Reason given was

Repeatedly ignoring on-thread mod warnings

Now this mod is shockingly bad, closes threads for no reason, hands out some ridiculous warnings while others get away with murder. Ive no idea who decided to make convert mod of horse racing but whoever it is made a bad decision.

had a comment which has now been deleted had personal abuse towards me which nothing was done about as per usual.


This thread which was having an interesting debate and was totally on topic was locked for no reason, joke modding by this person yet again.

I also have had previous pm discussion with him about a warning which he said a cmod was looking into weeks ago that i still have not heard back on.

I have many many more examples of convert in action if you need them, i will await a response for now.

Have you contacted the mod about your ban and subsequently one of the sports cmods if your answer from the mod wasn't to your satisfaction, as outlined in the boards.ie dispute resolution procedure?

mdwexford

I have contacted the mod but i have never got a resolution from them before either.
Ill contact a cmod now, thanks you.

mdwexford

The cmod seems to have even less of a clue than convert so id like you guys to have a looks.

From that thread I can see a poster coming on and asking a simple question and the first reply is you correcting his spelling and generally acting the smart arse throughout the thread. Warnings were given and you chose to ignore them, so I fail to see why you're surprised at getting banned.

A comment was made against you after you again made a snide comment. However while telling someone to get a life may be considered rude, it is not personal abuse. You made the following comment on the thread:

He started 2 imo silly threads, im hardly going to listen to some randomer who puts up a name and nothing else.

If you hold the OP in such low regard, why bother posting on the thread at all?

I don't know enough about horse racing to understand the ins and outs of the discussion, but if a mod locks a thread on the grounds that it's going round in circles I have no reason to disbelieve them. Did anyone PM convert to ask for the thread to be re-opened?

I also have had previous pm discussion with him about a warning which he said a cmod was looking into weeks ago that i still have not heard back on.

I have no knowledge of this, but if convert has more to add regarding this matter it can be posted here.

I have many many more examples of convert in action if you need them, i will await a response for now.

So far your examples have been less than overwhelming, all I've seen is you being snide towards other posters and ignoring a mod's instructions. On the evidence presented so far it would seem that your attitude is what is in need of adjusting and I see no reason whatsoever to overturn the ban you've been given.

I don't think the above thread really requires much more explanation. Especially when taken into consideration along side the thread below:

I don't discuss other users' actions on thread. If the Admins would like details on this, I can supply it via PM.

This thread was deleted because, firstly, it had gone miles off topic. It started regarding whether or not Dunguib would go to evens money before the race. While the majority of threads are largely on topic, it began to descend into a debate on Dunguib's jockey and whether or not his tactics and/or riding resulted in the horse losing. As I said in the thread, it's a discussion that could go around and around in circles as there's no definitive answer. It was also been discussed in other threads at the time.

Nobody PM'd asking for the thread to be re-opened, though mdwexford did comment, via PM, on my decision to close it (it was added in at the end of a PM querying an infraction).

This was regarding this infraction in this thread, in which pre-Cheltenham tensions seemed to increase as the thread progressed. mdwexford queried the decision and I told him I'd refer it to a CMod. However, the CMod I PM'd was away at the time. When I learned that this CMod was away, I PM'd the other CMod who backed my decision to infract the above user and also mentioned his questioning of my decision on thread here.

This is the PM I sent to him in response to his rather abrupt query via PM:

Hi mdwexford,

Both your infractions in the Horse Racing forum have arisen from your insulting other posters on two separate occasions, something which is against the forum charter.

When I replied to your query regarding your initial infraction, I was awaiting a response from a CMod. I thought I had replied since, but if you say I haven't, I obviously didn't, and for that I apologise.
However, your previous infraction still stands.

If you wish to discuss this further, don't hesitate to PM me. If you wish to take it further, then you can contact either of the CMods, Sparks or uberwolf.

C

I'm happy to supply any other info you require on this, either here or via PM.

mdwexford

Questioning a mods decision is so futile, i knew whats the response would be but just said id try again to see had things changed since the poker forum debacle. They obviously have not. Oh well, thanks for your time.

This has nothing to do with you questioning a mod's decision, and all to do with your generally unacceptable behaviour in the forum. If you're not going to take responsibility for your own actions there, and suffer any subsequent punishments, then there's not really much point in having the discussion with you in the first place.
