Does it not alert you that your 'foe' has posted or replied on a thread, though?

If so, it wouldn't work for me as I'm too nosey. I would want to see what's been said! :oops:

Pondrew, If you get a notification that one of your foe's has posted, that would be counter productive as you said. I believe/hoping that if your foe post, it is obscured so you cannot read it, only if someone quotes that post does it become visible. I'll let you know, I'm hoping though they just disappear into the wilderness :tumbleweed:

If you ban them completely then there’s a high chance they will return under a different username. Then you ban that username, they return again.

So now I have the view that I call it out and fight it out when I see it. Turns out that people don’t like it when we fight back.

If said person continues with his vile posts, I will point it out to a mod and if said mod says I’m not getting involved again the. I will.
I'm going to address this once, as I don't want to get into a debate/discussion about it.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to get into who is worse than who, who deserves a bigger ban etc. I have a full time job and a family, so I don't have the capacity for this.

I have considered this a fresh start, so it makes no odds what happened in the past, just what happens from today.

If you or any of the others want to fight then please have the balls to just PM each other with your whatsapp number and take it off-line. I'm sure the rest of us will catch up with the details of your battle when we read about the big fight on the national news.... or maybe you are all just full of hot air :rofl:

Honestly, this is all beyond ridiculous.... not seen anything like it since I was at school. You all know you aren't going to fight or you would have done it already.

Now, please can we stop with the nonsense and get back to polite discussion and banter :thumbsup:

Sorry, but if you don’t have time to deal with someone who posts racists posts then you need help moderating and should get some people here who would be happy to help.

I am sorry I threatened him. I really am.
I’m not interested in seeing his vile homophonic posts, not his racists posts nor his antisemitic posts. If posts like that are allowed here on this forum, then I have no place here either.

As many people have advised, just set him as a foe. You won't need to see anything.
He is also the only one of the 'three' who hasn't logged on today. Maybe he has learned his lesson?? Maybe he will never log on again!

Criticising the admin is NOT going to help you, mate.
As said earlier, just let it lie and move on.

That's a fair point on the foe thing Pondy, but the crap Ori has had could have been avoided with a permanent ban, the offender made a very nasty personal attack on Ori for no reason other than Ori stood up for himself in the G29 section and had that attack deleted, I saw it, then a full racist 'Joke' deleted, then another anti semitism attack on Ori deleted all within approx a week, how much more has there got to be before action is taken..? In this instance seemingly lots as nothing was done even though posts were deleted, a lot could have been avoided with either a warning or a ban.
