Try PM'ing:

Thaedydal for your PI banning
&
Smashey for your adverts query

Looks like they've been dealing with you

smashey

You were banned. Adverts issues should be posted on adverts.ie support.

kaimera

Locked.

billy the squid

You were banned from Limerick City for using racist slur directed towards members of the Travelling Community.

You were sent a PM in relation to this. As i sent the PM after I banned you you may not have received it at the time you started this thread.

Lazers pew pew

whats racist about the word piebald

billy the squid

Don't get snotty with me, if you read the PM you know which word you used.

Lazers pew pew

I dont mind being banned from the personal issues forum, i jut read the threads to make me feel better about my own life

i do feel i 've been banned harshly from the limerick forum and adverts forum
its only a 2 week ban but i was in discussion with a potential buyer about my car

RoundyMooney

Being rather economical with the truth there (in relation to crossing mods), aren't we?

Whatever about your PI ban, you were banned from adverts for two weeks for ignoring instruction from mods (me mainly) on thread.

-On your own car advert, you posted up your phone number, and made misleading posts about non existent price drops.

-On another users ad, you threadspoiled, and when asked to wind your neck in, you refused, and acted, in a nutshell, like a smartarse.

Ergo, you got two weeks off.

Comedy is about the timing and I think he timed that one pretty well.

RoundyMooney

adverts isn't a comedy club.

It's hard enough modding it as is, without allowing free for all discussion there, and having to keep that between the ditches as well.

At the end of the day, peoples possessions and money are involved, so there's no room for sillybuggers.

i cant see the post as i'm banned

which one was it?

Lazers pew pew

the hoover comment

just brightening up a dull thread, anyway the hoover was for free, not as if folks money was at stake

RoundyMooney

Not the point, (and not the point of this thread either).

If that's the case, we might as well make Free Stuff the Thunderdome of adverts.

"Free to take away, one pair of yore ma's kecks, slightly soiled".

I told her not to have the mutton vindaloo

seamus

Yeah....you're not getting unbanned.

regardless of money being at stake you were asked to do something and didnt do it.

If money was at stake surely you would be more inclined to follow the rules?

fcuk me adverts is ruled with an iron fist. suppose it has to be though. Would a post deletion and a warning not have been more civil or is there a zero tolerance (again understandable in that section) when it comes to off topic posts

Lazers pew pew

i'm this close (puts index finger and thumb close together) to selling my car, had a member pm directly and now cant deal with him anymore

anyway, arent you supposed to get a warning before a ban

smashey

Lazers pew pew,

The infraction I gave you should have been a ban. I gave you the benefit of the doubt.

They try to be as zero-tolerance as possible. If you remember the old FS forums, someone would post something for sale and instantly it would be a 60-post thread about how you can buy the same thing for a tenth of the cost in outer Mongolia or how it was sooo yesterday and no-one would ever want to buy it.

Ultimately anyone who talked down the item would come along and try to get it cheap.

Adverts.ie is supposed to work a little more like a proper classifieds section than a flea market, so people can browse, but standing around talking crap is a no-no.

Lazers pew pew

too many mods with too much time on their hands
how many t-shirts a year do they pay ye with?

seamus

I'm too fat for T-Shirts

I personally found the hoover comment hilarious and harmless.

Fair enough I see the need to carefully moderate adverts.ie for obvious reasons but being too heavy-handed about it will piss a lot of users off and cripple the growth of the site.

I wonder what the expected lifespan of the OP is..

I thought the hoover comment was funny, but i think the poster needs to take his medicine and stop whining about the infraction..

Cuddlesworth

One of the beautiful parts about not being a mod is that I can find the hover comment funny. Unfortunately for Lazers Pew Pew, after reading his previous posts that seems to be the highlight.
