    I'm only to say this once:

    Ignorance is no excuse

    "I didn't know it was one of their gigs", is not the mod's problem, it's yours. It's your responsibility to check before posting.

    End of.

    Quoted for truth.

    do you really want me to check back through a load of threads to pick out actual bands people have mentioned that just happended to be playing an mcd gig to check the level of double standards?



    oh,, and just because you dont know all the facts of a given situation at all times does not make you ignorant. it simply means you just havnt heard about it yet.

    That is ridiculous... The Mod should have just PM'd you saying it was a MCD gig or whatever - I wouldn't know if a gig was them either.

    Idiot! A banning is Stupid!!
    Oh do shut up. Of course you wouldn't know which promotions company it is - most of us wouldn't. So then, considering there are stickies all over the damn site, you do a bit of research on the gig first by googling it.

    Or you could use the wonderful super informatic machine in front of you to find out.

    There's more to the web than Google and boards. It took me about 20 seconds to find out what the story was with said band.

    To all the people posting in the feedback thread - can you see now the difference that the tone of a thread makes? The reason this thread is going the way it's going is purely and simply to do with the title.


    Good point dude. Prime example of a simple decision by the mod being correct.

    Also a prime example of a thread that should be locked quickly. Nothing to see here ...

    If you feel you must.

    It's a sitewide ban on their name, gigs, events etc etc. Yes some will slip thru but for the most part [99% plus I'd say] it's removed by the mod/cmods/smods when noticed.

    Bingo.

    OP, logic would dictate two course of action.

    One, admit you were in the wrong as boards.ie has certain rules and standards that it operates under. You broke them. It doesn't matter that you didn't know what they were, there are a million avenues to find them out through the very obvious Charter of each forum. Then you can go away, serve out the ban and return to post.

    Two, you can continue slagging and insulting said Mod which would pretty much guarantee a continuation of Lolcats, general harsh feedback about how silly you really are and possible and eventual site ban because i don't see you dealing witht he above very well.

    Look, you're in the wrong. I'd be more empathetic than some - as I said, I don't like the way Feedback is gleefully pounced on by people to use for ridiculing and belittling, but this is very black and white. You breached certain rules: apologise - you're not a victim being singled out for ill-treatment - and move on.

    We're hardly going to avoid mentioning their name in a thread discussing your ban :rolleyes:

    This is called an exceptional case. If I'd locked this, you would have just started another thread here, right? Then I'd have to ban you.

    You might have had some sympathy had you just enquired in a civil fashion, but after the above I doubt you'll get many backers now.

    Yore Ma probably neglected to tell you, but manners is always a good idea.

    You know what. If you had any sense, you'd have admitted your mistake, apologised to kev and taken the ban on the chin.

    Instead, as you haven't realised how seriously we take this, I'm site banning you for a month. Which is what should have happened in the first place.

    You made a couple of mistakes posting your grievance.

    1. You posted in after hours
    2. Your thread title includes "mod is an idiot"
    3. Your opening post ends with "power hungry mod twats"

    If you had approached it with more a level head you would be listened to.

    You are having a laugh shirley? You have just made a laughing stock of the entire Feedback process, which is essentially a place to air grievances.

    Absolutely crazy.
