggest moaners are all quiet now. I think there is a lot worse that goes on, on here yet they're free to post as they please. And because some are still free to post I find it an injustice.

As I said elsewhere - I don't like the decision, I don't agree with the decision but after cheesy's post I understand it & I understand how they intend to deal with the situation once he's back. I can't ask for fairer than that.
