    Hi I have been banned from GAA for abusing and Trolling on the Waterford GAA page.

    Their is wind up merchant on the Waterford discussion thread looking to get a reaction off the Waterford fans in the build up to our game.


    A mod gave this WUM the "benefit of the doubt" and allowed him remain posting for some time. He was visbily annoying some posters on the page so I called him a "numpty" on a few occasions. He should have been removed from the forum long before this to be honest as all he was looking for was a reaction.

    Pride Fighter the local mod also accused me of trolling becasue I corrected his spelling, but only after Rain ON Me had challenged me over my own grammer after a spelling mistake I had made. I also admit I'm guilty of putting up a harmless image of a bee.

    Waterford has a capital W in it. Tipperary is also a placename thus it must be spelt with a capital letter. As does Galway and Kilkenny.

    You are way off with your punctuation on peoples' names also as John Mullane must be spelt with a capital J+M. Actually maybe spell it JOHN MULLANE to express his awesomness

    Want to bes - oh I think you mean wannabees, kind of the way your a wannabee troll, but your actually a short person with Napoleon syndrome and most probably a crooked eye and one of your shoulders is higher than the other from the weight of the chip you've been bearing for so long.

    nonsense


    What a Numpty - FACT

    HON THE DEISE

    Anyways I've looked around at ROMs other posts and it is obvious he is a WUM, he has trolled on other pages to do with religon etc etc


    I have discussed this with Moderator Pride Fighter, I understand he has a duty to the GAA section. I will contact him to know that I have started a resolution process.


    I don't expect ban to be lifted I just want to express unfairness involved.

    Regards,

    For the benefit of the CMods and Admins I'll give an account of the days events. A new user Rain Over Me, registered today and started this thread http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056344821

    Seeing as he was new to the forum I gave him a warning rather than infraction. I asked him to read the forum charter, which I assume he did. His posts were less severe after.

    He continued to post in a way that was anti-Waterford hurling afterwards, though I felt this was within the bounds of legality, just, thread http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055647422

    Around about pages 370 and 371 of the thread Rain Over Me and the OP are going at it hammer and tongs. I edit some posts, and take no action. In the hope they cool down. ROM continues posting anti-Waterford hurling and the OP snaps, calling him a numpty several times. I constituted that to be persistent personal abuse and issued a 10 day ban.

    I exchanged PM's with the OP, and he seems a decent sort. However, I think the ban should still stand. If ROM is trolling other pages, the mods of those pages should sort him/her out.

    That is my take, for the benefit of the CMods and Admins.
