    I got a red in 2009 because I made fun of god in a thread I thought was in AH. Turns out it was in the Christianity forum, so I deserved that. Then there was a decade long gap before 2 yellows and a red in 2019. This year I've only had a bunch of ****posts deleted on the politics forum. Politics mod should probably be a paid position.

    A few cards, a few bannings. A perma ban from the motors forum because one prick said I'd given him a box one morning. In fairness he was slagging off my son who'd sold him a car, but I didn't give the prick a box, and even if I did (which I didn't :) ) it wasn't anyone's business here anyway.

    I find the older I get the wiser I get and I just don't rise to internet arguments like I used to so I'm an innocent man in the last few years.

    Where can you find out?

    Scratch that. I see now.

    6 red
    7 yellow
    A one month site ban
    A 3 month site ban.

    There are a few threads I'm not allowed post in anymore I think. I know a Gemma o Doherty thread is one. Don't know the others. Can't remember.

    Next ban is going to be permanent I'd say.

    Had a few bans, red card's, yellow cards etc

    It all depends on the mods and their ability to not personalise your post's, takes a while to figure out how to be as cunning as the perpetually offended...

    Say if you're debating with a stridently awkward self proclaimed male fenminst who really is calling himself a fenminst because he's an incel and will never get laid, but maybe some day a hot liberal will feel sorry for him, and that's his glimmer of hope.

    Well debating the type I described above can be tricky to manoeuvre around, because I have to try to get my point across in a way they're not going to get TRIGGERED and then with their multiple accounts start to report me.

    So I tend to steer clear of social justice warriors and their ilk, as they will usually try to destroy your credibility and integrity by doing your thinking for you...

    Over all I'm doing ok recently without being infracted...I'm here since around 2009 so it's about time I behave myself.

    Nearly every card I've received was from the same touchy mod in the GAA forum. Obviously wasn't happy when I disagreed with a post they made once and has yellow and red carded me multiple times since. Never seem to have a problem with any other mod bar this one. The odd soft warning but thats it.

    Very true. I have tried to contribute to the Rugby forum on a couple of occasions and received outright bans in seconds. Very cliquey.

    A lot of mods will give you beatings if they disagree with your tone or argument, it can often depend on how close you are sailing to their wind. I have given up arguing though, if a mod does not like what you said you are going down until you shut up. Speech is not as free as you think.

    I think if you can limit your posts to areas which you genuinely love and care about you can really limit your beatings. It is getting into snipes on political forums that cause the most crap. I post all the time on music forums and never any hassle. But if I say that the Irish out half is a bit of a chunt I get a ban.

    You can always tell if a post has been reported as well. The mod will not know why they are dishing out the beating. They will have been prompted, some of them are real numbskulls.

    The Rugby forum is the worst for it...any negative remark about a player(even when evidence is provided to support remark) you get carded or banned

    Two yellows. One was for referring to breastfeeding Nazism. Didn't call anyone anything, just used the term. Breastfeeding isn't an option for everyone so bashing people about it isn't nice. You may not discuss options for formula though as that apparently is an offence against the orthodoxy.

    The other was for "baiting other users to get a reaction". I thought I was being friendly.

    On touch site: click on your profile. Scroll down and click on “full site”. Where you see the “about me” folders etc, there will be one there that says infractions. They are only visible to each user. We can’t see other users infraction folders but moderators can

    You also cannot see bans from the Control Panel

    In - nil
    Out - 1,879 cards, 258 forum bans (in forums I currently mod, plus a few from when I modded Cycling and Dublin County North), and just shy of 5k sitebans

    Only 15 posters in this thread received any of them though

    18 yellow card, 10 red cards, 1 temp site ban.

    Also still banned from Cycling and possibly also Christianity.

    The site ban was due in part to a poster that had Pig in their name.

    I only got a 24 hour ban once but I actually appealed that because it was a misunderstanding and in fairness within the hour, I was back in.
