Don't be disingenuous. You started a thread suggesting that they committed fraud because they are Nigerian. Your thread was removed because it was very obviously xenophobic. If you want to start a thread about them being imprisoned, then fine. But using this story as a thin façade to try and get attention so that you can cry about fascism and snowflakes simply isn't going to wash.
Not only that, but you've posted this in the main board when it should go in the "Forum Rules and Admin Issues" board, where I am moving this thread.

No link to the UK and red phone boxes then. Why would it be in "forum rules"? I love Nigerians and Nigeria....i have been there twice but to suggest i am xenophobic (disingenuous) is ridiculous. I live in Poland and have lived in 5 countries. Last night i had dinner with a Sikh, tonight a Dutchman and a Surinamese. Get off your high horse man....stop removing stuff because of YOUR prejudices.

Forum rules....why has this been moved? It has nothing to do with forum rules. What are you on about cheeseboy? Ridiculous state of affairs. An EMBARRASSMENT!

I really don't care how you try to justify it. It was xenophobic no matter how many Nigerian friends you have.
You have a very simple choice, you can either start posting on this forum in the way that you used to and not getting up on your little soap box to try and deliberately provoke a reaction, or you can keep going as you are at the moment, which will end up with you on a permanent ban (which is what your next yellow card will get you). Scream fascism and intolerance all you want, but if you carry on as you are doing then you'll be screaming at your computer screen as it tells you that you can't log onto the forum.

Seems a bit harsh banning the lad, hes obviously a well travelled, well educated man, highly intelligent. I don't read xenophobia or racism anywhere in his post.

Having read the thread, it strikes me Cheesy did you a favour. Had it been reported by another posters, it would almost certainly have resulted in a yellow and a lifetime ban, as this is the next step.
As for moving this thread, you started this as a rant against the admins for how we police the site. this is obviously where it belongs.

It was removed because you had a panic attack and could not get hold of Grimmy on whatsup. Want me to link you to a thousand Nigerian scam websites...ones naming Nigerians by the Nigerian government? Grow a pair admins...Jesus H.

If you like, I can put it back on the main board and allow people to report the post, at which point you will receive a lifetime ban for a very clear and obvious breach of the rules. Alternatively, it can stay where I've put it. I'm minded to keep it where it is, and let that be the end of the matter, but I'm happy for you to try and persuade me otherwise.

I just got some odd email from Big Brother telling me my threat level was reduced to zero/state green. Make your minds up. The last message sent to you by any admin was on 8th November, and included this warning: "Your current warning status is 66% - the next action will be a ban, and the only debate will be the length of it." If you want to talk yourself into a lifetime ban, given that this is the next action to be taken, go ahead. It will be no skin off anyone's nose.

Cant anything posted in offtopic or politics be a little more lenient when it comes to bans/yellow cards etc. If something controversial is posted in tott then fair enough. Can i post it on behalf of the otium? Seen as though i am clean. By the way, thanks daz, cheese, phil, oz, grim, for your thankless task on this site.

I stopped back in the summer (even though I'm still listed as an Admin) so no need to thank me - but you're right that those guys still doing the job definitely deserve thanks (giving you the benefit of the doubt that you're being sincere). It really is a shit job - every decision made upsets someone.

Do as you please cheesesticks...power..power! I think he's giving you a choice Oti. Tell him what you want him to do OK. put it back on the forum so all the tell-tales can "report me" (school time). Why would that constitute a ban? Are you automatically banned for some half-wit dobbing you in on some trumped up offence? Getting beyond tiresome on here.

So what was the notice i got saying your warning status has been reduced to 0%? You are making this chimps tea-party up as you go along.

Several posts get reported on there that the admin team would sanction on the main board but get no action on the politics thread. I believe kennyk2 once commented on such a post in the admin panel with "it's on the politics sub-board - lock the door and leave it alone" or words to that effect.

After serving a ban the %age of your warning level is reset but the number of infringements that trigger the next action remains in place. Up to you whether you choose to tread carefully or not. I couldn't give a shiny shite. Cheesy did you a favour that I would not have done.

Let me be clear, if otium gets banned, it means i will be going with him, along with every other loyal EPBS member, that includes one of your admin staff that is secretly serving as a EPBS member. Characters make this forum what it is, and without them it crumbles. There is already a epbs forum ready to take command of. Im sure we all want whats best for datm, but measures are in place for such circumstances. One of those circumstances is a admin motion of no confidence. Stand ready, chips, sussed and 2ic otium.

Just to confirm, you think that this makes us less likely to ban Otium for xenophobic posts?
