Banned for one week a few months ago on the North County Dublin forum for apparently making a racist joke ... ... ME! :eek:

The Mod told me to PM her back after one week and she'd lift the ban, my arse!. Still banned

Other than that nope.

Exact same happened me - just replace 'North County Dublin' with 'Humor'

And I still refuse to bend over and apologise!

Can you not access the brand spanking new Stand-up Comedy forum then?

Banned from humour well over a year back. Still banned, tho I never asked for the ban to be lifted.

I've just been banned from adverts for mentioning my own thread! The thread author didn't mind at all but the mod just banned me a few minutes ago for 3 weeks!I told him that the rules I agreed to when I singed up are right here:

Still banned from cuckoo's nest for posting in the "Post here to be banned" thread. Was worth it

Took a week off on the motors forum, for calling a spade a spade, or rather a twat a twat....

Never, but given the foul fcuking mood I'm in to-night ... :rolleyes:

Was banned from Accomodation for referring to some people who holiday in Bulgaria as Ken-ack-ers. Which was fair enough as A&P is a very respectable spot and I should have minded my language.

Was also banned from AH after inciting some man hating comments from a man hater. She was hating on teh mens, I had to represent. Badly

Was banned form soccer with my first ever post there. Referred to Man United as 'The Scum'. I think I had a fair point.

I was banned from Politics after the general election. Amongst a plether of mildly abusive terms (my own included), I was given a weeks ban for referring to Bertie Ahearn as "a self-serving twat". After this foul outburst, I was banned. It was no worse than other language being used. When I PM'ed the mod he said he didn't read the post, but banned me as soon as someone reported it. Reported it? WTF. One can imagine which party mod and user are affiliated too. Said it was for personal abuse and to PM him in a weeks time to get the ban lifted. Didn't bother my ar$e. They can kiss my left one if they think I'd apologise for something as innocuous as that. Petty minded IMO.

He didn't ask you to apologise, he just asked you to PM him to unban you which is standard practise.

Unless Bertie is a member of Boards, thats a lot of twat !

Should have taken it to feedback.

I see your point, but here's how I see it. Standard practice if I'd done something worthy of a ban, which I hadn't. In my view, in a day when people can say ar$e, sh1te and bullsh1t on national daytime radio (Moncrieff, Neil Francis and Gerry Ryan in case anyone asks), to be banned for calling the country's most high profile and arguably most controversial political/celebrity individual a "twat", and who was not identified as being another poster on "boards.ie" is petty, inaccurate and wrong. Even PMing the mod for readmittance to the Politics board would be an admission of some sort of guilt on my behalf. I have better things to do with my time (um...like post here:o)than argue the toss(er) with someone who felt it necessary to report me for that. Ergo: me saying they can kiss my left one.

If I wasn't a mod and didn't need access to the soccer forum to move posts there, I'd probably have done the same thing.

Nobody is asking you to apologise or admit guilt or anything else.
Like AH, a lot of people are banned from Politics.
It's hard to remember who you banned and when their ban is up.
This is why we ask people to PM us when the ban is up.
We're only asking you to remind us to unban you. That's all.

Either you got ecksor on a good day* or is was someone else who banned you.
People have been permanently banned for acting the bollix in the Mustard forum.
No. I'm not joking.


*A good day, like when he's with his cousin, actress Jennifer Connolly.

SimpleSam06

Yes indeed, banned twice in short order from paranormal (I had to look up the name of the forum, I'd forgotten it). The first time the mod apologised and unbanned me after a fairly light hearted thread in feedback, no harm no foul.

The second time was a weeks ban apparently for "personal abuse", where the mod in question was entirely unable to tell me where and to who I had been abusive.

Now in fairness I was pulling the piss a bit with the discussion (I'd challenge any rational human being not to have), but I stayed well within the charter. Twice was enough for me, I've no patience with trigger happy mods, and I decided paranormal would have to soldier on without the benefit of my contributions, never bothered to PM to get the ban lifted. I'm sure the denizens of that corner of the web are dismayed. :rolleyes:

You're new.
The first payment comes after a month on the job.

You get a bonus for every ban and ther are also rewards for feedback threads which run in your favour.

Yeah.

The bonus is worked out as a percentage of your Mod Salary.

The Mod Salary increases year-on-year, as does the ban-bonus.

Also, the ban bonus increases after each ban.

So.

Ban Bonus = X%Mod Salary + Yearly Ban Bonus Increment + y (where y = current ban number)

I mean the Rugger crowd are hardly the rowdiest are they? Or my own team, I'd hardly be banning them.

I don't even know where the News&Media forum is.

I have over 1,000 posts and I've never been banned. How's that for classy?
