He is on my ignore list too, along with various others I have accumulated over the years.

I'd already wondered on another thread if any of these rules were being broken - don't know if they were though:
2.17 You must not post messages that are vulgar, crude, sexist, racist, homophobic or otherwise offensive. We will not tolerate offensive, immature or unconstructive postings. 2.18 Don't wind people up to try to get them to say something in violation of the Terms and Conditions. It's obvious to other users and to us, doesn't work (we evaluate other posts and wider context when dealing with alerts), and backfires. 2.9 - Respect While you are of course welcome to disagree with other members, we will not tolerate posts which insult, belittle, bait or otherwise antagonise forum members." |

ooh Terry has been merged!
something did need to be done, the amount of threads was verging on ridiculous, I came on here on saturday and practically the whole first page was threads started by Terry - I couldnt be bothered searching through to find the thread I was looking for so logged out again |

I think the merge is for the best - the flooding of the forum was becoming a little much.
Whilst I appreciate you can ignore, the threads are still there - a lot of them quite repetitious and pushing down loads of other threads. Plus the constant bumping of them and re-flooding of the front page didn't exactly help. I think merging was the best way forward really and limits the amount of flooding. |

Re 2.18, well I'd say that it's pretty clear Terry is trolling the Strictly threads and is basically at the windup.
He knows that his spamming behavior in particular, plus other lesser things ( like the randomly capitalised and deliberatelly misspelt titles ( his spelling magically improves in his actual posts ), annoys many posters to different degrees, but he persists, clogging up the first page like at the weekend when interesting topics were quickly going to page 2 while his various often banal questions kept appearing. People are all individuals and some can behave strangely, and don't deserve picked on for that, but to me this is no innocent abroad, he knows what he is doing and very tellingly I understand that this is nothing like his behavior elsewhere on the DS forums where presumably he is acting normally. Moderating can be a thankless task, you are often damned if you do and damned if you don't and whether or not someone actually breaks the total letters of the T&C decisions still sometimes need made for the considered good of the forum. I personally could live with Terrry's many threads, but I can understand the actions against someone apparently going out of their way to annoy FMs. |

He wasn't doing anything any different than he had before so ![]() I don't get the sympathy he is getting from some FMs. He has brought all of this upon himself. If you behave like an arse you will get it kicked eventually |

The mods could have dealt with him privately and created a less provocative and jeering thread title. No one is really questioning the merge, more the insensitive mocking title of this thread. Mods should be above that kind of thing.
I hope their decision wasn't influebced by that ridiculous flounce thread created last night about quitting the forum. |

I have him on ignore for a few years.
Unfortunately others quote him so I do get to see his ramblings, which are the same every year. Brucie bring him back, don't get rid of him. One day Brucie will pass on to the great stage in the sky. Will Terry still want us to dig him up just for him? ![]() Brendan, the devil's sibling who destroys every partner he has on Strictly. I surprised poor Brendan has survived the hate from Terry over the years. Lush this, Sexy that each headline reads like the Daily Sport. Trust me you cannot get lower than the Daily Sport, famous for the headline Hitler Was a Woman! ![]() I am pleased the Mods have decided to give him the public Bitch Slap he so deserves. ![]() I am betting every year he is quietly asked by them to stop and he ignores. |

But in this case as I said this is no innocent abroad and he was effectively mocking the FMs with his thread titles being quite a part of this. Arguably, not entirely inappropriate, and yes I smiled. |

That's a bit like asking the defendant to pop round to Judges Chambers for a quite word in their shell like rather than stand in the dock and face the consequences.

Maybe the mods asked him what he wanted his new merged thread title to be and that's what he picked....?? It does sounds like one of his titles so very likely imho....

Forget the mod behaviour, do posters think it's rude or hurtful to line up announcing they've got an individual poster on ignore? That's the opposite of ignoring. That's saying lalala with your fingers in your ears to insult someone. It's not good for the emotions of the person doing it either. There is a skill in shrugging and letting it go!
I think I ignore Terry more effectively by not minding the guy's many inanities ...not that I'm trying to ignore Terry...

I may be wrong, but I suspect Terry himself accepts that he is banged to rights and if he has issues it certainly won't be with this thread title.
Some folk need to get real, he knew what he was doing and is hardly going to be devastated by the mods adopting his put on title format ( if it is just the mods without any input from Terry ). |

Could LEN Be Accused of Being A HYPOCRITE - Say One Thing Do Another ?
I seem to remember Len saying he was going to penalize lifts next week, not this week or did I hear wrong ? |

No it's more like the judge choosing to walk across the court and slap the defendant because the public gallery are up in arms at the defendant's alleged crime.

I wonder what will happen to this thread? As far as I know it's against forum rules to discuss another poster the way that Terry has been discussed here. Will the thread be locked? Do the mods intend creating further merged threads each time one has to be locked? Should be interesting to watch

Why not just ban him them? Or just merge the threads without a mocking thread title?

It's like a bunch of hyenas ravaging on TerryM22's carcass. Perhaps the mods are being voyeurs.

But tellingly, not on this thread.
What happens if he creates a new thread? Is it automatically merged to this one? If so, is he now some kind of limited rights member? |
