It was obvious when the new site was started, it wasd so the Club could have total control over the posters. Older members will probably remember when we were threatened here, that the Club would close this site down if people didn't stop criticising the Club, fortunately, they didn't have the power to do so!

Sorry AFF - I didn't make it clear - maybe they have been given a reason? Darter admitted that her PM facility still works, so its likely she was informed - even if it was AFTER the event...

Okay................So why doesn't the Admin explain to all of us, why they did it and if they gave reasons, so we can put this one to bed for once and for all? Silence from Admin just fuels the fire! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its just the way forums are - remember, the mod (or mods) are only doing this part-time, and voluntary - and this is one way to ensure their work load is minimised!!

Yes exactly, nobody could answer on here when I asked those in charge why HJA was banned from this site. So why should these people get an explanation so urgently?

diffdude 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 So I am banned from the new site for the sole reason that I post to another forum, freemyfc.com? I've only posted on FF a few times, nothing negative. I've been following the Fleet and listening to just about every Fleet match on the internet for over a year now. So I am anti MyFC, so were most of the people here. And no, I got no message, and no response to my PM's on the new forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And before you ask, yes, that probably includes me. Of course there is censorship to protect people, but here? It is funny nobody will answer the questions on the banning, but when people wanted those posters banned here, suddenly up popped the Mods saying they couldn't ban anyone!

Jeff 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Well, I am still banned from the anti MyFC site for no reason. It cuts both ways. Sob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes exactly, nobody could answer on here when I asked those in charge why HJA was banned from this site. So why should these people get an explanation so urgently? Could, or would? OK I did get some response but it was one that skirted round the answer. I just got told he was "abusive" on the free myfc site. No clear answer as to why he was banned on this site. He had behaved himself on this site at the time he was banned. It was clearly a case of 'you've annoyed me one site so I'll ban you from another.' And as Jeff said... it works both ways. If people are going to act unfairly then those people should expect unfair treatment in return. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darter 2 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 What self-serving posts on here! If you read my original post, my objection is to the underhand bit of web trickery that has been used to make it look as if I and two of my friends can post, whereas in fact our posts are invisible. I have now had 2 PMs from David Davis and he isn't happy about it and is looking into it. I know and like David and have met him on several occasions, as well as exchanging emails with him over the last year. I believe that (as I said above) this is the work of the Web Team who have built that site. I have been told by technical experts how such a trick can be built into a site - it is perfectly possible. David will not want that to continue, as it is sly and deceitful. I object to suggestions made on this thread that I might have received a PM banning me from the EUFC forum. I have not received any such PM, and anyway, there is no reason to ban me. People who can't post on freemyfc now might find that it is because they were happy to read what was said on there and then occasionally misrepresent banned members on the MyFC site. I think that is a little different, don't you ...??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quite funny that..:-) Not gone into hiding, just drastically reduced any time on here because the place has been taken over by half witted imbeciles like yourself. As for the matter at hand, as far as I know, no one has been banned on the EUFC site, nor have I received any messages from anyone telling me that they've been banned or anything like that.

If you're gonna be rude about someone, why should I And Mr Rozanski isn't a moderator on the forum, so asking him would be a bit pointless I'd have thought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eufckev 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 IF you have been banned, it would work both ways. As Jeff and others have been banned from your little Free MyFC site, without posting.... please explain? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chris blanc 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 No one's been banned from the EUFC forum, I just checked the banned list, It's empty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
diffdude 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Chris, it's not that we're banned, it's that our posts do not show up for everyone to see. I posted second to bottom on this thread, http://www.eufcforum.com/forum/topic/interview-with-liam can you see it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darter 2 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Once again - we have not been banned, our accounts have been tampered with so that other users of the forum cannot read our posts. This is underhand and has not been sanctioned by anyone in a position of authority. The new site is an official forum of a football club and it is completely inappropriate for the Web Team to do this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hannah 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Still - it's the same principle. You banning people for no good reason on your site and people tampering with your account on the official site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
