    whilst im new to boards.ie i am not new to bulletin boards in general, so can one of the S or C Mods have a look at this thread and tell me if i was banned unfairly or not.

    i have never come accross the like of it before, im not trying to rabble-rouse or rat on people here, i was just enquiring as i was a little bit shocked, especialy as i never received a PM informing me of or explaining the situation.


    here is the thread in question,
    thank you:

    I'm only a registered user, and not a moderator of as high ranks as you would like, but in my opinion, that ban was deserved. maybe, you weren't doing anything too out of the way,but at the same time, the mod was completely fair in warning you, and you chose to ignore it.

    The mod undermined you because you were questioning another seller when his intentions were not bad, and he was being honest. Thats thread spoiling imo. If you wanted to complain, you should have taken it to Feedback or PM earlier.

    You were told to take it to pm or adverts feedback and you didn't listen. Ban seems quite fair. Not an smod or admin but just throwing in my 2c.

    Yah, i would agree with the above statement
    Not an smod or admin but just throwing in my 2c.
    But AC, you're better than any smod! ;)

    btw, I've pm'd Lemming of the existence of this thread to have his input as well.

    why should i PM a mod who in his own words couldnt even be arsed PMing me to advise me of the situation, iv never come across a good mod who has ever taken that position....ever.

    iv had a look over his "moderation" of that forum and he does seem to be on a bit of a power trip, not alll of the time but quite frequently.
    swearing at members, typing said swear words in extremely large font, having a my word is la type of attitude is not exactly welcoming to the communtiy.

    he then went to the trouble of stalking me in another thread, and posted something deliberately designed to inflame me, yet wasnt bothered PMing me about my infraction:

    Tbh I would never be in that forum so can't really comment on that but if you could find some examples of such actions and stick them in here then it'd definitely help your case.

    EDIT: Scratch that, this isn't a thread to discuss his moderation of the forum. Adverts has its own feedback as well.

    He gave a clear warning. If you want to discuss his moderating decision then pm him or start a thread in adverts feedback. You ignored this so why should he bother pming you (although I still think mods should pm a user when they've banned them).

    He doesn't moderate that forum. Outside of the forums they mod, a mod is just a normal user like yourself.

    im sorry if this is the wrong forum, i was just advised to ake it to feedback, can a mod movr it please.

    anyways i have found the following examples of his un-professionalism and downright pig ignorance:

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055299476

    Actually, Blazher .... "sale on hold" implies that something was communicated in the background since you never agreed to the sale on the thread before that point. The wording of your post suggests you were waiting for further word back from the poster in question.

    I know the f*cking rules. Very well in fact considering I was involved in maintaining the old For-sale forum charter, drafting the current set on adverts.ie and the airsoft specific ones after I pushed for the airsoft adverts forum to be created. How well do you know them? I have said time and again - and you can do a google through the old boards.ie for sale forums too if you like stretching back over the last 4/5 years - that a sale is not agreed on-thread unless we see offer and acceptance first.

    There was no jumping the gun. Moderation was carried out by what was written on-thread. Which is where everything is supposed to be f*cking written anyway.

    Read. The. F*cking. Rules.

    The Full adverts rules, which are summarised above and linked, can be found here. And I do so suggest you all read them before you turn around and thread-spoil by saying say "You can get 'x' cheaper on ebay', which is why monksavage has just been banned yet again.

    If you are going to quote businesses, don't make dishonest quotes by pricing outside of the EU (why should be very obvious). And especially don't quote auction sites like eBay (why should be really f*cking obvious)

    This isn't a profession. Mods don't get pain, we're volunteers. His tone seems aggresive and he is using curses but no one here will get banned for that. Saying that, I still believe we should try to be professional (for want of a better word) to a certain degree but it is by no means a requirement.

    power tripping

    What's wrong there? Honestly. Is it the "any infractions will recieve no warning" part? If so, there is no problem there. A moderator is not obliged to give any warning before banning someone. Lemming gave a warning about threadspoiling and it was ignored. This is very frustrating and it's a pain in the ass so he decided to hand out bans instead of warning people who might just ignore him. Seems pretty fair to me.

    Nothing wrong there either. People broke the rules, he deleted their posts and left an on thread warning to everyone to stay on topic. I don't think anyone got banned there.

    i know you dont get paid and that its also not a profession, but that is no excuse for being unprofessional when so many other mods are,
    i volunteer for a charible organisation, would it be right for me to carry on like that simply because i dont get paid???


    fair enough, but why does this place even exist if no action will be taken agains a mod who is out of line?
    also how many seperate complaints against a single mod would it take for action to be taken against them???

    The thing is I wouldn't consider him out of line (remember I'm only a humble mod an admin may disagree with me here). It could only take one complaint, it might not even take a complaint. If an admin thinks a mod is out of line then they'll deal with it regardless of the amount of complaints if any.

    You were warned, you ignored the warning and were banned. Whats the problem?

    You obviously do not have a clue how modding a forum as busy as the Airsoft adverts is? And remember all moderators are volunteers and if they do step over the line the admins have and will remove them.

    Go "fight da powa" somewhere else. You have deliberately and willfully trolled in that thread and elsewhere and my patience for you has reached its limit. Quite frankly you are no loss to the airsoft adverts forum

    i dont know who you are but you obviously know me from somewhere, so this basically boils down to my skin colour, you racist fúcking cúnt.
    i have half a mind to consult my brief over this ignorant and unashamedly prejudiced "moderator".

    would you have the balls to say it to my face or are you just a closet racist?

    Not really unexpected, under a bridge is right.

    Speaking as one who has to deal with retarded behaviour on adverts day in day out, I totally understand why Lemming gives short shrift to those who don't bother their arse abiding by the rules.

    Idiots like you just perpetuate the cliche.
