    I don't think it's an infiltration by right wing bots, more a suspicion that there is a tendency of certain people reregging a lot.

    Yes, why wouldn't I? Nothing to do with propelling a conspiracy.

    I got carded in the soccer forum last week on the arsenal thread for calling a player arsenal were playing against a name. He fouled and injured arsenal players all game and didn’t attempt to play football at all, in the last two minutes he cynically kneed one of the arsenal players in the back. It was a form of martial arts he was at.

    I called him a “donkey”.

    Carded and reprimanded by a mod.

    I mean, why do I bother?

    There’s no point in arguing context with a mod. Yet I’ve seen FAR FAR FAR worse multiple times since.

    Absolute waste of time.

    I got a ticket for parking in the wrong spot once...

    What's your point?

    The mods are wrong for applying the rules?

    Do the rules not apply in context? Or is “donkey” one of the unapproved words Of boards?

    That's exactly what you are doing and you know it.

    Why wouldn't you? I have to ask, why would you?

    I've been years here and it has never crossed my mind to hit the report button. This is a discussion forum not an echo chamber.

    Not getting into specifics, but it's a forum rule there that you do not call users or players 'names'..

    This isn't a 'general site moderation' issue so let's leave it there.

    A few of the topics I mentioned earlier are riddled with topic specific accounts
    They’ll pop up in any thread about that topic to rant about it and disappear again. Only to return later. It’s kind of obvious trolling.

    That’s grand. Why aren’t lads who regularly call players horrible things reprimanded. Or are mods just watching out for easy prey like someone using the “d” word.

    The rule is bollocks anyway. It’s soccer, it’s heat of the moment, who got offended, the thousands of Burnley fans who happen to read the arsenal thread at that exact moment?

    Context. Brains. Mods don’t use these.

    I'm sure there is quite a few rants in your 3,400 posts since May.

    I got banned for saying ‘you’re taking the piss’ in a thread in politics. I share your bewilderment.

    I once got banned for saying the word “Chelski”.

    Highly offensive.

    Tell you what, pm me links to the last 10 posts you reported for this that you believe were slid under the table and I'll question the forum mods on it.

    Boredom after your business collapsing and subsequent unemployment does horrible thing to a man. Ranting isn’t the worst. Loneliness and desparstion is.

    Which one of your 14 bans was that? maybe it was the site ban? Or the 18 warnings you got.

    Sorry, not wasting any more time on you.

    You know we had a massive feedback thread that went on for weeks and a thousand posts to discuss exactly this kind of thing?

    You didn't post in it once. Don't complain about the rules if you don't take the opportunity to reform them.

    These boards, as a whole, are without doubt over moderated...... You only have to look as far as the soccer thread, where you have to ask a certain way, and include certain 'buzz words' which change every month.......wtf like ????

    Oh, and if you phrase the part where they make you beg to post in it, you cannot ask for another month...... really ????

    It's getting like communist Russia...... Do what we say, the way we say it, or you'll be in trouble.

    These guys must work in the most sanitized work places ever, where there's no slagging of football team, or banter about...... more or less anything, because they don't allow it here ......

    Over moderated and over PC !!!!!!!

    So you didn't bother reading how to go about getting soccer access and it's everyone's fault but your own. Duly noted.

    Zombie thread locked.
