What happened?
Couldn't have been banned surely.

That is incredibly bad news.

He was a good poster and came across as a decent person albeit a tad eccentric but that added to his 'charm'.
|
|
By:
Very surprising imo, don't think he was a borderline banning sort of poster
 Shall be best remembered for posting a thread gloating about renovating his new 5 bedroom house with pictures to follow once the mods approved, in the meanwhile he reeled me to complain about the boasting of his wealth in such turbulent financial times for many people....before proceeding to post the photo of a 5 bed dolls house costing just 20 odd quid  |

I don't recall him posting anything remotely likely to attract a ban. Is there anyone registered on the forums who knows him personally?
|
|
By:
 Cant be banned I used to Try to wind him up ,seemed a decent enough Chap  |
|
By:
He went to the Hospital had a scare ,But said he was ok ,I remember that,

By:
Was his story of painting the bus shelter outside his house that came into my head for some reason then I realised I hadn't seen any posts from him recently.

Could be staying with his daughter in USA....or did she comeback?

The most accident and mishap prone poster on this or any forum, it's almost certain he fell into a hole painted on the road just before a piano was dropped into it.

Mods , can you tell us if he was banned or did a relative close his account?

I am deeply touched to have seen such nice comments and concern. Yes I was banned, a few weeks ago, and at first just thought my posting privileges were denied, but soon found that my account was closed! "Following recent postings made by you within the Betfair Community which clearly breach our terms and conditions, we have had no option but to revoke your Community postings privileges. The Community is an area of the site made available by us in order to allow customers to communicate with each other, to exchange ideas and discuss topical issues etc. We have a responsibility to try and ensure that the Community is a pleasant area for all our customers, and postings such as...." My reply...... "Hi Hannah, I've been on here for a very long time and never upset anyone, to my knowledge! My posts are either helpful or humorous, or both! This one was only supposed to be humorous, and I don't know what T&C it violated! It just seems somewhat harsh, considering it is one issue out of thousands of posts. I know I will be missed as, once previously, when I hadn't posted for about twelve days, people had been speculating as to why I hadn't posted! Anyway, you have a job to do, so I will just have to live with it, and find myself another distraction to waste my time. Kind regards, A Very Upset Aunty Post" Some bad attitude b@st@rd on the Horse Racing Forum had put the boot in, as he/she didn't appreciate some advice that I gave, in answer to a question! Fortunately, like our good buddy Jesus H C, I was able to be reincarnated to my alter ego..... |

Thanks Crisp, you have answered my primary concern that he is alive and well.
It's a shame that one can be banned for a minor misdemeanor after all these years. Another step backwards for the forum. |
|
By:
sounds like a jobs-worth to me, I would imagine they've lost Betfair many a customer over the years by banning them from the forum, casual players but still, they're the ones they have spent so much of their marketing revenue on trying to attract.

By:
Fook me. Its getting ridiculous isn't it?
Let's start making ridiculous posts and report each other. We are all gonna get banned one day. Let's go down together and in style. |

Good to know you are okay AP, we will start a re-instate AP thread.....Make an appeal to Moderators and get them to say which T&C you violated and try to bargain it down to 1 week ban
