I am banned from IT Carlow Forum

UnrealQueen

Im banned for standing up for myself where there is a repeated abuse of power by one of the mods. Ivan locks most of my posts so I felt a bit hard done by and said so on this thread he started.

But now i'm banned by the other mod. I really don't think this is fair.

Right to save alot more hassel and this argument continuing for ages and ages I am going to set an example.
Ciaran is doing his best and unreal you are not relenting so you have earned a one month ban.
End of discussion.

seems fair to me, you were given ample warning.

I wonder if there is a disease called 'Banitus' as it appears to be spreading ?...

Did you bother reading the thread i linked to before you replied.

Senor_Fudge

lads ye're being a bit harsh on her dont ye think
like telling to stfu
thats not on

Paddy20

Senor_Fudge,

Totally agree with you. There are a number of 'piranha like posters' on Boards.ie, who seem too really wallow in a feeding frenzy type of insulting behaviour which is childish and unacceptable.

UnrealQueen is obviously the target of the moment, but no doubt the 'cowardly idiots' will soon pick on someone else. As they bore easily, especially if you do not respond too their posts, which is lethal.

Much more effective is to simply put them on your ignore list. I would advise UnrealQueen who has been suffering a lot from 'Banitus' & 'Lockitus' , both terrible afflications which effect some Moderators at times. Certainly diseases that should be scientifically/medically studied as they both appear to be contagious.

paddy a mod doesnt just lock something or ban someone for little to no reasion i think your being abit unfair to mods in general there (and the admins who wouldnt allow it anyway)

Ivan to his credit though long and hard about what to do with unrealqueen and a lot of the mods agreed with him ....you just didnt see the threads

According to her Ivan didn't ban her the other mod did but from what you are saying it appears to have been a joint decision. I found it stange for a mod to invite comment on their performance and then ban a user for making such comment and backing it up with her reasons.

I have only read the link in this post and so i m not aware of the history here .

Senor_Fudge

ive analysed the threads carefully and followed them and i still think the ban against unrealqueen is not warranted
sorry thats just my opinion

flogen

I certainly think that Ivan was wrong to lock her threads (the two she mentioned, especially the 'what are you doing after college?' one).
I think hes getting abit too strict on the rules there... it seems on topic to me, anyway.

Flogen

Senor_Fudge

why does the board have to be modded so seriously and severely its not as if its after hours or anything like that its only a college board... frankly i cant see the sense in it

Paddy20

bizmark,

You are of course correct in stating that I did not see the threads. I am well aware that the vast majority of the voluntary and unpaid Moderators deserve respect.

However, as you are probably aware I have had my fair share of disputes with a few Mods in my time. Now I just ignore the ones that get up my nose, best policy in my experience.

I do not mean to knock 'Ivan' (Sorry Ivan) but we just can not expect every Moderator too get it right everytime. They are human and do err and have bad days like everyone, and that certainly is of no surprise either considering some of the blockheads they have to contend with. I just wish that when the odd Mod makes an unjust decision and the individual poster is naturally frustrated and feels helpless then a little compassion or a more detailed explanation might help to put matters too rights a lot quicker.

Hope that helps to explain my view. I just hate it when so much time and energy is spent on trivialities when we live in a world of frightening abominations and real tragedies.

the policy of the board is set down by the moderator, what s/he wants discussed there if people have issues with that they can be taken up with the moderator and I believe Ivan has been more then fair giving people an opportunity to air their opinions on his modding with the "I have a gripe with Ivan thread" or whatever it is called.

The fact "that its only a college board" is irrelevant at the end of the day this is "only" a website and it is "only" one forum on it that she has been banned from if we start looking at it from that perspective

amp, what the hell are you doing?

i think ivan was correct to do what's been done.

me and my friends (my friends and i even) have a private board where we post up all kinds of crap - crap that is only relevant to our small-ish group of people.

when u go onto the carlow it board and have to sift through basically - bad coronation street episode chatter (as was said) i think it's getting too much.

there's pm, irc, msn blah blah etc.

I just hate it when so much time and energy is spent on trivialities when we live in a world of frightening abominations and real tragedies.

I do know where you are coming from, and it does get frustrating but relllaaax guy... otherwise we gots to close everything except the politics board

Crash

Paddy20 i feel you seem to suffer from a severe case of one-sidedness. everything i've seen that you have posted about you seem only to be able to admit that others err, but that you never do. as it is you just seem to believe that everyone else is wrong if their opinion is against yours (best depicted by that thread on AH that involved you adding everyone who's opinions you didnt like onto your ignore list.

Unreal queen there was a discussion on the mod board started by Ivan as to whether or not to ban you as you seemed to, from what i read, decide in every case that what he said was wrong and you could do whatever you damn well liked.
In the end TomTom decided he'd had enough of your threads and banned you. fair enough in my opinion. your contribution to boards seems to be finding distinctly unfunny crap and spamming it all over the place. For instance the stuff you posted on illuminati :rolleyes:

Whether the single thread you used as an example was enough for a ban on its own, probably not. but it was most likely the thread that broke the donkeys internet connection.

Dustaz

I quite agree P DIddy, We must be cautious not to let this banitis you speak of run out of control......LEST WE FORGET

echomadman

Did you bother reading the thread i linked to before you replied.

Of course I did.
you were warned in the thread. then you got banned
hence: ample warning.
stop whinging for a while and take your ban on the chin.

here's some advice
look at what you're posting,
think about it,
maybe write it down on a piece of paper, leave it for 5 or 10 mins,
then come back and if it still seems like a worthwhile thing to post,
you're probably wrong,

Paddy20

crash_000,

Goodness you have some memory. Believe me I do make mistakes, and err . Just like most humans. I am also very absent minded, and my diction needs improvement.

As for my "ignore list", well all I can say about that is at the moment I have only one person on it (I think) but I am always looking for new candidates, as it seems to work for me and stops me from totally losing my head. Then posting something really OTT and thereby getting myself banned in to the bargain.

Hope that gives you a better insight into my mindset.

Be lucky.

TheElder

The Council of Elders supports UnrealQueen.
Her threads were un-fairly locked.
She was unfairly banned.
Ivan has acted poorly as a moderator and his future actions shall be monitored by the Council.
