Another vote to bring him back.
To invoke the spirit of Tony Curtis - ‘I rogered Tarkers’ wife over the kitchen table!’
I don't know why he was banned. Maybe when the owner of Footymad booted him from being a mod, Tarkers tracked down the guy's name, address and phone number, rang him up and told him he knew the names of his wife and kids, and the guy went and took it as an implied threat against his family. It's not like Tarkers hasn't done anything like that before.
I think it is likely Tarkers inadvertently created a situation for Footymad where they were potentially in breach of data protection laws. If a complaint was made and this proved to be the case then the site owners would have had no option other than to ban him and placate the complainant.
I'm not saying that is what happened but just my view based on reading between the lines of some other comments posted on other threads since his ban.
The idea of Tarkers as a moderator is hysterical. Swale are you back doing it now as I see moderator is under your name? Lucky you
Long live King a Swale
