Banned

Southdubin6

I was banned from the MMA forum. I posted a picture in a thread not Vulgar, Not arguemenative, I wasn’t engaged in any discussion or debate with anyone.

Can you please point out why I was banned?

The best person to talk to is the mod who banned you.

The first step in the dispute process is to discuss your ban with the mod. Have you attempted to contact the mod, and if so, what was the outcome?

dudara

Absolutely, fire them a PM. Try to explain your perspective best you can.

Dear Southdubin6,

You have been banned from Mixed Martial Arts [MMA] for three days 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.

Your post:Quote: Southdubin6
Thought this a relevant picture.


Not once did a mod direct me or instruct me.

Steve

Please tell me, did you actually post an image in that post? can you pm me what it was? there is conflicting information on what was posted. It will go in your favor if you can help clear this up.

Yes there was a picture posted. What you mean go in my favour. I done **** all wrong. Moderator jumped in and banned me without a warning now I expect it dealt with.

I mean that there appears to be some bug on boards that means I can't see the image you originally posted. Therefore I can't give this DRP a fair investigation.

On those grounds I have no choice but to remove the ban.

Would you like me to post the picture here?

Steve

Just to note, it is usually the plaintiff that appeals to admin for another look, in this case it's me. If admin can see what was posted, please feel free to reinstate the mod action.

The moderators need to look at how they act.

Actually, there was no fault in the mod action here, you are getting off on a technical issue. I'd say nothing more if I were you .

So no warnings just a straight ban? Is that how your mods work?

Sometimes, yes it depends what was posted.

As I said for some reason what you posted is not visible to me so I can't make a call on it.

I gave you a free pass this time.

If you want to continue being a 'dick' (read boards.ie site terms) about it I can just as easily reinstate the ban

Don’t act the big dog with me this is an anonymous forum. You can reinstate the ban then I’ll pass the pictures to a few people and allow them post in other sections may be more acceptable there.

Steve

You must do what you feel is right.

I'm out.

Request admins look at this.

dudara

I’ll look into this.

@Southdubin6 - can you PM me the pic in question? Unfortunately I can no longer see it in your original post. Thanks

dudara

Thanks to everyone who has cooperated with my questions.

Unfortunately I have no choice but to uphold the ban on several grounds. Due to the nature of the post in question I will not be sharing any further details.
