Attn Ray Dahvectac and Wholigan

And
As you can see I have been 'un-banned' and no Ray, I am most certainly not 'Equitable Mabel!' If you had read my post and taken in what I had said in this thread before it had been removed, then you may have understood what I had done. By 'bumping' in the other threads, I in fact moved them up the listings thus removing Equitable Mabel to page two. I was just as miffed with him as was everybody else. In fact, one of the posters on this thread had even suggested that it be done.

I thought I was doing other PPRUNE'ers a service. I then found that I couldn't log on and I guess from your quote above that you had me banned? If so, as I explained to PPRUNE Admin, I only had honourable intentions. May I suggest that if you want to ban someone in the future, that you take the time to understand what it is they have done and more importantly, why.

Welcome Back !

May I be the first to welcome you back. You're right, someone did suggest it, I personally thought it was a damn good move on your part.

Safety_Helmut :ok: :ok: :ok:

Well done mate, although I didn't get it at the time, you done good!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pilot Pacifier - may I suggest in turn that the use of the "Report this post to a moderator" link is a more effective method of having a pain like "Equitable Mabel" - and their posts - removed.

Unfortunately, when you do what you did (admittedly with hindsight in helpful mode), and your multiple posts get reported to moderators as being a pain, as we do not possess yet the ability to psychically divine exactly what the intentions are and only see someone flooding the board with what are (on the surface) inane posts, then guess what happens.

Sorry to have banned you in error (again with hindsight). Welcome back.

Pilot Pacifier - Sorry mate if you were 'banned in error' but I do not have some crystal ball or Derren Brown-like ability to read words of explanation after they have been removed! :rolleyes:

However, I did not "have you banned" nor would I seek to do that to anyone - that is a decision for the moderators here. But coming into this cold and seeing "Bump Bump Bump Bump" added to enough posts to drive me to drink (literally - and thank you for that!) was, I felt at the time, yet another example of spam which should be reported to TPTB.

Had you done the same instead of taking matters into your own hands, albeit with the best of intentions, then your 'banning' need never have arisen. :ok:

Point taken guys! If it happens again (which I truly believe it will not!), I will explain my actions in a clearer manner or report the post to the moderator.

Thank you all for the welcome back! :ok:

I didn't see any of the posts that were removed - I missed the whole episode!

I write to say that reporting posts to the Mods is indeed extremely effective. On occasion, when I felt it appropriate and reported, they acted very rapidly...
