Some people have too mch time on there hands...

Who, Colypat or SJ

Moss

Both, perhaps?

If I had to wait to be sober to post, I would never have made it to Bedders.

Here here !!! I wouldn't come out my shell if I was sober all the time

It's interesting that many of the said posters are now plying their trade on the other site.

Nice one "suiging and chavy" never had any words (posts) with you both, but yes well told.

Why should we dig up the graves of persons that are nonconformists . Let them stay where they dug themselves into.

One can ponder the hypothetical question 'If you were kicked out of TV,would you try to come back?'

Some have tried before, some couldn't be bothered I guess and found greener pastures.Who besides the Copy guy is trying to make a comeback?

Well there are some counter arguments, KW, to do with the terms of a ban.

Please PM me "Khun Ping"with your

Yours truly,

Watch out Ping,we don't want to lose you.Kan Win or Kan't Win is being sneaky.

555 thanks for the words of caution, Momo, but I believe KW is making a fair and reasonable request. There is nothing in the rules that prevents me from discussing moderation issues by way of PM - and in any event, what I have to say is not all that contentious; I have said the exact same things before in the 'Banned Posters' thread without anyone raising their eyebrows to an uncomfortable level.

I would be most pleased to oblige, KW, but forgive me if I don't attend to it immediately, since I am well overdue to be counting sheep.

Nitey nite then sweet dreams.

Thanks Momo - goodnight.

'Discussion of moderation issues, actions or moderation policies concerning individual cases are not allowed in the forums.'

The line above is self explanatory - in the forums is the distinction. Most moderators myself included will explain a decision with the person affected if it is by PM and politely worded.

The mods will not discuss decisions made by other moderators or that affects other members - this is reasonable because the mod asked may not know all the details of the situation.

Sometimes members have asked me questions about moderation in general or specific questions. Since becoming a mod, I have taken the view that I will take the time and make the effort to explain my actions and that my actions should be accountable to the members. Any member who I have suspended is sent a PM with an explanation why and made the offer to discuss it by PM if they believe that the penalty is incorrect.

Mods are human the same as the other members, sometimes we make mistakes and I have removed a suspension that after discussion with the poster I agreed was unfair. We try to do a good job and with experience I think we get better at it. Sometimes we get a bit gun shy and other times we get trigger happy but most of the time I think we do pretty well.

Open Letter to all "Bed-lam" members...............

Dear Khun Ping,

I am "Kan Win", "Win" or "Kan" and please do not refer me as "KW" thank you, as this poster is on the other side and a good photographer as well, so please no more "KW" if you all please.

The Colonel, Kan Win

You are a champion Mod CrowBoy and deserve a medal.We are all accountable for our actions in one way or another,taking the time to explain things is good of you as people do get worked up when things get out of hand and feel they have been treated unfairly.

I like your style.

May I just add a very serious point here. I think the mods do a great job under sometimes very difficult circumstances. Well done mods!

And if anyone thinks I'm taking the micky, may I just add, I'm not. Of all the forums I'm a member of (apart from the one where I'm a mod! ) these are the best collection of mods I know of!

I thought I would have been in with a chance of an honourable mention after I closed The Last Word thread

That had people going for a while

Don't go there girlfriend

I always wondered. If somebody is banned. Are they banned for life?

I've always wondered if they are Buddhists, are they banned in the next life also?

When a person is banned they cannot return to the forum, so yes it is for life. If they come back under a new nick and it is discovered that is banned immediately even if the new nick has no warnings or suspensions.

The Donz wasn't trolling though, that was his real life!

I think there is one to many 'r' in that if your're thinking of Donz

As for Trolls Tonyleung was a pretty good for a laugh troll as he kept geting his facts mixed up.

Who reckons Blizzard was a complete nutter?

Sorry, but then here's another one back again for you:

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showuser=59662

I see a legendary name has just cropped up in a "Pub" thread.

BudZumwalt - was he a troll or just a character?

Even trolls get the blues.

Who reckons Blizzard was a complete nutter?

Dat b rite.

So if this YAWN character is a newbie how can he have access to Bedlam?

As to Blizzard being a troll,poor guy was just naive,uneducated,verbally challanged,illiterate or all four.

Yawn is not a newbie... it's just the latest reincarnation of the same old troll .... and in need of more "disruptive" post deletions and banning by mods/admin.

He doesn't have access to Bedlam.

Perhaps those who haven't already seen it should have a read through the 'Banned Posters' thread: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=164175

"Last seen: Private" just means he's logged in as invisible, nothing to do with Bedlam. If he had access to Bedlam then there that would mean there is something seriously wrong with the forum software!

I think the point being made is that he remains a member ( of TV, not Bedlam) yet has been banned on multiple occassions and is also openly stating that he will immediately reinvent himself (again) once he is banned (again).

My mistake,I thought 'Private' was the Bedlam forum.You should be able to deduce who it/he/she is via IP address then.

Nice disclaimer Ping.

We must be at cross purposes, I thought SBK was referring to the troll Yawn. Apols to you (Momo) and SBK. I assume Bedlam is only called a private forum because of the post count requirement - so it is a 'conditionally' private forum, I suppose - whereas, for example, the Mods forum is fully private; you have to be a mod/admin in order to gain access. The person who was lurking privately could only do so if he or she has the required post count, since Bedlam is invisible to those who are not qualified to enter it (whether they are logged-in privately or not).

Actually you are right Ping,I was referring to Yawn.
