Oh, I got a week's warning and posting restriction on my account a couple of months back for calling richard out over him effectively admitting he claimed a discounted TV licence fraudulently and then stopping paying entirely because he thinks he's "fining" the BBC for percieved indescretions, and then saying he didn't need to pay it anyway because he doesn't use the BBC's services, even though he regularly makes posts about their programmes.
Admittedly I don't think he's gone on about his crusade to "fine" the BBC since.

Was it the blind one? I remember Rich bragging about getting someone fired for their London accent which I think is discrimination.james2001 wrote: Fri 03 Jan, 2025 22.04 Oh, I got a week's warning and posting restriction on my account a couple of months back for calling richard out over him effectively admitting he claimed a discounted TV licence fraudulently and then stopping paying entirely because he thinks he's "fining" the BBC for percieved indescretions, and then saying he didn't need to pay it anyway because he doesn't use the BBC's services, even though he regularly makes posts about their programmes.

Speaking of London accents, I find myself reading 🍓 David’s posts (he’s from London, but “barely within it” and thinks giving transmitter information is doxxing) in a very chavvy voice, as if to say “OI MATE DO YOU WONNA FOIT ME COZ IM JOOOOOOISHHHHH”. He’s 40, so he’s either a seedy man who still wears tracksuits and hangs out with teens in the streets or he’s a beer-bellied father with a football obsession. (Not sure what’s worse, after all this is the man who randomly brought up his skinless bellend in a discussion about Christmas. “It’s craaaaazzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyy!” No, YOU are.) I wonder if Richie looks down on his friend over this, or is their shared love of bullshit threads enough?
Though David randomly started talking like he’s on RuPaul in the ITV regional oddities thread, which he derailed into one about ITV Digital (the DTT service). What the hell is up with that?
Then there’s Nigel Goodwin who thinks everybody has the same TV engineering knowledge he does. He’s real immature for a 70 year old.
I'm my experience people who are annoying on forums are never going to not be annoying on forums, and the best thing to do for the sake of your blood pressure is to just add them to your ignore list.
You do then have to resist the temptation to dismiss the warning and view their posts anyway, but then you've only got yourself to blame if it winds you up!
