[Resolved] 1 day ban from Radio forum for "trolling"

Hi team!

I respectfully appeal the warning issued by Leg End Reject regarding my post in the Ryan Tubridy thread. I believe the warning was unwarranted for the following reasons:

1. Lack of Intent to Troll: My post aimed to contribute to the ongoing discussion in the thread by offering a perspective on the tone and content of some comments. My intention was to address the general negativity and conspiracy-like discussions within the thread, not to troll or disrupt.
2. Clarification on "Discussing Other Posters": While my comment referenced "haters who spend half their day maligning the man," this was a critique of the overall tone and conduct of the thread, not a specific individual. It is common in forum discussions to reference the collective behavior of a thread without targeting specific participants.
3. Context of the Thread: The Ryan Tubridy thread has become a polarised space where dissenting views or balanced commentary are often labeled as trolling. My comment was an attempt to challenge this prevailing negativity, and it seems this was misinterpreted as an attack on others.
4. Contribution to Discussion: The point raised about the so-called "AI photo" and the exaggerated claims against Ryan Tubridy was relevant and intended to steer the conversation toward a more constructive tone. Disagreeing with prevailing opinions should not be equated with trolling.

I understand and respect the need for moderation to ensure healthy discussions, but I believe this warning—and the subsequent forum ban—were disproportionate given the intent and content of my post. I ask that you reconsider the warning, as my aim was to engage in a broader discussion about the dynamics of the thread, not to attack or provoke any individual or group.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Kind regards,
Sorcha Dhuisigh
