Isn't that what we have now though? Walk down any street and you'll see stickers saying what you've writen in the windows of most pubs. Effectivly, you're saying we should keep the status quo.

So how would a ban *with* exceptions work? "Smoking is banned in all pubs, excpet those which allow it." Well, as we know, they were going to allow smoking in "licences premises that serve food and members clubs", but arguments over what the exact definition of "food",...

The smoking ban is a good thing. Smoky atmospheres make me feel ill, and I don't want my hair and clothes to stink of someone else's addiction. I refuse to go into any place that allows smoking throuout, and haven't done since I walked out of my aunt's birthday party last March. Seperate areas are u...

Topic: DSat - dish size restrictions??

I believe you can have 2 dishes on your house- one a maximum of 1m, and the second a maximum of 60cm. Anything more requires planning permission (plenty of people get away with breaking these restrictions though). I have a 90cm motorised dish, I considered getting a 1m, and I wish I did now as there...

I do agree with what you're saying, Phil. I was banned around 10 minutes before I posted this, so I was pissed off at the time.

I actually got a warning a few weeks back for "posting off topic". God knows why that is considered serious enough for a warning from the mods- but it explains why there's so many banned members. I don't know who the mods are who are carrying out these sort of decisions (seeing as they nev...

I'm going back even further than Beth- 2000/2001 ish. I beleive the mods back in those days were Neil, Jose & James along with Sathelp who modded the Satellite forums and, I think, Chris did the Cable ones (funny how we knew who all the mods/admins were back then). The site's pretty much unrecog...

DigitalSpy heavy handed moderation

I don't usually post here, but I need to get something off my chest. I've just recieved a 48 hour ban on DS for standing up to a troll who was out to cause trouble, he got nothing. In the past I've got some warnings, and a 48 hour ban last year, all for pathetically minor things. DS wasn't always li...

I wouldn't normally post here, but I'm wondering why you seem to think I have an obsession with Paul Akinbola (seeing as it was also mentioned in the first post of this thread). I can't remember the last time I mentioned him on TVF, the only times I ever did was in the threads he started.

After seeing what fags have done to my grandparents & my aunt (killed 2 of them, put another in a home after numerous strokes and given my aunt over a decade of poor chest health which is getting worse all the time- on the phone last week she sounded like she's just run a marathon), I wouldn't c...

Personally, I want to know who's still buying it. The novelty wore off AGES ago and everyone I know is sick of it. But 4 weeks? Who the hell is buying it?
