Any HPCers on here?

Seems I've been banned from posting or sending PMs without warning due to not staying in line with the HPC consensus. Or at least that's the only explaination I can think of.

Could someone kindly post in the About housepricecrash.co.uk forum with the subject name as my user name, and ask a moderater to check my account? Pretty please! :beer:

    It could be because you made a slightly bullish post?

    No bullish posts before the 'ban'.

    Other than one nutter who labels every non-bear a troll, obsessively lists these users in his signature and can only post a sarcastic smily in response to every non-bearish post, I don't think I've offended anyone.

    I was glad to see the back of you on HPC to be honest. You're pretty annoying :p

    Anyway....

    Seeing so many people on HPC wallow in self-agreement was half the reason I started posting some opposing views. It was becoming unhealthy. If even moderate bullishness is no longer acceptable on HPC, I guess it's not a forum worth bothering with any more.

  • I was glad to see the back of you on HPC to be honest. You're pretty annoying :p

    I am indeed. I also happen to be right most of the time.

    Bullish, and right...... Not a combination HPC tolerates for very long.

    Which given the fact that you and I post many of the same articles and viewpoints, you have just found out the hard way.

    It was a lot healthier before they banned all the other bulls. Did you think that because you don't like the fact that prices are rising, you were somehow immune?

    2009 was a disaster for these guys, many unable to accept it - which I guess could be the reason why any bullish posters are now automatically banned.

    I know that you are normally quite bearish, so they must be getting really strict (or angry?)

    Maybe you could re-register a new account, something like Turnball2010 so everyone will remember who you are?

    No troll status. My last post was in the North East/Whitley Bay valuation thread, mentioning the price fall of 2 bed flat since 2006 funnily enough.

    Weird.

    Maybe they've just muzzled you, as visibly trolling all the bullish posters last time provoked such a sh1tstorm.

    Hey Turnbull! Remember me? I was GlendaLongLegs on HPC, the landlady from Brixton who was always asking if you wanted 'extras'.

    Happy days.
