    Can I please be told, why i have been banned.

    I emailed the mod- he has decided to ignore me
    I have emailed Boards - likewise
    Thd charter says I should get a warning.
    I never used vulgar language
    I never castagated an unplesent inference in regards to some elses business.
    I dont know what i did wrong


    theese are the mods comments

    Should the mod not be banned for foul and abusive comments !!!!

    You were banned yesterday. Which, was a Sunday.

    Neither Mods or Admins are here 24/7. All the work they do is in their own time. So foot-stamping because something that happened last night hasn't been resolved by lunchtime today won't get you anywhere.

    The reason you were banned is because you used Bands & Musicians forum to advertise/troll for business. We're not here as a platform to provide free advertising for you/help you drum up business.

    I dont think just looking for info or accepting that a Mod refuses to answer a email is foot stamping.
    I think the the vulgarity and the unprofessionalism of the comments were unwarranted and unbecomming of a erson in a responsible position ,
    I am not trolling for busisness as all i am doing is offering help and support.
    People have been banned for less vulgar language

    So
    where can a manager look for bands if not in the musicans contact.
    Is it ok to be told i am talking utter ****e
    is it ok for the mods not following the charter that thay set down
    Is it ok to be accused of footstamping when all i am asking for is an explaination

    Regards and have a nice day

    Your definition of "offering help and support" differs from ours, then.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 PMT


    your responce is welcome is perhaps devoid of any real answers or substance , indeed this effort of trying to extract information seems quite bizarre all i really want to know is

    My mod has stilll decided to ignore my request. you have involved your self in my quest.

    loads of contacts and threads offer studio time, production , and even hire of musicians, and indeed if my definition of help differs from your why not at leas have a discussion rather than reverting to slightly extended monosylabic retorts that neiher answer, solve, resolve or lend my impression to what a good or effictive mod should be. I understand you do this of your own free time an i applaud your hard word and dedication. but we are all human and if the mods dont folloe their own rules, (no warnings, Bad vulgar comments) tem where or who de we rely on for a standard of professionalisim this site deserves..


    Personal comments against me, rude and vulgar comments about my work are not welcome and should not be allowed.

    The point I'm making is that what you did is wrong. How you've reacted is wrong.

    You're still relatively new around here. It might make sense for you to see how things work here before you start throwing your weight around and making demands.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 PMT


    can i have my ban revoked please,

    Can i have a decent reply please. i am not making demands I am asking a simple number of questions and again Mods retort with personal comments

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 PMT


    can someone please reply--

    is it too much to ask for some mod help please-- i am still banned!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,924 ✭✭✭✭BuffyBot


    Again - pointing out we're not here 24/7 waiting to reply just to you.

    You've got an answer. You don't like it, and while that's unfortunate, it's not going to change.

    I've no intention of overturning the forum Moderators desicion in this case.

    even if his origional decision broke the protocol set down by the mods.

    come on fairs fair, he never even respondeds to my emails.

    I understand your loyality to your collegue, but I do feel at leat the most i deserved was a warning


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,924 ✭✭✭✭BuffyBot


    What protocol?

    And we do not have "colleagues" - as I explained earlier, the moderators on this site volunteer their time. Most of them wouldn't know each other if they walked by each other on the street.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 PMT


    Thanks for the reply,
    the protocol i refer to is the charter set down.

    In the charter it states that someone will be given a warning before being banned !!!!!!.

    I really didnt know i was doin anything wrong .

    The punishment should fit the crime-- a total ban seems hard, espically when you read the mods xommments about my Company---!!!

    Again please can i have this reviewed.

    Thanking you in advance


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,924 ✭✭✭✭BuffyBot


    Charters are guidelines, not contracts.

    Now, as for the ban being permanent, well that's another thing. I'd imagine it can be removed by the Mod in question - but if you've approached him in the same way as you approached this thread I can see why he might not be too enamoured with you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 PMT


    how does one start the long , lonely walk of redemption .

    i really am sorry- i really am i just got such a shock, i am new to this and it was so unexpected. i dont know what the norm is and for my immaturity and eagerness i offer huble apoligies to all who i have hurt.

    Regards

    sorry all I was away for a while and have only been catching up with PMs now.

    the ban was permanent due to the default (leave blank if spam) ban setting when your banning someone, which was assumable given OPs post count of 1.

    Anyways, lifted the ban seeing as how the OP seems not to be a 1 post spam wonder that is all too common on bands / musicians


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,924 ✭✭✭✭BuffyBot


    Sounds like a reasonable solution to me :)
