That information is not made public.Out of curiosity. how many total warning points do you need to get a ban?
I have always had very low warning points but on a couple of occasions seemed like I got a ban basically on the whim of whatever Mod was on duty, and sometimes because I was going against the Mob mentality of a thread and they just wanted an easy life and to agree with the Mob.

From experience, moderators do not issue warnings on a whim or 'for an easy life'. Annoyingly the gaffer insists upon a much more substantial reason.
From your description, and I'm just guessing here mind, I'd suggest that repeatedly derailing threads may have been your downfall in the past.

Invalid link.Perhaps a mod can explain how posting a smiley face warrants a ban

Sorry but that's just bollocks.Seems to be what I tend to get bans for.
The last one was on the thread about the Sunderland musical at the Empire, where I don’t think I was even being particularly objectionable. Just started taking absolute pelters because I said I’d heard it wasn’t as good as people in the thread were making out.
No it’s not, so I have to massively disagree, on the basis that I simply said that I’d heard the show wasn’t particularly good—and it shouldn’t actually be unreasonable to offer a dissenting viewpoint. I was then subjected to a load of inane and idiotic abuse first, for just going against the grain, by people who apparently don’t understand the concept of subjectivity when it comes to opinions about musical theatre.Sorry but that's just bollocks.
Your language was indeed particularly objectionable, particularly within the context of the thread - hence the action that was taken against you.
Nope.No it’s not, so I have to massively disagree, on the basis that I simply said that I’d heard the show wasn’t particularly good—and it shouldn’t actually be unreasonable to offer a dissenting viewpoint. I was then subjected to a load of inane and idiotic abuse first, for just going against the grain, by people who apparently don’t understand the concept of subjectivity when it comes to opinions about musical theatre.
But yeah, I’m the one who was out of order for defending myself against attack from a load of people, for the audacity of just having a differing perspective, which wasn’t even my own, because as I said multiple times I hadn’t even seen the show and was just going by what people I know had told me.
Well I hope other people on that thread got warnings and actions taken against them as well, Pancho, because it wouldn’t be fair just singling out and banning the person who got piled on by loads of people.Nope.
As usual any action taken against you and others on that thread wasn't because of your opinions, but for the way those opinions were expressed and the language used.
Got a warning for “Inappropriate Behaviour” on Boxing Day, no idea what that was all about.
