Am I being targetted by a moderator?

sligobhoy67

Since I questioned the methods of a certain moderator I feel I have been unfairly targetted by the said moderator.

I get the impression that s/he is bullying me and trying to have me banned.

Is there anything I can do about it?

MarkR

Are these subliminal messages, or can you provide links to the bullying?

It might be an idea to post a link and/or give more information.

pm the cat mod and/or a SMod. with links of examples

Post examples of this "Targetting"?

Ruu_Old

Contacting the category mod (C-Mod in their profile) is normally the first thing to do. You can send me a PM if you wish.

Ignore the red dot on your forehead.

sligobhoy67

well most of the targetting is via PM so I am not sure that its cool to reproduce them here.

Also I have had posts deleted as the were "off topic" - although they were talking about the same topic as numerous posts on the same thread (with no other posts being deleted)

Extremely high if you're in the right. Extremely low if you're not.

I say this as someone who, before being made a mod, had a fairly large fight with a mod and was supported in a Feedback thread made about it.

You can send the PMs on to the Cat mod if they request them.


Don't put them here.

I'm the target of mod abuse all the time.

And I'm a mod.

Must you mention me in every thread you post in?!

I understand your little crush and all that and am very flattered but I may have to report you for stalking.....

GuanYin

If you substitute the word "Crush" for "disdain" and the word "little" for "total" then I think you've nailed the situation right on the head.

That fact that you're flattered by it... well the defence rests.

You and 6th should form a support group, you're very alike.

I can understand the 'total disdain' comment but lumping me in with 6th? That's low man, real low.

you dont see the family resemblance at all?

Judging by the first half dozen replies here the impression isn't that good tbh. Take a look at the language used by the posters. They're practically scoffing which implies they've already made their mind up yet have heard nothing on the issue.
Appearances mean a lot

I wouldn't say "scoffing", but the lack of information supplied by the OP doesn't lend must credibility to his claims.

The fact that he further goes on to claim that there's no point in asking other mods for help only adds further suspicion - why bother asking for help and then telling the people who offer, "I don't trust you to help me"?

Both Ruu and WWM have directly offered to help and the possibility of asking Smods/Cmods is always on the table. So he's being listened to.

I too have had some harrowing experiences with a mod. I would love to elaborate further but frankly I fear for my life.

Totally justified.

Thanks for that WWM - I have now been blocked from the Sligo forum for calling said moderator a jackass and a moron - all of which may be true but I shouldn't have allowed him to provoke me just so he achieve his goal of blocking me.

I would just like to point out that I have never had any problem on any forum in all the time I have been on here apart from with this moderator.

Leeby

Not sure, but at a guess I'd say he's talking about the locked thread in the Sligo forum about football supporters clubs. A few people went off topic and he was the only one who got pulled up on it. Though there may have been personal abuse in there that was taken out afterwards. Like I said, just a guess.

I'm crap at computers so I bet this won't work but here's my attempt at a link!

If that is not baiting the poster, I do not know what is.

Why was this poster honed in on?
The Mod was off topic themself. This was even pointed out to them

6th

Post 31 took it back on topic and all was well. sligobhoy67 brought it back off topic by questioning the mod despite muffler asking for people to take it to PM or FeedBack if they have a problem in post 30.

Fair ban imo.

Now sligobhoy67 if you think muffler is following you around can you post other examples coz the above one seems like a good call by the mod.

seamus

Smods have access to deleted posts.

Sligobhoy went way off-topic, then abused the moderator when the moderator asked people to stay on topic.

There's not really any case here.

Just to coin in on this.

sligobhoy67 has been causing nothing but problems on the Sligo forum... and it's about time he was banned.

He wrote muffler one or two PM's in which muffler forgot to reply to and felt like bringing that up on every occassion he could. He commented in a thread (Sligo Forum Rocks!) that the moderators think they are Gods and that the forum is over-moderated.

Myself and muffler were thinking of taking a stricter stance on off-topic posting (as it's one of the main problems in the forum) and I posted a thread asking for feedback: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055253637.

We eventually decided that we wouldn't take a stricter stance in banning users (unless it was REALLY necessary) but if we say 'back on topic!', it should be adhered to. Not too much to ask. We have said we don't mind an off-topic post here and there but when a conversation is derailed, we need to get it back on topic.

So sligobhoy67 seemed to take offence to this and on numerous occassions.. if someone posted slightly off-topic, he's reply just to say "Off-topic.. they should be banned! LOL!"

The guy just seems out to give both myself and muffler a hard time and more work.
