Generations used to ask "where were you when man walked on the moon?"
"What were you doing when the Berlin Wall came down?"
"When the Twin Towers fell?"
THIS is one of those moments.
Stunning.

If people know they are going to get a perma ban they might be a bit more circumspect about the stuff they post. Got to be a good thing.
FFS, that was aimed at me and if I was in charge I wouldn't have binned him/her for it.
Sure, I tossed a disagree at the post but that's because I disagreed with the overall post, not being called a foreign fucking prick (that and I wear big boy pants and don't actually allow some random keyboard warrior calling me names to have any real effect on me.) I mean, to be fair I AM foreign & a fucking prick so it's an apt description.
Admin be like:
There will probably be a few situations like this but I've not got time to read the full exchange or understand the history between people.
If there's a post brought to my attention from multiple users who read it in a certain way then I'm windmilling my way in. Car keys are in my hand and I'll make them count.
Block Paul Weller on Facebook?
Good.
Honestly?
His posting style annoys the fuck out of me, but I think you're probably opening up a can of worms moving forward if that becomes/remains a bannable offence.
I think if people (myself included) get wound up/annoyed at someone's posting style/frequency of posting, then the onus should be on us to either rise above it or use the ignore feature.
Personally, unless Sammy (or whomever) is being actually offensive/insulting, then I'd ignore the votes and let it be. Seems to be the least complex solution, and sets a sensible precedent?
Just my brainfart of an opinion though
Setting precedents is why I never wanted to go down this route. Like I said, once we start banning people there's ammunition for people to question why one person is banned and not another. As the high and mighty forum admin, I'll just ignore them and adopt a "what I say goes" attitude. It's a bit sad really but hey ho, this is how this style of running a forum works.
Also, for the record, we're pretty much always run it this way, but arguments in the Spurs forum (about Spurs, obviously) will not be viewed in the same way as, say, a political argument in Off Topic. We all feel strongly about our club and it's understandable, especially after a poor result, that can lead to occasionally overstepping the mark.
The Off Topic section will remain but, at the end of the day, this is a Spurs forum. If you want to express your opinions on anything else then I suggest you find a different website around that topic.
Can we have a hall of fame going forward then to honour the mighty at TFC who have fallen?
I never know whether to censor the word cunt to c**t, or to censor cunt to cnut or even to censor cunt to c@@t.
Bit of a cunting dilemma to be quite honest.
r-u-s-x
thinks it's funny to give me a disagree for this. Be careful you don't cut yourself being so sharp! 
Yeah, people who abuses the reaction system will get that taken away.Admin What about one character who clearly simply x marks people out of some odd personal agenda? Is that yellow worthy? asking for a freind
This is a tricky one. If we use Sammy (who's asked for his account to be closed btw) as an example. It was his posting style that got him a red card. People voted for him a lot because of his relentless posting in various Spurs threads about similar points. I rejected loads of votes because his posts were clearly about Spurs. However, there comes a point when that style of posting becomes an issue.
So how should that be handled? I'm not sure yet.
Maybe we should change the Site name to the Neutered Cock?
Who's multi is admin then? Coming on here, laying down the rules, jeez.....
