Dublin city bans

    Recently I was banned from Dublin city for reacting to moronic and frankly stupid posts by people on the site. Now I can understand mods sticking to the letter of the law and banning for what they see as personal attacks however, I believe that if the mods tackle the root cause and start banning people who comment with complete rubbish to threads or indeed hijack threads, then proper users of the boards would not get frustrated and banned for pointing out the shortcomings of annoying “contributors” on this site.

    I would be interested in what other users of the boards feel on this topic. – No doubt this will attract a few moronic posts but maybe, just maybe it wont!

    If you have a problem with the moderation of a particular forum then you should PM the mods of said forum.

    If they don't give you the response you require then take it up with a cmod or smod.

    The policing has been outsourced to the local junkies and chuggers....

    OP, posters who respond to idiotic posts, spam or trolls are as bad, if not worse, than the original culprit.

    So instead of reporting the post and letting a Mod deal with the problem you personally abused these people?

    That's one of the most deserved bans I've ever seen discussed in feedback.

    yah, used to happen me all the time, but then i just realised it was the women's fault, so i dumped them all. Of course I killed them all first.

    But with your mother, she has me standing like a lighthouse every morning, and evening. Now, if you'd just excuse me for a moment...
