Banned from Politics

casey212

Yet another ban.

Is it possible to post on these forums without being banned?

There seems to be a militia on all forums opposing anyone not yet fully indoctrinated.

Yes.

Do people have to hunt with the pack at all times?

I thought you started out well enough on that thread but you ended up bringing the lightbulbs into it. That and the fact that you couldn't apply any reasoning or backup to your position. Lecturing on indoctrination is not really the way to win hearts and minds however strongly you feel about it. So I can understand how you came to be banned.

It was hardly the most vicious set of posts ever made.

Even within the first few posts I can see that this thread will more than likely descend into insult, injury, and cats. And nothing will be resolved.

A suggestion ... someone tell the guy exactly why he was banned, let him respond, make a final decision and then lock the thread. And everyone else with any desire to post smart arsed, insulting, "clever", or feline related material please resist. Theres no need to kick seven shades of crap outa him.

Feedback would be the better for it.

Boards would be the better for it.

You would be some man to kick seven shades of crap out of me, either verbally or physically.

I am yet to hear a half clever or even witty remark on these forums. Never mind a good put down.

Yet, you couldn't resist sticking an oar in

TBH casey212, it does appear that you're not exactly helping yourself

I was only voicing my views on Gormless.

Just a genuine attempt to help ... do you think my suggestion would improve the gaff?

Surely you've been here long enough to realise that the majority of those who question their bans have been appropriatly banned and just assume the rules shouldn't apply to them?

There's a charter in every forum and muppets refuse to read them, get banned for breaking the charter and then complain. Why waste time debating with them when they have no intention of obeying the rules laid out for them?

And cat pics are funny.

Gandalf, with that post of yours I think you should be modding this forum .... and I'm speaking as someone who's posted enough crap.

casey212, can you post a link? Also you seem to have come here looking for a fight, not answers. Have you Pm'd the politics mods?

casey212 banned. I already warned you about dragging your conspiracy theories in here after you were banned from Green Issues.

There you go, case closed.

casey, if everyone here "followed the pack", half of the forums wouldn't exist because everyone would just agree with each other. You seem to think that it's your own personal uniqueness that makes you a target, that somehow it's your opinions that are causing hassle, not your conduct.

Here's a tip: The next time you want to post in a forum, read the charter first. You're not expected to conform to certain opinions but you are expected to conform to certain rules and ettiquete in your posts.

Gandalf23

Case closed indeed.

I suggest the same be done to this thread.

Yeah? Well what has that got to do with you.

Also, what makes people think I have the time to read charters. In my opinion, post away and deal with the problems later.

Because it's a lot quicker than to have feedback thread after feedback thread ?

Not as much fun mind you.

Well, you've been banned. I reckon you should take the time to read the charter next time, but for now take your own advice and deal with it.

Exactly, good to see someone with a bit of bite left.

So how are you going to deal with this problem now?

That would be your problem so.

But when you dont read the charter and get banned you are quick to run here like a little boy who has just fallen (running away after breaking the neighbours window) and scraped his knee. Mammy, mammy I am hurt and I didnt do anything wrong.

Since this morning I have now read the charter. I am now aware of the restrictions that it enforces, and if OB feels obliged I would like to have the ban lifted.

Problem resolved?

I think so. Now you just have to wait until your ban is up and then you won't have any more problems now that you are going to adhere to the rules. Happy days.

When I banned you from Green Issues, I informed you that the ban was "until I'm convinced you have something worthwhile to contribute". You promptly convinced me that you had, indeed, nothing of value to contribute.

This is just a repeat performance. Same criteria apply. I'm convinced you have nothing of value to contribute to Politics either.

dathi1

If you want to debate politics without sanction because of mods petty fetishes I suggest you go to Politics.ie. If you get banned there you deserve it.

cheers D.

oscarBravo

Heh. I'd love to know what "petty fetish" you think was behind my banning of casey212.

casey212

Maybe he thinks you have a thing for Johnny Gormley.

Anyway, I have said that I will keep in line, now that I know where the boundaries are. What more can I do? Surely everyone deserves a second chance.

DeVore

You didnt read the charter, you said yourself you didnt bother and would "deal with issues later". Well....



...its later. Serve your ban and maybe if you convince the mods that you have something of worth to contribute, then you can sit with the grown ups.

Until then... thread locked.
