Banned for no justified reason

    On the Web Games forum I was banned for no justified reason.

    In the thread discussing the demise of the Cybernations group BAPS I was saying how I ad to gloat about their demise as I told them they would fail.I said how if they joined the Fianna,a new Irish CN group which was being announced in the section before BAPS until one of the mods AMP I belive deleted the thread and made the BAPS sign in.

    I was insulted yet never directly insulted anyone,They were left go,yet I was banned,I believe either Amp has a personel grudge as of the above or else is annoyed because I said something about his alliance.If you read the thread it's self"Unlucky BAPS" you should see it there.He claims I was trolling but I was not,even in my last post before Amps posted I talked aobut us working together and setting asside diffrences so the argument could be ended.

    Also I was not contacted about being Banned,I had to logout to see that I had been.

    If you feel you were insulted report the post.
    PM Amp if you feel you were hard done by.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 46,544 ✭✭✭✭muffler


    The first thing you should do is PM the mod concerned and allow a couple of days for a reply. If after that time you have not got a reply or are still unhappy with the mods decision you could take the matter up here but its bad form going on a rant in the first place.

    From your comments above (a bit contradictory though) it would seem that you have issues with the mod and have questioned his "alliance" which is not really on.

    And to say that you "never directly insulted anyone" clearly shows that you did indeed insult someone - just that you didnt do it directly.

    Advice: Pm Amp and let this thread go.


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


    Be sure to mention in the pm how the forum in question has little traffic and he should consider himself lucky that you posted there in the first place. If I know Amp, that will work for yea.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,039 ✭✭✭Seloth


    lol I never ment to insult anyone either but being happy about the downfall of the cn group may come across as insulting.

    and I was going to pm amp but I couldnt see the forum to contact him,I have found his profile else where and will do so.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,446 ✭✭✭✭amp


    And then I replied. And while I made some points I still believe that the heart of the message I was trying to send Seloth was that he should go and fuck himself, hard, preferably with something rusty.

    If an Admin has a problem with this, please let me know :)

    'Fraid that's par for the course with AMP old son.

    most of the other mods are fair enough,but this dude seems to be a different kettle of fish.Most other mods have a sense of fairness but this guy,in my opinion, abuses his "power" and seems the admins tolerate it.

    Just ban you,no warning, you are wasting your time pming or anything like that.In my experience you won't get a reply.
    Long as there are mods like that, and they are tolerated,hey, not much you can do.
    Sorry for your troubles son, but all people like you and I can do is highlight this stuff.

    Ah FlutterinBantam, voice of the common user, fighter against the oppression. I actually did reply, however Seloth was too impatient to wait a whole half an hour for it.

    And he was quite clearly banned for trolling. By this I mean he was deliberately trying to incite a flamewar, which is not tolerated on Webgames and most other forums.

    And given that I put a **** load of work into creating BAPS, and other boards.ie members put in a lot more making it an alliance that could have reached sanction status had we not been betrayed, I find your automatic suggestion of corruption ****ing ridiculous in the extreme.

    But by all means continue your Don Quixote like crusade, someday you might actually discover some real corruption on boards!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭FlutterinBantam


    I can only recount my own experiences here.

    I am not stupid enough not to know the facts in my case.

    I have every respect for the mostly thankless jobs that the mods do, and fully

    realise the importance of moderation on a site like this.

    What pisses off Don Quixotes like me is cavaleir attitudes of people who ban

    without warning and then do not reply to pm's

    Also people who treat some users as an "inner coterie" ,above the law

    applicable to other "ordinary users.

    That attitude can only fester anger and annoyance in those Fora,whereas the

    Mod who warns,and then stands up and is counted when issuing a ban,would

    always have my full support.

    That's a double negative which effectively means "I am stupid enough to know the facts in my case". Is English your first language or are you actually stupid?
    I have every respect for the mostly thankless jobs that the mods do, and fully

    realise the importance of moderation on a site like this.

    But yet you always assume that the moderators are wrong and that the user is right despite the fact that 99% of the time, the users ego has been bruised and they can't believe that someone on the internet has told them they have broken the rules.
    What pisses off Don Quixotes like me is cavaleir attitudes of people who ban

    without warning and then do not reply to pm's

    Well, sometimes, if I feel that a user has made a genuine mistake I will let them off with a warning. However, if I feel a user is an idiot who has nothing to add to a forum apart from disruption and idiocy then I feel it's natural justice to treat them in kind.
    Also people who treat some users as an "inner coterie" ,above the law

    applicable to other "ordinary users.

    Please show me examples of how I do this. If not then why do you make this point?
    That attitude can only fester anger and annoyance in those Fora,whereas the

    Mod who warns,and then stands up and is counted when issuing a ban,would

    always have my full support.

    Well I could care less about your support. Seriously. I've been on boards for over eight years now, and your type of fight the power crap has been done over and over and over and over and over again. I have experience, you do not. Therefore I am right and you, well you're just wrong. Live with it :)

    This is the problem with warnings, people think they are entitled to them. In light of the fact surrounding this issue, sloth deserves what he got.

    Ah the ordinary poster, the Joe User, harmlessly wandering down the street.

    Bollocks.

    You do not represent the ordinary user. You are not the voice of the people. You are one of a tiny, tiny minority of users on these forums that loves to fight the power, without resorting to things like facts.

    I mean, if you had even the ability to say "Hey, I was wrong, amp got it right" or if you even had some coherent argument to counter what I'm saying then I would upgrade my respect to you from say, an amoeba level to maybe some sort of multicellular organism.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,894 ✭✭✭Chinafoot

    As far as I'd be concerned the charter is your warning.

    Then you have to take it on a case by case basis. Not everyone deserves an additional warning. In this case the OP was in the wrong. Ban was deserved.

    I am not looking for your respect or anyone elses respect.

    I am putting it up to you.

    Why was I banned from The Cuckoo's Nest????


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    What? Get your own thread...


    OP you said "In the thread discussing the demise of the Cybernations group BAPS I was saying how I had to gloat about their demise as I told them they would fail."

    I take it this wasnt in a friendly banter way, it was in an "I told you so way".


    hmmm... Thats a real dickhead thing to do. I would say a two week ban should be warning enough not to act the d1ck.

    DeV.

    So, you want me, to go and explain something completely unrelated to this topic, and in fact regarding a forum that is generally completely different from any other forum on boards and yet you do not answer one single argument from me.

    Na, that's not how I roll. Quid pro quo Clarice.

    Well seeing as you banned me at 3:54 am and seeing how you pm'd me at 2:20 pm only after I pm'd you first asking why I was banned is not a 30 min wait nor is it a warning,

    As well as this I was not nor did I plan to start a flame war,In your pm you state"I regard your posts to be both ignorant and inflammatory and the death of a great alliance I founded and was further made great by the hard work of other people is not something I will allow you to gloat about further".

    Cleary it is you that is wishing to being one,a great alliance indeed,your were disliked by most as your sneaky tactics in the last GW.If you are truly great why is your alliance set to perma ZI and allowed to be nuked.You are the one who is taking things too serious my friend.If you find people to anger you on the internet as easy as this as well abusing your powers then you should really take a good long look at yourself.

    If I ment to personally insult them then I would have but why would I bother,I dont hate the alliance or the people in it.So what if you put allot of hard work into it,allot of people put ahrd work into things that matter and they never get any thanks or regignition.When we were setting up the Fianna we had messages plastered over th Webgames forum,we said we were gonig to make a sign in thread as soon as our forum was finished which it nearly was.We finished the forum which was full of guides for the many new players that would have joined,plans for both military and economics,had loads of things done and when I go to post that the Fianna was ready to start you deleted our thread in which you had posted on and start a Baps one.As of that we lost our main area for members and we never took off.But so what,all the "work" was gone to waste and no one cares so please stop your whinning.

    I think what FlutterinBantam is trying to say is that Amp is using his powers for his own gain.Banning people who disagree and such.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,919 ✭✭✭Bob the Builder


    I agree that the OP was deserving of a ban because of trolling mainly, not so much insulting or offensive language.

    Secondly, Amp, I do feel that your ban attitute can be slightly excessive sometimes.

    When I first joined Boards, when I had 44posts, most of them posts on TCN, you banned me. I was being stupid, yes, I know, i was being a total dumbass. But you never pm'd me to tell me why or how I got banned, and it's only looking back on it now that I realise what i was doing. I pm'd you to ask you why, and I offered an apology, but to which i was never granted a reply. I opened a thread in Feedback, and I never got a reply from amp. I must admit, that I did feel insulted when that happened. I then went on to create another account NevF61, to which was banned immediatley.

    I'm just telling my side of the story, and tbh, I'm not too bothered about it, and therefore, I can't be arsed opening a new thread over such a petty issue. I also understand that if you are completely laid back, you are opening yourself to even more problems, but I feel there is a happy medium in there somewhere that has not being reached by many of the mods around here. Yet, i do fully respect that some mods have to neglect a social life, to have to come on here every night to sift through endless hours of crap.

    I also feel that warnings for minor things are good to have, but when it comes to direct things like people trolling or spamming the Boards that they will be treated by a permanent ban. I think temporary bans are more efective than warnings to be honest. (eg. for maybe a week or a month). Just telling you my side of the story. Thats all.

    Your alliance flopped, BAPS did not. Get over it.
    I think what FlutterinBantam is trying to say is that Amp is using his powers for his own gain.Banning people who disagree and such.

    No, you were banned for trolling. You admit it yourself. You said that you wished to gloat about the demise of BAPS. You admit that you enjoy it.

    BAPS is the Boards Alliance of Protectorate States. I founded it. In the same way that GOONS was the official alliance of something awful, BAPS was the official alliance of boards.ie. It still is.

    Hell I even remember, discussing a merger between the Fianna and BAPS, but the members of BAPS didn't want it. They thought they could do a better job on their own. And by god they were right, because I can't even find Fianna on Planet Bob at all.

    So please, get over yourself. I didn't kill your thread. I merely stopped you from trolling the recruitment thread for BAPS.

    What was your purpose in posting to Webgames? Was it to gloat like you said you wanted to? Did you have anything constructive to post? No, you merely wished to piss people off. Grow the **** up.

    I'm afraid your not telling all of your side of the story. You see you posted to the thread entitled "Post in this thread to get permanently banned. (EXTREME STUPIDITY FILTER)" in which the first post contains the following text:
    Hi,

    It occurs to me that some people might actually want to be banned from this forum but don't wish to go to the trouble of pm'ing me. This thread is for your convienence.

    Anybody (apart from me, and ANYBODY ELSE I CAN'T ACTUALLY BAN) posting to this thread will be permanently banned.

    I'm not kidding.

    Have a nice day.

    As far as I'm concerned anybody who ignores the various warnings, including the many posts by me, telling of people getting banned, is too stupid for me to reply to.

    I generally don't react to stupid people. You are a stupid person. At least you were, maybe you're not that stupid right now, but you were back then.

    I do not pm people when I ban them. Why? Because I am a firm believer pissing people off in order to teach them how to behave properly. If you haven't the decency to read a short charter explaining how to avoid being banned then you simply aren't worth the effort.

    So, no, I do not pm people I ban. Because I only ever ban really stupid people. Like Seloth or FlutterinBantam or any of the hundreds of people I have banned in the past. Get clever, read the charters, and you'll have no trouble with me.

    I think I am in a position to tell you to grow up. I'm a moderator. This is my position. I can and will tell you what to do, and as long as you don't like that, you don't get to post in Webgames.

    As far as the rest of your post in concerned, I really can't understand it. I know you have dyslexia but I genuinely don't understand what you're trying to say.

But you never pm'd me to tell me why or how I got banned, and it's only looking back on it now that I realise what i was doing. I pm'd you to ask you why, and I offered an apology, but to which i was never granted a reply. I opened a thread in Feedback, and I never got a reply from amp. I must admit, that I did feel insulted when that happened. I then went on to create another account NevF61, to which was banned immediatley.

    I'm just telling my side of the story, and tbh, I'm not too bothered about it, and therefore, I can't be arsed opening a new thread over such a petty issue. I also understand that if you are completely laid back, you are opening yourself to even more problems, but I feel there is a happy medium in there somewhere that has not being reached by many of the mods around here. Yet, i do fully respect that some mods have to neglect a social life, to have to come on here every night to sift through endless hours of crap.

    I also feel that warnings for minor things are good to have, but when it comes to direct things like people trolling or spamming the Boards that they will be treated by a permanent ban. I think temporary bans are more efective than warnings to be honest. (eg. for maybe a week or a month). Just telling you my side of the story. Thats all.

    You think the thread title would have been warning enough.

    I'm afraid your not telling all of your side of the story. You see you posted to the thread entitled "Post in this thread to get permanently banned. (EXTREME STUPIDITY FILTER)" in which the first post contains the following text:
    Yep, that was me being stupid, and I didn't even remember that i had posted in there. My ban was well deserved, I never denied that.
    As far as I'm concerned anybody who ignores the various warnings, including the many posts by me, telling of people getting banned, is too stupid for me to reply to. I generally don't react to stupid people. You are a stupid person. At least you were, maybe you're not that stupid right now, but you were back then.
    I do not pm people when I ban them. Why? Because I am a firm believer pissing people off in order to teach them how to behave properly. If you haven't the decency to read a short charter explaining how to avoid being banned then you simply aren't worth the effort.
    Yes, I was a stupid person, and to be quite honest, I think Boards.ie was one of the first forums I ever signed up to, because it was just after I turned 13 afaik, and just after i got broadband. I was an idiot back then, but I was still insulted that i didn't get a reply. You could have at least replied to one? Even if you just told me to feck off, and briefly explained what I did wrong, I would have been happy just to go away. I didn't even know what a charter was back then tbh :D

    What you did wrong was in the thread title. I can't believe you're highlighting your past behavior in this way.

    Seriously, you wanted me to explain how posting to a thread entitled "Post here to be permanently banned (Extreme Stupidity Filter)" would cause you to be permanently banned?

    I'm sorry but I just can't underclock my brain that low.

    No, not lazy, just can't understand the points you are making. Can you rephrase them maybe and be sure I will reply in full!

    Ah yes the ban thread!

    Many funny moments.

    :D

    I never understood why people appealed when being banned by posting in that topic. So confusing. And odd.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,793 ✭✭✭✭Hagar


    It's like a "Wet Paint" sign. People complain then when they get wet paint all over their hands.

    No, it was just that I had forgotten back then that i had posted in that thread and therefore failed to see how i was banned. Thats how stupid I was....

    I don't care anymore. I know what I did wrong and I accept it. I just felt that you were slightly OTT with the way you did immediately ban people for little things. That was my situation back then, and I know now exactly what i did wrong, but I wasn't as intelligent then....

    So your saying I was slightly OTT for immediately banning you when you posted in a thread entitled "Post here to be permanently banned". Hmm. Ok. No. Not really seeing how I was OTT. But please, continue to not care, and accept you were wrong while at the same time telling me I was OTT.

    Right, that's my stupidity quota for the day.

    As it turns out, AMAZINGLY!, the user who suggested that their ban was entirely unjustified was spectacularly wrong! Therefore this thread is over!

    BRING ON THE KITTIES! LET THIS THREAD RIVAL ANIMAL SHELTERS THROUGHOUT THE LAND!

    So, no, I do not pm people I ban. Because I only ever ban really stupid people. Like Seloth or FlutterinBantam or any of the hundreds of people I have banned in the past. Get clever, read the charters, and you'll have no trouble with me.


    I have come across rude arrogant people in my time, but you are well up there my friend.

    however i won't give you the satisfaction of banning me for insulting you,much as I'd like to do.

    The way you treated Nevf was nothing short of despicable,hope it made your sad little day.

    amp I am only stupid in your eyes as I disagree and gloated about your alliances destruction,how that is idocy I do not know.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,208 ✭✭✭✭aidan_walsh


    Gloating is usually pretty idiotic.

    Oh and as for the people complaining about being banned for posting in the "post here to get banned" thread... like really, honestly, did you think it was a big april fool or something?

    Wow. I didnt think people could BE that dumb. Sorry for being blunt but really. I mean, come on.


    DeV.

    Maybe he posted in the thread on opposite day. Was it opposite day when you posted there, Seloth?
