After the previous security issue, some changes had to made to accounts with unnecessary access levels but no-one has been prevented from re-registering following these necessary changes.

The 'abuse button' suggested by Hannah is being looked into as a possible option.

---

Thats the biggest load of crap ive seen in years!!!

---

Fieldsys back! Aye Aye:o

Total disgrace whats going on at the moment.........

---

There's nothing 'going on at the moment'.
Banter is one thing, but pointless abuse has always led to users being warned about mis-use etc. There's no witch-hunt here.

---

Yeah sorry about that sass....

Nuttmeg I love Danny Evans

---

Danny Evanss account and Donna Evans have now been reinstated with normal user rights.

For the record, I have not deleted any posts in the past few weeks other than the occasional removal of an accidently duplicated thread/post

In particular, no posts have been removed from the money matches thread

Steve Field was barred before the security breach due to posting the same message on every thread on the site at the time

I will be looking into adding the report abuse button so that the site "moderates itself"

---

For the record paxo,you did ban me for one post saying"shoot the chicken" and made me apolagise to frigging get back on,if that aint a power trip i dont know what is ..then i repeated the post on each thread......
So for the record, can we mention chickens at all now in the knowledge you wont get in a flap.....

:D

---

Why is this still going on?
It's established that people have access, it seems clear that this thread is just a childish way to get at Paul, for whatever reason.
What do you intend to gain? You've mentioned the site is boring now, this is hardly the 'interesting content' people are missing. If anything is boring on this site, it's crap like this.

Hi everyone! I trust you are all keeping well?

Thank you all for the airtime I've received of late. I didn't even realise that I was banned until being told about all this but since it's come to light I might as well say my bit.

Whoever came up with the 'site access' story deserves a clap as that's a good one seeing as 'Lils' didn't ever have access to the site. It would appear that the banning coincided with the site being relaunched after the recent security breach which in turn coincided with Saxton 'unfriending' (for want of a better word) me on Facebook and not responding to e-mails that I sent, so that coupled with 'Lils' being banned for 'site access reasons' is a bit weak don't you think? The user rights could have quite easily been removed without banning a user were that the real reason it happened.

I find it a bit unnecessary to ban someone for what appear to be personal reasons especially after such a short time in a power of position. It's not as if I was an active user on the site at the time either. It would be a shame for this site to go the way of uk8ball where you can't cough for fear of being banished into pool website oblivion! To the best of my knowledge the only people to be banned in five years of CroydonPool.com were Fieldsy and Cliff when they were having one of their episodes and they themselves will admit they were a tad delerious (yes you were Cliff).

As BDD has mentioned, please be very weary about going down the route of hiding behind usernames and threatening all and sundry with bans as it's a slippery slope. I trust the right decisions will be made.

Oh and in case you wanted to turn the registration activation link back on again the reason it wasn't working was because the domain is set up incorrectly. I am guessing that in the site admin it has the site domain set up as www.croydonpool.com when in fact it is www.croydonpool.com/croydon. The consequence of this is when the activation link is generated it doesn't include the fact that the site resides on a subdomain and therefore the link is incorrect. I suggest either changing the setting in the site admin to reflect the subdomain, or changing the setting with your ISP so that the domain of www.croydonpool.com points towards www.croydonpool.com/croydon instead of the root directory, the latter being the most suitable but I guess you already know that.

I'll come out of the shadows to post again if Swettenham wins the Singles and Rankings as that is as rare as rocking horse poo (I am allowed to say that aren't I?) but until then take care everyone ;)

---

Thanks for your advice Danny

I will sort the registration issue out, although in the long term I would like to get the site moved over to fusion 7.

I now know a bit more about Fusion than I did when I initially got the site back up

From now on I think the best way for the site to be run is that if anyone has a complaint please raise it to Site Team and it will be looked into if needs be

I have activated a bad word filter on the site so swearing should hopefully get replaced by ***

If I have been too harsh in the past I apologise, now that people want more banter etc on the site then that is fine, especially as the swear filter is now on

---

****

---

good the swear filter is working!

I am sure that you will all enlighten me if I have missed any words!

---

im fcuked

im still delerious

B)

---

O.k ill let it go this time...but learn by your mistakes :p

---

shit
*******
*******

---

hmmm there is something very strange going on here *******apparently is not swearing! I have put it into the swear filter and its not getting bleeped out but other words are

---

ok I take that back now its working

---

paul thank u .... i think what u have done was the right thing!! even if u had 2 bow 2 pressure... welcome back golden ball`s.. :D

I haven't logged on here in a donkeys age, but frankly, reading about Danny being banned, I had to log in call whoever banned him, whatever the reason, a f*cking retarded mogadon.

He built the blo0dy place!

He made it what it is.

On the back of so doing so he put Croydon back on the Interleague map, scooped an Interleague KO Cup, and left a legacy that saw 2 teams representing Croydon where for years there were none.

And saw more Croydon players than ever represent Surrey, some of who ended up with a historic National Title - something very few will ever get to achieve.

Add to that the numerous Comps, venue improvements, and countless other things that came about as a direct result of this site being built and kept active by, Danny and others that supported his efforts.

And now some jumped up little weasel faced ingrate on a power trip wants to ban him. It's a f***ing disgrace and no mistake.

Whoever it was than banned him, for whatever trumped up half-ar$ed reason, needs a bucket of conkers (in their skins) firing up their jacksy with a Driving iron.

It stinks. Its rotten. Heads should roll.

Exactly the reason why power should never ever be wielded by those that want it. The minute someone asks to be in charge, the answer should be a resounding No.

P.S. I don't mind you banning Donna, that was OK ;)

---

Mark, Danny was never banned from the website I have explained the situation both on here and on the phone to Danny.

The security of the site in terms of user permissions has been tightened due to the recent security breach, a fact which Danny understands.

Danny could have registered as a new user with no problem, if he had been banned, he would not have been able to even gain access to the site.

Danny hadnt logged into the site for a very long time. I was able to modify the database to reinstate all of his posts under a fresh account.

As mentioned previously, the site is going to be a lot more relaxed now. The main issue I had was with name calling on the site, whilst I still dont like that happening a swearing filter has been implemented, so people are free to post away.

---

I read the explanation, and frankly found the inference, intentional or otherwise, that Danny had his 'power' removed because of the recent security breach, every bit as offensive as his 'banning/Admin removal'.

Is this suggesting that 'he' may have been the cause? Or simply that his account may have been exploited?

If as I'd assume, it is the latter, then simply changing his password, and that of any other SuperAdmin would have served perfectly well, along with an email sent to them explaining why.

From the perspective of the casual observer it looks very much to me like it was seen as an opportunity to 'take' autonomous control of the website.

You'd do well to remember that your position on here is granted in order for you to provide a service to the CDPL community, and not to 'own' anything.

You are the sites caretaker, the minute you appear to be moving that status to one of 'ownership', then you are clearly overstepping the mark.

IMO anyway.

On the topic of 'relaxed'. Again, in my opinion, it isn't down to you to decide how people conduct themselves on here, it is a website that belongs to a community of pool players, and things will get a bit fruity from time to time. So what? That is the essence of the site, kill it off and the site will become stale and lifeless.

Christ, myself and Danny actually used to TRY and cause trouble on here from time to time, just to stoke things up.

More to the point, if the users at large think that any individual is going over the top, then THEY can decide, and collectively tell you to do something about it.

Anyways, blah, said enough.

---

Spot on and very well put, but i fear the damage is already done, apart from results it appears that the number of posters lately has greatly reduced.

---

Bottom line is it's not fun using this site any more and I think a change is needed.

---

You mean that your opinionated drivel was just designed to get people posting? Shock, horror! You should get a job with Max Clifford.

And I think you only posted so that you could yet again mention Surrey being National Champions.

---

You can't force people to post stuff and you can't blame the person running the site if people can't be bothered any more.

What change would you suggest?

---

Plenty of suggestions. A webmaster should be regularly involved in the site. He should be commenting in the forums, starting threads and stimulating debate. Danny was good at doing that. I used to do it to to a lesser extent. It seems now that when anything gets interesting it gets nipped in the bud by deleting posts and banning members etc. Some common sense needs to be applied to what is being said in in the forums.

The users are the lifeblood of the site. It's pointless without them. Continue to piss them off with overzealous moderation and there will be no website.

paul u mite have 2 call a agm on this mate ....:D
