British Comedy Guide

And now, the end is near...

I'm sorry to say it, especially as I'm tantalisingly close to my 5,000th post, but this is goodbye.

I've been on BSG for just over a year. In that time I've made some good friends, and started to write comedy. I attribute the latter entirely to the spirit of constructive criticism and knockabout banter of the Critique section.

Sadly, in recent times, the Critique section has become an unpleasant place to visit, mostly because of a number of trolls - and the number of these trolls is very much a point of contention.

As a result of an intervention I made, Aaron has given me an official warning.

It's his right to run the forums as he sees fit and BSG (generally) is one of the more civilised forums on the net, mostly thanks to this. Certainly, it's one with better spelling.

But I won't take a public dressing-down for attempting, in, I hope, a characteristically mild way, to defend my friends and the spirit of the forums. So I'm off.

I'm grateful to Aaron, Mark and the rest of the mods for the fun I've had over the past year or so.

I'm sure I'll see several of you around and about, and I wish you all the very best.

Apart from the trolls. They can f**k right off.

Awww Graham! Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel you can come back and hang in the good ol' General section with me maybe?

TROLLS I BSG 0

I hope you change your mind.
We want the trolls to f**k off, not the proper members.

:(

I'm sorry to hear that Graham.

What zooo said, but without her tone of moderator authority.

Here is some sense Mister B.

Gutted. Please reconsider Mr B. I'll be down to like 3 people I like on here otehrwise ;)

Anyway, it's not even trolls plural is it? Just the one, taking the effing piss.

Also, if you read his post, it's not the trolls he's mad at.

Have I missed something? Graham come back!!!

He'll be back.

Bigger and stronger.

What we really need is for each member to sign on the electroll register >_<

Not the only ones maybe, but re-read the last line. :)

OK I'll spell it out for you then.

He didn't leave because of the trolls. He left because when he very politely tried to do something about the trolls, he got an official warning without having broken any site rules.

Is that clear enough now?
