Anyway, seriously though Farawayred the logistics of getting a group of mods together at the same time to make an appointment to "debrief" an errant user are just not really possible. It's a spare time thing and we do it when we get free moments, there is no way I could commit to be available at a certain time.

I was imagining this more or less as a thread to which only Mods and the perpetrator have access and that stays open for a week. Any Mod could swing by at any time during that week and say whatever he/she wants to say; no need for anyone to be ever present. But the purpose would be that the abusive poster "gets it" and it offers a chance for apology to the Mods. All this after two weeks in a cold bath... The onus will be on the poster to prove himself a changed person to the Mods. If he/she fails... we don't want him/her here anyway.
EDIT: Posted the above before this popped up:

Fair play then, thanks for listening!

Funny thing is that the people this affected all apparently don't care...though they cared enough to call people "c*nts" and "spastics" and then bitch and moan when they got banned for it. For what it's worth the original ban for Dr M seemed a bit harsh but his reaction fully justified the permanent ban, for the people saying the forum will be worse for it they should blame him for his out of order comments.
The whole thing was pathetic really, i've had a couple of bans on here, one was very fair and the other I thought was a bit harsh but I didn't whinge about it as firstly it's not of that great importance and secondly the mods are within their rights to ban who they want. I do think more feedback should be allowed though. I like the idea of allowing the banned poster to send PM's to moderators to discuss the ban and the reasons for it, because IMO more often than not the poster would just apologise and then know not to do that again.

No offence mate, but I stopped reading right there. If you're hurling abuse at me as a moderator you're abusing the site. In most cases I don't take it personally, in fact for the most part it's equal parts funny and pathetic*. But if you don't respect the site, the site rules and the principle of moderation and are incapable of controlling your behaviour then you are going to get treated accordingly. I don't see where the truth and reconciliation committee comes in.
* the 'plank in my arse' in my custom title was one inventive bit of abuse from a now long banned poster.

Is there a RAWK gatekeeping policy...or is it just an open door, so to speak?....just that there seems to have been a large number of new posters joining the board recently - particularly since the Man United game - whose motives for being here seem a wee bit suspect.........just wondering like

Open door. We check for dupe accounts and the obvious mancs but rely on the twats demonstrating their twattishness (which they usually do fairly quickly).
