    Banned for what reason from After Hours?

    Is it because I called travellers tinkers?

    Travellers describe themselves by the term tinkers.

    It's the word "knacker" that causes offense.

    Thanks for that.

    I'm going to be honest, the tinker part was fine.
    You made it offensive by adding the "big fat hairy" part.

    My suggestion is that you focus on that part and go back to the banning mod and try to resolve further.

    I did.

    No reply yet.

    Basically,I backed up my post by stating.....

    1. They are big

    2. They are fat.

    3. They are hairy.

    4. They are tinkers.

    All factually correct.



    I don't see the problem.

    Why did you not share all of the PM?
    It's still offensive.

    The offensive part is what you need to focus on.
    Accept that, go to the banning mod stating same and see I how it plays out.

    It was recommended to me to approach you again.

    It's been agreed that the term "tinker" was not offensive.

    Where does the issue lie regarding the ban?

    Which part of the post was offensive?

    Okay, I have given you many opportunities to see how you were being offensive and you have not taken them.

    Ban upheld.

    What exactly did you want me to do?

    I messaged the Mod last night. He didn't reply.

    I'll break it down for you.

    Tinker was fine, no problem there.

    However...... When you decided to add "big fat hairy" to tinker, you made it offensive.

    That is what I asked you to focus on and you did not.
    The banning Mod shared the PMs with me.
    You decided to focus on tinker only.

    You have two options.

    Accept and move on.
    Or I will request an Admin to review.

    Heavy handed considering it's my first ever dispute resolution.
    I'm not accustomed to the inner workings of your protocol.


    Anyway,please explain to me what you mean by "focus on".

    I have given you many chances here, I can't keep pointing out what caused offence, if you haven't seen it by now and understand what to do, I am out.

    Refer it to Admin then.


    You're being obtuse and vague.
    Thanks for all the help.

    Ah, come on. If anyone’s being obtuse here, it’s you.

    I’ve reviewed this and you’ve made no meaningful attempt to engage with the mod in relation to the ban, and I have a hard time believing you genuinely can’t see what you did wrong.

    Ban upheld.
