Ridiculous

Lorax

Why am I banned from the Gigs/Events board? No explanation nothing? I didn't post ANYTHING about an mcd gig, or an mcd venue, or anything mcd.. Franz Ferdinand secret gig is NOTHING to do with mcd. :mad:

First thing, have you contacted any of the moderators? f®eak s©enery, KevIRL, Mr Rivers or Kali are active I think.

edit: don't mention "them" in your post.

Lorax

How am I supposed to find out who banned me or who mods that forum if I'm banned from it?

I just posted their names above, one of them will be able to tell you (or will probably here soon enough).

Keep a note of who's mod of what, change from http://www.boards.ie to http://anything.boards.ie and read, or log-out. Now, you have the list of usernames as Ruu posted them. However, if you log-out you may find a reason why you were banned, if the thread wasn't deleted.

A ban from a forum simply prevents you from posting in that forum, if you log out, you can still read any forum.

Banning people for mentioning *** is the height of lameness.

Delete, lock, edit threads; do what you must in that regard. Once you start banning people for it then it is beyond ridiculous.

Yeah depending on the masses to take the time out to read one of those warning threads that are posted on every forum instead of heading directly to their thread about britney spears or those cool cat rebels in hanson was our first mistake.

CuLT

If you're saying that depending on the masses for anything isn't a mistake then, um...

Never mind.

Looks like I forgot to get in on the ground floor of that *** thread in the mod forum.

Yes, I did bloody read the sticky about mcd. Thats why this is pissing me off, the secret franz ferdinand gig has ---->NOTHING TO DO WITH MCD<---- how can I make it any clearer? Why isnt everyone else on that thread getting banned?

Slightly OT I know, but can someone unban me so I can post in AH if I needed to...I think Nesf is off on hols somewhere. It was only for a week but that was back on the 12th july,I was away for a while after that to be fair to him. I'm a reformed citizen now....:)

You should have access now.

Lorax: Have you pm'ed one of the moderators of the Gigs/Events yet?

I don't think he will be referring to it as holidays somehow, hehe.

No cos I dunno which 1 banned me, why dont they just post here

They may not be checking here as regularly.
Log out - READ THE POST - and you'd know which one banned you. You'd also know which other mod's are contactable. If you're not willing to PM them, be patient and await a PM. Freak Scenery (With fanshy pansh char's) was involved with that post - so I would assume he banned you.

Lorax

yeah was probably him, its not even that I want a reason I want to complain about his decision so Feedback is a good place for it. The mcd paranoia is getting out of hand, this gig has ----> ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH MCD <---- The mod in question made a mistake.

John

Just PM them all and ask them what's up.

Karoma

Relax there Lorax20. This could probably have been resolved by now had you sent a PM explaining the mistake and discussing it, or using the Help Desk facilities provided.

Matthewthebig

afai can gather you started a thread about the gig when you had posted in the other one.

Could be the reason as they are still discussing it so it being in relation to a certain promoter is a moot point.

Pocari Sweat

Ahhh! MCD!, I thought they were going on about McDonalds.

Asok

It was nothing to do with the franz ferdinand gig I'm thinking. From the posts I see deleted in that forum it was discussion of a gig in one of their venues.

As for who banned you well you would be best to pm the mods of that forum to ask.

Lorax

Im not even really bothered any more because that board is rubbish lately but I would like the mod in question to admit his mistake.

John

Them's fightin' words.

Tar.Aldarion

Let slip the hounds of war.

Pocari Sweat

Try the Mustard forum instead. There are wide ranging active discussions on all sorts of mustards, I like Colemans spread thick on me ham butties best.

Pocari Sweat

Shouldn't that be The Hounds of Love? Feckin love that Kate Bush.

Lorax

Why are you posting here even Pocari Sweat you are not a moderator and have nothing to contribute to this issue, go away and stop trolling on about mustard.

It's Feedback - it's not restricted to mod's and higher. Why are you posting here? It's not the Help Desk. You have no interest in a resolution, only a bitching session.

Lorax

ok could a moderator move this to helpdesk please, Ive been on boards a long time and that must be a new forum the way it used to work you have a problem you post on feedback.

honru

Hi Lorax,

You are correct, this has nothing to do with MCD. I banned you because you asked if anyone had any spare Franz Ferdinand tickets. Under the forum charter all ticket enquiries must go under Adverts, to prevent unmonitored selling and touting.

Your ban is for one week btw.

Pocari Sweat

Colemans mustard on cooked cold sausages. Ahhh.

Pocari Sweat

Is the that Arch Duke that got shot or them Scottish tossers, that can't sing?

A request to deal off-thread?
Dearie me, do they never learn?

Vexorg

As this issue appears to be resolved, thread closed, if not loarax feel free to pm me and I will look at reopening..

Talliesin

When I see a post suggesting PM threading I always consider sitebanning until the gig in question is over.
