Unfair Moderating in Rugby Forum.

Co45

Hey,
So I was posting in a match thread. During the match I criticised O'Leary from Munster, O'Gara from Munster, Earls from Munster and Heaslip from Leinster.
I criticised those players for mistakes they happened to make during the game. My criticism was not abuse or anything even close it was simply, poor play by X. I was banned from the thread for "targetting Munster players."
Now I was not doing anything of the sort it just so happened that 3 of the 4 players I criticised were from Munster. I was criticising IRISH players and think this was completely unfair. I tried to reason with Ruggie

PM 1.

imo you are only mentioning munster players and you are trying to derail the thread. No need for any more of your posts we all know what they will contain now.

My next PM isnt coming up in my sent box for some reasons but essentially I said I wasn't targetting anyone and just really want to post in the thread. I went on to say that I'd criticise just Leisnter and Ulster players when they make mistakes and asked RuggieBear if this would be o.k

He didn't reply I then sent this

RugieBear???

I recieved this reply

if you have a problem with this moderation take it to the cmod and/or the boards complaints forum

I sent the following and recieved the following reply.

RuggieBear, You seem to be ignoring me. I would like to make a feedback thread and show these PMs. If that is o.k?
I really don't want to but I think you've been completely unfair to me. I criticised O'Gara, O'Leary, Earls and Heaslip in that thread. I criticised O'Leary and O'Gara just like many others did in the thread. I criticised Earls when he knocked on with a quick tap! I criticised Heaslip whos a Leinster player. And for you to ban me from a thread by saying I was targetting Munster players is completely OTT.

sure

I also got an infraction for this post

Wow. hold on, im not targetting anyone. All I did was question you blaming Healy instead of Flannery for that try and criticised O'Gara and O'Leary and justifiably so in my opinion.
Warnings serve as a reminder to you of the forum's rules, which you are expected to understand and follow.

All the best,

I know nothing will probably come from this but I want to lodge my complaint.

If you have been banned in an unreasonable manner, something will come of this.

So, can I ask you to PM the CMods to see if you can resolve this amicably?

Co45

Yes sure.
I wasn't banned from the forum just banned from the thread. But its the biggest thread of the year

I have responded to the poster with the view that the ban was legitimate for this line
"What do all of the above players have in common? " as a clear reference to Munster, having addressed this at the start of the post

I WASNT THE ONE WHO POSTED THAT. YOU'RE GETTING ME MIXED UP WITH ANOTHER USER WHO WAS BANNED!!

uberwolf

this is true, and a bit of cross over. It would have helped it the OP had referenced the offending post. I'm looking into this again
