    okay turns out im banned from Cool links, pics and vids

    Terry unjustly banned me for posting a link to rick-roll people.

    i hardly think its fair to get banned for that.some people may find it a cool link and its a video too.and i couldnt find anywhere in the Charter that says you're not allowed to Rick0Roll people on Boards.ie

    Ah come on, thats a no brainer. At this stage why would you bother posting it anyway? Everyone has seen it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,541 ✭✭✭irlrobins


    You were therefore banned under the general "Acting the muppet" rule


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,642 ✭✭✭kev_s88


    boo to you all.

    i only got rick-rolled for the first time yesterday.i didnt know how widespread it was so i posted it.it was innocent fun.wouldnt have minded if i had got an infraction but a 2 week ban is a bit over the top


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    An infraction means you might have done something silly again. I'm pretty sure a ban means you wont.

    C'mon Kev, you can take a ban on the chin.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,642 ✭✭✭kev_s88


    but 2 weeks without my precious youtube links......

    im too lazy to browse youtube myself :(

    tbh though none of this will change terry's mind so i may as well give up

    I think Terry explained his decision quite well here.

    Heh, 6th just got Rick-Rolled!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,642 ✭✭✭kev_s88


    the thing is that you actually got me Sherifu.

    at least it wasnt as bad as mine.the one i had was one the ones you can only get rid of through Task Manager.everytime you clicked the "x" on the main window an extra window popped up with the lyrics to the song...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    Heh, 6th just got Rick-Rolled!

    He wishes, you dont have to click a link to know what it goes to ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,642 ✭✭✭kev_s88


    see though rick-rolling can be fun hence my campaign to get me re-instated in Cool Links, Pics & Vids


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    Heh, nice one Sherifu.

    Well if that's true then that's the reason you got banned right there, not the rickrolling. Rickrolling could possibly be funny if it wasn't so stupid and way over done at this stage, but for posting shit like that Terry should not just have banned you but he should have gone to your house and shoved your modem up your ass.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    Ok who hacked stevenmu's account? He's never usually agressive.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,589 ✭✭✭Hail 2 Da Chimp


    He's on a one man mission to rid t'internet of Rick-rolling!


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 9,689 Mod ✭✭✭✭stevenmu


    I don't really care about rickrolling, but that popup you can't close crap is the single worst thing you can do on the internet. Someone did it to me back in 1998 and I still haven't forgiven them *shakes fist*

    Rick rolling is a total pile of bollix.

    You were banned for acting the muppet at the end of the day.

    It's not cool it's a pain in the ass and irritating. I'm sure some people would consider donkey porn cool but does that mean it can be posted in cool vids, hell no.

    As for the charter bit. From the after hours charter:

    I tried posting a reply to the OP's PM the other day, but boards was playing up.
    I have limited access at the moment.

    I also tried postig a rant about this crap in AH, but that didn't go through either.

    The ban stays.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    Just to add to this, any misleading link in AH or the sub forums will get you banned.
    We had far too much trouble in the past with people linking to viruses and stuff.
