As most of you will know this has been brewing for some time and we think an explanation is warranted. we don't ban people lightly on here but Ian has had more chances than anyone else ever had.
To be clear this isn't a Clive ward thing it's a forum behaviour thing.
He was the most generally obnoxious person on here and thought nothing of brow beating anyone until he considered he'd got his way. To the point of both Geoff and I having multiple complaints from genuine members that they didn't feel they could talk about certain products without being attacked. Other members we've noticed have simply ceased to post...this isn't what NVUK is about, not by a long way!
He was given multiple warnings and even a weeks ban only moderated his behaviour for a week or so
He promised Geoff faithfully on the phone he would ease up which lasted only about 20 minutes. It's clear to us that it was either ban him or allow him to take over the place
Even this post is because he will no doubt be calling us sycophants and claiming me in particular is in someone's pocket
Ordinarily we would never put a post up explaining someone's ban and discussing them in this way but in Ian's case I feel the need to and frankly given the lack of respect he's shown us he doesn't deserve the consideration we'd normally show
