Inaction by mods in Current Affairs forum.

    Received a thread ban tonight despite fine gael supporting posters making worse comments about sinn Fein and other parties. I reported several comments of trolling and others of intentional derailing of threads and nothing. In the PM's Beasty said only one complaint in four days was visible. This is incorrect. Some of the posting by certain users is horrendous and I can't understand how it's tolerated. The only explanation is a bias by the mods. I can list out the pro FG users that seem to be immune from repercussions if you like.

    Okay, step it back a little. What infraction or ban are you actually contesting here?

    So far any politician that is not part of huff&puff you have an issue with, what are you talking about restoring some faith?


    He's a crony corrupt politician. No place for such a person in public service

    Take a look through that thread and the posts I reported by a poster Brendan. It seems like boards supports trolls and has no issue with posters derailing threads. No support for their posts and muck like this. He's a Brendan post from that thread that lead to my outburst:

    "Lookit, if you want to be taken seriously, or semi-seriously on here, you need to ditch that auld crap.

    Tryin’ to help you out, pal.

    C’ mon...."

    Just an update on the latest post from this poster that I have reported. Note I was not talking to this poster at the time.

    "Respectfully suggest you need a dose of reality, a chara

    You need to inform yourself, dude.

    Don’t expect someone else to wipe your ****.

    Thanking you."

    I can only assume that either this type of posting is now acceptable from some but not from others depending on the moderators own political leanings or that the person is a moderator with a second account.

    Hi Smurgen,

    I can look into this for you. Have you PM'd the moderator?

    The threadban can be appealed in HelpDesk.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
