Totally ridiculous ban

AARRRGH · 2005-11-05 03:27:12

I never take the piss in the Personal Issues forum (or in general on the site.) There was a topic regarding a guy who likes to wear womens underwear. I commented that I tried this once and it was painfull (they ain't made for men.) He said he just wears big underwear (or something like that.) My response was...and it was…

Isn't that what many charters advise you to do....PM the Mod and if you think it's still unfair, bring it up on feedback. Here's one from the Rec Category

Arguing with a moderator
- Do not argue with a moderator in a thread after they have given a warning or a ban etc. If you have an issue with a moderator's action then PM the mod in question. They will discuss it with you. You can then, if unsatisfied with the PM route, take things to Feedback.

Giving cheek or attitude to a moderator will get you banned.

Do not under any circumstances complain about a mod on this forum. Do it either on PM or in Feedback.

I posted up here because he ignored my PM.

Why are you being aggressive?

Probably because you're whinging!! Why are you even arguing this? I reckon it's fair enough you got banned from PI, you made two stupid comments, neither were remotely relevant or helpfull, and even if you don't agree, why bother making a big issue of it?? Take it like a man damnit!!

being one

I have absolutley no doubt that is the one. Victor warned just before that post about no more troll comments. Your post shortly after, intended or unintended, suggested again that the OP was a troll. I interpret it in that way and I presume Victor did aswell.

IMO the ban is justified but I'm sure you'll be back soon since you are generally an excellent contributor to that forum.

A ban is pretty serious considering I was not being completely unhelpful. Calling my comments stupid is a bit harsh. Calling them not remotely relevant is totally inaccurate. Saying I'm whinging is wrong - I'm just following the rules (PM the mod and if ignored post in the feedback forum.)

I just want people to be reasonable...

If you can't understand that your last two posts were unhelpful and irrelevant then it would make me think that you would be likely to post similar off-topic and unhelpful posts in the future.

I only just read the thread in question, and my first instinct would have been to start slapping your wrist for the comment regarding Victor's sig, then after seeing the second comment about "fat chicks", I might have considered a temp ban, as you were demonstrating a continued willingness to banter, on a forum that we try to keep serious.

Just grin and bear it. Sorry.

It didn't seem unreasonable to me. You were posting unhelpful comments and engaging in bantering with other members on a thread there. Thus a temp ban.

It's hardly a big deal mate. Sure, haven't we all been banned from PI at some point?

OK. I see the error of my ways now.

I'm sorry I was unconstructive.

PI is the only thing I like about boards.ie

Please let me back in soon. I will stay on topic. Thanks.

I presume that you got banned for the standard week, in which case, PM one of us mods when the week is up, and all will be well.
