    hello
    i was banned for trolling by ancapailldorcha for trolling
    i have asked him why and he said he is upholding the ban

    I wish to appeal.

    I received an explanation for the ban, trolling and given examples of.
    while i agree the mod in question and all the posters on the particular thread would disagree with my posts. my posts are not trolling.

    his reply is below:

    there is nothing wrong with those posts. they are just simple facts.
    I am not here to justify facts to anyone.

    If you turn my appeal then push it up to chain all the way to
    privacy@thejournal.ie if neccessary.
    I already have a formal complaint against this mod - ancapailldorcha - regards a previous ban which is being investigated by boards senior management.

    Lets get this sorted ASAP.


    Hi,

    Posts like these add nothing to the debate:

    Quote:
    should get the same treatment as hillary.
    delete all files, get FBI to bail you out, appear at hearings where nothing happens.
    Quote:
    obama said change is coming. he lied. Trump said he will fight for the poor of america regardless of colour and he is.
    When Trump is finished in 2024 he will be revered as a giant for equality and basic human rights, he will be more revered than martin luther king.
    Here you've just lazily pasted a Wikipedia link:

    Quote:
    i have attached a link that comnpletley debunks everything you believe to be true about climate change

    some truly big names of science on that list.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...global_warming

    I do not want to derail this thread so i will get back to trump.
    I am upholding the ban. Posters are supposed to make original contributions to the forum. You have made grand statements like comparing Trump to Martin Luther King which I consider trolling as well as just pasting links to make your point for you, neither of which is acceptable here.

    I am upholding the ban.

    Pastor Crowe, while I have PM'd this info to you already in more detail I feel it is good practice for other readers looking at the thread for me to point out that privacy@thejournal.ie is for GDPR issues only and no one there will deal with a forum ban (or any other site issues that are not privacy or GDPR-related).

    We have received your complaint but there is no investigation underway by senior Boards management as you mentioned above. As far as we are concerned the query you had about your previous ban has been addressed fully by email.

    Please proceed with the Dispute process. Thank you.

    I will alert the CMods to this thread.

    I am not sure you know how this works.
    But I received a 3 week ban and over a week has elapsed and things are moving very slowly
    When you will agree with me that the ban was completely partisan and biased
    Or is it true what they say boards mods. Worse then the kgb.

    Your appeal commenced with a statement that you had made a complaint about the mod. Your appeal could not continue until the office had dealt with that complaint. As soon as that was sorted, and you had confirmed you had attempted to resolve this directly with the mod hullaballoo returned to this thread to indicate the appeal could continue. That was 2 days ago

    However given your above comment I am going to step in here and ask the CMods not to progress this appeal until you withdraw that comment

    1. It is 7 days since my complaint was thrown out because according to a boards employee they do not handle complaints. A complaint gainst a mod is handled by other mods. I have to accept that and move on. turkeys dont vote for Christmas and all that

    2. i made the comment about the kgb to ensure someone would interact with me. did not take you long. i withdraw the comment and now please proceed to deal with my appeal immediately. It aint rocket science, uphold/overturn.

    Very well, if you are demanding immediate service I will look at this as an Admin. There will be no further appeal against my decision though

    I will agree on the premise you provide
    precise clear evidence for your decision
    The mod who banned me did not Back up their decision with evidence
    They just banned me for trolling because they did not agree with my posts
    If you go trough that thread most posts are backed up by no evidence or left leaning propaganda like CNN
    These posts are never carded and those posters are never carded and when you report a post for bullying or abuse the post magically disappears, strange that.

    All I ask for is honest ,integrity and impartiality from you in your decision
    Come at with clean hands and I will abide by your decision


  • Administrators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 78,393 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Beasty


    You do not make any conditions

    I have decided, based on your behaviour in this thread, that I will deal with your appeal

    If you want to impose any conditions the appeal will conclude and the ban will be upheld

    Whatever conditions you think I can impose in this interaction I have removed

    My behaviour? Can you elaborate

    Please remember you have all the power in this interaction and so should be mindful to show some respect to me Those who have no power

    Firstly I am sure you are well aware of the standards of debate expected in the Politics forum. Indeed your prior history in the forum with this account and your previous one is littered with examples where you were informed your posting was not up to standard.

    You received your 5th sanction of the year in the forum (across the 2 accounts) on 21 July. That was a one week ban for "one liner/petty name calling/trolling"

    As soon as your ban was up you returned to the Donald Trump thread with this:
    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/papadopoulos-heads-to-greece-to-retrieve-10k-in-safe-as-senate-investigators-request-bills


    It’s all coming together did trump. Mueller was a complete disaster for the dems
    I expect Barr to actually blow the Democrats away with his findings into how this all started.
    The dems are running scared. They know this is another example of Obama and the dems using the arms of the state to go after private individuals.
    It’s over, trump has won

    That post clearly failed to ignite things in a way you may have wished, so 2 days later you posted this
    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/green-new-deal-swing-state-households-would-lose-70g-first-year

    The Democrats have zero chance if they continue to endorse psychotic ideas like this.
    By the time the next election come the Democrats will have eaten itself.
    The Democrats loony left talk too much
    Pelosi needs to get control of them now or the dems will lose big.

    "psychotic ideas like this" "The Democrats loony left". Not exactly "quality commentary" and certainly neither post is up to the standard of debate expected in the Politics forum

    This time some posters did take the bait. One of your follow-up posts (now deleted) was
    i have attached a link that comnpletley debunks everything you believe to be true about climate change


    some truly big names of science on that list.



    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientists_who_disagree_with_the_scientific_consensus_on_global_warming


    I do not want to derail this thread so i will get back to trump.

    Did you even read that Wiki page, as it does nothing that you claim. It indicates that less than 2% of scientists with a view disagree with the scientific consensus you say it debunks. Not only that but a significant number of those who do not agree are of the view the projections could be wrong either way. Indeed the list of scientists itself is short of climate specialists, but still you make an outlandish claim that this supports your own "view"

    I say your "view" but I'm not sure that is necessarily the case. It comes across as trolling, pure and simple

    I could go on, but I will leave it there as I have already laid out sufficient to support this sanction

    Given your overall record in the forum during the course of this year alone you are lucky it is only 3 weeks.If I were a mod of the forum I would be threatening you with a permanent ban if this sort of behaviour continues

    Ban upheld
