    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055421020

    I wasn’t even warned before hand and I don’t see how the offending post was even off topic. That thread was about the new moderators of the forum. Other posters gave there hopes on what would change so I don’t see how my posts were off topic. Given the events of the past few days with a thread in feedback I relayed my fears about the new moderators and it looks like they have be realised already.

    According to the moderator, orestes my:
    posts in this thread have led to you being banned from the Pro Wrestling forum for one week for their overall content.

    I wish for this banning of 7 days to be over turned.

    Thanks.

    this isn't feedback, it shouldn't be in the feedback forum.

    Take it to helpdesk.

    For what it's worth your comments were pretty ignorant and out of order on a thread welcoming the new moderators of PW.

    Yes, it's dreadful the way they didn't let you act up in a thread welcoming new mods. I am sure Vince is delighted how you were posting in response to his first modship.

    When we had a new mod thread on the noc forum for Orestes and watna,some users made comments,not as inflammatory as yours,and were warned. Your comments were worse/more **** stirring. So i'd see the banning as fair,especially for 7 days.
    Oh-in my opinion.

    You basically insulted Orestes on how The Nocturnal Forum was run in your first post in the thread man, there was no need for it.

    Long version: A thread was started to welcome new moderators. You complained about new mods being appointed (and took a cheap dig at one of the other forums that I mod in the process). When someone commented lightheartedly about your little dig you proceeded to drag the thread off topic and get arguementative. After discussion amongst the forum mods regarding your actions it was decided to issue a one week ban.

    Short version: you were being a troll and got a ban.
