soccer ban

tuxy

i was banned from soccer for what i thought was a week months ago
i would like back into the soccer forum if it was only a week ban
if not no problem
but i have no way of contacting the mods to find out as the two i tried do not reply to pm's

Big Ears

Maybe you shouldn't have got banned in the first place .

DeVore

Gandie is on hols at the moment. I'll try and reach the other mods and see. You might try posting a *polite* message on the access request forum pointing out that you have tried PM's and link to my post here saying you should try the access request forum.

DeV.

tuxy

Rather unlikely seeing as you must be a member of boards for a month before being able to post in the soccer forum.

Miles

Foiled before me evil teasing could take effect.:D

Miles

You know when even the mods are being banned from a soccer forum it must be good.

im only a hosted mod
just a lowly grunt not even worthy of licking the other mods boots

Miles

Still, that's my kind of forum. I'm gonna go lurk.

tuxy

its a private forum
are you requesting access?

Miles

tuxy

oh right , should i remove your slydice access?

Miles

?

No thanks, I'll just go through the normal channels.

I can browse the soccer forum I just cannot seem to post. I am still new here. I thought you were saying you would give me access to post there.

Other than that I do not need anything else.

tuxy

i was talking about the slydice forum

Miles

Oh I see. Sorry, no I would like to be able to go in there. Please don't remove access.

talla

tuxy, I've restored your access to the soccer forum, let me know if you have any problems.

d22ontour

my soccer access request disappeared is there a time limit on them or would it be because i was put on notice for thread spoiling

No your request is still there. Your probably using the default month view. Your request is here however no one has sponsored you.

d22ontour

ok thanks

d22ontour im feeling generous i will sponsor you dont let me down

Ardent

I have a question if I may:

I've sponsored a couple of people for the soccer forum. What happens if they start acting the maggot? Do I get banned from the forum myself?

Edit: Never mind, I read the charter. Yipes!

The Rooster

Ardent, I hope you didnt sponsor BolBill!

Banned for life (second misdemanour) for saying the Paul Scholes (ginger haried soccer player) has ginger hair! The bashtad!

Its right tough in there

pickarooney

And quite rightly too, the titian wizard would be most impressed with this defense of his russetness.

Yeah apparently ginger is a racist taunt these days. Do you I had a pint of Guinness last night, do you know what colour it was ? Well I can't say cause its not PC !!!!!!


Banned for life for saying Scholsey was a ginger in a complete jokingly manner, tough in there!!!!!!!, an understatement mate.

I think my first ban was for something trivial as well.

In fairness, you got access to the forum on the first of December, and were already banned once.

Now, myself and others, have had access since the forum became sponsorship based back in April, and many have not been banned, ever.

You have obviously rubbed the wrong people (Mods) up the wrong way in your month and a half tenure of posting in Soccer.

The point I'm trying to make is that they are so easily rubbed up the wrong way - its ridiculous, I mean they can't accept a big of banter, I think its kinda sad. Still it probably makes them feel important in the world - see more banter.......

mayordenis

yeah i think it really is a joke and more than this i think the mods shouldnt be mods at all i think they have little to no input into the forum themselves and when someone posts something as underegotary as calling somebody ginger they ban people, it like if me taking offence if someone came up and said to be "hey, your hair is brown" its a complete crock and really is actually making talla out to be very . . i wont say what im thinking

kida

I think it was for the word that was after implied Ginger that got talla going. ('cause he's a ginger ????) I first read that as Ginger C***.

The Rooster

He said

"maybe it was because he is a ginger ????"

Any sensible person would read that as a question - hence the question marks. The reason for multiple question marks is because its obviously a joke.

There was no C included - and to infer it is the "C word" is ridiculous. A complete nonsense, just like the banning. Anybody who posts to cover up a swear word would use asteriks or multiple different symbols - not question marks.

If that is the case why post " Because he is a ginger." and not just " because he is ginger". Only Bolbill knows what he really intended but when I first read the post I did think thet he was saying Ginger C***.

Nothing personal against Bolbill but under the Charter for the soccer forum that merits a ban.

Soccer Board Charter

The Soccer Board is now a restricted access board. Your access here is a privilege and can be withdrawn if you do not adhere to the rules.

• Outbursts of personal abuse/racism etc, be it directed at other board members or at Sports people will not be tolerated. ...................................

Muppet, calling someone "a ginger" is not personal abuse. In fact its abusive to red-haired people to say it is a derogatory term!

He did not say "C***". Only a very small minority of ManU fans read it as such - and they obvioulsy have vivid imaginations. He didnt even say "****". It was a jokey question ("????") - simple as that. Unfortunate for Bolbill that he used 4 and not 3 or 5 question marks as it left the door open for some people to pretend that he meant it as abusive foul language.

I used the ???? as question marks in a jokingly manner, I'm not really the kind of guy that uses the C word, in fact, I reckon I've never used it in here.

My best mate has red hair and I don't slag him over it at all, in fact calling someone a ginger is hardly an insult at all.

Still it looks like it ain't gonna get me back in at this stage. Thanks for everyones support though, I thought I was a bit hard done by thats all.

pickarooney

When used with a definite or indefinite article (a ginger, the ginger), the noun "ginger" is pronounced with a hard initial G and to rhyme with "singer" (or minger).
I thought everyone knew that...

The Rooster

maybe everyone except the muppet

I think you were suggesting that a certain set of events were happening to the player because "he is a ginger" to paraphrase. I don't see it as much of an offence myself but certainly I can see how it could be seen as discriminatory.

Sure of course its not insulting, but to call it racist !!! I mean we've all know what those burning white crosses are in south Georgia, that where they ran a clan of redheads out of town. !!!!!!!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Its not the word ginger that got Bollbill his ban but the 4 question marks after it. He has as much as admiited his meaning in his post above.

I was not the least bit offended by the remark and I have noting personal against Bolbill but under the new charter that type of comment is no longer allowed on the soccer forum so the ban was merited.

Your obviously a genius at working out what people mean - even though it was nothing like what they said and they had no intention of it coming across as meaning that.

My missus has that same skill

LizardKing

I got a one week ban for saying " Manu Scum " , which was nice

Its not a rascist (perhaps a little derogatory) term ... its like saying liverpool scouse or newcastle geordie or evertonian toffee .... unfortunately it must have pi$$ed off some of the mancs soccer forum members as they complained and I got a week ban ...

that'll teach me ...

talla

Ok Bolbill, I'm going to accept that there was no intent behind the question marks and lift the ban. Just be more careful next time with the replies.
