    People could effectively be shunned by society for going against the status quo just merely by 'banning' them from taking part in much the same way Boards.ie just arbitrarily dishes out bannings. That is why Boards.ie sets such a bad example, it is fine now when it is not serious, our society yet isn't focused virutually but in time it sets a very very worrying precedent.

    I'll read a proclamation outside the virtual GPO and then get busy shooting mods. Who's with me?

    Thread closed (the OP is not banned from AH)

    After Hours is not a virtual punching bag for taking out your frustration on what happens elsewhere on boards.

    OP - contact the mods of the other forum to see if you can resolve. There is also the Feedback and Dispute Resolution Forums available to you to discuss or dispute.
