Biased Modding

    Hi, I feel I have been the victim of biased and unfair modding. I put a post up that I took great care to NOT make about race / ethnicity and then the forum mod provoked me into replying to, to clarify that I wasn't talking about ethnicity.

    I made it as clear as possible that I thought he didn't actually understand why I'd used the work I did (to wit: 'ilk') and that I don't care overall for 'woke' culture or whatever it is and that I was calling out the behaviour of criminal 'types' etc.

    He then uses the fact that I quoted his post as an excuse to ban me. From my point of view I cannot see what the issue is.

    I expressed an opinion that someone who disrespected a garda and who has a long criminal record getting a 1 month sentence is water off a ducks back, and a mod tries to make it about race. I didn't even realise he was a traveller until the mod brought this up - how would I, it isn't mentioned in the news piece!!

    I then clarify my use of a word and that still isn't good enough!

    Sorry, I also need to add that the mod has also put a reply to my message up in a public forum and then banned me so I have no ability to reply in kind in public. I'm extremely annoyed that it has been insinuated that I am in some way racist and have been given no ability to defend myself in forum. I will not rest until this is corrected as I take it extremely seriously.

    Hello Deagol.

    It looks like you are disputing the infraction so I’m moving this to our Dispute Resolution forum where you can expect a CMod to review.

    Shield.

    Hi I've looked into this and red card will be removed.
    There has been a history of anti-traveller sentiment on the forum so the mod was making sure this was not coming up again.
    Please give it a couple of days for an admin to do that.

    If you're happy we can consider this closed.

    Reversed the red card & marking as closed.
