berettaman1 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Ok , Whats going on now with PW? I have just been informed that Tony (OUTLAW has been banned from the site untill 10.33AM year 2281?? now if this is correct, Why was he banned? by who, If he is banned for 273 years how can we wellcome him back?,This must be a mistake by one of the mods surely? Power is often abused in the wrong hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 probably because in the months that he has been here his posting takes up 99% of the bandwidth and no-one else is getting a word in edge-ways! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I am also pretty sure that if he has been banned for a good reason, no-one else on here has the right to know why, or by who. and i seriously doubt that it has been one persons decision - these things are often discussed at length before anything takes place, so i doubt there has been "an abuse of power".

berettaman1 Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) thats OK in theory, but he has been banned for (273 years?) and has not been told why? surely thats an abuse of power? unless some clever PW member has been messing around (Hacker?) and its not the mods?. :no:Edit What now is going to happen with the charity shoot at Drayton? as this was organised by Outlaw seems a worthy cause will now lose out, certainly in his many posts he was allways trying to help PW members out, seems a shame to me.

J@mes Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 you may find that 273 years is the maximum banning length, so its been set to that. if he hasnt been told why, and it is geniune, I am sure he will be told - the mods may be waiting for Teal to give the story, or something similar. As a mod on Peugeot Sport Official Owners Club (and it is official, endorsed by Peugeot) I can tell you that things like lifetime bans are not taken lightly. as said, usually discussed at length with details of all the offences included in the discussion to reach the verdict.

Floating Chamber Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I too regret the assassination of this valued member. Highly entertaining, helpful and informative, he has probably been instrumental in the prevention of many a ban by his PMs to people with his 'calm down', 'I would edit that, if I were you', and the like. 'Outlaw' is dead. Long live Outlaw (and Calam.)! Time, I think, that I should hang up my decoys. FC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berettaman1 Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 After speaking to Tony he has been informed now of his Crime? So I know now what its all about. Unfortunatly the mods have also made Calamity Janes PC inoperable?that doesnt seem fair to me, no one can complain that she has ever posted too much on here, or made abusive posts to anyone.Oh well , All We need Is Radio Gaga!

J@mes Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) IP banning stops the offender re-opening an account under a new name and email address. unfortunately it also stops anyone else on that computer from logging on.

No his wife, Calamity has her own laptop I have been informed. yeh sorry what it does is bans the IP address, so any computer connected to the internet at that location is banned from the site. she will be able to log on at work/ internet cafe/ wifi hotspots etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Cornholio Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) Shame I think they were looking forward to coming to Bisley 08. I have just spoken to Tony. He & Jane are looking forward to Bisley & looking forward to meeting everyone, If he is still welcome! He had promised to lend a generator & some lighting for the event, the offer still stands.

Vegeta Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 He cannot seriously have been banned for posting too much. There must have been an infraction of some sort to cause a life time ban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 saying he may have been banned for posting too much was only a joke! i have no doubt that it will have been much more serious than that, and if it wasnt i'll eat my own fist.

Harley Bloke Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I also have spoken with Outlaw on the phone and I think his ban is due to 'getting a bit over excited' on a particluar topic. His wife 'Calamity Jane' has had her account locked as well, so she cannot get in due to the IP ban from home and when she tries from another location she cannot login due to being suspended - madness as she is a very nice lady who wouldn't say boo to a goose.

Vegeta Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I went back and looked over his posts from this morning and last night to see did he argue with someone or anything like that and most were either helpful or welcoming. Disapointing really, thought he was a good guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
