I'm proud to have gained a 'proper' banning before these new lesser ones came in. Maybe we should change them to 'slap on the wrist' rather than 'banning' to reflect their true status.

A yellow card perhaps?

Or anyone raising a thread on such a subject should be banned.

Isn't suggesting a ban a banning offence.

Just asking like.

I think you were doing more than just asking. That looks like a suggestion to me, and you know what that means.

Oh tulip, what have I done? Right, nobody say anything or there'll be no one left on here.
