Banned for 2 weeks for typing "right ok"

ExMachina1000

Banned for trolling.

Complete joke. Mod is looking for any excuse to ban me.

Is "right ok" trolling? Is it worthy of a ban?

Beasty

Have you attempted to resolve this directly with the mod via PM?

Yes. He has said I have had numerous infractions and the ban is justified

I have had numerous infractions. I'm not disputing that.

Right ok is hardly trolling? Its hardly justifies a two week ban?

Beasty

Thanks

I've dropped a note to the CMods

I'll look at this for you. Can you forward me on the PM exchange between you and the moderator, or post it here for me.

Thanks,

Right ok means I don't care if you are paying x for y.

No sniping no trolling.

A ban? A joke

You're adding nothing to the thread. I've tried warning you but it's had no effect so now the ban is being increased

Big Bag of Chips

Thanks,
I'll look into this the evening.

Did you get your chips?

Sorry I haven't been back to this. I've had a busy week. I will get to it this evening and will have an answer.

Hi ExMachina1000 I have spent a bit of time going through relevant threads and posts. I think to claim you were - banned for 2 weeks for typing "right ok" - is simplifying matters a bit.

I understand you have a contrary opinion to many on the thread, and that in itself isn't an issue. Contrary voices and opinions are required for healthy debate. The issue comes when you post an opposing view, drop it in to a thread and then don't argue your point. Don't back it up with evidence or reasons. That can come across as trolling and offering a contrary opinion, just to be contrary!

You've been given numerous warnings over a short period of time but your posting style has remained the same. In this instance, I'm going to let the 2 week Politics ban stay in place. And hope when you come back to the forum that you find a way to flesh your arguments out and offer something constructive to the forum. A contrary view, expressed well, can stimulate healthy debate.

Are you OK with this decision, or would you like to request an administrator to look at it?
