I'm sure we all understand they sometimes have a difficult job and we appreciate everything they do to keep an excellent forum going. However, the ignore button is there for a reason and presumably it would reduce the mods. workload if it was activated by readers who are annoyed by another poster rather than them pressing the report button simply because someone irritates them. The mods may get a false impression if half a dozen users regularly complain about a poster they don't like, when in fact there may be 10x that number or more who welcome that posters' contributions and would not wish to see him banned. Of course I'm assuming complaints from fellow OTIB users is the reason Tommy has been banned rather than something more serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Just my tuppence regarding Tommy. The bloke spends 1000's to go to games and posted his thoughts on here. OK sometimes its obvious he is a tad under the influence but some of the stuff on here makes me think we all are! The reaction to it is what bothers me. I for many years refused to hit the ignore button, however it eventually became necessary as it was clear that some people were simply not worth giving the time of day...Tommy was not one of them! Commute the sentence I say...!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble we had is we had previously given him warnings about coming on here in a shall we say 'merry' nature and posting less than helpful stuff. Infact it got to a situation where we had to put him on mod preview. Tommy cleaned up his act and behaved under that rule. So we let him back out on the forum under the condition that if he went back to his old ways we'd be left with very few options. That's is, unfortunately, what happened. If he can guarantee that he will behave on here and perhaps enforce a self imposed cufew when he's been on the apples then perhaps we can give it one last shot.

Chairman Mao Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 To be honest you'd have to be an alcoholic to spend thousands of pounds travelling to watch City, I commuted back for every home match last season from London and will do so again this year and it does drive me a little insane. Hopefully spending hours stuck in m4 traffic will be rewarded a little more this season!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42nite Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Good call Tomarse Tommy can brighten a dreary winters evening, that's for sure! We just need to get to him before he pushes the self destruct button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRL Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Good man. Maybe he can be given a safe word that people post which ensure he signs out when the beer hits probably too late by then.

Great idea, perhaps Tommy can change his router settings so that it only allows access to OTIB or his device up until 9pm!? Or even better, get the other half to do it and hide the password Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
