    I got a warning from mod JT26 for this quoting of another user for some reason.

    I don't think Iwasfrozen is a bigot or dumb he just likes telling porkies like the RUC.
    [/QUOTE]

    The user davycc was quoting the user Iwasfrozen were he calls him a dumb bigot.

    As you can see I quoted davycc telling him Iwasfrozen was not a bigot or dumb.
    I received the warning for calling users names which you can see I did not. I quoted the user who called someone a name & got a warning. The person who actually called a user a name didn't receive a warning.

    I Pm'ed the mod who gave me the warning explaining this to him all said was I broke the rules & I won't reply to you again.

    So which rules have I broken? Is it okay to call a user a dumb bigot (I'm guessing it is because the person did didn't get a warning) but if you quote someone who calls people dumb bigots that is breaking rules.

    Or did the mod just get confused & gave the wrong person a warning? Or is a warning for political beliefs? Which I'm starting to suspect it is now.

    Hi
    Thanks for forwarding them on to me

    Given you're accusing him of lying and making comparisons to the RUC I am upholding the card. It is just a warning, not a red.

    If you have concerns about other people's posts please do report them, they are not under review here.


    As per the process above you may request an admin review or I will go ahead and request this thread to be marked resolved

    thanks

    I think you know fool well mine was a tongue in cheek comment. I didn't realize comparing someone to a Police force & using the phrase "porkies" warranted a warning & calling someone dumb & bigot didn't.

    I'd happy for this to be closed if someone can explain to me why calling someone a dumb bigot doesn't deserve a warning but saying you think someone might be liar does.
