    Hello, So i never made a post here or complain in general. But i feel as though i was unfairly given a warning in the politics cafe and noticed some other posters mentioning similar issues so i thought i would raise the issue here, Last night in politic's cafe (that place we were all told to use to talk about politics in a casual light hearted manner instead of after hours need i remind anyone) I posted in a thread about enda kenny and his black eye.

    I then within minuets received a warning from the mod Stheno for being un civil
    and that


    Moderator Note

    We require a slightly higher standard of posting here tbh

    Now if this was a topic about enda's politics or career or some sort of new policy i would say fair enough but this is clearly light hearted discussion about his black eye and my post in my eyes, is just a joke and not uncivil and not according to the pm i was sent

    Typically, this means that you are posting in a needlessly aggressive or confrontational manner being disruptive on the forum or causing stress for the other members. We don't want that here.

    So basically i am not happy with the warning and ban happy attitude i keep seeing in politics cafe, and in particular by this mod. Politics cafe is the place we were all specifically told to talk about politics in a light hearted manner to keep it out of after hours. I do not appreciate been giving warnings over such a obviously light hearted joke.

    And that is my issue thank you.

    Have you followed the Dispute Resolution process & discussed your card with the mod?

    I had yes, i discussed it with him in a private msg's disagreeing with his warning. It went no where so i felt i should make a complaint, warnings over light hearted comments in politics cafe seem way over the top to me.

    Thanks for your patience
    I am going to overturn this card as I don't believe it breaches anything or goes against the spirit of the cafe
    I'll get that going now.

    Thanks
