Don't worry! We'll both be banned, so grab some cigars and come to my place for a ban-herf!

[Lee Nub]

If you get banned for starting a poll, its a sad sad day.

[saggel]

Seriously? There's no admin / mod online to give an answer to all these? Who's watching the forum? The sponsors?

[jibjob79]

Sorry, been watching the history channel and it hit a note with me, not implying anything but to note the principle (yes i have consumed alcohol this evening)

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

Not sure what has happened but ever since the whole bombing debacle the forum seems to have lost something.

I've just spoken to "our man in exile", he's doing fine.

PS. He's still got the box spilt if anyone's still interested

Maybe Deano wanted to keep the box for himself...

[MarkSDMF]

Wow this is all news to me.


Hmmm.
I need to start paying attention and get on the interwebs more.

Mike is a nice chap and banning him for being generous is a bad call in my opinion, i think there may be some underlying issues here ? Just a thought.

[davidruddell]

I'm G-Man

It's a Spartacus vibe, geddit

[tupacboy]

I'm the korean gman!

[Soulmanure]

Things seem to be getting a bit weird here. I suppose we're all in need of a bit of general clarification.

Just to play devil advocate, the forum has to keep itself beyond reproach with respect to legal issues such as tax avoidance aka grey market trading. As Deano owns the forum i would imagine he would be held personally responsible for what happens on here, not necessarily right but i would imagine that is how it would play out. If someone is promoting ways to UK members of how to procure cigars that may or may not have the relevant fees and regulations followed then the forum needs to take measures to protect itself for the benefit for all its members.

Now if a heated debate between a member and a mod got out of hand i can understand a banning (understand not necessarily agree).

Just an alcohol fueled idea (always the best i find). Can't there be a clause in the buying/selling/trading rules along the lines of "by buying/selling/trading on this forum the buyer/seller/traders assumes full responsibilities for ensuring all taxes, fees and forms are completed in accordance with the law of relevant countries" Just a thought to let our BOTL across the pond play on an equal footing.

Hmmmmm seems my glass contents has evaporated, how could that have happened? Must remedy at once lol.

[eggopp]

Well thats a good idea, its written on all ciagr online shops in there sales pitches, that or the buyers responsible for the taxes etc.
