Soccer Bannings - Question

PHB

Ok, so I've been banned for this post:

HAHAH,
they are picking on Henry just cause they know they are on tilt!!!

HAHAHAHAH
This is ****ing hilarious.
Evil bastards

HAHAH
I will join with whatever Mourinho said about them.

This is great

Which is apparently considering trolling, i.e. saying it for the sole purpose of getting a rise out of somebody.

The things in italics is what Henry said.

So is it,

they are picking on Henry just cause they know they are on tilt!!!

OR

This is ****ing hilarious.
Evil bastards

or the HAHA's?

Which part of that is me just posting in order to try and get a response out of people?
Which part of it is in violation of the charter?

If it you thinking that I was trolling, i.e. saying it just to get a rise out of somebody, have you got any reason to think that? Is there osmething within my post that is implying that? Or is it just about your percieved intent?

Secondly, if that's the standard, why aren't any of these posts bannable offenses?

Call me al
well after that mistake they made in '99 when the left early, they had to get something right, eh?

quarryman
wow, so many bitter Utd fans here....

PHB, your head is in your ass, pull it out there.

This one is of particular note, I'd really like to be explained the difference between this post and trolling?

Gandalf
What galls me is the pathetic joy from mainly Man United fans here, you are absolutely pathetic !!!!!

Chucky the tree
Christ there are some bitter people on this forum. I suppose united fans have to vent there anger on someone\something.

This was posted by Chucky,

Chucky
Oh God, the callers on You're On Sky Sports are such idiots.

To which

WWM
you obviously havent been reading some of the views on here.

I would have thought that "PM the mod" has been said often enough that the regulars might get the hint...

Squirrel

This is between you and the mod that banned you. Take it to PM, their decision in the end after-all.

Boston

You're clearly at fault.

cournioni

The bannings are laughable. gandalf was moaning about why so many United fans were supporting Barca so I gave my exact reasons and got banned. Absolute joke.

PHB

Is there a rule that I'm meant to PM the mods about a complaint?
I was told to post it here by somebody else?

And as i said in the "other" thread, i have still a few hundred pages to read tru. But the gist of the banning is that you were acting like a child trying to get others to rise to you. Others may have done so i havent got that far yet.

Its the same for the others who were banned altho some are more blatant than others. If the admins feel an injustice has been carried out im sure the ban will be lifted.


/ could people please stop PMing about "he said this" and "she said that" FFS you all mods too and should know better.


kdjac

PHB

So would you like to expain yourself beyond that?

If it you thinking that I was trolling, i.e. saying it just to get a rise out of somebody,
have you got any reason to think that?
Is there something within my post that is implying that?
Or is it just about your percieved intent?

Is it just a general feeling?

You say I was acting like a child,

Which part exactly?

they are picking on Henry just cause they know they are on tilt!!!

Me pointing out they went back to him twice is childish?

so me laughing at Henry during his interview was acting like a child?

This is ****ing hilarious.
Evil bastards

Me saying this is hilarious.
Or pointing out that sky are evil for abusing the situation?

I will join with whatever Mourinho said about them.

Is it me paraphrasing what Henry said?

This is great

Or is it me saying that this is great, i.e., really entertaing?

The reason I press you on this is because I think it's a bull**** banning with no foundation except that somebody reported it, you saw it, went oh no no no, that appears to be flame baiting because somebody reported it, and then banned me for a week.

I'm sure if the admins do feel its unjustified they would overturn it, but i'd like to know why you think it was justified, rather than just a simple assertion that it was.

---

As for others, I said in the other thread, I understand that, and was only reposting it because it was deleted from the other thread.

p.s.
I'm only referring to my own post here, I don't know anything about the other posters or why they were banned.
Except one, which I reported, which was due to a clearly racist remark about Ronaldinho. So in that case, it is definally not the same as the others. There you are banning for abuse, while in this case, you are banning because you think it is trolling.

cournioni

Am I not right to be pissed off though KdjaC... If you were in the same situation and someone called St. Pat's supporters pathetic you would reply in the same way.

I was not trying to get a rise out of anyone, I was clearly stating my reasons why I supported Barca for the game. And if gandalf can't take that on the chin then as you said, he should know better him being one of the higher ranked mods/admins here.

If anyone was doing any trolling it was clearly gandalf. And you can't say you missed that KdjaC, because I had quoted it.

fade2black

To be honest if PHB was banned for that post I think it's extremely harsh. The soccer forum has become like a primary school where nothing seems to be allowed anymore. I appreciate that the soccer forum is somewhat harder than most forums to moderate but really, fair enough if there's abuse - ban, but surely the normal soccer banter should be allowed. If not then you may as well lock the forum and throw away the key because it will become a waste of space/bandwidth.

P.S. Back to the old sponsership system methinks.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Awwwwww, call the cops some trolls got banned.

BTW, I think that all of those banned are established users fade.

fade2black

Also, calling someone patethic has been bannable in the past, why not now?

That's probably the most trollish post I've seen in a long time. Trying to get a rise out of them fishy?

Really? Have you banned gandalf yet? Or is he beyond that... Being an ex Soccer mod and all...

PHB

Awwwwww, call the cops some trolls got banned.

Yeh, terrible isn't it.

Hey, wouldn't this be trolling under the current definition?
Aren't you just trying to get a rise out of somebody?
Or what's that about?

If I posted this on the soccer forum, would it be bannable?

Thanx 4 The Fish

Well so be it, ban me from the feedback forum then, I am sure that there is a note in the rules of this forum though that says that this type of thread is not what the feedback forum is for and so you too would be banned from t PHB.

Keep fighting the good fight boys.

btw PHB, if you felt you did nothing wrong then why did you apologise on thread ???

PHB

Could you please direct me to where it is to be posted? Nobody seems to know. Or am I meant to PM an admin or something?

Once again you completely ignore the point and the question, simply asserting. Are you actually going to respond or just continue ignoring it?

Thanx 4 The Fish

What question ? Was I trolling you, sorry, yes I was. Quick ban me from feedback so that I can start a thread in the mod forum fighting the good fight on all fronts...

BTW

1 - I did not ban you.
2 - You too seem to have avoided the question, if you feel you were not in the wrong why did you then feel the need to apologise ?

Dictionary.com wrote:

Apology - 1 - An acknowledgment expressing regret or asking pardon for a fault or offense.

PHB

1 - I did not ban you.

Yet you felt the need to jump in and comment for no particuarly reason.

Indeed, I'm soooo sorry for being highly amused by Henry's interview and Sky goading him into it.
I feel really bad about it, please, have my apoligies.

I assume this is what you are referring to.
I assume you can detect the sarcasm, so I assume you have a further point, so why don't you just post it

Thanx 4 The Fish

Nope no further point but if you apologise then surely you are accepting that you were guilty.

And as for the where can I complain, it is in the charter of this forum, is that the charter of another forum that you have chosen to ignore ??

PHB

Nope no further point but if you apologise then surely you are accepting that you were guilty.

Are you being serious?

And as for the where can I complain, it is in the charter of this forum, is that the charter of another forum that you have chosen to ignore ??

I looked in the charter, but I couldn't find any instructions.
I don't quite understand your instructions, but if you could direct me to where to go, i'd be quite happy to do so.

cournioni

So why exactly have I been banned T4TF?

Thanx 4 The Fish

Helpdesk. It does say it on the charter for this forum, which you maintain you have read above, perhaps your basic lack of understanding written English is contributing to the problem.

PORN, I did not ban you and have not read the whole thread and have not discussed the bas with KDJAC, but I will and I will let you know.

PHB

Alright cheers, wouldn't it just have been easier to tell me that, instead of insulting me for no particular reason?

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=51398671#post51398671

Thanx 4 The Fish

I did not insult you I pointed out that you said you had read the thread I mentioned and could not see the information, despite it being in the very first paragraph of the thread. Since you said you had read it and still could not find the information I was wondering how you failed to notice that bit, and surmised that it could be down to having trouble reading.

PHB

Ah, a logical conclusion, of course, me having the ability to read your messages would somewhat negate that.

Perhaps, if I used perhaps, in you completely missing the scarcasm of my apoligy, i'd be allowed insult you, sure, it would just be my surmising?
Once it's a logical conclusion with some foundation, it's not an insult right?

I'm sorry I am having alot of trouble understanding the thrust of (and the english in) that post, anyway, here's a suggestion, if you are interested in finding out why you were banned, why don't you PM KDJAC first and see what he says, you may get an answer to your liking a little quicker, if you are interested in just kicking off then why don't you post a thread on three different forums about the same thing, oh wait a second...

PHB

As for the previous post,

You made a logical conclusion, where you suggested that it was my inability to understand written english that led to the problem.

I pointed out that since you were unable to detect my sarcasm in the thread, I could make a logical conclusion about you, but just because I did, it doesn't mean I could insult you.

For example, if you insulted my intelligence, just because it was a logical conclusion, with some basis in your mind, doesn't mean it's not an insult.

I did, I PM'd him on IRC to ask

[20:27:24] <kdjac> yo
[20:27:27] <irishdavew> this is phb
[20:27:32] <irishdavew> i was wondering why i've been banned

[20:28:22] <irishdavew> This is great
[20:28:29] <irishdavew> This?
[20:29:09] <irishdavew> Is that it?
[20:29:28] <kdjac> yup
[20:30:00] <irishdavew> Which part of that is against the charter?
[20:31:44] <irishdavew> hello?
[20:33:14] <kdjac> trolling?
[20:33:22] <irishdavew> trolling?
[20:33:36] <irishdavew> as in, saying it just to get a rise out of people?
[20:33:45] <kdjac> in general yes.
[20:33:56] <irishdavew> so that's why I was banneD?
[20:34:03] <irishdavew> that you felt that post was me trying to get a rise out of people
[20:34:13] <kdjac> http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=82 << Feedback or if your a mod read the page upoin page of reported posts relating to that thread.
[20:34:32] <irishdavew> yeh I know the feedback form
[20:34:41] <irishdavew> it's just useless to find out cause people can't ever explain

I went to the mod forum cause it's easier just to discuss it without people butting in for no reason, just so I could get an anwser to my questions, which I had seen in the past in the mods forum.

Then I was instructed by another mod on that forum to come here(also Kdjac), which I did.

Then I was told to go to helpdesk, which I have.

Lot of irony here considering the trollish bullsh*t responses of T4TF.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Not ironic at all TBH. I am not the mod of feedback and can be banned from here just as others can.

Nice of you to show up Cult, was about time you commented, this thread has been around for almost ten minutes now.
