[Resolved] Three month ban from soccer

Thanks. But I would have preferred the post being left where it was. It highlighted the continuing, ridiculous and pedantic nature of the moderation in the Soccer Forum. Plus, the last appeal wasn't resolved either. I'm going to leave a link to it, so any onlookers can see what goes on here.

Wait, where is all that history gone? What have you done here? Deleted all the previous posts? Why would you do that, instead of creating a new thread? Can you reverse that please? I could have created a new thread, but didn't for a reason. I want people to see EXACTLY what goes on here. And for posterity as well.

Sorry, so where can I see it please? And as I said, it was never resolved. Never mind, I've found it. Who is going to see that? Who even goes in there? You'd be covered in cobwebs visiting that crypt.

It was never "resolved", that's why it was still open, and I posted a new comment in it. It's an ongoing issue. I've said numerous times what goes on here, but if whoever makes a decision on this separate matter and if they come down on the side of Necro, you're showing to all who will see this, all be it limited, in this corner of Boards.ie, that what I've said about moderation on this site is true.

From the last post.

"sligeach, as per my previous post to you in February if you want to discuss the ban you come to discuss the ban. You don't come throwing around digs and insults."

And they continue…

"May I suggest though that you look at your argumentative and aggressive style of posting. Your posts on this thread have been long rants throwing insults at the site, the moderators and the administrators. There was no reasonable discussion. You have been made aware of the type of posting that will get you warned and/or banned from Soccer. If you wish to remain an active member of the soccer forum you need to contribute constructively."

I can't think why I didn't respond to them, or why they didn't take their own advice. You know, some might call that post "baiting". 😉

I have discussed the issues. But what it all boils down to is, we're(mods) right(because we hold the power), you're wrong, just accept it.

This is beyond a joke at this point. It's 2 weeks now since I last asked someone to look into this. And that was 2 weeks on since I first opened this dispute. The Ireland v England match is starting shortly and I can't comment on it, over a travesty of a warning.

Yet another week has passed and still nothing.

The prior appeal wasn't resolved and remained open, it was only closed when I added this dispute to it. When a dispute is resolved, it says so and is closed, if wasn't.

And your opinion that "There was no reason to refer to the FA Cup Final like that other than to bait United fans." is absolute nonsense. You know it, I know it, any right thinking person reading this knows it. I am not in the slightest bit surprised by your reaction though given your history. This dispute "resolution" forum is a charade. It's a mockery.

I was not attempting to bait anybody. Fact. And it's a perfectly legitimate opinion. I also backed up my opinion with facts. Man United didn't lay a glove on Man City in the league in both matches. The league form of both clubs going into the FA Cup final were polar opposites, I posted above.

But, also, even their runs to the FA Cup final were in complete contrast. Man City beat Newcastle in the quarter-finals and Chelsea in the semi-finals. While Man United needed extra-time to beat Liverpool at Old Trafford with literally the last kick of the game. And needed penalties to beat Coventry City(and but for a marginal call by VAR, United would have lost in extra-time, and it would have been, one of, if not the biggest FA Cup semi-final shock ever).

I've been warned before alright, for equally outrageous decisions.

My "option" was not the mod admitting that they were wrong, but them saying "I'm willing to readmit you to the forum, if you're happy enough to avoid posting in an inflammatory matter regarding United."

Why would I be "happy enough" to admit to something I haven't done wrong? I could have said yes and I'd be back there. But I wouldn't have had justice, and it only be a matter of time before they pull the same stunt.

And if you've read the previous dispute, I don't put much stock in your opinion, or Ten of Swords. You 2, and it's just my opinion here, but ye shouldn't be in a position of power.

I want another mod to make a ruling here. Let's see if any of ye have the guts to make the right call here. I sincerely doubt it, that's why nobody had answered this thread for over a month. And they're definitely not now going to go against one of the kingpins here.

Here again, as a reminder is the comment made by a member and my response.

I'll even ask you @Beasty was the FA Cup final a true barometer of where both teams were at? Just a simple yes, or no answer.
