    Did you msg one of the forum's mods?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 27,315 CMod ✭✭✭✭spurious


    I think it was how you did it rather than what you did.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,910 ✭✭✭✭RoundyMooney


    You weren't banned for reporting the post, you were banned for being uberpedantic and off topic on thread after being instructed not to, in actuality to "Leave the moderating to the mods of the forum" or something to that effect.

    Beruthiel is the mod who banned you.

    edit:
    see as a mod you can take action...i know you wont because i highlighted it

    What kind of smartarsed behaviour is that?

    And:
    Did you PM the moderator? (You've been banned enough times before - I"m sure you know how to check.)
    Could you link the the thread in question?
    Where are the cats?

    I sent you a PM 10 seconds after banning you, which according to Boards tracking messages, you read, so you know exactly why you were banned and it had nothing to do with the title of this thread and everything to do with your pedantic, off topic, smartassed behaviour.

    /edit
    the thread in question

    tbh the ban was earned, I dont know why you're on here bitching about it after condescending way you spoke to the mods.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    The moderators are drunk on power, this is a disgrace. I'm personally both shocked and appalled. The corruption of the moderators (those mystical winged, half man, half bull creators that they are) never fails to amaze and astonish my cold, dead, heart.

    Internet hard men/women... they would be dangerous if the had lives in the real world...
    although, i take that back. i bet they are the idiots who everybody used to poke fun at in school, getting their own back...... wow, what a revenge, i bet it was worth waiting for mods.

    aw ****, i suppose this comes with age.... but i feel sorry for them now, never used to in school, ah well

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,910 ✭✭✭✭RoundyMooney


    You're one to talk about english grammar alright, given that you mutilate it horribly every time you click submit:rolleyes:

    Even leaving that aside, your argument makes no sense whatsoever.

    We've gone from a thread about your supposed ban for posting a report, to your crusade about the vagaries of english dialogue, skirting around your obvious off-topic posting and your blatant breach of the PI charter (which isn't there to please the mods, despite what you might think).

    Truth be told, you're just arguing for the sake of it, and have lost your train of thought...

    Yes, that must be it! There is obviously no other explanation.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,910 ✭✭✭✭RoundyMooney


    Like you and your moaning on PI, and now here, oh, and your multiple bans that you don't care about, but yet muster up the apathy to start threads about.

    Ireland is still rearing them, folks.

    Says the guy who does more whining and bitching about mods than most people. Honestly, are you jealous or do you just like fighting authority figures? What is it?

    Why are you still here anyway, all you do is moan and bitch? Find another forum that allows you to stray off-topic as often as you want. No-one is forcing you to post here.

    You were wrong and correctly banned. There, a valid comment. And I'm not even a mod. I'm just a user. An incredibly good looking user, but a mere user all the same. What exactly are you fighting against?

    Did you know that the semen of the fruitfly, when extended and fully rolled back, is longer than 3.5cm? I only use this interesting fact here because even that semen would have been smarter than to start this thread.

    Do you mean "surely"? The word "surly" has a completely different meaning, have a look in the mirror, that's surly :D

    Oh crap, I'm taking this off-topic, maybe I'll be banned!!

    I haven't contributed to this thread and wasn't going to until I saw this. The OP (whose ASCII picture of a name I can't be arsed copying & pasting) is hardly a first offender. You've only to look through the Cork forum's occasional thread about PROC (People's Republic Of Cork) to see him getting his "Fight Teh Powa!" on about how this place is gone to sh*t, the mods are drunk with power, and wah wah wah wah wah. And yet, he's still here.

    Either a troll, a twit, or a Thunderdome fan. Either way, safe to ignore.

    You see, there's only so much whining ****e you can take from one person before eventually responding with a velvet-fisted STFU! I do try to ignore prattish behaviour but this guy had a go at me on boards.org.uk for locking a thread after I asked him and another poster not to go off topic and start a new thread to discuss that particular topic instead. He continued to take it off-topic...so as has already been said it's not the first time. I get frustrated by people who can't learn lessons.

    In this case, it looks like the OP decided to continue posting off topic and then put in a "let's continue by PM" to try and gain some immunity from a ban while still taking it of topic. He could easily have made his PI post by PM instead of posting it and no-one would be the wiser...

    You know what, I for one, have no interest whatsoever in unbanning you. It's not the first time you've been banned and you have nothing to add in PI that any of us will miss.
    If you have a problem with that decision, take it up with an Admin.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,395 ✭✭✭Marksie


    ah jazzzzzzzzzzus ladies.....

    You were banned for continued off topic posting.
    Your intent in that thread and in this leads me to the conclusion that you were deliberately seeking some sort of confrontation at some point down the line.
    This is only reinforced by the speed with which you created this feedback thread.
    oh do run along,

    ye are all like moaning, whining bitches....
    get a ****ing real life

    That type of immature, ignorant post leads me to reinforce Beruthiel's comments as regards your continued contribution to PI, unless of course it is regard to discussing your Issues.

    Until now, i was not aware of you having any previous "Form". However, as posters point out you have a continued presence and ability to create such matters out of nothing.

    In the real world you would be classed as a "rent-a-protestor". In the absence of something to rail against you are quite happy to create something yourself.

    IN that context: get a life
