@Grocer_Jack is in the cooler, for not being able to resist the temptation to try having the last word.

Yay for having the biggest stick in the yard.

And, just to prove that I've got the biggest stick, Grocer_Jack and Jean987 are now permanently banned for being the same person.

He really did think he could have the last word.

I definitely think I could pull off that look.

MadOne banned for being KempGuitars in a poorly-fitting disguise.

The Vote Diane Abbott thread has been removed. Firstly, it’s political advertising on Election Day. More importantly, forum members aren’t allowed to use such language about each other, so they certainly can’t use it about members of the public.

User Manc_ge_tar banned for being someone else

These people banned for being each other:

Jalapeno

Timmyo/Camf dispute closed and exiled

Lardy's out of the cooler after an extended break.

Removed fox/dog thread - there may have been a valid point to it, but the end result is going to be rage from dog folk and inappropriate jokes from others, and then we'll all go round again.

Comments removed from R8 thread.

Fendermadlewis has decided to leave us. I’ve restored some of the content that he pulled before leaving

Bridgehouse

Budgie and capo4th are both in the cooler for a week. 

A few things can be learned from all of this.

Politics and Economics may be a little more liberal in its moderation, but it isn’t a free for all.

Calling someone a nonce is a no no. Honestly, it’s just distasteful as an insult. 

When asked to do something by a modmin after an official warning we do like people to actually do it - rather than whinging or acting all surprised and innocent. 

Retracting a statement means editing your post - not just saying “yeah I retract that”

Finally, if you persist on acting like you are in a playground then then modmins will:

a) take your sweets away,
b) bang your heads together, and 
c) make you sit on the naughty step for a week

Budgie and capo4th are out of the cooler.

We don’t allow price criticism in For Sale threads. 

We don’t like it when members to insult other members or members of the public in open forum. 

We don’t allow members to continue arguments across threads. 

We don’t like it when a member repeats behaviour that they have already been warned about.

 Fendergibson is in the cooler so he can contemplate these points 

Jalapeno

Deleted duplicate Fender fine thread by Olafgarden (at his request)

Jalapeno

FS Thread for LP clone with partly sanded Gibson logo exiled and user warned

Roland

StanleyAccrington has committed the crime of creating a second user ID. Both he and his alter ego have left the building.

Jalapeno

Moved Streatham terrorist attack to P&E - It has morphed from "Blow me, that's around the corner" to a debate on terror sentencing and hanging

Roland

The For Sale thread for an Allparts Telecaster neck has been removed. It has a Fender logo, and in consequence UK law classifies it as a fake. For more information read this thread http://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/120189/no-fakes

Roland

The “WTF has Trump done now” thread has been closed. It has received more flags than I can be bothered to count. There’s also a number of offences which have slipped through un-flagged. 

Since this is a guitar forum the moderators’ time is not going to be wasted on tidying up after the children.

Roland

The “Philip Schofield” thread has been closed. Another case of too many flags for a non-guitar thread.
