US Politics Ban

Colonialboy

I got a two day ban, ever since that Ban everything I have psoted has been a fact or opinion and not being trolling anyone .

I believe the mod just doesnt like my political views and was itching to put in a full ban.

According to the mod they put in a post that I wasnt meant to post in the thread anymore. How the heck was I meant to see that post. You cant rely on issuing a post to get a message direct to a person.

In a private message the mods comment was that cos I thanked some posts, I must have seen their post about 'me not being allowed to post again'

My latest post was a video of Donald Trump from a major news source.

This moderator is just shouting done anyone who has good things to say about Donald Trump or who isnt following the democrat Clinton train.

I repeat their is no evidence of me trolling after I recieved that 2 day ban.. no evidence, no reason to ban.

US politics thread, more like 'The thread to get Hilary elected'
boards is better than this.

Hi Colonialboy, I will be looking into this for you. Please can you forward me the PM exchange between yourself and the mod who banned you.

Thanks.

Colonialboy

Appreciate a 3rd party taking a look.

Its messy pulling all the PMs into the one..

In the early days I got some stick from ancapailldorch, k-9, and johnnyskeleton, for remarking that the level of discussion was very poor. Ironically k-9 put up a mod post yesterday saying the exact same thing level of discusson was poor and needed to be upped.

I got irate as alot of posters were putting up Trump sensationalist comments, just soundbites, I was questioning where all the discussion of REAL issues were, and I raised quite a few.

Im know the poster who used the term NAZI in a post to me didnt get an infraction.
I did get one when I responded ... seemed double standards.

Are ancapailldorch and k-9 the same person. ???

The main PMs are below .. Im okay to ride out the ban if its just temporary.

Dear Colonialboy,

You have been banned from International Politics for one week for ignoring a moderator's instructions.

Discussion can become heated, we don't object to that, but when a moderator issues a warning on a thread to reign things in, it stops a heated discussion from turning into a mess.

For more information please refer to the Boards.ie FAQ.

If you wish to appeal this ban you can see details on how to do so here.

Donald Trump Mocks Angela Merkel Imigration Policy ... Oct 16

very erudite very prophetic very comprehensive very reasonable overview in 1 min 30 and even provides some solutions
some takeaways
Why are they all men,
where are the women,
why arent these men fighting for their country
Trump would help them economical, wealthy nations establish a safe zone and work from there
Merkels policys is insane

Obama.. cant even say the words Islamic terrorism

looks like Donald got this right, bang on the head and who says he doesnt have ideas. they guy is practical.
America needs a builder of solutions, they dont need another architect of ideas

Looking at NBC's take. "But the protesters interrupted Trump throughout his remarks, prompting him to joke that staff should "confiscate the coats" before sending the them into the frigid Vermont night".

Difference between a joke and instructions to security.

Here's a video with the coat related "incident".

I watched a show last night about the Heroin explosion in Cape Cod , very sad lots of young lives ruined and families ruined.

bugger looks like I missed the really important news item that a law enforcement officer escorted a heckler out of a Trump rally and he forgot his coat.

seriously folks..
Politics > Politics (General) > International Politics > US 2016 Presendential Race..... and the best ye can come up with is a ****ING COAT !!!

What the **** is going on in the education system !!!! :mad:

Glad you got that sorted out. Let me know if I can help with anything else.

I knew youd come to agree with me, that Trumps detractors live off main stream media soundbites and dont discuss policy , maybe theres hope for this forum yet.

Mod:
If you want people to discuss what Trump has said or his policies why don't you put up some content and let people debate.

That would be more constructive than posting about people still playing with their Xmas presents!

Is this content enough for you, I posted this days ago, an open door for anyone to discuss substantive geo-political social issues facing the US, ...btw what did you get for xmas ?

not to worry I will let ye continue with the discussion of the market crash currently imploding on US equities following on from years of democratic market subsidy and how that might affect the US presidential debate.

or alternatively just wait for the next Trump soundbite to roll into the station and ye can get back to the real serious issues.... anyone got an emoticon smiley for ostrich head in the sand.

I leave ye with 2 predictions
Trump will walk the Republican nomination
Theres a Democrat mod itching to pull the BAN trigger ...

Thanks for that, here's my understanding of it.

In the early days I got some stick from ancapailldorch, k-9, and johnnyskeleton, for remarking that the level of discussion was very poor. Ironically k-9 put up a mod post yesterday saying the exact same thing level of discusson was poor and needed to be upped.

TBH, that sounds like it's straying into the territory of back-seat modding. The best thing to do is this case would have been to report the posts that you felt were below standard, and let the mods look into it. Or you could also PM the mods, to discuss it.

Im know the poster who used the term NAZI in a post to me didnt get an infraction.
I did get one when I responded ... seemed double standards.

That poster used the term Grammar Nazi, it doesn't refer to literal nazis, it's an internet term for people who are pernickety about correcting the grammar of other posters.

Are ancapailldorch and k-9 the same person. ???

No, they're two different people

I'm okay to ride out the ban if its just temporary.

On to the ban, yes it is temporary, it's one week. However, looking at your record I can see that since the start of the new year, you've had one warning, one infraction, and a 2 day ban from politics. My advice would be to take a step back and look at your posting style in the forum because with that many mod actions in such a short space of time, you're running the risk that the next one will be a prolonged forum ban, or even a category ban.

Ban upheld.

Colonialboy

I hear you, and thats a very fair assesment, sorry to have wasted your time.

Will ride out the ban, cant wait to get back on though, the US election is hotting up Hilary rolls Chelsea out and Trump is ramping up.. its going to be a doozie..

Toots

No problem, just keep in mind what I've said, and we'll see you back in the thread in a week

I'll flag this as resolved.
