Modding in the Rugby Forum

Size=everything

In today's match thread I made a comment about a Munster player chocking and hitting a player from behind. I did not insult the player in any way merely said it was thuggery and I hope he got a ban for that. Ruggie then decided to delete the comment. Now have we really got to the stage where if a Munster player commits an act of thuggery for all to see it can't even be mentioned? Its a valid point. But whatever, Ruggie PM'd me to say he didnt want it in the Munster match thread in case it derailed it. So instead I started a new thread mentioning all the acts of thuggery we've seen in rugby so far this year (mentioning not only tonights inciddent but the Parrise inciddent, the Quinlan inciddent, the Rhys Thomas inciddent and the Du Preez inciddent) Essentially asking teh question is thuggery creeping into rugby. This thread was swiftly deleted not 30 seconds after I made the time to type it up. Why? To be honest its a disgrace


I know why I was banned, that isn't the issue here its the general modding. I think the mods do a great job especially Ruggie I am just sick and tired of the fact that we are unable to discuss all aspects of players and teams because some posters seem to get offended (and these posters are ALWAYS munster fans) when its not positive reviews. I don't know if its because a lot of them come from Munsterfans.com and are used to users being banned and threads locked if posters disagree or something but its a real problem.

This is not really a helpdesk issue. I suggest you take this discussion either to the rugby forum, or you take it the feedback forum.
sorry.

Size=everything

my thread in feedback was locked and it was suggested it be moved here so...

After reading the Feedback thread, I do think this is a HelpDesk issue. My reasoning is here.

I'm going to discuss this issue with the mod in question and the other admins and get back to you here.

After reviewing the issue, it appears that Size=everything has a litany of infractions and warnings for borderline behaviour, particularly with relation to abuse of a particular Munster player.

Its a shame we can't discuss the match unless its favorable to Munster.

I'll take my banning Ruggie I refuse to post in a thread where you can't mention what everyone saw. To those posters who delight in my banning enjoy your 'discussion' where everything is positive to your views.

It appears to me to be a clear case of long term trolling on the part of Size=everything and I'm not at all surprised at the banning.

Size=everything, my advice is to stop the petty attacks singling out ROG. Looking at your posting history, you are noted for that in particular and I'm not at all surprised the Rugby mods will no longer tolerate you taking every opportunity to attack him.

We want to foster good rugby discussions on the forum, not descend into a Munster-Leinster flame fest. Your posting style is very much the latter - if you can't change that then I suspect you'll end up permanently banned from that forum relatively quickly.
