Tony99 is voluntarily on a break. I think his other half found him browsing the classifieds when he should've been putting that shelf up, but I can't be 100% sure.

In fantastic news, Tony99 has managed to successfully work around this problem, and is thus back in the room.

Adi is spending Christmas and Hogmanay in the cooler for abusing other forum members.

@Adi is back in the warm.

Sadly, it seems that Adi doesn’t like the comfort of a nice fireside seat, and a real log fire. 

Instead, he seems to be incapable of acting in a civilised manner and contributing positively to the forum. Instead, he seems to be stuck in a cycle of just simply being a dick.

Oh well, he’s now permanently banned. Don’t let the door bang your arse on the way out now...

Mudcrutch is enjoying the facilities of the newly revamped cooler for a week. 

After repeated warnings about engaging in an argument across multiple threads, there are ways to make your point and ways to not make your point. 

It’s the opinion of the Modmin team that the following ways aren’t wise:

- Repeated flagging with increasing demands on the modmin team
- Telling the Forum Admin to “fook off”
- Calling @Roland “Ron”. 

Of course, the final one of these is most serious, as Roland is clearly not a “Ron” at all.

andy_k has now joined siraxeman in the Tinfoil Cooler, having been warned that this site is not here for the promotion of nutjob conspiracy theories.

Strangefan is on a break at his own request.

Our Classified rules https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/49022/thefretboard-classifieds-rules-v2-0 clearly state that:

“The Classifieds are intended for personal use. If you are a business/dealer contact a moderator to discuss how you could get involved here. Ads that breach these rules will be deleted. Posters that repeatedly breach the rules may be banned.

In our view, and in the spirit of the forum, we define a dealer as anyone who uses the forum primarily (ie you don't get involved elsewhere in the forum or make any other contribution to the forum) as a platform for selling to an extent that it's unlikely the sales are of personally owned, and used, equipment.  This will be our judgement call rather than a pre-defined limit.”

@JonDixon35 either hadn’t read this, or thought that it didn’t apply to him. His Classified access has been removed.

Roland

... and JonDixon35 has been banned for trying to evade his loss of Classified access.

SCRelicguitars is on a break at his own request. 

I think it’s probably worth asking everyone to take a few moments to stop and reflect before posting. There’s a lot of tensions running high across a number of threads at the moment.

Bravewood WTB thread removed. Their guitars are basically high-end counterfeits, and as such trading their instruments is not allowed on this site.

Bridgehouse

Andy_K has been let out of the Trolls area on the promise that he won't post any more controversial conspiracy theories.

After all, this is a guitar forum. You guys do play guitar don't you? I mean, you do actually play guitar, right? We do sometimes wonder if you come here for the arguments and not the guitars...

Deleted some rather random peadophile accusations in Steve Wright thread and left a request to desist in the thread

foxyFuze has been shown the door. A lot of members took exception to being called a “dog shit forum” by someone whose sole involvement was freeloading on the Classifieds.
