Banned from NUI Maynooth boards

Placebo

Not sure if this is the right place, but i just got time thought i get clearence.
Recently the maynooth message board college society got closed and a few people migrated to boards.ie, new mods were assigned.

I got banned for saying "Mith slept with shaka"
a joke but allegedly Mith and Shaka were siblings from the message board that got closed down, they dont exist on boards.ie, dont exist on the maynooth board anymore either. The mod states that it was an insult at 2 respectable members of the recent message board.
Bit of a grey area, Its like saying Jack slept with Jane, im sure theyre siblings on some message board, somewhere in the world.

A warning maybe ? but a ban ?

Beruthiel

I'd like to see a link to the thread in question,
I also would not see that comment as a joke, but would like to see the context.
personal abuse is personal abuse,
why not just take the ban.

Hobart

How long was the ban for? What other reasons would the mod have for banning you, would you think?

Zillah

Is it a permanent ban?

Gone West

This pm conversation sums it up.
Basically, just because two people dont use these boards, and the fact that he used their online screen names does not negate his responsibility not to insult people.
I recieved 3 complaints about that particular post.
The people he referenced are relatively well known among posters on the board, it seems.
He was previously warned not to troll.
He is a consistent troll. 1 2 3Yes, the trolling wasnt terribly bad, but about 2/3 of his posts are in some way trolling.

That was a little nasty.
You were previously asked not to troll the forum.
Please don't do so again, as the next ban will be permanent.
thanks,
FuzzyLogic.

okay so mith and shaka are two fictional names ? they do not exist [not on mikado either anymore] so you banned me because of what? this is boards.ie not mikadosoc.ie, kapeesh?
lift the ban or il take it higher.

I am not one to answer to threats like that. You will sit out your ban, its only for 2 weeks. You have every right to escalate what you believe to be a bad moderating descision. Fire away. However I do not think you will find much sympathy with the admin.

Your posts are largely trolling.
You posted an untrue remark about 2 well known maynooth persons(who happen to be siblings). You know what you did, saying that they are fictional will not help you.

thanks,
Peter

you must be retarded, 2 well known maynooth persons ? is he called mith in person ? dillusional

Like I said, he has every right to post here.
But in actual fact, its only a 2 week ban from a forum. About a week is up allready.
Like I said in pm, just sit it out.
I was tempted to bump it up because he reffered to me being "retarded" twice on these boards, but I decided against it.

A random comment about two completely random people then?
I dont think so.

Also, (now I know this is not 100% relevant here)
But he was a previously banned user(about 10 times actually) on the other forums.
I know his actions there have no bearing here, but perhaps you will see that he is no "innocent poster" who got temp-banned for making a joke, but rather a consistent troll.

Zillah

I dunno Fuzzy, I think he's serious. One PM to DeVore and you're finished!

Tar.Aldarion

I hear fuzzy is one of those furriners, I demand he is stripped of rank.

Zombrex

Wait I'm confused ...

Placebo if you posted the joke not knowing that certain people actually used the names where did the names Mith and Shaka come from? It doesn't seem like names one would make up on the fly?

Placebo

hahah taking it higher i meant, reporting the decision.
See here where you go wrong "previously banned 10 times" not only is that in correct but its ir-relevant, i dont think youre in the right frame of mind to be a mod here with the "past" and everything, bottom like mith and shaka dont even exist, unless theyre real names were used, i dont mind the ban, im just enquiring further for future refrence.

Doctor J

I'll take it higher if you want, off up the mountains for... a walk, yes, off up the mountains for a walk, that should do it :rolleyes:

Well I mean he shouldn't be banned or he should be banned.

Saying he shouldn't have been banned but it is only 2 weeks so don't make a fuss is not very fair.

Though I am still not following this at all (see above post), so I have no opinion as yet on if he should or should not have been banned.

RuggieBear

only a two week ban.....with pm's like that i'd be increasing it

Placebo

well i admit to trolling, i just dont think the correct 'incident' was choosen to ban me.

kaimera

lift the ban or il take it higher.

*I'll ftr

heh, make it a month for being silly, rude, threatening, *insert more appropriate word/phrase here* in PM.

Sympathy -- for that comment.

So you're point is that you're a troll, and you don't think you were banned soon enough, or for long enough?

So pick something from your illustrious history and pretend that's what you're banned for :rolleyes:

As I read it,

You were previously asked not to troll the forum.

indicates you were banned for repeated trolling, the incident in question being the push over the cliff, as it were.

no, i kept it clean so i didnt expect to be banned.
Its fine anyway, i wont comment on siblings sleeping together in the future.
sorry for the hassel fuzzy

That's clever.... abusing mods on the feedback board. If anyone called me a dick/retarded in a post of PM they'd be banned on my boards.

However, Kaimera not good that you're calling him a dick either.

Pot kettle black, your comments did not help. Being a dick/ Being a rude ? could have choosen your words differently.

For the retarded comment make it a month.

And you could have chosen to be less threatening in your PMs.

^^^^ familiar?

Placebo

Pedantic much ? i guess they came across threatning, i already apologised to fuzzy, nothing more i can/will do.

regi

Maybe there was a very good reason to close down the Maynooth forums...

Tar.Aldarion

So he got banned;


decided to take it higher;


Furrious mod comes in and sorts things out;




and now they shall live happy ever after?

RuggieBear

Sounds like the CS forum of the college world

And I edited my post, I apologise [in public no less] for the original comment. I was quick off the mark and I was wrong.

The world will not end because a mod was wrong :rolleyes:
