This does not warrant a permanent ban.

Mr. Incognito

Dear SetantaL,

You have received an infraction at boards.ie.

Reason: adverts.ie Rule Violation

---

Completely uncalled for and against charter, you will also find yourself permanently banned from the lounge.

Thanks

---

This infraction is worth 1 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire.

All the best,

I don't think this warantas a permanent ban- I have seen much worse in my time in the ladies lounge. It's not a PI and it wasn't directed any anyone in particular. I think this ban, frankly is bull****.

Silverfish

I'd say you deserved it.

Mr. Incognito

well the quote is there- is that worth a permanent ban? I was taking the piss out of threads entitled "What are you getting for valentines day"

biko

A - you deserved it. Calling wimmins whores in the Ladies Lounge? Bad boy!
B - it doesn't matter what "others did". We're talking about you now. Besides, they may or may not received infractions/bans you don't know of.

Quoi?

Reason: adverts.ie Rule Violation

kaimera

You got an adverts.ie rule violation infraction for that?

Sherifu

I'd say it's deserved.

IMO permanent bans are for people who either repeatedly cause problems, or for those who show they have no interest what the forum is for and are only out to cause trouble. Your post seems to fit the latter to me.

Mr. Incognito

I 'm not bringing anyone else into it. I stand over what I said- how does calling womens in general on the topic of valentines day justify a permanent ban??

If I had directed it at a fellew boardsie- fair enough that's personal abuse but what's the basis for this permanent ban- the mod isn't responding.

John Mason

well, you know the girls over there havent got a sense of humour - i actually thought it was funny

Exactly- this is a once off and I have many many normal posts in that lounge- anyway- where's the person to deal with this, all I have is a load of mods scratching their heads.

Karl Hungus

Hang on, did you actually get permanently banned, or just threatened with such a ban?

Mr. Incognito

I actually got permanently banned for that!!!

It's not PI, it's not directed at anyone and the ban is for advertising. I've seen much worse in the ladies loungue- it's light banter in there- but poof- Permanent ban for a once off joke. I cannot even see the need for a one week ban for that never mind a permanent one.

It was jules that banned you.

Mr. Incognito

It was jules that banned you.

i know- she's not responding to PM's. Surely there is some appeal process.

Vegeta

someones banning hand is way strong if that is a perm ban

week ban at a stretch (it is the ladies lounge after all, could have been on the blob (immature joke), you never know) or post deletion and warning but a perm ban

Harsh tbh

You could post in Helpdesk and see if a SMod will contact Jules about it.

When were you banned?

Is it possible Jules has gone offline and hasn't seen your PMs yet?

Maximilian

I think it was a bit obnoxious but funny. I would have said that banning you demonstrated a poor sense of humour on the part of the mods but that's the risk you took posting what you did in that particular forum and also, it is not actually clear that you were making a joke at all. It could easily be construed as just being maliciously anti-women.

Personally, I reckon the mod was just having her period**


*this is a joke, ladies.

I'd have given a ban for a week or two.. a perm ban seems a bit strong in my opinion.

Mr. Incognito

When were you banned?

Thanks- will do- about a half hour ago. I posted here straight away and sent her two pm's but no good.

Ah, you need to give these things time you see.

"Mods have lives too" and we aren't online 24/7 waiting for PMs from people.:)

themadchef

I wouldin't have taken it personally, as a female that is. Thought it was kinda funny. Would anyone take that seriously?

If the ladies lounge is that strict people will fear the ban stick and the fun will go out of it imo.

Yeah, that's pretty heavy handed tbh.

The infraction and warning of a ban would've been enough. Bans should be rolled out if there's a repeat offense.

g'em

Jules has had a tough day with the shenanigans going on in the LL and discussions about it in the sekrit forums and that was probably the back-breaking straw. A perma-ban was probably a bit much, but given the atmosphere in the LL at the mo I'm not entirely surprised it happened.

I'm sure Jules will respond to the PMs shortly.



@ DesF, speak for yourself... I hover over F5 waiting for my PM box to fill up... it's ben a long wait so far

It was an obvious joke- I'm not a 5 post troll here.If a mod is having a bad day- she shouldn't turn her forum into her own personal vandetta ground. ffs.

A permanent ban? I mean- come on!

Fair ban. I have a sister called Dules who's also a mod and if you had of spoke to her liek the way you spoke to those ladies she would have banned you too. Completely justifiable. Count yourself lucky you didn't get sitebanned. But thats just my opinion.

Cook is the ladies version.

Also, you should have a pink avatar or something. The avatar is clearly male.

And getting so aggressive isn't helping your cause. People are agreeing with you, as did I. Civility goes a loooooong way towards happy endings.

And SetantaL.

The Help Desk thread.

You said the "mod isn 't responding to PMs?"

Maybe she isn't online right now.

Maybe she is commuting in traffic to or from work.

Give it a bit of time, I also advised that.

Mr. Incognito

Eh no. Dules is my sister. Is this some sort of crazy game you're playing. Ok I'm a bit scared but I'll play along.

Apologies- I'm just a tad annoyed. I like to saunter about and have a bit of a laugh- as we all do, I think this is totally taking the air out of the baloon. I actually agree with the strict line in PI and things but if you can't make a joke in After hours or LL.............

hmmm.

You got a permanent ban. As I see it, you have two choices.

a: FFS I GOT BANNED FOR A LITTLE JOKE SHES A JOKE THIS FORUM IS A JOKE THIS IS INSANITY


b. Hi Jules, listen sorry about the dodgy message - if I promise I won't do it again, could you maybe give me a second chance and reduce it to a one month ban? thanks.


You went for option a. Our Survey says: "<that noise off of family fortunes>"

Seems ott to me, but that Jules is a tough bird.

Most true, but the way I see it is where's the line- there have been worse messages in there as it's a pretty relaxed foum yet I get a perm ban.

As for option b- probably better with a cool head but it's a joke I'd stand over. I actually don't think I broke the rules, at all. Whay look for a months ban.

Just deal with it sunshine. The lady has turned you down, she's said no. To proceed with this line of obstinance would be tantamount to rape.

You said something you shouldn't have said, and she took an action (IMO) that she shouldn't have taken. All shouting about it does is make it harder for either of ye to back down without losing face.

Mr. Presentable

It's falling under the derogatory posts definition and as such should be a ban. Perm is OTT in my opinion, and would agree with previous others that there is a bit of "time of the month" about Jules moderating generally. OK, so, it's her/his forum by the looks of it, but surely it's just a bit of nonsense like the fat boys one, no?

Okay- hands up I'm guilty.

But as to the original title of the thread- this does not warrant a perm ban- now what can I do about it? I've pm'ed Jules, I guess I'll have to wait for her say.

No friggin' way. BGRH is about much more than that.

On a more serious note, I think Jules and Windsock are just getting pissed off with all the crap that is going on in LL at the moment. Despite my best efforts, it is turning into a bit of a hornets nest.

It looks like the straw that broke the camels back. Getting narky with her is not the way to go, btw. Manners and civility go a long way.
