Tail wagging the dog

imeddyhobbs

Is there any chance that I could use all the available sections offered to me on this site?

I have been banned for little or no reason fron at least 2 Categories and applied for my membership to be reinstated without any response from the moderators

I make a decent contribution to this site without offending anybody(excluding hypersensitive moderators)Dare I remind a moderator that they should not be confused with what offends him/herself over the reality of free speach and humor and a valid statement,to me its a case of the the tail wagging the dog here

Who is running the show here?

The reality is, there is no free speech here, this is a privately owned website.

The reality is that people here only pick out points from a statement and use it against you

Karl Hungus

It's not being used against you! What kind of persecution complex do you have? It's a clarification, simple as.

Decent contributions obviously include looking for a way to clock a company car to evade a limited usage policy, and trolling AH.

Anyway, where were you banned from?

The site owners! Given how people are ready to sue these days, the site owners have applied certain policies. This is enforced through a hirearchy of mods and also through the helpful acts of regular posters.
Boards is currently being sued - do you want more people to sue them?

People who know how to substantiate an argument. And spell correctly.

OK guys, you know how this goes...

• Post the correct cat pictures
• A page or two of trolling
• Compare to other idiots

I'll swing by in a day or so and lock it. Thanks!

imeddyhobbs : I've reviewed your banning, read your private messages, hacked the planet, and have decided I will not be instructing the cat mods (who btw are my employees) to lift you ban. If you have issue with this stance I implore you to contact the ombudsman.

Given the thread title I think you'll find dog pictures are more appropriate

Meh. I'm banned from pet issues (for provoking violence against Chinese fur salesmen) also from P.I. (for recommending violence)

Oh well.

If you actually are Eddie Hobbs then you deserved to be banned imo.

Amazing how thousands of people manage to use this site without running foul of these fascist mods.

Is this anything more then a generalised "waaaahhh?"

Fair enough but if a mod tells me(or anybody else)that I am banned for 2 weeks does that really mean that I'm banned forever?I find that aspect kind of confusing!

Just reading all the replys to this thread and i find it amusing,I have a good sense of humor!!But at the same time this feedback thread seems to be the spot to come to too get ridiculed

Anyway there ye go,hope this keeps some of you amused for a while

PS I did not ask for any advice about how to clock a car,I know how to do that!I asked if it was really as easy as I said it was without any consequences like damaging the car

I dont even know what trolling is so if I am doing it i'm now aware of it

RoundyMooney

Yeah right.

You going to pad this out with any more detail, and answer the question?

I find your thread confusing.

It starts off saying how you were banned from 2 categories, yet you've had no response from the moderators. Fair enough, that's a perfectly valid reason to take it to feedback. But, you don't even bother to say where you've been banned from, who banned you, and what reasons were give.

Then you start down the "Hurrr, moderators suck, tail wagging the dog, fite da powa!" road, and get very defensive when certain facts are pointed out to you.

You see, there's ways to go about getting unbanned. For example:

http://pie.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055206122
http://pie.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055200819

Ask politely, and it generally gets you unbanned. You started a thread that's full of presumption of moderators being wrong, and you telling us off. What do you expect?

2 weeks only seems like forever. In the case of AH, however, 2 weeks is forever.

Erm, sorry you'll have to speak up, I'm wagging a dog.

Patience.

Lolcats should be brought up at the appropriate time, not because... Any lolcat I post now would merely be a cynical gesture once it was asked for.

psi banned me from soccer about a year ago,he told me to get back to him after 2 weeks and i did but he never responded or granted me access.I am also banned from PI for reasons unknown and dont know who banned me

Ok so.

Did you contact psi again recently?

Also, I imagine you were banned from PI for this, and it was Thaedydal who banned you. Don't see any need for it to be permanent, so I'm sure if you were to PM her, and ask to be unbanned politely, she'd be more than happy to help.

What points?

RoundyMooney

Drop him a line again (psi). I haven't searched Soccer, but for a two week ban it was most likely a minor rule breach, I imagine.

I can't see why you were banned from PI, perhaps the post was removed, if there was one.

See, that wasn't so hard.

@ KH, he was still posting there subsequently, so that was just a boilerplate Thaed warning (TM).

Cuddlesworth

I truley don't care.

Boston

I know Thaed and she well never respect a man who is polite to her. I suggest you phrase you pm in the form of a ultimatum, make references to the lunar cycle, and remind her as often as possible that she is a woman. For extra brownie point mention how unbanning you is what a good Christian would do.

As for psi, the same should work on her.

RoundyMooney

If Thaed unbans this guy from PI, I'll eat your hat, Mr. B.

Won't make any difference how much you coach him to sweet talk me I won't be unbanning him.

Ah, so youre actually banned from 2 fora and not to categories?

Then youre obviously not that bad a person.

If you want I can ban you from 2 categories, and then you have a really good whinge.

I have to admit I laughed a little at that.

Stark, unhelpful and off-topic posting will get you banned from this forum.
Do take time to read DeV's boxers which contain the rules and abide by them.
Have a nice day.

The reason she won't be unbanning you is because she doesn't mod PI any more therefore she can't unban you. She just doesn't have the power.*

You my friend should choose your words correctly,I never asked for any advice on the aforementioned,I told you how it was done and asked if it was really that easy!I dare you to tell us otherwise.

Its ok,you dont need to say sorry,I accept that you are not a saint and that you will never be as honest as i am about my failings.
