2 week ban

DickSwiveller

While involved in a passionate argument I referred to two posters as 'morons'. I deleted the offending term straight away, realizing it was over the top but got a private message saying I've been banned from after hours for 2 weeks. I think this is harsh. Once I realized that it was wrong to use the term, I deleted it straight away, and will happily apologize to the two posters.

Have you attempted to resolve this directly with the mod who banned you? That's the first step in the dispute process as set out in the flowchart at the head of this forum and the sticky setting out the dispute process

Re: You have been banned
Hi,

I am leaving the ban in place. You're well aware that insulting other posters is out of line.

Hi,

You've posted in this manner here before. It is standard practice to increase sanctions.

If you would like, you may start a thread in the Dispute Resolution forum.

You have been banned
Dear DickSwiveller,

You have been banned from After Hours for two weeks for personal abuse.

This site is for civil discussion and so we don't allow discussion to descend into name calling and petty abuse.

Please see the Boards.ie FAQ for more details.

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

LEIN

Thank you, I will get back to you this evening.

LEIN

Right, I have reviewed.

The fact that you edited your comment 10 minutes later does not take away from the fact that you broke the rule of no personal abuse which is also a site-wide rule.
If this was the first offence, I would have given you the benefit of the doubt.
Considering you have previous to this, the ban length is just right.

Please tone it down, I understand that we can become very passionate about certain subjects but name calling is just not on.

I hope you understand and take this time to think about same.

Ban stands.
