    No need to be sarcastic. I'm just displaying my knowledge of the art of modding.

    Permanently banned from the "PRO WRESTLING" Forum for saying that Wrestling is all acting.:rolleyes:

    Don't say that to him either or we'll have water works again! :D

    modding isn't really an art... and sarcasm > you.

    Who all got banned for the "Mustard Incident"? It's pretty legendary on the poker forum but I don't know who was involved.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,388 ✭✭✭Kernel


    Got temp banned from a couple of forums (hate the word fora).. Currently banned from feedback (it's so long ago I cant recall the reason.. don't think I was ever given an official reason, but I suspect it was for sticking up for a banned user which I felt wasn't justified) and Paranormal for not being enough of a believer! :)

    In general, I think the standard of modding is better nowadays and you don't see people banned for sport/kudos anymore. :)

    Banned from feedback a few months ago so nowhere for me to go and bitch about it ,still banned as far as I know


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 828 ✭✭✭SoBe

    Banned from Humour a couple of years ago. Think it was Bio. Now I'm one of the mods there :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,033 ✭✭✭Chakar


    TCD: 1
    UCD: 2

    It wasn't my fault.;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,372 ✭✭✭The Bollox


    yeah, I was banned from AH. it wasn't me fault tho, it was a bad decision, the mod was being a dick, I mean it was only a couple of cat pics ffs!. I told them clear as day "unban me now or i'll get my friends to mock you"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,285 ✭✭✭Smellyirishman


    Site-banned for one week after a signature misunderstanding.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,495 ✭✭✭Mr. Presentable


    I got banned from the soccer access requests forum for a post in after hours by a mod not a mod of after hours. The usual one week ban that lasts nine months because you weren't told about the ban until you realised (belatedly) that you couldn't access the forum..

    The f'edup world of Boards. It takes some getting used to :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Have been banned a few times. One which sticks out was the time I got banned from After Hours for posting a video of an Iraqi guy having sex with a donkey. It seemed like a good idea at the time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,678 ✭✭✭✭Owen


    Banned from Paranormal for taking the piss out of Adults who really believe in banshees, and other such nonsense :D It was worth it though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,099 ✭✭✭✭WhiteWashMan


    banned from many different fora for many different reasons.

    but i dont think ive been banned from anywhere for about 5 years, i do know i havent been banned from anywhere since i became a cmod.

    personally, as a general rule i only ban people for direct personal abuse, or being highly stupid (like posting porn, or links to illegal software downloads etc)
    anything else is a clip around the ear and dont do it again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,333 ✭✭✭Cake Fiend


    Banned from politics once AFAIK, probably for abusing some moron.

    I was banned for a week for jumping the gun on my mod status.

    How did you think you were going to be a mod after a month? :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,678 ✭✭✭✭Owen


    Same guy was on Feedback last night telling the Admins not to let the downtime happen again. :D

    Banned for life from rugby because i said that Munster hammered Leinster in the Heineken Cup semi-final at Lansdowne Road on Sunday, April 23 2006.
    Finial result was Munster 30 Leinster 6.

    I got banned for a week for some ridiculously mild Leinster v Munster remark too.
    Oh and we were hammered that day ;)

    the mod of rugby must be a disgruntled Leinster supporter... i know is their any other type of Leinster supporter, sales in Brown Thomas were down that week...:D


    i have also noticed that mods don't get banned,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,984 ✭✭✭✭Lump


    I've been banned a couple of times for calling people all sorts of names. To be fair though, only banned twice and I've abused people a lot more then that. The mods must have agreed with some of the abuse. (I am a Mod and have been banned - Once a site wide ban for a week! But that got removed)

    So just curious, have you ever been banned from anything on boards? See loads of people complaining over in Feedback, so don't want to hear any of the following:

    1. it was wrong
    2. the mod's a dick
    3. unban me now or i'll get my friends to mock you
    4. Cat pictures

    What i am interested in is people who'll admit freely to been a bit on the naughty side, what'd ye do? And what was the sentance?

    I'll start, I'm clean as a whistle, 500 posts and no bans...

    Does that make me unpopular like those kids in school who never missed a day and got letters from the lord mayor? :(

    Banned plenty of times, mostly stupid stuff. Most mods are grand but posting a complaint in feedback is pointless, you just get flamed. Look at any thread in there where someone is making a genuine complaint about being banned and you'll see what i'm talking about.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,062 ✭✭✭Fighting Irish


    I'm always on different site/forum and its really laid back anything goes sort of site, so coming to boards is a challenge because its so strict. Thats prob the reason i've been banned so much


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,459 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr Magnolia


    Banned from a regional forum for a week ages ago.

    Some dude wanted ideas to celebrate his china-shop's 50th anniversary, I told him to get a bull and bring it into it, it had to be said really ---->banned

    Not so. Look at any thread where someone is demanding that their ban be lifted and you'll see that. Look at any thread where someone makes a genuine complaint in a civil manner and you'll see a genuine and civil response.

    From the mod of feedback you'll get a genuine responce, yes. But feedback seems to be a hang out for mods of other sub forums, and they sit and wait to pounce on the next complaintee :D

    Thats the impression i use to get anyway, I got banned about 6 months ago so i won't know what its like now :p

    I actually PM'd the mods about twice or three times in the past few weeks seeing if i could get the ban lifted but i didn't even get a reply, typical
