Banned from World of Warcraft forums.

Why exactly? A change of moderator is in need if the moderator is incapable of fulfilling his role from a neutral stance.

Given that Binomate is giving up WoW, I have banned him/her from the WoW forum. I find it especially ironic that Binomate would report posts in this thread, especially after Koneko lifted normal personal abuse restrictions.

Also odd, is that Binomate would lift him/herself above pseudo ethics in a game and then expect a rigid code of ethics in a forum about that game.

Thread moved to The Thunderdome

Just saw the explanation in thunderdrome. I never asked to be banned. I never implied I wanted a ban. I never broke the rules of the charter. I only reported posts that contained insults directed at me. How is that worthy of a ban?

Scammed some people for the laugh.

This is the thread in question.http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=54441388#post54441388

Since when have your actions in computer games become grounds for a ban on boards.ie? I'd like to see that in the charter please.

So the bottom line is that if you're thinking of scamming someone, do it. I recommend it.

i think you have absolutely no grounds for an objection tbh.

I don't know, personally I wouldn't ban someone for saying they cheated or hacked, or for any bad behaviour in-game. I'd ban them for rising people though.

But I find its always a nice balance to get someone like that in a forum, so you get to see the other side of it, ask questions and get answers, and so on. Just to see what you're up against on the servers. That's just me though.

If you can quote the charter where it say that doing so will result in a ban then I'll gladly request that this thread be locked and move along.

Banned by Amp. It was probably warranted.

Meh, I'd probably have banned you too. Sounds quite childish, and I don't doubt that you were aware of the reaction you were going to get on the WoW forum when you posted the thread.

I expected there to be mixed reactions, how ever there were only negative reactions. But that worked just as well because it allowed me to bring up some of the major flaws with the game.

I only ever trolled After Hours, and I got banned fair and square for that.

i've created a lolcat picture in my mind, that's just perfect for this thread. I'm transmitting it telepathically for the next half hour if anyone's interested.

Starting a thread in the WoW forum bragging about how you ripped off WoW players isn't trolling?

Keep trying. It involves a tiger, a wheelchair, and 15 distinct tablespoons.

Ban was over the top imo. K, he scammed a few nubs - it happens everyday.
Not that I'm condoning the activity, but it's part and parcel of WOW - it was only a matter of time before we had a boardsie who engaged in it.

That doesnt make it right.

I assume though you can be banned outside of what it says in the charter?

Nothing makes it wrong in the first place. Mods, you'd want to ban anyone who doesn't condone the act of ganking low level characters or causing other players grief in game as well.

You've got my motivations all wrong. I did this not because I was leaving and wanted to go out with a bang. It was purely for the laugh of seeing stupid people send me angry messages when they realise they've just lost all their stuff.

I wonder if that is amp's reasoning behind banning you, maybe he thinks it's fun to see you get angry after losing your access. Would that make it ok?

Nice of you to jump to the conclusion that I'm angry. Also, this was not his reasoning. He stated his reasoning.

You're jumping to the conclusion that I am jumping to conclusions. I didn't state, I wondered.

Sounds like you got scammed out of your forum access Binomate.
