    That type of comment won't help your cause anyway.

    Have you PM'd any of the Soccer mods?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    I meant it as a joke.

    Also, if I did something that merited a banning, then I accept it, but I can't think of anything I did.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    PM one of the soccer mods. (Thanx 4 The Fish, KdjaCL, or psi)

    edit: Ah I see you are on the banlist there, not sure why though.

    I think that banning may be slightly harsh, it was just a response to people undermining Rangers win.


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


    So equating celtic to DA 'RA is a bannable offense over on soccer? Where does it say that in the charter. Bunch of power hungry soccer-Nazis (oh yes i went there) oppressing the working man. Stalin would be turning in his grave.

    I'm not sure but using the word scum is. Esteban jumped on the anti-Celtic bandwagon for absolutely no reason. From what I've seen, the Celtic and Rangers fans in the soccer forum get on really well together and that kind of crap isn't called for. Just my 2 cents.

    An Citeog, you really need to learn how to read Bostons posts properly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 46,553 ✭✭✭✭muffler


    I was just going to start a thread earlier today - titled "Why have I not been banned" as it has been so quiet here for the last few days. Now we have the usual nonsense of someone claiming that he cant access the soccer forum and he suffers from selective amnesia.

    This thread has now wrecked my idea ;)

    Dont you just love those morning when you wake up and vaguely remember, there was a pub last night I remember that much and there was that girl and what happened then? Oh yeah, the club and then back to my place, and we got bizzah and there was something about her, and I remember we were arguing and then he left and I...










    :eek:

    estebancambibas claims that he does not drink.

    I know this because before he was permanently banned from AH, I asked him if he was drunk when he started the offending thread. I was willing to just lock the thread and be done with it if he had been drinking.*






    *Not setting a precedence here. It was a one off and it seemed to me that he was under the influence at the time.

    My opinion is that he is a troll of the highest order and is quite close to a site ban.
    If I was an Smod, he would be long gone.


    DeVore, that happened me this morning. :D

    Based on what I've seen of his posts I doubt that he is old enough to drink, legally anyway.

    If he keeps it up, I'm not seeing him last much longer around here.
    He's a troll, a 17 year old troll so I've allowed him a certain amount of leeway based on his tender years and perhaps in the vain hope that he might cop on.. I'm being naive, aren't I?

    He was banned from AH for trolling.
    In good faith and because he asked nicely, I lifted the ban half an hour early. (It was 11.30pm)
    He was permanently banned less than an hour later.
    nesf did the dirty deed, but only because myself and Giblet were drunk at the time and Karoma was elsewhere. The four of us agreed on the permanent ban.

    I wouldn't say you are being naive, just extremely patient.


    Upon reflection, perhaps a one year ban?


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


    How about you lift the ban when you're convinced his character has changed. That seems fair.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,399 ✭✭✭✭r3nu4l


    I think DeV should take an active modding role in the new Comedy/Stand-up forum :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    I'm 18.

    If I was a troll, would I not create a new account to get into AH?

    The simple fact is on both the wrestling/football/fitness boards I have not 'trolled' at all.

    Might I suggest that you extend that attitude to the rest of this site before I do as others suggest and site ban you.

    "Both" suggests 2 but you've named 3 forums ... just thought I'd mention that >_>

    do you have to be drunk to mod on AH, or is it just that AH drives you to it?

    Gee... That's real big of you.

    But what of the other fora that you've been banned from? Do you still consider that your posts there were acceptable?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    My ban from AH was crazy, and uncalled for. My Special Olympics thread, was to get peoples opinions, I never knew people were so withdrawn and politically correct in their views

    I accept my LC banning, as the OP did not deserve the attack.

    The soccer thread banning was also as they say OTT to be quite honest.

    People got upset with my Tim McVeigh topics, yet there is a thread at the moment about some women killing a mother and taking her baby. I find that quite a sensetive subject.

    *Just to note, I have accepted the ban from AH*

    How the hell has that Pighead guy never been banned?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,818 ✭✭✭✭The Hill Billy


    6th's point is (& correct me if I'm wrong 6th) - You've only been here since January '07 yet you have managed to cop yourself quite a few bans in that time, including 1 permaban from AH. And an AH permaban takes beating considering the amount of muppetry that goes on there. That's quite an achievement (for want of a better word) when most posters never get a ban at all. (I've only one under my belt & intend on keeping it that way.)

    The upshot is that you are quite obviously not learning from your mistakes.

    So, answer me this - Why should the mods continue to put up with someone who is only going to cause them trouble? Why should other posters have to continue to read troll-y posts?

    Pighead doesn't really exist. He's a composite account used by the S-Mods to post anonymously.

    I can't speak for the others, but I was already a drunk before I started modding AH.

    What do people think of this event? I really want to abstain from my real views on it, to avoid a banning.

    I think on one side it's great, for the genuinely talented people who have had defects of some sort, but I have a problem with the brain dead retards(in it's true sense of the word) being praised for just competing.

    I think this is an extremely AH thread.

    No offence was meant by this thread..
    You wanted to abstain from your real views, but you thought the emboldened part was alright?
    The soccer thread banning was also as they say OTT to be quite honest.
    That was definite trolling.
    People got upset with my Tim McVeigh topics, yet there is a thread at the moment about some women killing a mother and taking her baby. I find that quite a sensetive subject.
    Your constant references to Timothy McVeigh did not belong in AH. They belonged in the conspiracy theories forum.
    You were told this, but continued to rant about him anyway.
    The thread about the woman who killed a mother and stole her baby does not contain any conspiracies about covering up the truth.
    *Just to note, I have accepted the ban from AH*
    That's nice of you.

    The simple fact is on both the wrestling/football/fitness boards I have not 'trolled' at all.
    You have a keen interest in the subjects you mentioned.
    AH is a catch all forum, so it seems to me that you thought you could come in there and rant away, get banned and still have access to the forums that interest you.

    *sigh*.

    You claimed to have read the soccer charter and agreed to abide by the rules there in (I can pull up the post where you specifically agreed to this if you really, really want). In return for this, I gave you access to the soccer forum.

    You then violated the charter, thus reneging on your agreement and in return your soccer access was removed.

    In some cases, I have sympathy with people when they get banned for what they think is an acceptable comment.

    In this case you used a term that was specifically stated in the charter as being an abusive term. Seeing as you did read the charter (right?) you only have yourself to blame and coming crying about it here just makes me think that you shouldn't have gotten access to begin with.

    Given the actual intent of your post, the mod who banned you is undecided on whether you're getting back in again or not.
