Has his Drago-ness really left the building (again)? If so...?

[Kempstonian]

It's always the good ones that go, just for once it would be nice if it was one of the real nobbers

No chance. I'm staying. Deal with it!

 

[Kempstonian]

I hope Drago comes back.

 

[Crackle]

He can't come back now he's posted a blog post saying why he's left. He'd look bloody foolish if he came back after that, especially as I've copied it in case he does.

That reads a tad nasty, was it meant to?

Interesting to note that quite a few people on that thread don’t post anymore and no one paid any attention.

Nah, tongue in cheek. I'm always slightly amused at the where's Drago threads. This is actually the third one, hence my Beetlejuice comment. I'm bemused by his pulling power but clearly he's got it, however, his blog post seemed pretty final. That's the trouble with blogs, you can't pretend you just nipped out for some air.

No, he's not. It does require a lot of determined effort to get even a short ban.

That wasn't true a couple of months ago. Just five warnings in a year resulted in a site-wide day ban. I thought it was automatic (and not quite optimally configured).

He has appeared in another cycling forum.

5 warnings is quite a determined effort, IMHO. Most members never, ever get even one.

That would not leave many people on here.

[QUOTE 5573341, member: 9609"]5 in a year - i'm going to have to up my game, I still havn't achieved one

by 'day ban' do you mean as in daylight hours ? I would have thought after beer-o-hour would be better targeted

at @mods whats the most popular time of day for errant posts ? and has there ever been any studies into the fullness of the moon ?[/QUOTE]
Would have thought the best time is when the pubs close. People who hide behind made up names get a bit braver.

Well, there are 43,000+ members. I doubt most of them will even post again, so I think that's true if misleading.

It's easy to get five warnings in a year:
1. Post daily in the news forum as a centrist democrat but neither labour nor conservative (this gets you LOADS of reports from party supporters complaining of a wide range - some will stick and a few a year will get a warning)
2. Be a wobbly/gimp unhappy with BC's ongoing treatment (this seems to upset BC members but they report you more than they seem to pressure BC)
3. Object to hi-vis promotion (that was "inappropriate content" oddly enough);
4. Stray from describing one's experience of this site into discussing the moderation policy which I am determinedly not doing this time!

24 hours from when the mods notice IIRC. I'm sure if you ask nicely, they'll give you one...

The filters , such as they are, are the filters made by the many posters that complain about seeing unsuitable content on CC.
That's often a judgement call, not things covered by hard and fast rules.
Please remember that the Mods are not full time staff members - we're volunteers, and we tend to act as a team.
At least 90% of moderation is reactive - we act on complaints, or (rarely) if we see something while we're using CC ourselves.
@Drago hasn't been banned and I hope he comes back soon.

What a pity that people chose to complain to the mods rather than to the poster, giving that poster a chance to voluntarily delete his/her own post before incurring the wrath of the moderators. I actually find that a little bit cowardly.
