So what happened there then? Must have missed that.
Just had a look on his youtube account and he goes to my old school (unless there's another ashlawn somewhere)
-
he had a youtube channel?
-
yeah, someone posted it in a thread the short time he was here. Have a search for him. Can't remember his full name but if you have a look at the last post on the pinned thread of the Tech section, I quoted him and his names there.
-
He was. Odd.
Why is he gone?
-
He was kind of not following the etiquette that we all pretty much get the hang of on here
He posted 150-180 posts in under 3 days
He started way too many topics , often pointless rubbish , burying the good stuff and making the forum less of an interesting place to be.
A number of us suggested he slow down a bit , or read some of the 20,000+ topics on here (as many are useful) or even go & play guitar .(he was getting on a few of the regular guys' nerves)
He didn't take the hint , even when it was spelled out to him and in the end posted an image that was considered beyond offensive to some, and certainly in violation of the terms of this forum
It also looks like he was a member of the website 4chan.org where cyber attacks on other forums are seen as sport
He may (or may not) have left of his own free will , but the threads he was on were mostly deleted by mods to resume normal service

yeh i ent sin im in tiem!
I think he felt the full fury of the banhammer. All his posts are gone along with replies made by anyone in his threads. There was one post in particular which referred to a regular poster who he seemed to assume was doing military service in the middle east, I think it made mention of Wootton Bassett and the repatriation of dead soldiers in a less than sensitive way.
I'm putting it mildly. The phrase "see you next tuesday" springs to mind.

Pls keep this thread civil. There's been WAY too much use of the red pen and scissors lately!!

Y'know I'm sure you have about the most boring mod job on the internet here.
Just sayin'.
No reason.
Except, y'know, its just us, usual suspects, what else have you ever known us to be but civil?
Dont answer that :lol: (We can be uncivil relatively civilly though :lol:)
I just about caught a couple of threads. Silly git. Gave me a chuckle though, and a sigh or ten. Afghans reaction was pretty decisively contemtuous, and rightly so (I did lol at the rocky pic though :lol:).
Seems to me we've had a couple of chaps join with *nearly* comparable....how shall we say, exuberance? But they learned the score and are decent posters now.
In summary/more directly - I'm fine with this guy being gone, but I take a certain degree of vicarious pride in this forum being a civil place of its own accord, by virtue of the members (even if I am from time to time one of the less civil members), not by threat of the banhammer. Not sevenstring.org, basically!
Though I suppose that all hinges on...did he jump or was he pushed...and I suppose I dont need to know.

Very true and one of the reasons this place stays top of my places to go on the web

Amen, that place is getting annoying

Abso-friggin'-lutely.
-
Some of the hints gave me a chuckle. I participated in some of those hints. AFAIK none I wrote were offensive. If so, sorry.
I missed the offensive pics and Afghan's reaction, though.
-

Don't think it got as far as a reaction... he was gone by then
I could imagine Dave having fun and responding that he was (part) Afghan by birth rather than a soldier serving in Afghanistan and seeing what confusion that caused.
Lets just be glad that we see eye to eye most of the time on here and self-police ourselves and move back onto guitar related stuff (that kid has had enough airtime now)
I've got 3 nice NGDs coming up - and they are toys for myself rather than stuff for others that I've built.
-
I'm glad that we all thought the same thing though, I didn't want to mention it directly but.. this result was the one that everyone wanted I guess, heh.
-
I did wonder what had happened to the lad! :lol:
There was a thread about "biggest influences" which was getting quite active one night with comments about his YouTube channel..... I thought that might get locked but then suddenly he disappeared altogether.
Never saw the offensive image though.

+1

Some say he has his own youtube channel and that he cyber attacks guitar forums for 4chan by posting 50 times a day.....
All we know is..........he's called The Stig!
-
:D
I'm usually a very placid guy but for someone reason this particular one got to me. I did unfortunately post some rather immature comments aimed at him - again something I don't necessarily do.
I'm very glad that this episode is over now. It wasn't the end of the world but it did makes this a less great place to visit.
Well done to the mods if you did something to sort it quickly. And yes, that image was completely inappropriate.
-
Just a suggestion folks - how about we forget he ever came here and just get on with our lives?
-
I agree Frank. I thought it would go one of two ways- either he'd settle down and become a regular or he'd cause offence and get banned. Shame really but there you go. As has been said, this is a great forum and I value my time on here and learn a lot. I also like the camaraderie we have built up from folks with all different ages and backgrounds. Onwards and upwards and it is great that the revamped website has brought some new blood in and hopefully a good proportion will join in.
-
I also agree with frank. I shouldn't have started the thread really, but I was just curious as to the banning.
I knew most of the kids in that school were gobshitees when I went there :lol:
I kind of see this place as a pub, with everyone sitting around having a few drinks. If someone comes in on speed then they're not really going to be welcome.
-
and well done the mod who had to pick through all that cr@p and delete it.

I still think a lot of people were a little harsh on him.
however i did not see this image that is being referred to
-
I often write a lot of gubbins on here, so who was I to comment?
Anyway, I put the boot in to him straight away just to entertain myself and Shobet.
Thinking about it, I'm turning over a new leaf. I think I probably come across as a purile idiot on here most of the time. I'm going to be more sensible with my posts in future.

Thankfully it's over now.... (GROUP HUG)

That's admins, not mods. All we get are sticks and pointy rocks!

It's a shame he couldn't just enjoy the forum. I was looking forward to hearing his thoughts on the Miracle Man he ordered, even if he had the place all tagged with graffiti. This is one of the few places online that I can get good, humble advice on gear without getting sucked into who's King of the Forum. The BKP forum is very well rounded out. You can be "wrong" and seventeen 14 year olds don't come out of the woods screaming misspelled words that end in z.

Unlucky you should ask for more priviledges!
