The question is, do the nick fanclub think different rules should apply to different posters? 1 - the rules were designed to get Nick banned. Fake Rules. 2 - You should be banned, you even named yourself after his most annoying (evidently) posting tic!!

What I can't get my head around are the folk defending someone who repeatedly and very deliberately posts constant rubbish, with the plainly obvious primary aim of antagonising others. Been on here most days for years and seen many posters 'antagonising' other posters and quite enjoyed it. Get's a bit strong sometimes but in the scheme of life's challenges it's not that big a thing is it. Maybe people need to re-set their compasses

The question is, do the nick fanclub think different rules should apply to different posters? I am not in any fan club but have defended him at times and my entire beef with his treatment on here is that people who attack him quite viciously at times have not been dealt with AT ALL per the forum rules. Other people start vague threads with titles like "in" and get no abuse at all. Other people start threads that are just links, nothing wrong with that either but if its Nick he is attacked for it. Only last week I told a poster to leave Nick alone because he was attacking him over a duplicate thread, again quite viciously. The two threads in question were started within a minute of each other, both posters were probably typing it up at the same time, and when I pointed that out the poster did not apologize at all just went on ranting. Again nothing done about the attack, I guess because Nick did not report it. With all that said, I wish the forum would get back to what its supposed to be about. I am sick of every thread going downhill at 100 mph into an argument about Nick. Hopefully the season starting this weekend will help with that.

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. I've seen him at games and he's fairly normal. His behaviour on here is plain attention seeking

Simply because I was bored of seeing what people are having for their tea or they've just been to the cinema or how much a packet of potatoes cost. I would be much more intolerant if I read that on my updates. Maybe some folk are overloaded with site from people they know, or know someone vaguely who are 'friends' on a boring narcissistic website and need someone to get their frustrations out on. Nick may be good for your health! Get that anger out guys.😉 Is this the point where I'm talking bollocks and log out for 5 months

Yes I understand that which is why I said I guess Nick didn't report it although in my opinion he would have been right to do so. Its just sad to me, this whole thing is blown out of all proportion largely by people who find it more productive to open threads to complain than just scroll past them. As I said before Nick may have broken the rules and deserve a ban but so do the people attacking him on every post he makes.

It is with much discussion and regret that we have banned Nick for two weeks, for repeated breach of the rules over the past two weeks since his last ban. We do not ban people lightly, and we generally try and exhaust all avenues available to us before doing so. One example is the Examiner sub-board - Nick was posting hourly Examiner articles, and the intention was to give him a space where he could scream into the abyss with nobody to hear him, and he would eventually get bored. It worked for a time, but it is clear that it has run its course, and not had the desired effect long-term. We have, therefore, been left with no option on this occasion but to issue a ban. We also generally prefer to keep these decisions private, as we do not like to air our dirty laundry in public. However, on this occasion there are some points that we think it would be useful to make to the board as a whole. Nick has been banned, mainly, for repeatedly doing three things: (1) starting new threads when what is posted could have been posted on an existing thread (i.e. one that is on page 1 of the board), (2) unnecessarily bumping threads that had run their life, for no discernible purpose, and (3) incomprehensible thread titles. He has been warned about this on a number of occasions, and has previously been banned for the same thing. We generally turn a blind eye when posters do the above, but when they do it multiple times we have no option but to intervene. However, what he has not been banned for is generally posting links. As long as a link is posted on a topic not covered by a thread already on page 1 of the board, then there ought to be no issue. Most threads are started in one of two ways: (1) "these are my views, let's discuss" and/or (2) "these are someone else's views, let's discuss". External links fall into the second category, and are a perfectly legitimate way to start a thread, irrespective of who posts them. If the link was posted by somebody other than Nick, it would either be discussed, or it would not. In any event, it would fall off page 1 when it had run its course. If it was not something people were interested in discussing, or it was something that had been discussed in the past, it would generally be ignored and fall off page 1 within the day. With Nick, however, sarcastic comments lead to arguments, which lead to the board polarised on the basis of either being pro or anti Nick. It is petty, it is pointless, and it is counter-productive, because the one thing it prevents the thread from doing is dropping off page 1, which is presumably what those who are gunning for Nick would want. In addition to that, an argument about Nick, whether you are pro-Nick or anti-Nick, is off-topic, and derails a thread. This is, in itself, against the forum rules. I repeat, whether you are rushing to Nick's defence or rushing to put the dagger in, it is a breach of the forum rules. As Admin, we use our discretion to decide whether or not to pull people up for this. Because so many people pile into Nick's threads, we have been unable to take action that we may otherwise have taken, and if we were to warn or ban everyone involved (particularly the repeat "offenders") then we would never get chance to live our lives away from the computer (and the club's XXXL shirt sales would continue to rise). Nick may or may not change his posting style when he returns from his holiday. If he heeds our advice then it will, and we can all live happily ever after. If he does not, however, then the appropriate way to deal with his posting, if you do not like it, is (1) report the post to us, and (2) ignore it. If his threads are ignored, then they will drop off page 1 and the problem is solved. If he bumps them unnecessarily, then he is committing the same offence that he has been banned for, and we will deal with it as we deem appropriate. However, consider this as fair warning. If people decide to take matters into their own hands and start, or continue, arguments about Nick's (or any other person's) posting style, when the appropriate course is to report or ignore the thread, then we will also take whatever action we deem appropriate against those posters, for their respective breaches of the forum rules.

This thread should be locked. Most of the main contributors are generally the blinkered sort whatever the topic, so it's just going to be the same point being repeated with no compromise, middle ground found, etc.
I hear we have a game on Saturday. Is this true?

4/10 this thread has nothing on the Straighttalker epic.
Still, good decision. I'd have permabanned him mind. Pretending to be mentally retarded to try and bait reaction is really not on.
