I notice after scrolling through some recent posts that Pootwo's name is now in black, in other words he has deleted his account.

I hope it wasnt for the comments made by some, particularly yesterday, regarding his postings.

Are you defence or prosecution ?

Was it me? I did try to post an amusing translation of his post because i too thought it was a youngsters text speak. I did apologise and would never take the micky had i have realised at the time he was genuine. It was only after checking his other posts did i realise he might be having problems. How long will he be barred?

[jonah]

Barred ?

[frames to panes]

For swearing.

Pootwo, would be nice if you come back and post again.
It's your enthusiasm that counts.
Lots of members on here can't spell to save there life. That's not important. What's important is your comments, views and your taking part in posting. There's quite a few members that read this forum who never contribute any replies to a topic, probably because they're too shy, who cares, you weren't one of them.
So what if your spelling isn't brilliant, it's nothing to be ashamed of, we all have our own faults, none of us are perfect. At least you had the confidence to post, we all try to understand what you're saying without intentionally seeming like bullies..  Most people on here who post, get knocked/disagreed with occasionally from other members, have the mickey taking out of them, (some more than others), but get their questions anwered and their views and opinions shared with others who are in the same boat.
We learn from one another, we share our mistakes, hopefully we gain some wisdom and some of us end up getting addicted to this site

[jonah]

Amen to that wayne well said .

From whats written i would like to think that maybe a mod could get in touch and have a word, An open forum should be just that ,
we all have our faults and problems

I use to have a speech impediment when I was young, but with it being recognised at an early age I was given one to one lessons by a specialist teacher and the problem was quickly dealt with. I was always in the top 5% at most classes but this speech impediment was a challenge that would have held me back so I was lucky it was dealt with quickly. I never ever look down at other peoples misfortunes in life, probably more the other way, I would go out of my way to help the misfortunate.

What a sad day for this forum when a guy was picked on for something that was clearly not his own fault, like some of you guy's say we all have our faults and we all learn to live with them.

Pootwo was 57 years old so I think he may have well gone through life with having all sorts of crap taken out of him only to come to this forum and have it happen again.

As for admin banning his account well I hope your seriously ashamed of your self to?

I agree he should not have sworn or abbreviated swearing as it states in the forum rules, I also agree that the new forum rules state you must register now with your real name, but this takes the biscuit, there are hundreds of posts with swearing and abbreviated swearing, there are still new members who register with nick names, and all those members are still here, so why have you picked on Pootwo?

I have sent a message to Pootwo to register on the academy, were he will be protected by admin and treated with the respect he and everyone else deserves, he can also register with his nickname.
I am utterly disgusted with the behavior of Admin and would like to hear there views.

[Ian_Giles]

when I read the post of his, I deleted many of the replies that were pointless, I didn't delete the 'interpretation' reply though, didn't see anything wrong with it.

His barring had nothing to do with me though, that had to be solely an admin thing I'm afraid.

As a Moderator I get fed up with constantly deleting swear words from replies on the forum, when you see them on replies, if they stay there it is because I haven't read them, it's not easy keeping up with all the various replies to the many topics.

It's a shame so many have to stick in swear words, in whatever form.
In oral conversation (as against forum conversation) swear words slip out, some people just can't help themselves, they do it without thinking, but with the written word, particularly if you are putting in **** to replace certain letters then you are most definitely thinking about!!!

not very professional is it?
And this is after all supposed to be a professional forum...doesn't paint a very pro image to anyone who might drop by does it.

And no matter your opinions, these are the rules as set out by admin, we are supposed to stick to them, and myself and Trevor are supposed to slap the wrists of those who break the rules!
And admin, who rule from on high will occasionally look in and boot off those who don't stick to the rules.

Pootoo was unfortunate, he has literacy problems and I presume the reason he was kicked off the forum was because he didn't register using his real name?

It wasn't good that his literacy was picked on either, that makes us all look bad.
