Banned from big brother forum.

    Hi,

    I'm sorry if this query shouldn't be here, i have pm'd mod in question and the feedback forum directs me here for my query. I was banned yesterday from the big brother forum for unnecessary hateful behaviour towards another user. I don't think that anything i said could be seen as hateful behaviour. I made a comment a few days ago that in my opinion one of the people on bb was a bit chavvy or did something i thought was chavvy then yesterday the user in question brought it up and demanded i 'answer the feckin question for gods sake' (his words not mine) and called me ignorant several times. I told the user if they were looking for an argument i was not prepared to give them one and when i stopped replying to the user they complained to a mod that i was being hateful.

    The mod posted that i was being banned for unnecessary hateful behaviour and pm'd me the same message and i was being a smart ass (i'm not clear if mod was saying this to me or repeating what the user user said to them about me?). I replied saying i didn't think i had behaved badly and i felt the other user was trying to goad me into a fight which i stated clearly in the thread i wasn't going to do. The mod then said they would contact the user about their version (its all in the thread, there was no pms) and ban them temporarily. The mod didn't post this only my banning. The mod also said the user asked me if i was looking for a fight and i kept replying but i think the mod is confusing this for my post as they never asked me if i was looking for an argument.

    Anyway i'm still banned from the forum and i really don't think i should be. Should i pm other mods on the forum, just bide my time or can it be resolved here? Thanks for your help.

    Kind Regards,
    LolaDub

    Hi there, your best bet is to try and sort it out with the mod in question. If you are not receiving a reply within an appropriate timeframe then try another mod or the category mod of the category that the forum is contained in.

    Hi Gordon, thanks so much for the response. Its a temporary ban but i'm quite offended by being banned due to being hateful so i'm trying to get my point across and resolve it. The mod in question has been in touch since i posted this saying they did not feel i had behaved in a hateful nature but i had been banned because two users had been offended although only the user who made the complaint and who was also banned said they were unhappy with my comments/opinion.
