We should have a mass un-banning of some of the better posters who were banned, thus giving them one more chance. You lay down the law for the FINAL time, and if they break the rules once after a warning they are gone forever. You must make that perfectly clear so there will not be any confusion like last time..
Agreed. A quick review of the banned members list would quickly indicate spammers, opposition fans with the sole purpose of causing trouble, and then posters like seven, claire etc.. I know they're hardly alike but in any case posters who have either been misunderstood, or simply broke the rules but want a second chance.
I say wipe the slate clean for those members but make it painfully obvious what the rules are and that the mods decision is final. Also a page with information on each mod would be a nice touch, make them more approachable and what ahve you.
I take it that jeeks should be made a mod then, not sure about the snoop as bookmaker thing though mate, unless its a straight replacement for yourself in which case it would make sense
Maybe as yet another point the whole vbookie, vplaza etc could be suspended whilst the forum itself is addressed, then be gradually reintroduced as and when the owner sees fit?
