    2 reds, 3 yellows since 2007.

    One red in the rugby forum for talking about Zebo in the ireland forum.

    One red in the commuting and transport Forum for calling an ass hole out on his actions.

    Two yellows in the Christianity forum because, well, they're a unique and special bunch over there...

    And the earliest yellow back in 2015 in the rugby Forum for calling out BS.

    Any sniff of Zebo returning to the international fold and the cards start flying. The cycling forum is perhaps the most joyless corner of boards, paradise for overzealous mods and frustrated mamils rendered impotent by the saddle. Thankfully AH hasn't suffered the same fate, despite murmurs of discontent over the Soviet purge of 2020.

    loads of warnings from moderators who are probably shallow people in real life but have an elevated sense of importance on an online message board like this.

    I love those arguments from the type of user who’s here a wet weekend and yet goes on about the power tripping mods.

    Most people on this site get along just fine, with one or two mod actions every once in a while, but to the other type of poster it’s always the power tripping mods who are to blame, along with their sheeple.

    3 yellows, 1 red here

    Yellows were for what I considered 2 jokey comments and 1 “you really are too thick to breath” type
    Red was for a bit of overreaction but still deserved. Last one was 2017

    I think you'll find most of these users are not only here a wet weekend but may be re-regs. I won't point at anyone specifically as that would be a card offence :D

    Linked porn, got a ban. Hungover on a sunday morning.

    Yellow for calling the french after a slimey amphibian, in the rugby forum.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,614 ✭✭✭Feisar


    A yellow and a red. The yellow I felt was unfair however the red while I believed a valid point, broke the forums charter so fair enough.

    First they came for the socialists...

    I found the cycling forum to be filled with a smarmy type.

    It says I have 3 yellows and 2 reds but that can't be right. Obviously every single one of them was a mistake

    10 yellow and 5 reds
    mostly in the politics forum in 2018, around the time of the Margaret Cash and abortion megathreads.
    I got a permaban from there, overturned last year on the promise of good behavior and I havent seen any since (except an overly zealous yellow in C&T)

    A great site, 99% of the mod team are sound, I've met a few of them at meets etc but theres a few bad apples too.
    My work day and personal schedule during it wouldnt be the same without boards.ie!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,116 ✭✭✭✭RasTa


    Yeah more like 23 yellows and 3 or 4 reds. Mainly for calling people idiots which I strongly believe people to be true in society so every single card was unjust


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    Few yellows but nothing major, can't for the life of me understand the people who go through a whole dispute resolution process to overturn a digital yellow card. Dispute resolution forum is hilariously cringey

    One has to make them work, see they got their decision wrong.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,965 ✭✭✭✭bnt


    IIRC I got one yellow for not following one forum’s extremely specific and arbitrary rules, at which point I decided that said forum was causing me stress I did not need in my life. I ended up backing away from the whole topic altogether, offline as well as online.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    I have two red cards to my name. Both were handed out by a moderator named whoopsadaisydoodles, who I sometimes felt disliked me. Both are from the early part of my time on this godforsaken site.

    I also received a large amount of abuse via the personal messaging system. Even the odd death threat. Also quite a few messages from female posters asking to meet up the next time I was in Ireland.

    I very much doubt I will receive another card or ban. I rarely post these days, and I also feel I've reached a sort of Elder Statesman status around here. Even a Spiritual Leader in some regards. The great unwashed flocks looking up to me for guidance and wisdom.

    On this account, no infractions. But have a few reds and yellow cards on older accounts and I don't think they go away! :) So if I act the maggot, I think they can see that I have been infracted before, if they were so inclined to look. Not many infractions, mind. Maybe three or four across accounts? No bans ever though. I think.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,045 ✭✭✭✭neris


    3 yellows and a red


  • Posts: 21,679 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I have no cards at all. I've flown close to the line a few times but my natural tendency for diplomacy keeps the cards away. I've already insulted about ten posters today, everything from "shut your cake hole you melt" to "fùck off nobody cares". I've managed to keep it to myself though. For now.

    Bloody hell. Why?

    This is my first and only account.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,579 ✭✭✭charlietheminxx


    No cards, no sanctions - been a member for 12 years.

    I think I've had a couple of bolded on-thread warnings in my earlier years, but nothing substantial.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,745 ✭✭✭✭Charlie19


    7 yellows and all in the soccer forum, so pretty boring really.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,997 ✭✭✭The Crazy Cat Lady


    just a warning, no cards/bans :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,521 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how


    5 Yellows.
    3 Reversed.

    Think by and large most people who serve as Mod's deserve credit because it is largely a thankless task which if someone wasn't doing it, the site would be only a fraction as engaging as it is.
    Some of them, because they are human, allow their subjectivity influence their mod activities but they are doing so under a mircoscope and I can only remember one case where serious action was taken on a mod who was abusing their position.
