    'tis the Season of Goodwill and as we approach the big day we've decided to give some of the naughty boys and girls a chance to redeem themselves and show Santa what good little children they can be

    All threadbans in this forum are hereby lifted

    Please note that if anyone simply goes back to the sort of behaviour that resulted in the threadban in the first place, they will in all likelihood end up with a harsher sanction

    Merry Christmas all

    This is a great idea. Some people are very lonely around Christmas and well shure you know yourself.

    It's quite clearly a trap.

    You should let these naughty posters be Mods for Christmas day while the real Mods take the day off.

    What could do wrong?

    The antifa thread ban 95% of us for being ‘fascists’ :pac:

    Everyone who ever posted in a trump thread gets banned for being a russian bot or a hillary shill :pac:

    It would mean a lot of peace and quiet here, and a shítshow in drp.

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    That's favouritism.

    What do those of us who've behaved ourselves over the years get?

    Who do I complain to??? :D

    I thought I must have been on some Double Secret Probation because I tried to post in the Trump Impeachment thread right after the amnesty announcement and it wouldn’t take. And the post was pure genius... Oh, well.

    So I'd like to be unbanned from the Trump Impeachment thead. Thanks.

    A thread ban is not an actual ban banning you from the thread. Its an honour thing.

    I didn’t know that. When I was told not to post... I didn’t. I’ll have to try again.

    We can only have automated bans at forum and site levels, not at thread level. Of course they remain undocumented in terms of your Boards record - simply recorded by mods and harsher sanctions can be expected for ignoring a threadban
