    If some flopwit flaphead is caught having a laugh on this forum again, there will be big trouble--- so watch it--- no warning will be issued, no polite pm to tell you off, you just won't happen again--- everyone knows how to post sensibly on the forum, a simple yes or no is usually all you need to post, so keep your fun stuff to an absolute minimum and if you really have to be funny, write it on another forum and post a link to it--- lets just keep this forum boring, surely there is enough interesting and humorous stuff elsewhere on the internet, ---

    Make sure it's not a link to another poker forum.  That's against the rules.

    I have found neildown's posts generally amusing over the past few years, and he is great fun in the forum games.
     
    However, i am led to believe that he has repeatedly broken forum rules recently, despite several warnings, so i really don't see the purpose of this vote as it really wont achieve anything.

    Sky poker have made their decision, and it is between them and neildown!
    So, while i understand people's disappointment, i don't think, from previous experience, that there is any point discussing this here.

    Yes and you actioned that by deleting the post. Following that neil received a warning by email.

    Following that he made a cloaked remark about mods on the forum - no swearing.

    There was an exchange of messages  between Neil and a Sky representative. Nowhere in that exchange is Neil abusive. What he did do was to speak his mind regarding the moderation of the forum. This was a private conversation and not aired on the forum, and Neil stated that he didn't Flame or disrespect anyone. As an example of this flaming a post he made the day before was quoted -  "All Mods get paid "double time" if they delete at least 3 posts a day"

    He was warned that any further occurrences would result in a suspension. Then without warning or notification he gets a life ban. 

    i've sat in many industrial tribunals and this wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

    right out of order imo, BUT--- I have just googled "speak your mind forums" and there are loads of forums where you are actually allowed to do this--- unbelievable!!!!

    I hope he wasn't banned for repeating a famous Pulp Fiction quote involving a robbery and restaraunt scene with tim roth who was asking" everbody to remain calm and seated or there may be trouble!! and their may be gun fire if you did not adhere to his every request!This was a reply to OP,(The question was in the shed as a potential award winning screen play for forum members to add to!) Because "if" that was the reason whilst responding to a potential humourous film (novella in the making) question ? That is buuuuulocks  as he omitted the **** swear words from the quote(+18 site?) and was just adding to the forum.

    The mods were appointed by Sky Rich, it's been his blueprint all along

    I agree with much been said on here, I haven't seen any of the offending posts etc so can't comment but love Neildown's humour.

    Indeed ............... now for the silent treatment followed by the ''we don't have to explain it'' and ''we don't discuss personal matters on the forum''  PAH!!!!

    The problem is that Neil has no recourse open to him now. Sad times indeed.

    We know what there going to say so probably a pointless thread it will be as others have said cant overturn it usual rubbish, i still dont see how they can take his table chat away when he has never abused this i think thats very unfair.

    Hi all

    I think it has already been said on the forum, you will not change anybody's minds by posting on the forum, may I suggest sending a PM to the suits and attempt to mediate between Neil, and the suits?, just an idea :)

    PB, the problem with your idea is, I am pretty sure that Sky can tell the ISP where someone plays from, and, if Sky were to prove he had done this, he would, unfortuntely be banned from the site :)

    YG, I think you may be right, the thread may well be closed, I beleive it is not possible for Sky to talk about individual cases due to the Data Protection Act :)

    Can sort of understand the forum ban although i think it was obviously taken out of context but can we have a reply to why his table chat was banned?  as it was to do with the forum it seems unfair from my point of view to take away table chat

    Hi YG

    I have said above, it is unlikely the suits will answer because of the DPA :)
