This guy has started a new thread for something he is also selling on Gumtree.

Banned user edspencer78 for 7 days due to trolling after he registered and then proceeded to post a cut 'n' paste rant on every BLB thread.

Deleted threads by GarethEd that were about the 54cm Raleigh as it was also on Gumtree and breaches Classifieds rules. No punitive action taken against the user as he had actually posted other stuff once upon a time.

He's back!

Banned for 7 days. Thread deleted.

Actually... undeleted thread and user restored.

GarethEd has taken down his Gumtree advert, so the one on here is the only one... so we're back within the rules.

What are the rules surrounding selling stolen goods? I'm quite suprised at how quickly people have jumped on these given how outraged everyone is every time a bike is stolen...

Clue: humour.

Thank you Tynan, I'm sure those buying including myself would not be buying if they thought the goods were genuinely stolen.

Banned user dj5am on the basis of spamming. Though was likely to do so for breaching classifieds rules and for possibly selling stolen goods as prices didn't add up.

Psst! There are two epic win threads...

First one may have been mine...

Not now there isn't.

Ehippic win.

If they would like to address their criticisms to fuckyouandyourfamily@youmassivecunt.com I'll be more than happy to consider their grievances.

Can you email me at just to prove that you do actually have that email address, because the whois suggests that it would be more likely to direct to David Woollard in Adderbury, Oxfordshire.

I have to use anonymous browsing but the forum keeps randomly blocking my ever changing ip addresses

Well, I can't reply in person because the email address is fake. However perhaps you'll read this.

I assume that you're using ToR with onion routing to try and obtain anonymity for browsing. I assume this because one of the things done a while ago was to ban the IP addresses of a large swathe of ToR routers, and this is the only scenario that springs to mind why anonymous browsing might be blocked.

So why was the ban put in place? Well basically because ToR was being used by some spammers who I'd banned to circumvent the ban and to put up lots of posts about running shoes. When I removed the ban against ToR it only took a few weeks before some trolls for a motor forum used it to be childish jerks. Banning ToR was effective in both instances, and as I'd learned that removing the ban caused problems I left the ban in place.

As such, since you've not really providing any decent reason as to why the ban should be removed (I have no basis to know that you're not a spammer or troll) I shall leave it in place.

Oh, and Furtwangler also used that IP before he was banned (just checked that too).

So yeah... IP bans against ToR stay in place unless someone can give me a very good reason to remove them.

Alias caramelcycles noted, willing to give him a chance to prove he's not going to spam again though the first post that implies the spam will resume will result in a ban again.

Furtwangler = Paul Michel!!!

Bring back the comedy genius!!! ;)

EDIT:
Okay, I'm not actually serious. I fully understand or headman's (Oh I love that phrase) reasons for bans.

Released user magik.fox from the nursery as he's visiting from New Orleans and wants to hang out with people this weekend:

hello there.

i have been in ireland for a few weeks now, and i am stopping in london for the weekend. i would love to stop by and see saturday polo matches. can somebody give me directions or an address and time so that i may find the group. i did not bring any of my equipment (flying with a bike is quite expensive), but i would like to meet people nonetheless. i have already had a great experience with the dublin team.

Hmm, could be a she actually. Whatever... not in the nursery any more.

I've PM him/her with polo details.
And a rep for your most recent activity Sir. Bravo.

It must be time to ban DJ again?

And you, and teenslain, and BMMF, and lynx, and the list goes on.

The place is shit. I'm really bouncing around bi-polar nowadays, the forum truly gets me down. Riding is still a blast, and that makes the place worth it. But fuck me a lot of people talk some utter crap on here.
