Okay, all I can say is that some of you are being a bit naive here if you think that DAMO was engaging in normal Poker forum 'irreverent banter'.
The fact is that these posts:
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=66281125&postcount=22]One
Two
Three
are just examples of DAMO's posting recently on this forum. Now if you still think that he's not serious and is complimenting koolkid read DAMOS Helpdesk postDAMO72 wrote:Everytime i post a reply to any thread on the poker forum wether it is serious or in jest Koolkid comes in behind me every time and contradicts whatever i say. He insists in posting in a very condesending way toward me and i reply in the only way that a condesending prick should be replied to and thats with ignorance.
The problem is this condesending prick is a mod in another forum and whenever we engage in posting back at each other he runs to the poker mods like the coward that he is and gets me banned .
In my opinion the poker mods Hyzepher and r3nu4l are showing favouritism to another mod and should be banned themselves for abusing their position and the prick that is koolkid should also be banned for constantly and purposely posting behind me just to get a reaction from me so he can run a tell tales to his little mod buddies and all have a little laugh .
If i am banned for being abusive then thats fine and i accept that as a rule of boards and i should know better . But i also expect fairness and what is happening here is far from it . If this is the way that Boards.ie let things run and let mods loose to do whatever they want then im not surprised people are moving to other forums.
So here DAMO admits his behaviour is wrong, admits what he was doing and accepts the ban.
Two things in his post upset me:
1. He got himself sitebanned for three days by continuing the abuse in his Heldesk post
2. He makes accusations that koolkid has been condescending to him but never once reported a post or provided any evidence of such. When he comes back I'll be asking him to do so and if he can present real evidence of koolkod breaking forum rules then I'll ban koolkid too.
Make no mistake people, I don't care if someone is a Mod or a regular user, if they break the rues and are remoreseless about it, I'll ban them.
So before you guys jump on the 'all mods are nazis' bandwagon perhaps you could check your facts in future and stop taking things at face value.
I don't normally entertain discussion of my modding but in this case I will simply because some people need to learn that when I moderate and ban someone, I have a reason for doing so and don't do it lightly. It's very unfair of you guys to come in with your accusatory replies when you don't even know the facts.0 -

Oh yeah, sorry, the posts have been deleted but Admins and Poker mods can see them but here's the quote from one of them.
Now he didn't get banned for that when imo, he should have, so that coupled with other posts here and his infraction was enough for a cumulative ban. There comes a time when you can't ignore a posters behaviour and DAMO was well past that. If he could reel it in a bit he'd be grand but I guess he likes to 'say it as he feels it'. A pity.DAMO72 wrote:Dont you just love it when people who think they are right all the time and always sound like condesending pricks are proved wrong and make themselves look like even bigger tosspots than they allready are.
Oh happy days .
Anyway, that's enough talk about this. I just wanted to highlight that just because you can't always immediately put your finger on the reason for a ban, doesn't mean that there is no reason and the mod is just wagon circling...
I've never been anything but fair to Poker users (ask Ste05) and I'd expect that they would treat me in the same manner tbh.
EDIT: I'm not going to quote the other post, it was less abusive but taking the p1ss all the same. 0 -

The first link you put up was for a comment that Damo made a month ago and he has allready served a 7 day ban for that .
Surely by using that you are clearly missguiding people into thinking your ban is justified. Thats an abuse of your own position and turns this into a witchhunt
The 2nd link you put up which was 1 of 2 that i couldn't link to but you have quoted one of them above ( Thank you for posting it) .
That quote was posted in the bbv thread and could be directed at anyone . But you choose to use it for your own reasons to justify your actions here and for a banning.
FWIW i have read back through the BBV and have found posts worthy of site bans but are still there. ????Confused to say the least.
More proof of a witchhunt in my opinion
You wont post the 3rd one . Why??? . If its abusive and is relevant to this banning then you shouldn't have any problem posting it .
Id say it is just a post taking the piss as you say and doesn't do anything to help your case at all .
So that takes us to the thread in question in the online section titled Shared Connection. .
From what i can see in that thread is that Damo gave an answer to the op and Koolkid questioned his answer and Damo and Phantom Lord tried to tell him otherwise , but Koolkid kept insisting they were both wrong. Koolkid also kept posting in a manner that he knew would get Damo to react to .
Now the only 2 posts that come into question as far as abuse goes is
post 14 which say's :
Straws , Grasping . Give it up will ya . Your just sounding sad now.
And post 19 which says: Its not a debate ya muppet . Your wrong and you cant take it .
I dont know , for a mod you really are a bit slow on the take . Never mind rainman you will get there eventually .
So the terrible abuse that caused a banning boils down to saying he was sad in one post and calling him a muppet in another . Well stone me if thats what is seen as abuse.
The only conclusion anyone could come to out of this is that it is infact a witchunt and that the mods and cmods have stuck by koolkid who posts in a manner that they like and approve of and is also a mod of another section.
The mods have gone out of their way to paint as bad a picture as they can by dragging up posts from a previous banning and a post from the bbv which could be directed at anyone not even involved in this place, they just choose to use it as it suits their needs and to make them look just in their actions.
The facts is that Damo and Koolkid has had history to which Damo got banned for and since then koolkid follows him around the forum and contradicts his posts in a manner that he knows will wind him up in order to draw him out and then goes running to the mods to report being abused in order to get Damo banned. I think the mods need to open their eyes here and see whats really going on .
On another point : Koolkid made remarks against Damo regarding the opening of bluff card club . Koolkid was asked to explain his remarks both on the thread and by pm which he never did . The mod dub13 was also pm'd about this matter on 2 occasions and chose to ignore it also . So this is more proof that there is favouritism being shown between mods.
The lot of you should take a good look around this forum and and try to figure out why so many good posters have left here .
To save you trying to figure it out just take a look in the mirror .0 -
Yeah...you didn't look at the Helpdesk thread did you? If you did you would know that it made everything you've just posted irrelevant. Damo admitted what he did was wrong. End of story really.
EDIT Oh and when Damo comes back he can report the relevant posts and they will be looked at with impartiality. I can promise you that.0 -
I did indeed read his help desk post . And i totally agree with it and commend him for speaking his mind and telling it how it is .Yeah...you didn't look at the Helpdesk thread did you? If you did you would know that it made everything you've just posted irrelevant. Damo admitted what he did was wrong. End of story really.
EDIT Oh and when Damo comes back he can report the relevant posts and they will be looked at with impartiality. I can promise you that.
But you fail to see that post was made after he was banned , and for what ??? realistically for calling someone sad and a muppet.
You have posted it here because some posters questioned why he was banned . Thats not why he was banned was it?? No it wasn't .
As i said you are using stuff like this to paint as bad a picture as you can to make other posters believe you are just in your banning when clearly you are not . If thats not abusing your position then this place is more corrupt than the banks.0 -
