I was permabanned (and for why I don't remember.)


And maybe I know why. PM Reed and ask him nicely to reinstate you, and maybe you should check the panels that the community didn't like (remember - the place is self-moderated. Being nice, and playing the game right is paramount to survival.)

Playing the game right applies here, too.


Good Luck on the Thanksgiving. I'll be very surprised if you last - you'll be hearing it several times. The whole thing is going to affect your mood, and there's going to be some raised eyebrows. If not actually broken dishes.

Oh, I did PM him. Never got a response back and it was quite a long time ago, at least... 4 or 5 months? Might make a new account and start fresh, making sure to ignore anything related to Justin Bieber or One Direction (I'm not entirely sure, but I think the panel in question was 'One Direction' and I drew a road sign pointing downward. Why that constituted a ban is beyond me...) The problem also is that I do not remember what I used to sign in - whether it was my email address, Facebook, or one of the alternate e-mails or Twitter.

Doubtful any of my relatives would Wham me, but just to be sure... full ear protection.
 
Now I'm getting nervous... So far, there's been no sign of any christmas music whatsoever (apart from a Vodafone commercial featuring a seal, a bear and a penguin...); nothing in malls, nothing on the radio.

Should I be worried?
 
Heard a cover during the telecast of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I nearly started swearing then realized it was a female voice. Close call.

Only always.

Huh. I had the parade on while I was cooking and didn't hear anything. The extremely frightening thought did cross my mind, though!
 
I'm starting to get paranoid. I heard "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" yesterday.
You know what that means. George Michael is after you and he is not going to let you escape.

'Tis be a warning, next time it will be George :sly: .
 
:scared::scared::scared:Holy crap. Barely made it so far- someone had the radio on... And the song was apparently played, right after I had gone to the bathroom. Paranoia has completely set in now... MUST LIVE!
 
I had to listen to Christmas radio for 2 hours with a relative in his car. I heard two covers of the blasted song but luckily no fatal "Wham". Thank you baby Jesus.
 
No Wham, but the girlfriend decided to walk around the house singing the chorus one morning. I asked her why she's singing that song, and she said she heard it on the radio on the way home.

And that's why I listen to CD's and MP3's in my car.
 
Lucky escape earlier when I was in Tesco and they played Christmas songs LOUDLY! no Wham! though and I got out of there as quick as possible and on the Scott Mills show on Radio 1 they played an Xmas song but I muted for a few minutes just in case, but he said that from next week all the DJs will play one Xmas song a day...you have been warned Radio 1 listeners!

Ah, the freedom of being already Whammed is bliss...:(
 
In what may be a gtp first, I am currently being whammed! My cricket club's end of year awards do with a dj. It was inevitable really!
 
Now is when people start dropping, now stores consider it officially Christmas season. Also, I never really signed up (Planned to but forgot) but somehow made it into the post, Yay! Haven't been Whammed! yet BTW
 
You can still enter to be one of the official participants. You just have to say something like "i'm interested" or "I want to join in" and you will eventually be added to the list if you've done so before 1st December.

Closest call ever? You have the best bladder in the world :lol:
 
My mom's ringtone on her work phone is Wham, so I got Whamed this morning when her boss called her. Seriously, I go home for the holidays and put up with this crap? :lol:

Guess I'm out.
 
As of today I am no longer shielded, the gloves are off and supermarkets are going to begin playing Christmas tunes in abundance.
 
Still haven't joined this officially but haven't heard it yet, other than that close call I posted the other day with the satellite radio display. Ironically I've found myself listening to the Christmas music stations frequently on both satellite and regular radio.

I like to live dangerously.

Does she know about this? Should have told her to change it.
 
Christmas season is here! I went shopping today and it's all Christmas music. I was waiting to get helped at the AT&T store and a Wham cover came on though. Then I did hear George himself, though singing for starving African kids instead, so I'm still in the clear.

Bring it on, George Michael.

Note - it is possible to work in retail and not get Wham!med for it. You just have to work somewhere that doesn't play music over the PA system.
 
Benifits of not having to go anywhere are why I'm still in. Hopefully when I go to get GT6 I won't hear it on the radio (I'll probably play my iPod so loud my ears will bleed)
