Nik da Greek Has been Banned for Life... what a sad sad day for this forum

[Ada7]

Yes as the thread title says Nik has been Banned \'for life\' for, what i can understand, to be standing his ground against NON members and just stating some quite obvious facts about members being on here or leaving to go on FDUK.... supposed \'Repeated anti club sentiment\'!

My personal opinion is that this is a very sad day for the club as Nik is a great character and bring a hell of a lot to the club. He may be vocal in his thoughts at times but never has this been anything but passion for his and our interests in the club and its following.
It was only a couple of years ago that he was being asked to be a higher member of the club and got offered the chance to be a Moderator. He didn\'t take that position (for reasons to do with his family and nothing going on on here) but continued to be a proud and high profile member all because of his love for all things rotary.

So how can things change so much in such time??

For all those that have met Nik you will know he speaks his mind and says things how they are but that he is never anything but honest and fair.
I have become good friends with him over the years which is why i\'ve felt the need to write this post. Usually i wouldn\'t get involved in such matteres but when a friend is involved that changes things. To me the way he has been treated on here, and on FDUK recently by some MODs from here has almost felt at times to be like a witch hunt. Sad and pathetic. All he ever wanted was support from the management to what is after all and paid member of the club.

A sad sad day i say

Not only that I wonder If Mr Garbutts behaviour on FDUK would be tolerated on this forum?

I think not :rolleyes:

I wonder how long before this thread is A) locked/deleted and B) We\'re banned too

:WaveBye

Always enjoyed a bit of banter with Mr The Greek, i think most understood him and could keep up and for the obvious few who couldnt, i doubt all of you would be able to contribute as much as he has or even make me laugh a fraction as much!

If anyone knows the ins and outs, i would be grateful if you could outline the details in a pm to me as to keep this thread clean and in the context as it was formed and i will also say, if anyone who had the "issues" with Nik please also feel free to pm me with your concerns over his character!

I think being a long term member, that the moderators should have organised a poll messaged between full paid members.  To see what there input on his punishment should be. And then use the feed back to work out if his behavior on the forum has upset a minority or a majority.  it is very clear that a lifetime ban has upset what appears to be other full paid members on this forum, and when it comes down too it they are what keeps a club going.

I actually did not think of that???

Won\'t they be able to track his URL number?

[turbo boy]

There`s always a way son!

I don\'t think Nik will bother to do that, enough people on here are also on FDUK where he\'s a frequent user and he\'ll get any information that he wants regarding MRC through there I would have thought.

well, a banning was the wrong way to go about it.

Call Me Dave is doing his best to clean up the intarwebz, we could have just asked him to sort it out so that we have to ask our ISP to see Nick\'s posts. that way, anyone whose dainty sensibilities could maybe be offended by some nasty letters on a computer screen would be able to continue to live their lives. i mean, why stop there? let\'s get Davey Babey to make BT tint the whole internet pink!

and remember...

Still no one with gumption to actually say why they have reported him, that says a lot to me
