No, it's not "out of order". It is not unusual for mods to extend or reduce bans once they've been brought up in the mods forum. In fact, I'd say that it's a sign of how fair the process is: no mods can unilaterally decide on a long ban without the approval of the others.
In this case all of the mods decided that a 2 week ban was appropriate. Don't forget, you're not going to know the full background to why someone was banned - so you'll have to trust us on that - but I will say that we are INCREDIBLY tolerant compared to most boards. But even our tolerance has its limits.
I don't want to disrupt this thread any further, so please take any further debate to the feedback forum.

Was all quiet on the top deck of the 220 approaching Hammersmith yesterday morning and some disgruntled middle age bloke boomed loudly into conversation on his mobile a couple of seats behind me, making sure the entire top deck could listen in.
Apparently he's reached Vodafone customer services and was frustrated that his phone display wouldn't stay illuminated longer (a simple settings/display fix usually). And proceeded to call them ridiculous that his handset wouldn't act how he wanted. The call centre person on the other end was obviously trying to help by telling him he had to go to settings...display etc, and he inevitably got it all wrong, while having the conversation at the same time. He then ended up pressing Flipboard and got all angry by shouting '"NOW I'VE GOT FLIPBOARD COMING UP. WHAT IS FLIPBOARD??" "THIS IS RIDICULOUS"... "I'M GOING TO CANCEL MY CONTRACT"

I can only apologise for my lack up updates on Onket's 'fucking nightmare of a bastard commute'. It has been busy at the heart of the campaign, but it's no excuse. I'm sorry. Well, that and he wasn't in the office yesterday.
Anyway, the Onkey one would like you all to know that he used 80% of his phone's battery before he'd even got to work, looking at all the messages of support, pictures and screenshots you beautiful lot have been sending him. And 'watching that bloody video'.* His battery was down to 13% by the time he arrived at his destination, but he was listening to Jerome Hill on Kool FM and playing Boom Beach.
No trains were late. Over and out.
Justice for Onket!

I was meant to be getting the train to London then a coach from Victoria to Glasgow, only there are no trains because of a tree on the line. Frantic phonecalls to four cab companies later and I found someone who could pick me up in 20 minutes and managed to do the 20minute drive to another station in half that time. Just made the train and if my connecting train is on time I'll have 12 minutes to get from my train to the coach. If I don't make it, the overnight train costs £130. I think I'm about to have an aneurysm.

Coach to Glasgow, grim. We flew in October and that was bad enough

Actually, might as well flounce.
Why would someone in the travel industry be on a horrorbus?

Certainly. Onket's monthly pass expired over the weekend and his train leaves before the ticket office opens. He had to buy a £49 return and then get it reimbursed at Clapham Junction when renewing his pass. The overground to Clapham High St was delayed by 2 minutes which meant he didn't miss it
Scintillating update this morning I'm sure you'll agree.

Fucking nightmare waking up and finding out I forgot to charge my laptop this morning. Had to plug that in, commute to the kitchen for a coffee, get back into bed and make a few phone calls and send some emails. I shall be commuting to the bathroom in a bit to give the baby a bath, and then a shower for myself. I'll be hitting the viccy line for a 3pm meeting in town later and a 6pm meeting in the pub.

I might not pass that on to Mr Gloria Sleader. I already got an earful about still being in bed at 10.30 this morningOnket
I spoke too soon on the Monday positivity. I just got an earful from my real boss for planning to go for a quick pint at 6pm even though I've been helping out with childcare this morn and all weekend and will be sharing the load tomorrow. She's upstairs I can feel the daggers coming through the ceiling.
