Excellent news.
RE: @TheWizardOfIce , he is by far one of the most intelligent, independent minded, entertaining and insightful posters on this forum in my opinion, and a character to boot. This place will be far less interesting & informed without his charismatic (& provocative) presence.
Someone with his sharp wit can’t be kept offline for long, so if anyone knows where he ends up in the near term, do let me know and I’ll be sure to join that forum.
Regarding members who have been banned- if they don't have a moderator/another member's email, how do they go about getting in contact to discuss having their MI6 licence reinstated?
I bet it was the religious thread that did him in, which is ironic. The Wiz destroyed by his greatest enemy - religion.
I didn't know him well at all, but I'd be surprised if he wanted to return after being banned.
Just to clarify:
1) The Wiz is not "no more". He's experiencing a temporary activity hiatus; nothing more.
2) This has nothing to do with the religion thread. Members will not be banned or even suspended based on their opinions. If the Wiz were banned over his opinion in the religion thread or how it was voiced, I myself would voluntarily or involuntarily have gone on leave too, and indeed quite a few other members as well. The Wiz was by no means the only "strong voice" in that thread.
3) The Wiz was temporarily sent "on vacation" after failing to comply with many years of patient, polite and repeated requests to watch out for "bad" language. Occasionally, we all tend to digitally raise our voices; some slip-ups can be condoned while others cannot. We "correct" new members very quickly when they unleash some very colourful vocabulary; we can't have veteran members, no matter how well respected or intelligent, get away with it either, though we usually extend them quite a bit of leniency already. I doubt we can be accused of being impatient or intolerant.
Members have been banned for a lot less than anything Wiz has done, but despite three warnings in his tray since 2016 he loves to flaunt the rules and we have continued to cut him slack for the reasons people have mentioned - he is, on his day, a great contributor, smart and witty. We like to have these kinds of people around here.
So, Wiz can email admin at MI6 and ask to be re-instated. It will then be their decision.
On another note, Welcome Back @IGUANNA!
He just had a very finely-tuned EDIT radar and was happy to call people out. I can see how you’d feel victimised if you’re swimming in it.
Also than k you to @Thunderfinger, @Mendes4Lyfe , @bondjames, and the lovely @BMW_with_missiles for their warm regards upon my return to the forefray. :) Warm hugs and orchestral string swells to you all.
We only have this thread to talk about „lost“ members and its only natural, that member, being banned, were not the most appreciated ones on a whole. So, its just his opinion and he has a right to say it.
Personally, the Wiz never bothered me and I am a happy camper here since we FINALLY lost no Solace, who should never ever be allowed back.
As for Wiz, he never stepped on my feet and could have lived a long life here, as far as I am concerned.
I do have your name associated with posts, I didnt like though. Couldnt say what it was, so never mind. But this is a multi national board and its normal, opinions vary a Lot.
The mods don't easily ban people ( for me, they take much too much time at points) so IF finally somebody is banned, you can be sure, he deserved it.
My comment was not aimed at any one person, merely commenting that if you’re one of those that acts up then you may have felt the wrath of Wiz.
On the plus side, it’s nice to have your own brand of inanity back.
Thank you. :)
And then you need someone to pull the trigger..
Or not pulled. It's hard to know which in your pyjamas
What to do about ones morning glory then?
Leave it to the mods.
This is part of the Mod Team early in the morning:
This is @Benny and myself, also early in the morning:
That's okay...isn't it.
Except for @Birdleson, who has to do laundry, the dishes and pretty much everything else.
