Disputing 2 warnings

Comments

    May I ask for advice ? I can’t see where else to ask.

    Two warnings in the same day, from what I can see the same moderator. Both I disputed - one has no basis (this was ignored) and one I was asked to explain myself (perhaps I allowed myself to reply to someone absolutely trolling - and happy to say sorry, although they were more in the wrong in my opinion).

    Anyway, I now can’t post often and I’ve bars on my avatar! I was told to go to “dispute resolution” to discuss but I can’t start a post!

    Where should I go next please ?

    Thank you kindly to whoever moved this here - much appreciated.

    The first warning was for noting that a migrant being interviewed on the Virgin Media programme about immigration has been WIDELY acknowledged on social media and by many commentators as being a wanted Turkish fugitive. He was even wearing a scarf representing the banned PKK movement. This was called a “baseless allegation” which is far from true as a simple Google search would show.

    My request to have this looked at was ignored by the moderator who added the warning.

    The second, from the same moderator was for calling a post “nonsense to be ignored”. Perhaps not my finest hour and I’m willing to apologise but the poster themselves was trying yo derail discussion of a serious matter and wasn’t debating in good faith.

    I did receive a curt reply to this one to the effect of “explain it then” where I showed I was happy to apologise but again, no reply.

    I’m now getting the above on my account too.

    I think at the very least the first warning is very unfair and I would hate any kind of ban to be based on this. I would like this to be looked at please.

    Thank you for your time on this and thank you the posters who advised on the process.
