    I have a general wonderingment more than anything.....

    I received an infraction from the 'Ladies Lounge', reason being? ''Inappropriate Language''...

    Post in question: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=56603187#post56603187

    Now, firstly, it says nothing in the charter regarding innapropriate language.
    Secondly, i assume the innapropriate language is referring to the work cock? If this is innapropriate, why isn't it blocked out by the boards master server person down in the basement there...

    Ya see, **** is blocked, but cock isn't.. see? cock cock cock...

    So, is this infraction justified? My post was obviously meant to be tongue in cheek, like most posts on boards.ie.

    Are we making up reasons to infract people now?

    Like i say, general wonderingment.

    From wandering in and out of the ladies lounge it does seem like infractions are handed out for nothing, just because a certain post doesn't bode well.

    Those women! Fickle creatures.

    Well if I was trying to be amusing it wouldn't be trolling.

    so make up your mind which is it.

    Well in this post you said f*** so meh you got an infraction and deserved it even if it was in reference to the cock post. Big deal. It's not like you can't go to the US anymore because of your infraction record.

    Because the "cock" post was quite a trollish one?

    Maybe i misinterperet what a troll is meant to be, as i don't see how the post is anything more than a joke tbh, on par with hundreds of posts posted on a daily basis on this site.

    And like ntlbell said, that wasn't the reason for the infraction...

    I think there's a few moderator's that need to read up on the actuall meaning of the word "troll" it's getting thrown around constantly now and half the people using it don't understand the word.

    So what? He was infracted and deserved to be infracted. It's not going to get overturned due to a technicality like a conviction would be if the paperwork was filled out incorrectly.

    Well the so what is if you're going to infract someone that explain why so the user doesn't end up in feedback wondering why?

    common sense i would of thought
