Missing

That discussion happened in January, shortly after I wrote to Seriously.

None of the moderators expect to see something similar happening in the future.

Yep.

If we ban Geoff for a day can we get Seriously back?

Nah, he never flashed his legs.

It sounds like he took the return kidding too seriously. and at 17,000+ posts he also may have reached the end of his run here and lost interest.

In my line of work I had to learn to deal with all kinds of personalities and those that can dish it out but can't handle getting it back never last forever in any environment before something makes them want to walk away.

Geoff, I don't know (nor do I need to) what exactly was going on between you two, but you shouldn't use your admin privileges to fight personal fights. I don't even have to know the whole context of that to say that your 'for a joke' was in fact ugly power tripping, and I see it as abuse. It's not the first time you disrupted the forum like this (I remember you changed his avatar at some point and also edited Alan's post in Five Things).

Acting like this, you're giving the forum a bad vibe, and if it was up to me, you would be taking a break from your admin 'duty'. As it is not up to me, I suggest that mods and admins sit together and discuss what to do with it. IWL has become my home, or go-to, watch community, but if admins can simply chase members away and get away with it, I'll have to consider walking away, too.

Lol chill out. I'd happily not be an admin - it's not fun. Power trip It was very, very very clearly a joke, seriously knew this 100%. I have screenshots to prove He simply didn't want to post any more, clearly. As per Alan's post. I didn't have to weigh in but I thought I would be transparent.

A friend put me on to this thread:


I thought I’d put my side of the story as moderators seemingly are making up reasons why I left.


I left because someone with the relevant admin rights was messing about with my account, changing posts, changing avatars, and as a final straw banning me for 24 hours!.... for a joke.....


Contrary to popular belief there was no warning or otherwise on WhatsApp.


I would have been posting to this day if it was not for this, for want of a better phrase megalomaniac "pissing about."


Well done whoever it was.

It's good to see you here, and I hope you and "whoever" can put past mistakes and frustrations behind so that we can see your ironic humor and beautiful watches again.

You make it a better place, Seriously, and I hope you stick around and continue to post.

Moderators? Plural?

For myself, I merely assured people that you were well, and then respected your privacy by saying very little more. It was quite a difficult balancing act, as it happens.
