    Hi there

    I’ve been posting for a few weeks and posted my experience that of the homophobic abuse I’ve witnessed a family member receive online, the majority was from people from Africa (from their profiles Kenya and Nigeria in the main).

    I was banned from the whole Current Affairs page for a week which seems harsh for a first offence - plus I offered to withdraw it if if was deemed against the rules but I wasn’t offering “racist guff” as the Moderator (Necro) said but noting what my brother had suffered just for posting on a soccer Facebook page whilst using a picture of his wedding as his profile.

    My ban is up in two days but I think it unfair and it’s unfortunate the Moderator has chosen this path and then refuses to engage over almost a week.

    Hi HK

    I can't look at this for you. Please provide the pm exchange where you attempted to resolve the issue with the mod and also a link to the relevant post.

    Hello

    Many thanks, I have attached screenshots of the ban (1); the initial post (2) and 3 and 4 are my messages to the Moderator that were ignored so far.
