Surely threatening banning or discussing the issues are best done over PM. Threatening banning posters on threads (I think you've done it a few times although I could be wrong) doesn't make you come across that well and it's not something I've seen The Law, Poncey, Eddie etc ever do. Only really you and Anton.

Was it you that set up the rival forum and took a load of posters across but loads came back as people started getting warned and banned and when challenged the fella that started it more or less said it's my forum and I'll do what I want too?

Put your enviable power to good use and ban that goon who refers to Haye as Daffy Duck about 300 times a month instead.Jumped up little mods are just wannabees whose only power in their sad empty unfulfilled lives comes from stopping normal people discussing things on the internet. In this thread Gilgamesh has conformed to that stereotype.

That said this thread was probably a more entertaining contest than the actual fight is gonna be.

Giglamesh is a well respected poster on here and has established his credibility over a number of years and thousands of posts before he took on the thankless task of being a moderator.

In the words of the big lad from The Wanderers, 'Leave the kid alone'.

Maybe he has but that doesn't excuse him pushing his weight around for no reason does it ?

You didn't ban him because you had no grounds to do so. Maybe you just woke up with a bee in your bonnet - it happens.

I was in a fine mood. I was just trying to moderate the damn forum and keep duplicate posts from popping up all the over the place. Especially when it was a duplicate post of a stupid video that sucked in the first place.

You've got to be consistent though. Personally I don't think posting a video 3 times constitutes flooding the forum. Like I said before, deal with the daffy duck idiot who comes out with the saame shite time after time before dealing with well meaning posters like the OP.

We'll have to agree to disagree - no damage done. My apologies if I was too quick to criticize you.

With regard to Daffy Duck, some clown called "asdfjkl" constantly disparages Haye and for some unknown reason refers to him as Daffy Duck. There was a whole thread about it a couple of days ago. Admittedly I'm a Haye fanboy but I think the general consensus on the forum is that this kid oversteps the mark.

I didn't set up a rival forum. I've banned virtually nobody, and rarely threaten to ban anybody. I was doing so in this case because he kept posting the same thing over and over. You're probably right that it's something I should do via PM.

Im a boxing fan, then an MMA fan. There is a lot of animosity shown towards McGregor on here understandably, so to a degree I am fighting his corner a little, as he's actually a decent fella if you scratch below the surface, especially watching that video rathe than just dismissing it was irrelevant because he has no chance against Floyd. He's an elite level MMA fighter, and for that he gets my respect. But yes, he's bringing a tennis racket to a gun fight
