Which zone user would like to have banned?

Which zone user would you like to have banned and why? It's got to be a good reason and if you can provide evidence too, that'd be great!

Post 2 by sugarbaby (The voice of reason) on Monday, 02-Oct-2006 8:32:06

sorry but I fail to see the usefulness of this topic. If there's a user you've had issue with in the past then why not simply use the "ignore" feature. starting up a post effectively trying to gain votes for the banning of certain users is not going to earn you great popularity with the masses.

alan, i have to agree with the original concept of this post.

i think you will get some good responses

Well now we've sunk to a new level of stupidity around here, and it was already bad. We've already had people create board topics to try to get certain people banned, and now one where we are supposed to list anyone we think should be banned? No way! It's up to the admins and CL's to determine when someone should be banned, and if you really feel strongly that someone is violating the terms of service, then contact a CL privately.

Hmm only an ignoramus would say that eh. It's impossible to ban anyone from this site, as several members who have had their accounts disabled,simply rejoined under a different name. How often is this kind of piontless bull going to be posted on this unimaginative site.

1. This topic will cause more drama. You should have known that before writing it.
2. Who is getting banned and why is the CLs' decision. I bet you will receive many posts of people who just want user X banned just because they doon't like them.

And this will be the first and the last post I post here.

Well, although i would say, Allan, that this is a thing that should definitely not, in my opinion be on the boards, i will also say that other boards have been, or rather, topics, put on here and that would in my opinion be far more offensive than this one. I will personally not enter that debate. There are people whom we like, or dislike, like in any other community i suppose, but that's something we personally feel. So, well let's see how long it will live hehehehe lol

that's how i thort about it

I agree with most of what has been said about this board topic and iternity is right about the original idea being just a game and i did handle things wrong, i know that now. I know none of you will want to hear an apology from me but you've got it anyway. If i'm really honest, i don't want anyone banned.

As for you, iternity, though you say you thought it was a game, you know as well as all of us that drama is easily started here, yet you egged Alan on, complimented him, in fact. What's the point in this, I ask all of you? I've said my little piece, though I must say, I wasted five minutes of my life reading this ridiculous board topic. I sincerely hope that in the future, other board topics not as idiotic are posted here. I mean, come on now, this is wasting space for other, more mature topics.

Au Revoir, all.

I don't agree with this topick either however i can't help it making the following observation.
Everyone says the topick is pointless however we can see 200 and more views in a period of 24 hours. So Alan mannaged to get the attention and made people to stop and read his topicks.
He mannaged to do something that others didn't mannage to do.
There are other good topicks that don't get many views so maybe at the end of the day that's what people want to read.
This is my personal oppinion.

I agree Nikos. And isn't it interesting how we all say this topic is pointless and should go away, yet we all keep posting to it which brings it up to the top again. Do you people not grasp the concept of ignoring a post and letting it die? If you keep posting, it will stay on top.

maroon five

yuriko

cameron macteapot

donkey occka (not sure i spelled that right, but it's close)

Oh my goodness! Drama drama drama! First of all, you'd think noone would get offended, but I forget...there are those blindies who are so sensitive they gotta be serious all the time. (This is just my observation :))
I love these topics! Because it's something completely stupid and then everyone gets it and turns it into this huge fight and then I get a nice laugh I love this! After all, this is a place to go and waste time isn't it? We all have freedom of speech on this site don't we? After all, we're all friends, I'm sure the person who started this thread was only trying to bring a bit of humor, not to try and offend everyone.
Let's see..as for who I want banned? I think I'll ban myself hahaha! The reason being that if I was a CL, I wouldn't tollerate half the stuff I do. Lol jk!

Post 63 by lawlord (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Saturday, 26-Sep-2009 14:00:09

well well well - so many users, so many lists, and I don't make it on to even one of them? nay, friends, not even an oblique or indirect mention! There would have been a time not so long ago when I would have been mentioned at least once in such affairs, but no more is that the case. Why is this, brethren? Why have you neglected to say that you would quite like to see me banned, what with my constant chat abouw law and politics (isn't he interested in anything else?), about how the war actually started in 1939 (we can't help that our teachers don't know anything!), and about how you're all fools to various extents? Isn't anyone sufficiently hacked off about my referring to this, that and the other as having been around before the US had even been thought of? I refuse, incidentally, to believe that the US was planned in advance. If so, it was a tactical error. I could go on, but the essence of the point is this: I have not made it onto anyone's list whatsoever - not even onto the lists of those who think me the most black0hearted bully or supercillious scoundrel there ever was.

Let me remind you all, ladies and gentlemen, that this topic had an outing in another guise three years ago. It was something to do with the scottish Alan's list and, if I may say so, was far more nicely done.

Why should we be banning people all over the place in any event? Surely there are more important things? Let me give you one example: the BBC are not going to release Series 5 of Judge John Deed in its complete form, because two episodes (namely "One Angry Man" and "Heart of Darkness") breached the corporation's guidelines. They were, apparently, offensive and ran the risk that all jurors and judges would fall under Deed's spell and start acting like him. Why do I mention this now? Well, my friends, the parellel to me is self-evident: all this was fatuous nonsense and served only to deprive us of the best drama that Judge John Deed has to offer (those two particular episodes ranking amongst the best, as ill-fortune would have it). Similarly, all this claptrat banning X, censuring Y and ignoring Z serves no discernible purpose, save to deprive the zone of the best drama that it has.

Not wishing to be unkind to anyone who frequents the zone habitually de nos jours, it has become breathtakingly dull of late. There are fewer disagreements, fewer arguments and even fewer observations. Banter is moribund, urbanity frowned upon and anything that goes beyond the general orthodoxy gives rise to nonsense such as this. Racism, I find, is a favourite facon d'agir for those who require closure of a particular subject. In times of yore, I say, such frail things as form a sizeable proportion of regular users in the present epoch would never have survived in the rough and tumble of conversation that prevailed, in any event, upon my having joined in 2004, and which persisted for some two years thereafter. During that time the spirit was much more cake and ale, hunting with dogs and fighting duals until honour should be satisfied. Today, the spirit that prevails is more like health and safety executives banning the egg and spoon race, of compulsory knitting lessons and of flower-arrangers of the year. To put it another way, one might plausibly contend that the zone has acquired a population of fairies, who are subduing the dogs of war. It's pathetic, my dear friends; pathetic, I say.

Thus shall it continue unless the mavrics are allowed to further prosecute their haphazard, controversial, close to the bone and sometimes offensive business. Flower-arranging and health and safety didn't win us the war, after all. No, sir, it was more the cake and ale spirit that did that.

So, nobody should be bannned. On the contrary, we should be proud to flock to the banner of controversy, lay sacrifices on the altar of argument and consider boring topics as tantamount to blasphemy (or whatever its Islam equivalent may be in this modern age of diversity and equality and that sort of thing). We should toast the terrible, quaff the controversial and throw out the turgid. Damn their eyes, damn their briches, and damn their heels to Putney Bridge. Hurrah!

Ramblings over a glass of port or gbrandy used to be my contributions to the variety of fora on this website before I gave up contributing anything at all. I commend this method to the House.

Post 64 by lawlord (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Saturday, 26-Sep-2009 14:12:03

On reading this topic more closely I do have to respond to a particularly daft observation made by a zoner who, I think I can safely say, would not have counted herself amongst the dogs of war and who would have asked for bread and milk instead of demanding cake and ale. This zoner observes that this space "Could have been used for a more reasonable topic". two points arise out of this: firstly, what is reasonable? Who judges reasonableness? secondly, and far more entertainingly, surely this cannot be correct! if you have any sort of discussion at all, there are bound to be some who violently disagree with it to the extent that their minds are like closed parachutes. WE all know what happens to those who jump with a closed parachute (assuming an appropriate altitude which I take to be a safe assumption as one would hardly jump using a parachute unless one were at a height rendering such precautions necessary). those who jump with a closed parachute, I say, hurtle towards the earth and either meet their death in transit or upon impact. There is no time to negotiate a soft landing, no time to ensure one's survival. Those with an open parachute not only survive, but adjust to circumstances to ensure that the landing is as comfortable as possible. Do you all see what I'm getting at? Probably not as the vast majority are fools of the middle to highest order, but what I am getting at is this: those with closed parachutes are bound to find any jump unworkable, just as those with closed minds are bound to find any discussion unreasonable. To folk like this, nothing is reasonable save the most assonine chatter about speech synthesisers, hamburgers, school, hamburgers, dating, hamburgers, pizza and hamburgers.

I'm in agreement with post 61 by Cumbianbera and with Lawlord that the site and discussions of years gone by were better than now, though the exception was a night earlier this month, when people were getting worked up about applications that assist people with typing 140 characters into a box. That was the funniest conversation I've ever had with people on this website.

As for who should be banned, ban all the geeks! They'll have more time to create apps that assist people with... typing 140 characters into a little box!

Post 70 by lawlord (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Saturday, 26-Sep-2009 17:11:32

Alors mes amis, I would like you from henceforward to classify yourselves thus: tell us, in your posts to this discussion, whether you are of the cake and ale dogs of war, or of the flower-arranging fairies. There are too many of the latter, and scant evidence of the existence of many of the former. Childish? Puerile? Pointless? descending to the level of neanderthals? Such sentiments have been expressed about this topic, and they are words writ in water and of no use to anyone or, if you prefer, hogwash in their own way. The only thing that is childish, puerile and fatuous is banning folk left, right and centre. That is not how a cake and ale man would have it. a cake and ale man would follow the words of Sir Monty Everard in Judge John Deed Series 3, Episode 1. If he found something insulting he would say: "You'll regret crossing swords with me, sir!" and that is how it should be. Instead, most zoners seem at the first sign of something mildly disagreeable to search for their allocated social worker. They are les of the Heathcliff, and more of the Linton; less of the Nicleby, and more of the smike; less of the Captain Osborne and more of the Joseph Sedley. We need more of the cake and ale set on here, I say.

Post 71 by lawlord (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Saturday, 26-Sep-2009 17:18:47

I do prefer the way this was done in October/November 2006 - this hang 'em, flog 'em, bann 'em lark. It was far more vitreolic than the present powderpuff antics to which this topic has given rise and to which our eyes bear witness, as a matter of analogy if not fact, every time certain of the posts are read. alas it seems to mirror the regression in written English and free-thinking that is taking place in society these days. The only difference is that the zone is an acute case, so to speak, where the symptoms are most prominently displayed. the fairies would ban everything if there were a slight chance of offending a daisy.

Post 72 by Senior (I've now got the bronze prolific poster award! now going for the silver award!) on Saturday, 26-Sep-2009 17:19:40

All users who hug each other should be banned!

Post 73 by lawlord (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Saturday, 26-Sep-2009 17:24:18

Senior was a curiosity autrefois: he neither befitted the status and rank of a cake and ale dog of war, nor did he slot into the flower-arranging type. I reserve judgement in the absence of his declaring his own status - an omission which, you will note, was contrary to my injunction above. Why don't people listen?

Post 74 by TylerK (This site is so "educational") on Saturday, 26-Sep-2009 19:08:25

Perhaps, sir, he chooses to not declare his status one way or the other--compare him to the Swiss, who remain neutral in all conflicts unless they are directly involved and are under attack.

Post 75 by Senior (I've now got the bronze prolific poster award! now going for the silver award!) on Saturday, 26-Sep-2009 20:12:10

Don't you dare compare me to the Swiss. I fight when it is necessary to fight. I battle until I win and do not accept defeat when I am right. I am not like the Swiss! I am not the United Nations, I don't do diplomacy.

Getting back to the direction in which I sought to take this discussion earlier on in the piece, isn't it scandalous about the 5th series of Judge John Deed and how the BBC will not release the complete series? Anyone who knows of a way I can get Judge John deed series 5 (including the supposedly contraband episodes "One Angry Man" and "Heart of Darkness") would be a friend indeed were they to let me know how and support their assertion with evidence.

what about everyone of us bann ourselves on zone for a week to boycott this pocket toothpick person? that will work effectively, and give our lovely cls a break. lol

Lol I agree! What if we all could just ban ourselves, hahaha! Wonder what that would do?

Post 82 by OceanDream (An Ocean of Thoughts) on Tuesday, 29-Sep-2009 9:48:31

You could if you wanted. All you have to do is intentionally break the T.O.S. while there's a CL logged in. I'm not suggesting you go and do that, now. If you don't want to be here anymore, why not just...I don't know, not log in anymore?

There is a certain person whom I would love to have banned, but since I can think of no other reason besides said person is an idiot, I will not mention any names. Now how is that for wasted space?

Look please I don't want to have to ask again? where can I get the complete series 5 of Judge John Deed? You know, I'll tell you the irony about all of this: people seem to be of the general view that this topic is a load of bollocks - or rather, that the main theme of it is - and yet they go on talking about it! a chap tries to bring some importance to the topic, tries to bring a purpose to the table, tries to rescue something from the intellectual ruination typified by this sorry tale that now sprawls across some 86 posts and counting, and everyone ignores the said chap! It's so so jolly important that we work hard, and work together, to preserve drama such as 'One Angry Man' and 'Heart of Darkness'. It's part of our culture. It exemplifies the line in the sand between what we now enjoy on the one hand, and the relative savagery of times gone by on the other. Where can these episodes be found? what has become of them? Are they released anywhere where I can get my hands on them? Why is it so difficult to have these questions answered by a human, with all those qualities of sympathy and empathy which make all the difference, rather than google with less empathy and more irritation than a wasps' nest? Why don't some of you try Judge John deed? you really would like it. Martin shaw in the title role is excellent, Sir Donald Sindon as Lord Channing suitably pompous, and supporting characters like Sir Monty Everard classic pieces of judicial satire. Instead of lamenting the alleged waste of space this topic has become, why not give it new purpose and help me find the complete series 5 of Judge John Deed? There are few good Samaritans on the Zone these days de nos jours. As I see it, everyone thus far has walked on by on the opposite side of the road. cross over, my friends, and assist me in restoring to its rightful place these wonderful pieces of television.

hahahahahahaha! In some sort of way, I have to agree. Everyone on the zone has something to offer, and something that gets on everyone's nerves. Here's my list:

* users who have ignored anyone in any way
* users who have been ignored in any way
* users who rate every audio profile without a subject or comment
* users who feel it is necessary to have over 1000000000000000 points in their account
* users who have said any unkind words about any other user while logged in
* users who ask if you're single before asking how you're doing
* users who actually agree with this list

There. If we're going to make lists, why not make useful ones.

Progress on this front is clearly limited. Our australian friend who posts that long bullet-pointed list of dislikes and conditions (which, incidentally, i am delighted to note would have embraced yours truly in their cloak of disapprobation) declines to comment on the issue of Judge John deed. This is not surprising. Nay, I expect no help from that part of the world at present given that England have won the ashes and the Australians have had to make do with the milksop of a one-day series by way of compensation. No, I say, I expect naught from that quarter. However, what of everyone else? It is very important that we teach the BBC that these particular episodes are important.

Post 92 by Stevo (The Established Ass) on Wednesday, 30-Sep-2009 14:32:21

Now, now, we must keep things in perspective here. As far as the important things in life goes, the banning of members on the Zone BBS tops all. No cricket match or series of Judge John Deed, whether it be five or any other number, even compares to the all-consuming debate that is who should be allowed to stay on the Zone BBS. rofl

Post 93 by lawlord (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Wednesday, 30-Sep-2009 17:22:53

It is very important. One of the best episodes of Judge John deed is 'One Angry Man'. let me tell you all about it, as far as I remember it: the civil servants at the Lord chancellor's Department want Mr Justice Deed out of the way because of a politically sensitive case that's coming up. So he is called for jury service. The judges all try and swing it so that he never gets to serve. He keeps being asked to step down from juries before the trial starts. however, he eventually gets onto the jury in the case of political significance. He ends up interviewing witnesses and doing things a juror didn't ought to do. The case came just before the second Damilola Taylor trial at which the trial judge counselled the jurors against adopting Deed's attitude. The BBC felt that their guidelines had been infringed by this episode.

What absolute nonsense! This was martin Shaw at his best. deed was brilliant, and Sir Monty everard and Lord Channing made excellent supporting judges. It's really fantastic folks, you really ought to try Judge John Deed. YOu can get it all over the place now, so there is no excuse for not trying it. meanwhile, I do wish someone would help me find those lost episodes, viz. 'One angry Man' about which I have said a little today, and 'Heart of Darkness' of which more in due course. suffice to say that 'Heart of darkness' I think violated the same rule in that it implied a causal link between childhood vaxinations and a serious medical condition. Not sure which one. anyway it's really getting on my threpenny bits this issue.

Post 94 by lawlord (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Wednesday, 30-Sep-2009 17:27:02

I do recommend Series 4 of Judge John Deed. That is whole and complete. Series 3 is also complete and is likewise very good. It's the one in which we first see Sir Monty Everard, with his quaint way of expressing himself. 'you've overreached yourself, sir!', 'You'll regret crossing swords with me, Sir!', 'Don't presume to instruct me in procedure, I know the form!', 'I don't want him on my circuit a moment longer. Ostracise him back at the Strand.' 'Wouldn't that be seen to be punishing Mr Justice Deed, Sir Monty?' 'Since when has central London been a punishment!'

Makes you want the full set of them doesn't it? alas, the BBC have deprived us of that opportunity. We must resolve this, ladies and gentlemen, for the good of our cultural integrity.

Post 95 by lawlord (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Wednesday, 30-Sep-2009 17:31:29

I ought to have said that the first two series are very good as well, although the third and fourth are certainly an improvement. The sixth series, which is again available whole and complete, follows Deed at a war crimes trial, the latest strategy of the civil serviants being to send him as our representative to the international criminal tribunal on Yugoslavia at the Hague. Does any zoner apart from me like Judge John Deed? surely you are not all proletariat! in any event, the fact that every other episode is available unobstructed compounds the folly of the omission from Series 5 of these last two, fine episodes of a drama that spanned some six years on British television. You don't get this trouble with Kavanagh QC< do you? no no no, the box set of Kavanagh containing all 27 episodes is available without a single bit missed out. Kavanagh QC is well worth watching too, but Judge John Deed is superior and we must have these episodes restored. This is far more important than anything else discussed in this topic.

Post 96 by lawlord (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Wednesday, 30-Sep-2009 17:42:10

In times of yore, I used to go off on longer monologues than this. more importantly, they used to be read. there is a topic entitled 'which zoner would you want to meet?' from somewhere in or around 2006. I have to say that I did not start this topic. In fact, the idea of such a topic fills me with dread, just like Sir Monty Everard observed to the hapless James Brooklands "Then, I suppose the thought of going back to prison fills you with dread. Then prison has served a useful purpose." but i digress. As I say, I didn't start that topic. By the end of it, however, it had taken quite a different direction to the initial one I believe the author had in mind. This was because of such a monologue as this. The reason I mention it now is that it was shortly after Series 5 of Judge John Deed had aired for the first time, in january and February 2006. The night that 'One Angry Man' was shown, I remember I had been in court during the day and myself and the chap with whom I shared a flat in Oxford at that time went to the Oriental Condor Chinese take-away, and got ourselves a fine feast which we ate whilst Mr Justice Deed was doing what he could to evade jury service. Indeed, Judge John Deed (how many times has that been said over the course of this topic now?) may well have been mentioned back in those days on that same topic at some point or other, although my recollection is unclear. What is sad is that my recollection of those last two episodes, without your help, shall remain incomplete. It must be remedied.

lutherk ... well, i guess he's not bad enough to break the TOS i suppose. there's no TOS saying that a zoner can't be rather sexual involve with other zoners... still, get use to the ignore fitures to people like him in no time will be the best action.

as for Robby aka professional got banned... i've no idea why, its rather surprising. could be something to do with what he said on qns i believe, as his recent posts on the board is rather better than some others posters...

I have no desire to ban anyone. It's a site that's open to anyone who wants an account, and last I heard we still had the right to free speech here in U S provided no one was being libeled or slandered or yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater type speech. The one time I put someone on 'ignore' it was by mistake. No desire here and I'm not a moderator to do that.
