Forum Ban

GreeBo

Hi,

I have been banned from the Golf forum by slave1 for this post
https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=116210126#post116210126

I have tried contacting them twice for details (since I only received the generic ban msg) but have yet to receive a reply despite them being online and actively posting since my PMs.

I'm questioning the severity of the action and why I have (yet again) been singled out for special behaviour on this forum. I don't believe there has been a forum ban given out for replying to a moderator in the lifetime of the forum?

In any case, assuming that I was banned for arguing with a moderator on thread (as above, I have yet to be given any indication as to why I was banned) I dispute this. I replied to their edit of my own post clarifying the point of my post.

I'll make the CMods aware GreeBo. In the meantime, give the moderator a chance to reply.

GreeBo

Cheers, thanks mike_ie!

The mod has advised me you have not PM'd them Greebo.

Could you please re-send any messages you believe you have sent

Thanks

GreeBo

I have resent the first message that I believe I sent yesterday.

Beasty

Thanks - I'll make sure he has it. Could you give him a bit of time to respond

GreeBo

Sure

GreeBo

Mod has responded and after 1 reply they are unwilling to engage further so I am requesting a CMod to review please.

This PM'ing has the capacity to roll on which I would prefer to avoid.

Can you paste the entire PM conversation here please?

Hi GreeBo,

The mod forwarded the PMs onto me.

Firstly, it's in the golf charter that questioning mod actions on thread is a 1 week ban. Secondly, the post below:

Having now read the PMs, I think you've unfairly misrepresented the replies from the mod by taking this one sentence out of context of the rest of their reply. slave1 has given you at least 2 substantial replies to your queries.

I am going to uphold this one. You can appeal to admin if you want to take this further.

Cheers,

If your opinion is that a 1 week ban is a suitable and proportional response then yes I would like an admin to review please. I would be eager to see any evidence to backup that this reaction is normal, typical and indeed warranted?

Having been the person that created that charter and specifically that section I can categorically tell you that this is not the case.

I respectfully disagree, I was effectively allowed to send him 1 PM before I was told that he didn't want to get into an exchange.
If the first step of the DRP is to attempt resolution via talking to the mod, I do not see how this is possible within 1 exchange? Would you have taken that response as an invitation to continue further dialogue?

I am going to uphold this one. You can appeal to admin if you want to take this further.

As above yes I would like an admin review please.

Can an admin please review this one?

As you were around when most of that charter was written there is little doubt you know of that rule. We have discussed previously your trolling of the current mods and your post here is yet another example of it

1 week ban upheld, but one further word here., Any more trolling of the Golf mods and I will ban you permanently from the forum
