[Resolved] Banned after being bullied

Kermit.de.frog

Hi,

I was being relentlessly bullied in the CA forum.

I kept my cool throughout except once and only then it was basically an appeal to the mods to do something to stop it.

@Necro then banned me for a month (he banned the victim of bullying for a month)

The exchange with said moderator

Either bullying is acceptable on Boards or it is not. Maybe the mods join in? Maybe it's not good enough to be bullied on the forum but after by a mod as well.

I'd like an answer as to why a victim of forum bullying is banned from that forum by this mod?

Also because it's a state secret I don't get to know of sanction for the perpetrator (didn't happen) according to @Necro but no doubt my banning gets announced all over the thread.

There needs to be some basic common sense applied.

Ask @Leg End Reject . He knows I have been bullied on that forum. He told me to report it 😡

Are you attempting to dispute the ban, which isn't possible under the CA rules, or just make a more general complaint?

What do mean it isn't possible under CA rules?

@Necro banned me after I was bullied by another poster and I want something done about that. Our conversation is there in the OP.

I have asked other moderators to be more aware of bullying on the forum. Are you saying that I have been bullied and I can do nothing about it?

I want my ban removed as that is fair.

It should not have happened in the first place.

There is no appealing of CA bans until the 6 months level:

OK, you've deleted supportive posts.

So what you are saying is that Boards endorses bullying and you don't want to do anything about that?

And the mods there can behave however they like?

I want to escalate this further because this unacceptable.

Can you.point me to where I can escalate this?

Do you understand the seriousness of this for Boards?

All I'm looking for is common sense and fairness and you're denying me that. A long time victim of bullying on this forum, nothing done. Oh the victim gets banned. That's what's been done.

This is appalling. It really is.

No, I've deleted the posts of those breaking the rules of DRP by attempting to interfere.

You were already asked if you want to make a more general complaint at the very start instead of disputing the specific ban.

You can still make a more general complaint about the handling of CA in Helpdesk if you wish.

Can you tell me what Boards policy is on bullying please? What's written down and what are you doing to tackle it?

As far as I'm concerned this is not acceptable.

I'm a victim and I feel I'm a victim here again by those that are suppose to protect posters.

You either endorse bullying or you don't.

This isn't school. There isn't a written anti-bullying policy. There are site rules and forum charters.

You are not being bullied by mods upholding the rules of the forum. You started off being aggressive in your reply to the moderator. The moderator explained your warning.

If you have a problem with a post or poster report it and let the moderators deal with it.

There is no appeal, and I see no evidence of bullying in the above exchange.
