Red Carded in a Thread in After Hours

    Hi

    I was taking part in a discussion, where I made several arguments which were all valid.

    I was not giving any prior warning before being banned from posting.

    I believe I had a right to argue my point. I was not abusive to any other user.

    The Mod seemingly arbitrarily picked me out for a red carding. I do not see this as at all fair.

    And I wish to appeal the decision.

    Have you tried to resolve this by sending a PM to the mod who carded you, per step one in the flow chart above?

    Yes, they refused to engage in a dialogue and directed me here with a copied link

    Red card notifications automatically include a link to this forum. Have you been in discussion with the mod following the red card notification?

    Yes, I am aware of the link sent in the initial infraction notice - it is not the what I was referring to.

    After I tried to communicate and query the ruling, the the mod in question refused to engage and just sent me another link here.

    I hope this clarifies matters.

    Thank you, I'll ask a Cmod to have a look into this for you.

    Dear JackTaylorFan,

    You have been infracted 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 infraction you can see details on how to do so [URL="http:////www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=1397"]here[/URL].

    Moderator Note

    Telling you not to post here again wasn't a request, it was a directive! DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD AGAIN!

    Thanking you in advance,

    Sorry, but this thread has very much become of interest to me. See above comments.

    Regards


    Sorry, but I think I'm vindicated in my wish to continue defending myself on a thread that I have made valid arguments in.

    I wish to appeal.

    To speed things up, I won't be overturning the infraction.

    Hi Jack, as far as I can see, the Mod asked you to stop posting in that thread and you went ahead and posted anyway.
    Regardless of what you needed to do or say afterwards is irrelevant as you will be ignoring a Mod action which is a slam dunk infraction.

    What should you have done is PM the Mod to try to resolve.
    Did you understand the request from the Mod?

    I wasn't sure what the Mod meant, to be honest - the language used, in-thread, was more than a little ambiguous

    In that case I would suggest that you engage with the Mod once again and explain this to them.

    Has this been resolved with the Mod?

    No. given the initial tone the Mod took with me in PMs, I resolved that any effort on my part to reengage would prove fruitless. Seeing as the thread in question is no longer a talking point, it's best I just let it go.

    Thanks for your help.
