As you're clearly not going to let this drop on the public side of the forums, this is a response from all of us. Zed originally turned up on these forums claiming to be 14, his posts soon made it clear that this perhaps wasn't true and as more reports were submitted to us, more warnings were given both on the public forum and by PM. We're not going to go into these warnings, no doubt you'll deny they ever actually occurred, but thankfully the forum logs when warnings are sent and all of the mods are happy with this system.
You have claimed that Zed is your son, but an earlier post from yourself has you saying...

Thats right, I was talking to Zed (real name also Zack) at the Cov game. Said his account was deleted for no reason? .
It strikes as us slightly bizarre that he's your son, you monitored all his posts and private messages, yet you had to bump into him in Coventry and discuss his account to realise that he had been banned?
On a thread from last season, whoever Zed may actually be, decided to take it upon himself to start sending private messages to people whose opinion he disagreed with, when this was brought to our attention the following message appeared on the forum.
Zed said:
MODS! I would appreciate it if this slanderous and rather idiotic post was removed !
I have not sent a childish PM, in fact post it for all to see. This has been a good debate, why the hostility? that in itself is childish personified.
I have regular contact with someone connected with the club so might know a little more than some. What is the problem with that I ask !!
Once again it strikes us as a little bizarre that in the 4 years the forum has now been running, the only people who have taken it upon themselves to send private messages to those who disagree with them is TheDevilTorn who is also banned, and Zed. For two accounts that are supposedly not linked in any way, there's a very similar posting and behaviour pattern that started to emerge.
More recently, you claim that Zed never received a warning for any of his posts, quoted underneath is what you said when referring to me...
Beatbox said:
Instead he chooses to lie, saying there were enough reasons that led to his ban, utter nonsense Not once was he even ever warned about a post.
However this isn't true, although i'm sure you'll still maintain that I am a liar and that what is quoted underneath never happened, however all of the mods are aware that it did happen. This just happens to be the last, public warning from one of us.

Zed - you continue to post irrelevant, off-topic posts. I am not commenting on who's right or wrong - i don't care. You (and others) insist on turning threads into personal arguments. This thread is about the signing (or not) of players. Further arguments will result in posts being deleted.
Whilst you have requested this by PM, we feel it is in our best interests to post this on the public side of forum to make it clear that Zed was banned after repeated warnings, rather than for no reason as you have tried to portray it. This thread is now locked, none of us are going to engage in another argument with you over the banning of TheDevilTorn (and all the other associated usernames), Zed or anyone else.
Any further threads on this or the general section of the forum are likely to be locked or deleted, the same for any posts that attempt to take threads off topic.
We have never banned a person for no reason, and there are no plans to start doing that now.
Chris, on behalf of the entire team.
