    I was banned by dubhthach from history and heritage for ten days without so much as one warning for Inflammatory comments. It was only one comment which was fairly generalised about how Britain behaved in Ireland. It was by no any worse than some the derogatory almost racist comments made about the Irish language. Saying that it a was hindrance and so on. The thread was very emotive to say the least. A warning would have sufficed here. I am new these boards and not up to speed on how things or done. You think at least there be some sort of warning system in place. Or some sort of process. A ten day ban is completely OTT. Totalitarian even. Is there no room for tolerance for the indigenous point on view on this Irish forum?!? I have already PM’d the mod last night without success.

    That is the correct first step. Let us know how it goes.

    Young ned of the hill, did you read the charter before posting?
    History & Heritage Charter wrote:
    Obviously overly racist or inflammatory comments will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Furthermore, any semi-racist (race in this sense includes nationality) will result in a permanent ban.

    In addition, statements which are clearly intended as sectarian/religion bashing and add nothing to a thread will be deleted and the poster infracted and/or banned.

    You first comment set the tone, the second was just an inflammatory rant.

    History & Heritage has been under fire recently for the dropping level of contributions, so I am completely behind the mods here who want to cut out this type of posting. Proper historical discussion cannot happen without some boundaries being laid down.

    If you wish to appeal this further, reply here and an admin will look at your case.

    No need to, the ban stands.
    Young ned of the hill, as already mentioned, it is advisable to read the Charter of a forum before posting. It will save a lot of problems further down the line.
