Ok, well thanks for the support from the majority.
I do put a lot of hours in here to try and get the job done as effectively as possible, however I'm not perfect and I will make correct and incorrect judgements from time to time. I'm only human. Gilesy will back before you know it, I only gave him a short time out.
I don't agree about misuse of powers, just because the spoofs involved me. I'll openly admit I literally cried with laughter when Owain launched that avatar and I laughed when Gilesy posted the picture. To me they are funny, and if I wasn't in the position I'm in I would happily of backed them, leaving someone else to make the decision whether or not they are inappropriate. However, I am that 'someone' who has to make the decisions and on this occasion I deemed it a better judgement to remove them. I know many don't agree, but when making these decisions, you're on your own and you need to make a judgement call fast and make sure it achieves the desired outcome.
I am just like all you guys, I come here wanting to help others out technically and also keep the place tidy whilst at the same time have a bloody good laugh, I'm not here just to lay the rules down, in fact it's the one thing I hate doing.
