You speak the total truth, he doesnt have to justify to us why he banned someone
I personally think you just agree with the majority to be liked, LiamD. You're always doing it. 
IMO Ian should explain. Yes it's his site but the members make the site what it is not Ian on his own, even though you do a good job Ian mate

Many things annoy me, like not trimming quotes. If they annoy me sufficiently I'll do something about it, but not until.

And some people do now, and some people are still to do this as a rule, and I'll continue to make the point until they do.
If that fails I might do some programming to sort it, but asking is easier.
Now the rest of it. You have more than that, right?

Warns are fine until they get continually ignored. I can only repeatedly ask the same thing until its clear that its not working. Dogs would associate being tapped on the nose with what they've done and not want tapping on the nose again, so not do it again. A lot of people who I'm softly softly with don't appear to mind being told, and continue to do it. People are more complicated than dogs.

I have no more to say in this thread other than this site has changed for the worse and will continue to, and it seems sad now to say that I believe Daimo was right back then when he said it had changed. To many smart arse pricks on here trying to make a name for themselves with the Admin, boost their popularity.

And you said I look through rose tints? Everyone didn't get along. At no time in the history of the site has there not been moderation on a daily basis.

There was far less people and it was easier, but it still went on.
Its complicated now and there are as many opinions in this post as there are posts. Some people wanted to discuss it though, so here we are.
So in summary:
Taking an otherwise serous off-topic post is fairly bad.
You will be warned but if that doesn't work usually there's no remaining options but to ban.
I don't have to justify myself but I'm happy to do so.
Earn respect by talking sense not trying to get one-up on the other guy who has been here five minutes as well.
Maybe some other stuff. Help me out.

You've earnt my respect by saying that, maybe people won't be as quick to jump on the bandwagon, in the case of Ross take him at face value, what he says he doesn't mean he is just as bored as the next guy, hence why most of us spend hours upon hours of our days on here, and do you know why we spend hours and hours on here and no where else? Because its the best god damm place to be, the banter is great, the people are what makes this place the success it is, take that away and you have and carbon copy of every other car related website out there, where you have to wait 3 hours for a reply.
I don't care if someone calls me gay in thread I've asked a car related question in, as long as I get the answer at the end of it, I can take it, as Ash pointed out I like to dress up in German uniform and pretend to be part of the Forth Reich someone calling me gay on here doesn't offend me, and it should'nt offend anybody else, its words, not actions.
Lets make love, not war.
