Why am I banned from the games forum?

TerrorFirmer

Last topic I posted was a topic about a legal program for Symbian phones.

Last post about Halo I think.

Now I can't access forum?

Here's a tip. Threatening to kill the games Catagory moderator and then following it up with patronisation is an easy way to get banned from there. It's permanent. Find some other place to discuss games.

Amp,

I sent you a message saying "Your impending death", with "Watch your back, punk"

Followed by

"You young whippersnappers these days"

Followed by

"Dont disturb the balance of the force young luke....amp"

I think that makes it clearly a joke. Perhaps in bad taste but a joke and you know it. I dont think its banning offense, I mean I thought you'd take the joke being the mod of the cuckoos nest and all....

Mmm, perhaps in bad taste. What did your initial message mean then?

Please keep in mind that the last person I know to definitely post an actual threat (for people to watch out at the next boards beers) was site-banned by me for being an arse and he isn't coming back.

Jeebus - I would say you should keep your head down and hope to avoid a siteban tbh. Death threats - even in jest - arent funny.

Personally if I had made a fúckup of such massive proportions Id be streaming apologies from every orifice.

TerrorFirmer

It was a joke. I think someone saying "Your impending death" is hardly serious when we have no reason Itd be different if I had just been banned but Ive never directly spoken to amp in the last few months. That in itself would suggest it was a bit of a joke....coming from me, a regular user.. I've never threatened anyone from a PM before. I think as well my following messages CLEARLY show that it was a joke.

I know amp doesnt like me but I dont want to be site wide banned for something so silly. I'll accept the ban provided it isnt extended further, that would be even worse taste then my original "joke" I think youll agree.

Also, I'm not an arse and am not a new user either, and please keep in mind it was meant as a joke and again I think my following messages are clearly without any question a joke and reinforce the whole thing as a joke....which I think amp knows but thats an other story entirely....

anyway, sorry...

JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS, I WAS BANNED FOR THE PM, NOT BEFORE THE PM, IN CASE ANYONE THINK I WAS THREATENING HIM AFTER A BAN

What's not new about you?

sounds like a crappy joke and a misunderstanding to me.

I think you should be begging for forgiveness MI

Thats exactly it. I mean it would be different if it was malicious text after Id been banned. But I was banned FOR the PMS which were just bad taste, and it was extremely obvious by the following pms it was a joke....but I told amp i'm sorry, and i did beg for a non sitewide ban, whether he/she cares is up to him, what more can i do

secret_squirrel

I know my opinion counts for nothing but as a mildly interested observer - I havent seen anything in your previous posts that looks anything like an apology to me. But then these poor eyes are getting on a bit....

im not sure what youre point was in sending the PM in the first place, but youre a fúcking spanner for sending a PM with that in it.

that was just stupid.

as far as i can see, out of any context, your PM is harrassment and threatening, and you would be banned straight off sitewide.
and we have seen it happen.
and we have seen people tell us they were joking too.

what makes you special?

Sending a death threat to a CMod isn't gonna win you any friends...

mobile infantry is a n00b, and a kn0b if this is anything to go by.

I don't see anything in your subsequent messages that would make me believe you were joking, merely as amp already pointed out, patronising. Threatening people is beyond low, joking or not. How can anyone know when you're joking or not? They can't and any threats should be deemed as serious, unless you know the person in real life tm.

If I were you though, I would start practicing apologising, and by practice, I don't mean type the first fickle thing that comes into your head, I mean genuinely convincingly, and actually being sorry.

I have seen you post some stupid ****, but thats the stupidest tbh.

TBH I don't think you're in a position to bargain. I'm with the people who say you should be ****ting apologies out of every hole in your body. That was, even if it was a joke, horrendously distasteful and unfathomably stupid.

What were you thinking?

Stompbox

Mobile Infantry, how exactly did you amass 4,581 posts over the course of 8 months? It's just not possible!

Baz_

Have a look at his last few posts when they turn searching back on, then you'll see how, it's amazing how much your post count can go up thanks to mindless drivel.

Gather ye mighty admins, ecksor, regi, Cloud, Vexorg and DeVore.

we the undersigned hereby petition you to use your almighty powers to change MobileInfantry's name to MobileInfancy, albeit only temporarily. For precedent I cite the amp/pam charity name altering. This would surely be a just and fitting punishment.

Memnoch

this behaviour isn't surprising in the least, I knew there was a good reason I had this guy on ignore :P

danniemcq

the threat mobile made sounded pretty harmless to me, what started off that comment?

Makaveli

He shouldn't be making threats in the first place.
Bit of a moron it seems.

You shouldnt of sent that Pm , makes you look like a tool.
Also you should know far better then posting here saying why was i banned , get a help desk ticket !

Aye but Amp did volunteer for it (after much cajoling). His profile shouldn't be changed without his consent.
I've asked in the past and it's been argued that a users profile is sacrosanct

here is when i requested something similar:

http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=291171

not strictly the same but still....

Of course if MI was to step forward and ask for his name to be changed as an act of penance.....

Baz_

I don't know why everyone is going for the benefit of the doubt option...

He is a long way from demonstrating that he's sorry, and indeed just keeps bleeting on about how it was a joke.

Not so funny now, is it?

BuffyBot

Also, I'm not an arse and am not a new user either

Can we get back to you on this?
