How is a comment on a thread re-dredged by silver me stirring things? i meerly commented that i noticed DUBious was on the watch list as well.
lofty and others interested - from what i have been told here is my take. in may this year when the swearing debate was raging i got round the filter and swore using dollar signs etc, when i got a gentle naughty naughty off admin instead of saying sorry i went off on one and told them to do one, this got me an official warning via pm, it said i was on a warning and i then said ok fair one and withdrew my moan, when we had the server move/tidy up thing a few weeks ago it suddenly appeared (ironically at the time me and a few others were having a bit of a row) i mistakenly thought i'd got it for that and moaned/sulked/went and hid but was then told it had been on since may just not visible to me - others who are on it are on for different reasons that they may or may not want to divulge on forum, it's no biggie as such as it doesn't stop you posting - some forums put you on restriction for such things which mean that admin have to proof read your posts before you can submit, luckily on here they are still allowing us to post although i imagine in the staff room the red light flashes when we press send

Seems fair enough to me that if the forum has rules that are broken, a restriction is put on to make sure the culprit(s) behave again. By the same token though, it should not be indefinite.
I'm quite surprised we've not had the "hippies about us who can't understand that the VW scene had moved on to everyday folk with opionions" Personally I just choose to ignore or disagree with people if I don't feel they are right or their reasons are poor and not conclusive. I'll listen to anyone. Knowledge is power and I'm more than willing to listen and learn.
