Thats not very good. I wonder if the moderating team are aware if someone has their settings set this way...........if not then it would certainly explain why he didn't get warnings. To be honest the whole concept that you can turn off admin and moderating team messages on a forum seems absurd.

I'm still very concerned however that happy seems to have had so many warnings directed at him when nobody else has had even one. Has anyone else had a warning about lowering the tone of the conversations or bad language?

I wasn't aware one COULD lower the tone in this thread :rotfl:

I've never had one and also I was under the impression it was 3 warnings and your out, and that the second warning(The yellow card) was a short suspension,Happy didnt get any suspensions, just banned:(

A special post from my "cyber son";)

"It's taken me hours to catch up and the bickering on the thread resulted in me asking my sis to post something on my behalf. Sorry it was just a brief post as I didn't want the moderators thinking that my sister was typing on my behalf and resulting in her being banned also.

I'd like to thank everyone for the tremendous amount of support shown towards me. I can't believe how much fuss (good and bad) has been created over 'little' old me.:o

A few of you are aware that I have no wish to return as I don't want to be somewhere where I'm not welcome, even the people who don't want me here are lurkers who don't contribute to the thread.

Regarding my email to MSE, people are correct when they assume that I did it out of shock/as a knee jerk reaction. I also did it to make sure I wouldn't be allowed back. However, I'm pretty sure that discussing other members PM's on the open forum is a banning offence. It's nice to know that there is one rule for them and another for us. Also, I could have swore that I put more information in to the email than was put on here by the forum team. If not, then I would like to clarify that I have NOT had any warnings about my language from the forum team. The only contact I have from MSE was from MSE Andrea 2 or 3 months ago when I was posting the jokes. The first email I got from her was informing me that it "wasn't a chat thread and to cut back on the chat". I ignored this message and a couple of weeks later she contacted me again saying pretty much the same thing. I responded to tell her that the title of the thread contained the word 'chat' and that 8 out of 10 people wanted the jokes. I then went on to ask if she had a problem with me? I then web further to say that I would stop the jokes. Andrea never replied to me. One thing has just occurred to me whilst typing this and it could be the reason I meet received ANY of the many warnings I'm supposed to have had. I'm pretty sure that in the 'User CP' there is an option to turn off emails from MSE and Forum Management. I'm pretty sure I may have turn this off due to a bad experience I received on another forum from the mods etc. If the forum team are worth their salt they will investigate this further.

I have always said that if ANYONE had a problem with anything I have posted then to let me know, either on the thread or by PM. That way I could remove the offending material and offer a personal apology. Because of this I was quite disappointed that MMW felt she had to report my jokes rather than come to me about it. I would like to make it clear that I had, and still don't have any animosity towards MMW. As as I said on numerous occasions, everyone is different and was more likely to offend someone as opposed to please everyone. I have a great deal of respect for MMW and I feel people were rather unfair in attacking her. At the end of the day all MMW wanted was for the thread to return to normal so that it wasn't closed and that no one else got banned"

thanx nikkilala

I want to add my voice to asking Happy Chappy to come back. This thread is a family, and he is like the warmest part of the heart of the family, I had many a chuckle at his posts.

Great Idea!!!

HC, you are a fun guy who will be sorely missed from this forum. You tell a cracking joke and take it very well when people (including me) take the mick out of you and your eccentricities.
Fingers crossed that things work out for you.

if you find any andrex on the go,over your way make sure you scan it first as i found a new strip and it was 25p :eek::eek:

well a very frustrating day for me thanks to t's Grrrrr

Thanks to mymerrywidow for your help as you were in the same position as me last week.

i was over charged a while back and instead of refuning my dtd back to me in 1 transaction the SA gave me 2 transactions for the difference! so ive checked my bank and ive only received the one payment!!
ive now spoken to HO 4 times the store 3 times my bank and visa and made the 40 mile round trip back to the store with my bank statement and receipts and i still havent got my money!!! GRRRRrr

They have given excuses like ive had my money so not getting anymore, it was christmas so all the banks are slow!! even thought this was last week and im sure im not going mad and we are in the new year! and finally they paid me my money and i have got to wait 28 days for it to go back into my acccount!!!!

ive got to wait for it to be investigated now apparently even though myself, my bank and HO have all traced the payments and i have definatly only had 1.


on another note i left that store and went to one i know to be a lot nicer and found those snow globes but they scanned at £8 and i found my first fly killer stickers! a full clip strip with a lovely sel for 1p!!

Yup sometimes u have to shout a little louder to get heard but it is never on purpose. Usually conversation is so intense and fast moving even the regulars struggle to keep up .... Especially the oldies j/k!!
