Banned?

Teddi

Im wondering why I can't access the personals section?

Its as if I was banned or something...as Im not sure why as I only go to the personals section to keep updated on my thread I have there..

If I have been banned for something..its odd as i didnt even get a warning if I had posted something unfit for the forum....if I did I apologise but can an admin help me on this? Thank you.

It wasn't exactly helpful (whether you were right or wrong is irrelevant, though I don't see how you thought infecting his wife with HIV was deserved).

Besides, if the personals section is http://www.adverts.ie/index.php?cat=4 If you acted like Personal Issues was a personals section you would have been banned over that anyway.

Dudess

One of the Personal Issues moderators has banned you for one week because of your "serves you right" comment.
Personal Issues is a forum where unhelpful remarks are not tolerated. Plus, that comment was tantamount to an attack on the OP, no matter how justified you felt you were. You can't really let your personal convictions get in the way when someone is looking for impartial advice.

Teddi

Yea..I know it wasnt the right thing to say....

My reasonings for saying it ...is because a close friend of mine was infected like that due to an unresponsible b/f...very similiar to that OP's situation...

I could have been warned though..then made an apology...

Dudess

Some offences are not deemed serious enough to warrant a banning - in those cases, yes, you will get a warning. But a personal attack - instant banning. Often it's a permanent one though, so your punishment is still on the lighter end of the scale.

Hagar

If I were you I'd make the apology anyway.
Even if the ban isn't lifted you have done the honourable thing and that is always more important than the cost.

Boston

should have been permanent.

We don't always warn people. If someone makes an extremely inappropriate comment on PI (and other fora) then you can find yourself with a ban and having no idea why. This is good in my opinion as it confuses you, and then makes YOU waste your time in trying to find out why you were banned. This is good because the mods spend their time trying to make the forum a clean and proper place for intelligent discussion, so why should they spend more time on someone that obviously doesn't give a hoot about the forum. Because you showed that you didn't give a hoot about the forum.

No wooing people with your experiences of Aids

My reasonings for saying it ...is because a close friend of mine was infected like that due to an unresponsible b/f...very similiar to that OP's situation...

It's a shame you didn't woo the audience with your supreme experience in this field. You could have even made it an interesting post using wit, but sometimes wit can go too far and reduce your wooing abilities. Because as you know - one truly can be too wit to woo.

lol, I was wondering where gordon was going with that last paragraph.

Teddi

Excuse me...id rather you not mock the serious situation of my close friend thank you...say what you will to me...but don't include that into the equation.

Teddi

On another note...

I do apologise for saying what I did..and if I had the chance I would take it back, It was a spare of the moment thing.

We all make mistakes.

There is a big difference between saying something on the spare of the moment and typing it. You have time to stop yourself hitting the post button.

How many warnings do you get before you get banned, and is it possible to dispute a warning? I only just joined and already got a warning for a totally innocuous jovial post about visa waivers in the USA. The warning blasted me as a "spanner"! I've never been called a spanner in my life - what's a spanner???

Under the infraction system if you get 9 infraction points in 10 days then you get a 1 week site ban. This is only a new system and the wrinkles are still being ironed out in it. Things could change and it may even be dropped. You received a warning which means no points.

I can't envisage any one getting 9 points in the space of 10 days unless they were trying too or unless they are someone who seriously breeches site wide rules such as spamming.

actually, afaik (which isnt much when it comes to hardware tools) thats an adjustable spanner, or a monkey wrench.

both of which are extremely useful.

so cheeseprayer, when you were called a spanner, they actually meant you were a very useful chap

That's what I thought, hence I couldn't understand why it was a warning. The spanner being an incredibly useful piece of equipment, usually with 2 different sizes.

Actually you are being referred to as an old fashioned poster that is out of touch with all around . You have been surpassed by the socket and wrench which in turn has been surpassed by that superdupersocketeytypethingwithloadsofpins that opens all sorts of nuts even rusty and broken ones .

The easiest way to not get banned is to not be a tool at all .

Teddi, it was me who banned you and I apologise for not sending a PM to accompany the ban. PI was going crazy over the weekend and I think that I banned 3 other people in conjunction with you.

I note your apology and contact me, or another mod, a week from the date of the ban, and we will rescind it.

I wasn't mocking your friends situation, I'm surprised that you think that.

Teddi

well if not mocking...hugely insensitive...I dont have a huge knowledge of that subject so I dont have a clue where you were going with that.

I'm hoping you see the irony in you finding Gordon's remark insensitive, when you said that the OP in the other thread deserved to get HIV.

I have this weird feeling ... now, I'm not at all sure of this, I could very easily be wrong ... and no doubt he will correct me if I am ... but I have this strange idea that that was exactly his intention!

Teddi

to get banned?

Sonnenblumen

Yeah, definitely justifies a banning to spend more time on the weighing scales.
