So can we not even mention that (cough)snal fan wot has been expunged now?

Clarky9's tipping thread has disappeared too.

I've idea who the op is referring to... But there does seem less whining on the forum today.

Clarky's thread was removed because the title mentioned the name of the above accused.

And yet mesmerised's Premier League predictions for 24/25 thread remains

Try harder

if he has gone thats a real shame.

whoever reported for whatever reason should be ashamed

1,01 mes is already posting under a different handle.

He'll show himself sooner or later. Probably after he's had one too many sherbets.

I agree with you Dragon but the young man did go completely off the rails, almost like he was asking to be kicked out. Frustrations with something else going on or perhaps just time of the month? Only mes knows and he cant say for I'd imagine at least a year.. I'm gonna miss being ignored

he had a good knowledge of football and it was always worth reading his informative posts.

real shame he got involved in some of the ridicoulus and childish banter with other posters

You don't get banned for banter.

For once I agree with Emitdeb, mes's final post to chitchat seemed designed to get him banned.

i didnt see that posting so no idea what went on , but my comment is valid too much silly banter trying to get on over other posters in general, just not worth it and infantile imvho

I agree, I’ve only been on a week and first few days I was felt about as welcome as a poo in swimming pool. An now I actually feel partly responsible for Mes getting banned even though I did nothing and I feel like there are some who no matter what I say or do will hold that against me

People need to just grow up. It’s worse than infant school playtime

agreed lets move on and talk about what matters -getting an edge on the betting front whatever the sport

i mostly do football ,cricket and horse racing, dont bother with much else as i have limited knowledge, will have a dip at the darts and golf in the top tournements

I feel like there are some who no matter what I say or do will hold that against me 

Get a grip woman! Absolutely nobody cares!

I hope that’s not a euphemism

Get a room, you two.

I know Norberts tricks and I'm not falling for it...

I only look in now and again but he always seemed a decent chap. Shame some folk have to resort to telling tales.

spot on glasgow

I also never wanted to see mes (or anyone else) banned from this forum.  Gonna miss the banter and the crappy predictions and the meltdowns.

Yes, I agree. Mes was interesting and added as bit of colour. As I said on the deleted thread, I don't know why individuals who can't take the banter bother to frequent the forums, if they are so precious they need to get others banned.

You don't get banned or even have posts removed for banter.

Come on Norbert!...

please be aware this is a forum, not a school playground. Although, we do take breaches of our terms and conditions seriously, we are unlikely to take any action against posts which do not breach our terms and conditions and merely amount to heated debate and/or forum banter!

Grandad Nob went crying to admin because he can’t take a beating

Take a beating?

Senility also an issue

Thats weird a post of mine 'mentioning' arsenal has been expunged from this thread. This place really is getting more and more pathetic - one of the forum snitches is def an arsenal fan!

why would anyone want Mesmerised banned

He was one of the main people keeping this place just about going.

If anyone had issues with him there's a block option isn't there?

Mes was banned after he posted a graphic gynaecological themed post on chitchat's tennis thread.

If you ask me, he wanted to get banned.

I thought the tennis forum was just 6 guys in a megathread. Can't believe moderators have looked in there for years.

Oh I read that wrong, so it was in a thread on this forum?

LOL. You can't even mention posts have been removed

arsenal 3-0 up mes be pleased

There is someone with a direct hotline to customer services amongst us (must be getting right on their nerves).. Absolutely no sense of fun... imo.

I'm guessing it might not be Norbert...

I only ever report posts which are defamatory towards me.

The speed at which your "39 year old virgin living with his Mum" post was removed leads me to believe someone does indeed have a hotline

... I've narrowed to down to a list of 1...

oops too many to's 

I've narrowed it down to a list of 1...

was reported for off-color, but true, remarks about Moroccan brown hatters and child labor and was sent a snooty email. replied saying if i get banned i will remove my full balance and leave their in-play correct score markets looking like a ghost town. Reckon banned = pottless.

I strongly doubt there is active moderation anywhere on this forum beyond maybe someone reading thread titles here and there.

So if it had been on the tennis forum, he would never have gotten banned because we don't do snithin' there.

For what it's worth, I think mesmerised is a loss to the forum. He provided a lot of useful info, especially on tennis.

For what it's worth, I think we all feel the same...

I might set up a petition to get him back on here.

I was barred once.  Not banned because banning would suggest I was informed of said ban and why.
That never happened.  No advice from bf whatsoever.
Who the coward was I don’t know.  What I said was never advised.
I waited a week and looked in again still no access.
Can’t remember when I tried again but, again, with no advice of same, I got back in.

No one should be bared or banned without reason. If anyone ever wants to speak to the mods just email.... forum@betfair.com

You just put your foot in it, Nobby.

A while ago there were login problems that stretched for quite a while and affected everyone. Are you sure it wasn't that instead of a banning or barring?

Only those that never log out or close their browsers were posting during those weeks.
