2 long term suspended members of 1 Eyed will be returning today - Wiz and Frankie.
Both have been suspended since early January 2026 as the moderation team sought to refurbish the site amid a continued focus on socio-political blogs.
In my Times have Changed blog I stated both would need to clearly demonstrate a change in approach to other members on the site, as well as acknowledging that socio-political blogs are not a focus of the site.
To this end, HoE has been in dialogue with them and emphasised the code of conduct and the way it is applied.
Both Frankie and Wiz have agreed to return along those guidelines.
Again, I want to state that vigorous debate on this site remains a cornerstone of it. It's not something that will change. However, when the line of vigorous debate is crossed and it becomes persistent harassment, abuse or anti-social behaviour then the suspension hammer will come down.
I know some may not agree with this decision, and I know some on the site who previously raised concerns have been notified ahead of time.
This is a decision I have sat with for months and I believe that 5 months of suspension should indicate how serious I have taken this.
Their accounts will shortly be re-activated.

Five months? Wow. I’ve seen shorter sentences for white-collar crime.
Finally the banter will be more interesting. Glad to hear they're back.
I give it until the end of today's game before someone accidentally mentions the R&R committee, or MON or the board or even politics before the gloves are off. Good luck to the moderaters for policing the site LOL.
Okay that explains what happened to these two but what happened to Snake?
Snake exited himself from the site
we have all made an effort to reach him through various means
we just continue to hope he is ok - wherever he may be
Yes Carlo, I have tried a few times to reach out but not been successful. Same here - hope he is ok wherever that may be....
welcome back Frankie
Frankie and Wizard
I missed you guys and look forward to the many discusssions that will develop with your return.
First Question, how do you guys feel about this season.....is it forgivable or unforgivable or something else.
Reaistically we are all pissed off. the question becomes with who and how defenceable are they..
PS I just watched the second half of Reserve Grade and I am not impressed, the "badge" was not an issue for those fellows and some of the attempts to defend or recover does not say much, regardless of the obvious issues.
Super - without knowing the extend of wha they did, can I ask why the long term on the sidelines?
This news however is the best news of the day for me.
Cool hope they have a much more salient views then some on here we need some better views then some arrogant old dude and a self anointed professor.... welcome back guys
You want to be careful PG .....if you talk your usual shit Fong will turn you inside out like a busted banana!
PS I am not a Professor but I can assure you he is not self appointed, but you were right about the arrogant old prick. At least we have a couple of guys who will not lay down, mind you their views are not always salient! LOL
Good to see the eels turn on an inspiring performance today for Wiz & Frankie, i hear the boys in the sheds were told before run on today they are back on their keyboards, apparantly they all went down on one knee
