      Ban was upgraded to permanent but currently under dispute.

      Not talking about his case in particular but in general when a user causes a lot of hassle for mods with constant bans or having to be kept in check they are usually removed permanently. The mods are volunteers and giving them work is unfair, so with that in mind I can understand the permaban. I don't think I ever handed out a permanent ban while I was mod here but it's a different beast now to what it used to be.

      Banning was and still is a last resort though, mods hate handing out bans cause it usually leads to grief

      Toasted Pickles, nice to see you today even if you are from the wrong side of the road! I meant to ask you if you're driving in because I would like to get a look at that famous front bumper of yours:P
      Oh and sorry I wasn't particularly chatty etc I had a lot on my mind, Did an interview for the Formula Student project today and it went pretty well. Hopefully I'll get to build a race car for my final year project:D

      As for the 166man thing, I can't for the life of me work out why he gets so many bans, he's so mild mannered in real life.

      Yeah, if he was anymore relaxed he'd probably die. His Internet alterego is hilariously different.

      Do bodkins still have their loyalty card? Used to be far too quick to get to the free pint with that

      Thanks man, I was looking on Yahoo auctions, that Japanese site and found a full set of seat belts, I have asked Titan Autoworks if he can get them for me. If he can at least most of my problems will be fixed. I also ordered a spoiler:cool:
