Hello,
I have banned Hackney Fox for 2 weeks for winding people up.
One note though is that people need to be a little less sensitive about things, are most city fans like those fools burning the Leicester shirt in that youtube video? Can they not see he is trying to get a reaction?
If / when he comes back, I have asked him to stop winding people up.
So what if he supports Leicester, he did make some good posts. I have friends who are Leicester fans, Man Utd Fans and a shed load of other teams and all we do is have banter.
I think he'll be less irritating when we actually either have some good news to shout about or the new season has started. At the moment we're all feeding off snippets that are often negative press so we probably feel a litle more precious that we ordinarily would
Lol Rob very diplomatic
The problem I had is that I use this site to talk about Coventry City with fellow Sky Blues fans, not a random Leicester fan. To have banter with other fans there are other forums available. This to me was my replacement for CET which unfortunately died out thanks to WUM's and idiots (I'm sure others on here will remember it's long and painful downfall). Whilst the old poll was very much 50/50, you also have to wonder if his presence has kept others away.
I've said it before, I'll say it again, it says very proudly at the top Coventry City FC Fans Forum.....I'm not really sure how a Leicester fan factors into that.
I think banning him is ridiculous to be quite honest! He creates debate which is exactly what you want on these types of forums surely?
It's not a permanent ban, in two week's time he will be able to use the site again.

I agree with Tankie and others who think banning Hackney is wrong.
Banning is a dangerous road and should only be considered if someone is deliberately trying to destroy the board.
I guess you will find that the traffic and post rate has not been lower when he is active, so at least he is not scaring people away.
Hackney has been on the GMK board for years. Mostly trying to start a good banter, and sometimes manage to wind a few people up. But he is not stupid or ignorant and he offers us a view of the club from the outside.
Coventry is his 'second life' and I have never had reasons to believe he really hate Cov - In fact, I think he will be one of us, when Leicester goes out of business.
It is only for a maximum of 2 weeks. I have emailed and PMed him to explain and also asked when he comes back not to be as much of a wind up.
I personally don't mind him and think he makes some good points, some people do need to chill out though.
Like I said, it is only for a couple of weeks anyway but maybe if there is good behaviour he could get an early release.
I did ask him not to try and wind people up.
I am pretty sure he won't lose any sleep at night!
you saying if people wind me up they get baned too your in danger of setting a tricky president
