    Thread being opened on the users behalf, as their warning level blocks them from opening new threads.

    I have received 2 warnings and a thread ban for trolling I have been nothing but polite and courteous but was badgered and hectored by some. There was persistent baiting. I did not report those posts as I don't do that. I would have received a 3rd warning but the mod decided against that. I would like to appeal.

    Ireland running out of accommodation for Ukrainian refugees due to surge in non-Ukrainian refugees?

    • How can refugees cause a housing crisis? The overwhelming majority are accommodated in refugee centres, hotels, large public buildings, army barracks etc. i.e. places where Irish people don't actually live. None of them are placed by the state in private houses or apartments (apart from those who have been generously offered accommodation by host families).


    • The first to arrive have created this problem. I have visited Dublin a few times. Went to Dundrum there are empty flats that got converted into a refugee hub. I think the area is where the filmed some of love hate. It was like visiting the worst parts of the ME women in robes only eye slits. I saw one man once obviously sending out the wife out to do the shopping. Tones of kids running around unsupervised. Are we ok with ME men from the stone age lording it up over their women folk ? Have been to the ME it's the same story wife walks behind the man looks after the kids same Guy live it up large.

    • Unless you can refute this with facts I have lived in the ME And noticed the exact same behaviour. They are currently fighting against this kind of nonsense in Iran. Just because some are triggered by this information does not make it any less factual.

    Hi xxxxxxl,

    I'll look into this for you later today. Please bear with me.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    @xxxxxxl it is unclear here what specific warning you are disputing.

    You received 2 x 1 point warnings on 8/12, but the PMs you've pasted pre-date this. Are you appealing different warnings?

    Can you clarify this, as it will help @ancapailldorcha when he reviews this later.

    Just the warnings. The Pm's were to show bias.

    Hi xxxxxxl,

    I've read this thread and the PM exchange between yourself and the moderator in question. I've concluded that the warnings are warranted and have decided to uphold them accordingly.

    Your posts in that thread are of an antagonistic nature. You're repeatedly posted pithy comments which don't add anything to the discussion. I've read the PM's and I do not see any signs of bias. The moderators do not screen every post so sending a list of posts for review isn't really a fair thing to ask. In future, please use the report post function as the moderator requested. This sends an email to each moderator with a link to the individual post to be reviewed.

    Furthermore, comments such as "Are we ok with ME men from the stone age lording it up over their women folk ?" are highly bigoted and unwelcome on the site. They're also inflammatory.

    Frankly, I think the moderator showed great forbearance in only warning you. This month alone you have had eight individual warnings. I suggest you seriously reconsider your posting style if you wish to continue contributing to the CA forum.

    Please let me know if you'd like an admin review.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    Yes I would like a Review. It seems people who don't sing from the same sheet are the ones getting warnings who defines what is antagonising. Asking what further can be done is not antagonising It's simple a question they chose not to answer.

    Ok. I'll flag this now.

    Hi @xxxxxxl ,

    I have reviewed this and I agree with the warnings given, you were trolling the thread, warnings upheld.

    As @ancapailldorcha said, you need to reconsider your posting style, however I am going to go further and say you have been a member since June and your record is appalling. With this sort of record, it won't be long until you pick up a siteban.

    Improve the quality of your contributions and stay off our radar.
