    Regardless of the contents of the other thread (I havent read it) I suspect it will be you who attracts the unwanted attention of the powers that be.

    You might want to moderate your tone a bit.

    Maybe the insults need to be moderated as I insulted nobody and because a person is a mod gives them no right to do so as for the threats well I made a clear case regards a fraudulent act and get insulted simple as that.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,357 ✭✭✭secret_squirrel


    I believe you were insulted because you were told the same facts by 2 different mods/admins and still persisted in making allegations. Ones that could potentially land Boards.ie in trouble.

    What do you call someone who has to have the same thing explained multiple times.

    Being angry about being ripped off doesnt give you the right to abandon all reason and common sense.

    You are not Thick. You appear to be illiterate and unable to understand the fact that you cannot wildly spout out allegations about innocent people.

    woody is right. I should not call him thick, and I should not take actions based on the fact that I consider him too thick to influence anyone's opinions, and hence incapable of libel. Accordingly I am sitebanning him permanently and deleting the thread in question. My apologies to woody.

    Good luck with that. Though you'd have more luck bedding him if you just bought him a drink, you're not handling the playful jibes method of flirting very well.

    You can't blame him for making the accusations, it seems to be fairly clear what was going on with the poster in question ([name removed] and whatever other aliases he's using).

    Woody's response was understandable, perhaps even restrained - I know if I was one of the (many) people ripped off I'd have been hopping mad too - maybe a bit of leniency should be shown (e.g. delete the post and replace it with one advising people not to deal with the guy until the investigation is completed)?.

    Also, just because it's the "standard response" to site ban someone trying to warn others (albeit going about it the wrong way) it doesn't mean it 's the correct response?

    Talliesin is protecting Boards in his way.

    We'd all hate boards to have to pack up so i see nothing wrong with a mod stepping in to quash accusations.

    If you're frustrated with the ripping off - go eat a big cake but dont jepordise these forums.

    On a seperate note: sometimes posters are thick, assholes etc (some are even ugly!) and whats wrong with pointing it out as the need arises?

    Yes I can. He made accusations against an innocent party. Not just a party against whom there is no proof, but a party for whom there is actually proof of innocence.

    What if you were one of the people ripped off, and then you were also accused of being the culprit. Personally I'd be pretty pissed off.

    There's no need to warn people not to deal with a banned member. Banned members can't PM or post.

    If you are prepared to indemnify Boards.ie Ltd. against all possible losses arising from law-suits, then perhaps we can change our policy. Put up bonds of a few million and we'll see.

    And Woody was protecting Boards users in his way.
    I have no problem with Tallesin's response except the site banning of Woody bit - surely there was a better way of handling this?
    The thread in question is gone now, so I don't know how much discussion there was between the two as to the best way of dealing with the rip-off asshole user.

    6th - your response to being ripped off would have been to "eat a big cake". That would really have helped all the future users who would have been ripped off by this guy. :rolleyes:

    Not really. He was making unfounded allegations against another user, claiming that they were the scammer, despite having nothing to back it up. I believe he was even warned several times to stop and persisted anyway. Far from protecting boards users, he was threating the existence of boards and therefore had to be banned.

    Ok, but was this explained to him? I'm pretty sure he wasn't making up malious accusations?

    From what I saw it seemed that a user was creating multiple a/c's to fool as many people as possible?

    Again, I have no problem with your response to the accusations, except for the sitebanning of Woody bit - I can't see what difference this bit makes unless he was unwilling to agree to stop posting allegations until the investigation was complete...
    Anyway, it's not my fight (or site :) ) to suggest to anyone how to run it, but it just seems harsh. End of rant...

    Accusing an innocent person of a crime is not protecting boards.

    Because of the confession that something happened there is a bit more leeway about this matter as to the actual culprit, but woody persisted in accusing another person, even after the innocence of this person had been pointed out. (He had a source of information, but we have other sources - we don't make public everything we know about users that have been behaving in a negative manner, for the same reasons we don't all others to make such accusations - Making such comments can get boards sued. It can also interfere if there is a Garda investigation and/or a court case.)

    He had a chance to STFU (I don't siteban immediately if such accusations are made). He had a few chances. He was persisting in making comments that could get this site into trouble, and I took away his ability to do so. I even gave him an opportunity to go, "yes, I'm thick, I say stupid things" instead but he chose not to take it.

    Anyone trying to "protect" boards in a similar manner will be similarly banned.
