Digital Spy

to be downsized ... (November 2016)

The forum itself is just awful, the software I mean. Let's not even start on the attitude and behaviour of some on there. I read the forums now and again but have drastically cut down on my posting there. I don't miss it really. Here and a few other places are much more interesting/fun .


I agree with that - even as a relative 'newbie'.

DS are apparently now completely blind to the work of an obvious troll and baiter who is trying to disrupt threads and get people banned under the guise of being some kind of uber woke sexism warrior. DS mods seem to take everything one of those overly offended types says at face value, regardless of whether they have a serious point or not. I am now banned because I moaned about being sanctioned for no good reason and ended up stoking up the troll again, even though I publicly apologised to the mods for talking about warnings on the thread, I am apparently still the one in the wrong. As far as I am aware the Janet troll has not been banned.

To Rhumble, Daisydee, GibletOSullivan and the other FM who were permanently banned, join this forum!

As Garibaldi rightly says, the person who stirred up the trouble is still around - probably without any warnings.

Even though SHE was responsible for five good contributors losing their access rights to DS.

No way, I can't believe they have banned all of you lot as well and not the obvious troll.

How on earth have they taken the word of a troublemaker at face value and taken action against so many long standing posters? I feel a bit guilty for even mentioning it again in the thread today now. Do you know if the others know about this forum Mark, I don't know any other way to message them.

ETA: Looks like I am perma banned too

I presume this is your account that has been terminated in the past hour.

There was another similar username who I interacted with who has also lost their DS account.

Yes that first account is mine that has now been terminated. The second one has nothing to do with me though, sorry. Laughing

So... having apparently been declared Unmutual by the Digital Spy Hive Mind, here I am! Hiya Mark, hiya Gari Very Happy

I have received no warning on DS or by email, but I am no longer 'permitted access' to Digital Spy. No explanation, no nowt. I assume it is to do with all this 'Janet' cobblers.

Wow. Is that the shoddy way that DS handles these 'issues' now?

Good riddance to 'em then.

(I'll miss my friends on the forums though. Perhaps a farewell note can be 'got out by a friend' to quote Ian Dury)

Greetings Gibby, looks like your perma banned like me although at least they granted me the small courtesy of a notification email.

It's unbelievable the way they have (mis)handled this situation. Rhum, Daisy and JD are gone too apparently.

No, I've heard nothing. No way to contact forum 'support' to give them a final piece of my mind, either.

It's the talk of the Emmerdaily thread there if that's any consolation Smile

LOL i'm glad the surviving Emmerdaily crew haven't forgotten us. I guess it doesn't matter since we all looked doomed to die a Corona themed death anyway.... if some of the media coverage is anything to go buy that is Razz

Well, those who are discussing it are hoping we'll all be back by this time next week (the mods have reopened the CC thread with one of their mealy-mouthed justifications that in no way addresses what actually happened - and of course all the posts are gone now, so who's to say otherwise).

Until next week then I'll start making contingency plans for an armed uprising. Wink


EDIT: Eh, what part did daisy or JD play in it? Bizarre. Rhum was on his last nerve with the mods as it was, I doubt he'll be back even if they do 'allow' it.
