And in actual truth, you threadspoiled, made ridiculous statements and failed to answer my question either, so you were rightfully banned.

Anyone feel free to read the thread, in for sale section, under dvds for sale by me.

The mods on here are always on power trips. It's most likely because most of them are geeks in the real world, and this is the only place they have power - so the anger from years of being bullied at school and slagged off seems to surface here in their little kingdom of power. Sometimes they even ban you for having a different opinion than them.
Hell - if this post hits home a little too much, I might even get banned for upsetting them! Check my account status after you read this.

I was wondering when you were going to get banned. You were warned and you obviously didn't care. I don't know why you're complaining now.

I don't understand all the FIGHT THE POWA posts.

If you don't like this place or how it's run, stop posting here and go somewhere else. It's a FREE service but it costs time and money to run, you think, you know, you might say "thanks" once in a while instead of dribbling whiney rants onto your keyboard.

Papschmir

I had teachers that were a lot more fun than some of the moderators. As far as i can see they all need a sense of humour injection. A site like boards can only remain intersting if there is very light regulation.
Having read a lot of what moderators say and then compiling a quick personality analysis, they seem exactly the type of people who will rabbit on about "free press" and the "evil Rupert Murdoch".The "power",if you can call it such, that the moderators have has the potential to ruin boards.ie.

It can only remain open if there is regulation. It's a very fine line - but if you don't find it interesting I'm sure the admins won't lose sleep if you don't come back.

Co-operation is the key. If we as users behave well then the mods don't have to "abuse their [supposed] power"*

Note: I think mods should be a lot more free with the banning stick than they are

Who exactly is going to close the site down? And why exactly would they?

e.g. The original thread concerned a ban for saying someones dvd's were rubbish.

Your on this site so you just insulted yourself...now who's the retard?

I call for this muppet to be banned from feedback or even boards as a whole.

Papschmir wrote:

Well from a legal point of view, if boards gets sued, and loses, its boned. Simple as that. If it gets sued, it's close to boned anyway, as it can't really afford to defend itself. So that's how the site can be closed down. Selling illegal stuff on the for sale boards would consitute this. That's one reason why they're so heavily moderated.

A second reason was because long, long ago, they were becoming less than useful. Every time someone posted up an offer, some muppet would come along and say "That's ****, this one is better" or, "I can get that mobile for €2.50 from this obscure and inaccessible shop in Tibet due to a corporate deal that only I can avail of, so why should I pay €250 to get it from you?". So now they're heavily moderated. Only those interested in actually selling or buying post, and anyone who's just being an unhelpful pratt gets banned.

If someone was trying to sell his car, and you came up while he was in his driveway talking to a potential buyer, and told him how **** his car was and how X car was better and cheaper, you'd get a kick in the nuts.

If you think that is a marvellous suggestion, go visit a few other high-volume boards that are either not regulated or loosely regulated to the point of being 'token gesture' and try have a decent discussion on them and watch what happens.

It's not pretty.

Boards.ie is the way that it is for a few reasons. The above is, afaik, one of them. As someone has mentioned before, if you're not happy, vote with your feet (digital or otherwise) and go somewhere that does fit with your needs and expectations. Or better yet, create one!

That may appear to be the case given the demographics of Boards.ie, where some moderators are technically old enough to be your father. Or at least old enough to have fùcked your mother. That is, if I hadn’t needed the change for a parking metre at the time.

How’s that for a humour injection?

That doesn't warrant a sitewide ban. Particularly when the insult is apt.
