    That may be a little premature, generally we save the cat pictures until after we're clear what's happened.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,758 ✭✭✭Stercus Accidit


    Maybe its from comparing the IAA to the IRA, or were you banned for that?

    Maybe someone looked at your previous posts, and decide you are a troll?

    Hmm, you are right, no pm's is bold of the mods.

    Pm silver haze right now mods, and let him know why his stellar contributions so far aren't being taken account of.

    Ah don't berate jack, he hasn't done any wrong.

    He just isn't as used to silver haze as we are.

    i'm not allowed throw cats at the airsoft troll now?

    is this as amoderator or as a poster who hasn;t realised that the op has called us a bunch of rip off merchants that prey on 14 year olds
    he has no real interest in airsoft he , to my knowledge , never skirmishes and only posts derogatory and trollish stuff

    i'm sure that an airsoft mod will explain why he is banned
    i hope he stays banned


    have a look through his post so far why don't you


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,758 ✭✭✭Stercus Accidit


    TBH tigger, we have to go through the rigmarole of getting the mods to explain, usually pretty damningly why the user was banned, then cats are welcome.

    Yea those five infractions you received before not give you any hints? Pretty sure people get emailed on infractions.

    Or it could be the somewhat rude responses you post (not sure if it is intentional or not), but generally doing it to the moderator of the forum will get you banned.

    firstly i never made such a comparrison, i used the title of the Real IAA for a thread, some idiots must have made further connotations with that.

    i have done nothing that is punnishable by a ban.

    youve really gotten carried away with yourself there chap havnt you.

    where did i accuse anyone of the above, i just thought that it was a little unfair that people are being exploited.
    what do you mean by "us" by the way?
    do you own airsoft as a sport or something, maybe. you run or own this forum or something.

    no, i thought not.

    i may not skirmish at your precious site but i do skirmish, and am very much into airsoft.

    as far as i know its 10 infractions before a ban.
    so am i banned in airsoft as i opened up a thread here about the adverts section, is that it?

    i only started this thread for some clarification, if you cant give it or only have sad little cat picture to offer then dont waste your time. stick to world of warcraft.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,414 ✭✭✭kdouglas


    There's a chain of command for these type of queries.

    PM'ing the moderator(s) normally comes before feedback threads and to be honest, most feedback threads are just full of lolcats anyway :).

    I wasn't the mod that banned you, but looking at the last couple of infractions you got, i'd imagine it was Rew that banned you, perhaps you should PM him?

    And yes, it's 10 infractions before an automatic ban, mods have discretion though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,758 ✭✭✭Stercus Accidit


    stick to world of warcraft.

    That constitutes personal abuse! :D

    No no, play wow if you want people I wont judge, but silver haze, you aren't really endearing yourself to anyone here, or making much of a case for yourself.

    Have you pm'd the airsoft mods to seek clarification on this?

    Perhaps its all just a misunderstanding.

    Re: the real iaa, that was in the past, but sets the tone for your style of posting, its on what, the second page of your previous posts?
    And was a pretty immature title.

    The posts after that aren't exactly great either.

    I'm curious my self what was the final nail since then to constitute the ban.


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


    Its 10 infraction for a site ban (unless they decide to do it early) 3 infractions in a forum in the space of a month deserves a ban imo.

    Bang on.
    Considering its a sub of the adverts site on boards for the nature of what's being sold.


  • Posts: 5,589 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    OP - if you were banned on the basis of a feedback thread, thats not on IMO and you would have a case for getting the ban overturned.

    youve really gotten carried away with yourself there chap havnt you.

    is sunny out , makes me hyper


    where did i accuse anyone of the above, i just thought that it was a little ][unfair that people are being exploited.

    id say the most likley to be exploited are the employees in the chineese shops you're so happy to promote



    what do you mean by "us" by the way?


    everyone who is not you

    do you own airsoft as a sport or something, maybe. you run or own this forum or something.

    no



    no, i thought not.

    well you have me there then


    i may not skirmish at your precious site but i do skirmish, and am very much into airsoft.

    i don't have a site, i skirmish all over

    where do you skirmish? can i come and bring a team. i enjoy meeting people i imagine you are nicer in real life
    people are nicer to me in real life i think the internet brings out the worst in some people


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,458 ✭✭✭✭gandalf


    Not banned by me either, if you haven't posted on there it could be the case that you were banned a while ago. I would say Rew was the mod that banned you based on the fact that he is responsible for most of the infractions as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,758 ✭✭✭Stercus Accidit


    I thought it was llort at the time, made a mistake.

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=56135066&postcount=40

    plus his posts afterwards, and abusing rew in pm afaik got him a ban.

    I would have copped if I hadn't mixed up my trolls.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 173 ✭✭silver haze


    its grand, its a ban from a while ago that just hadnt been lifted, have emailed Rew, thanks to those who made positive contributions.

    Yeah, its not something that you just forget.

    Is this just an excuse to create another thread in Feedback about airsoft in the hopes of getting it shut down?




    Is 10 infractions really a site ban? Is it over a period of time in total?


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 5,555 ✭✭✭tSubh Dearg


    10 infactions within a 10 day period results in a week long site ban. This is mainly used for getting rid of spammers fast and then the site ban is upgraded to permanent by a passing SMod or Admin.
