Dental Issues & Competition Law

Hillmanhunter1

I wish to appeal against the closure of my thread in the dental issue forum
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056526627

I have sent a PM to the Mod (Fitzgeme) who said he closed it sighting (sic) charter rule 10, which is "Do not resurrect old threads without a very good reason or important updates."

This is not an old thread, it was started three and a half years ago and I hope it will continue for many more. It is a one-person longitudinal study, that has suffered constant harassment from bullying mods who do not like anyone reporting a positive experience with a foreign dentist.

I believe that the motivation for the closure of the thread is the desire on the part of the dentist moderators eliminate any views that are contrary to their trade interests.

There is a serious problem with the moderation on this forum, and while it might be of benefit to have dentists participating, they can't be allowed to play the game and blow the whistle.

Boards.ie Limited needs to take this matter seriously. Irish competition law prohibits concerted practices that have as their object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition in trade in any goods or services.

If Boards.ie Limited does not take appropriate action I will make a formal complaint to the Competition Authority against Boards.ie Limited and the relevant moderators.

As the DRP rules clearly state, this is for disputing bans and infractions only. PM the mods in question to discuss it, or the cmods if you can't reach and understanding with the mods.
