    This has to be the silliest and mist unnecessary ban ever, badly handled and smacks of over indulgence

    I have been banned for one day for the grievous crime of commenting on a pic in the soccer humour thread
    The pic showed text saying man u got beat 5-1 and all I did was say "err was it not 5-3?"

    Now come on, that is the maddest thing Ive ever heard.
    Not swearing, not attacking , not trolling, I just cant think of any possible reasonable explanation of why I was banned

    Did you contact the mod who banned you?

    The rules seem pretty clear -

    From here on in there is a NO chat rule and it will be enforced with a 24 hour ban, repeat offenders will be given a longer ban. You will not be carded and the ban will not effect the current cards = bans mechanism in the Soccer Forum, take it as a slap on the wrist.

    You comment was chat. The rule was introduced to stop posters "commenting" on other posts in the thread. You post was in direct contravention of the rule - all you had to do was keep you comment to yourself

    Ban upheld

    You may ask an Admin to review this decision if you wish
