    Yes.

    I got the distinct impression from that thread in prison that he's not banned and that him and ecksor are the best of buddies...

    Its a pity.He was great in the mobiles section.He unlocked/fixed phones for free,

    Why was he banned?Its not very clear on the thread only threatening??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,842 ✭✭✭steveland?


    Trading it seems


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,811 ✭✭✭✭billy the squid


    banned for trading, threatening to break someones knees, creating an alternative account to circumvent a ban, by the looks of it.

    He prob wants you to setup a thread so people will say how "great" he is. It clearly states no trading allowed if people cant read the rules there its there out though luck.

    I say alot of people. But being honest i think lot of people found him helpful in some cases, so might not want him to get in more trouble?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    Come on lads, seriously, if what has been claimed about this guy is true, he's lucky it hasn't been reported to the gardi. Treantening to knee cap/break legs, of someone is a criminal offense and when it's in connection to protection business interests its all hte more serious. The guy is low life.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,284 ✭✭✭pwd


    Why did he threaten to break someone's legs [online]? Was it because they were a competitor for business? Was it a realistic threat, by which I mean did he know who this person was and how to find them, or was it a typical dumb example of "internet-rage"?

    The links to hios company should be deleted I think.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    I have a report from a user that you threatened to break his legs after he pointed out that you were trading on the FS forums, which is against the rules.

    Considering that you were signing up accounts at that point to give him abuse and the usernames were basically threats in themselves, any denial of that does not seem plausible. You claim you love boards.ie

    This is what ecksor wrote on the prison thread. ability to carry out a threat is besides the point.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 113 ✭✭gulp


    he has done lots of things for free for other ppl here on boards and i think he is an asset to the place

    An Asset?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,133 ✭✭✭Barrie


    Id say he means hes helped greatly in the forums you know.

    I noticed he said this
    GoneShootin had a Nokia 3510i for sale here for €5, I pm'd him asap and told him if he wanted he could post it up to me and I could try a fix it for him,
    which goes with what you're saying about helping people.

    But then he said, in the same sentence, this
    , if I couldn't fix it I told him I don't charge

    I tend to define 'help' by describing it as an act that deserves no payment. This is debatable as a general argument but I think in a country that has a large amount of mobile phone repair companies what random task offered as help should really be defined as a "service".

    Bought a phone from the above name Madhatter,bought it for a mate which i forked out my own money to get it for him,phone was a right off.Took him for face value didnt really check phone out but when i got home the screen looked like it was on its last legs to name a few which was wrong with it.Also just noticed "Our_Mobiles@msn" this was on the phone as a greeting when it started up.This was another of his websites i think.

    After i got phone he was banned and i tried to get his number again(which i deleted)it was an 085 something.I asked a mod why he was banned and a few boards members,they all said he was dodgy as Fcuk!.

    I think it's an Internet law that people who complain about grammar can't spell the word.

    Then someone else follows up pointing this out.

    Then someone else follows up pointing out that that doesn't have anything to do with their grammar, it's their spelling and therefore there's no hypocrisy but then the reply is along the lines that well it's the general principle of the thing that the person was so critical when they're not perfect themselves and so on and so forth.

    I just thought I'd nip that one in the bud.

    well lads to be honest. Randon_Task seems to be very well thought of across boards and I would like to point out that the message that he sent about breaking someones legs could have been altered in many ways so give him a chance!!!!!

    The body of a child with the eyes of an old man.

    Such cynicism in one so young, and with such a low post count.

    In other news just checkec prison, and the pettiness of him deleting other posts of his thread kind of reminds you Lear. When he's all crazy, desperately clinging onto the last vestige of imaged power. It's really kind of sweet.

    I'd forgotten about this one. I suppose he'll deny this was him too: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=153048

    @RandomTask. looking through the prison forum and you said i was a trader. Never one traded in my live i sell things like everyone else does on boards. monthly clearout. So dont go there Just face the facts your banned get over it and move on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    To be honest hes a great guy. I seriously doubt he was going to break someones kneecaps.

    Dont tell me youve NEVER said anything bad in a fit of anger. I have. Doesnt mean I mean it.

    He helped out quite a bit on the board and I think it would be fair to say he never scammed anyone with the phones he sold under the name random task.

    Dont think he should be banned.

    So what exactly do you think is a banable offense, actually breaking someone's legs? No one gives a bollix if he's a nice chap, he comes accross as a thug.

    Btw the continued harassment of Irish1 was not in the heat of the moment.

    Would have to agree there

    Well sorry I did not know that, I was only basing my opinon on that he was banned for that particular statement which is what someone suggested.

    Anyway, its all up to the moderators, what can anyone else do anyway but give their opinion


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    Is that not enough. I'll spell it out to you, if i walked up to you, in a fit or anger or otherwise, and threatened to smash your face in, or break your legs, you would be well within your rights to go down to your local garda station and reports me. Hey I might not get charged with anything, but certainly get a warning. Now just because it's on the internet, this guy should be forgiven and let off because you say he's a nice guy?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    Now just because it's on the internet

    Thats exactly it. It IS the internet. He cant reach down the phone line and break your teeth. If someone threatened to smash my face in in front of me, Id have a fair inclination to go down the the station.

    If someone says it to me on boards.ie or any other web based chat - this is what i say - :rolleyes:

    Anyway, I dont want to get into an argument over this, its hardly worth it. The mods did their job as they saw fit - end of topic.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    If your lucky Tom might tell you about all the people that thought what they posted on boards was "Just on the internet", only to have it come back and btye them in the ass.

    I'm not going to argue the praticallity of breaking the legs of someone you've never met. Cause frankly if someone really wanted to track you down they can. Most threats are issued without intents or ability the carry out the threats, they are there to intimidate people, and that is something the society has deemed un acceptable and so has boards.

    I don't think saying something over the net has the same effect as saying it in person. Lots of remarks/insults are made on the net that are throwaway or that people wouldn't actually say if they were face to face with the other person.

    He deserves the ban for the abuse and ripping people off but I wouldn't be too worried about the 'threat'.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    Lot's of people insult and rip other people off over the internet, but they wouldn't do it to somebodies face either.

    Ah, but you don't just get to plead schizophrenia because you've come back as a different name. Even if he had turned over a new leaf, the guy is in the business of selling mobile phones. Such individuals are not wanted on the FS Mobiles forum. Also, he has admitted that he uses the forums to solicit business (although he calls this "helping"), so he doesn't have a lot of plausibility for claiming that he's only selling phones "personally".
