It feels like we've all crash landed on an island, and we start to make our way through the deep dark forest, night after night, in search of food and rescue, and one by one, we are getting picked off by an unknown enemy or an enemy within? everytime I look around there is another character missing, is what happened in  Lost? never saw it. Must be going on for nearly 20 posters banned since the New Year.

Starting to wonder who will be the last man standing

I would guess it is a microcosm of what is happening generally.  Whether we will eventually not be allowed to express an opinion not part of the agenda is definitely under challenge.  They are trying it with the press at the moment.  Little bugs like us are purely an irritant.
What do you think the trumpton stuff is all about and brexit denial.  Some big people out there with big fish to fry.

Shocking if banned for anything he posted. Always stuck to his guns despite many an attack.
Had deep rooted feelings on some matters but could never have been accused of hatred towards them.
Hopefully it's similar to The Chasers ban (a verification issue) and he'll be back.

Most of the so-called bans must be down to verification issues
.
https://kyc.betfair.com/uk_customers.html

The process you will be asked to complete is dependent on your Betfair activity and could be for one of the following reasons:

Lack of sufficient information upon registration.
Reaching certain activity levels.
Placing a bet on Australian markets.

Betfair must have tens of thousands of customers why then are customers only on chit chat and politics suddenly disappearing within a month ? No way an organisation could filter through that amount of customers randomly and coincidently the top 10 to 20 regular posters vanish. It's a cull a witch-hunt imo.

Didn't agree with much he said but never saw anything ban worthy - and to be honest why should people be getting banned unless it is libelous etc? Hope you make it back ebulgery.

The Chaser has told us all the answer. Most of these bans have got nothing to do with what has been written, it's because users need to verify their accounts. Whether or not Betfair are cracking down on multiple accounts, who knows?

Betfair CSVerified account
‏@BetfairCS
Are you being told you need to verify your account? Don’t panic; let us explain what’s needed: http://btfr.co/KYC




Some but not all are due to this.Ron has said his details where all fake on the PJ harvey so obviously he won't be back under that name anyway.COX if he is reporting will just keep going until he hits it lucky ( lucky for him no one else )


So if he flags up an account and it's unverified then Betfair have no choice but to suspend the account until it's verified.I presume a lot of the banned people will probably have fake details due to previous bans so that's the ones who won't be back imo.

I'm not saying this is all 100% truth but it's near to it


Some have been banned for short spells like Crippen got one month he said for a comment

money got 6 month i think he said for saying something

So the reporter will get some of the unverified people and some who say something out of line ( well out of line to someone but if it's flagged then they come hunting you )

cos = tell the chaser his gloating is starting to get annoying I think I will get him banned


beattie = why are you claiming the credit for getting all those banned? Sean Rua, Ozymandius,  Rob Dylan and Crags were all my work I'm afraid Mr Cox, I've been digging their holes for months. I do agree that SH, Facts and madbleeder are scum, fancy teaming up with me and getting shut of them once and for all? it's much easier with two. Forget chaser he is a sandwich short and will hang himself.


cox = sorry you are a bit of an optimist with that comment, I can take down the "scum" on my own


beattie = ok fine Mr Cox let me know if you change your mind. Think I will go for the chaser next you are right he is getting annoying



cox told him to do one so he changed his mind

how it must hurt to be told to do one on betfair and youtube in a few days

well done cox fly solo you get no grasses

Beattie no need to get upset because cox doesn't want your help.But if you want someone to communicate from here and the forum banning me would be a bad choice as no one else will post what is said on here when you need a message in.But if i do get banned then i certainly won't be trying to ban others.

Sent to betfair forums

Hello me and a lot of other forum members where wondering why posts keep getting removed for no reason.Then we came across a site that has banned members on it who admit to repeatedly reporting posts even if they are just genuine Chit Chat posts.Their aim is to try and ban everyone they can.I have recently verified my account and still my posts get removed due to the banned members who are constantly reporting them in the hope of more people being banned.The banned members boost they can still report people for no reason even when banned from the forum.Do you think there is anyway we could have a forum that is locked away form the outside or even just remove the report button.

Thanks  Harold

Harmless gentleman who shared his strongly held views in a passionate yet unoffending way.

If a Snowflake took offence and got him banned that's weak.

Maybe it was indeed on more technical/admin issues but that seems an excuse to me.

Shame

Used to enjoy reading his bizarre haikus, into which he would shoehorn his pride at being a homophobic misogynist no matter what the subject.

Do people genuinely get offended by stuff complete strangers write in here? And who cares if they do anyway - no one dies from being offended.

Get some better ideas and a sense of perspective, or if you can't do that, learn to block posters.

As I have mentioned before the people who live in the whitest areas are more likely to dislike people
of different colour to themselves, case in point is Wakefield.Here in Leeds we are multi-cultural and
forward thinking and don't live in the last century.

Anyone who feels the need to claim they ain't soft is almost certainly soft imo. Especially if they add "believe me" to back up the defence of their softness.
