    3 reds & 2 yellows...most in the rugby forum...the mods in there don't like when you refer to rugby players as being scumbags despite having criminal records that justify the preceding statement

    2 red
    3 yellow
    1 red reversed
    1 yellow reversed.

    There should have been more reversed just the people judging it are human too.

    Few yellows but nothing major, can't for the life of me understand the people who go through a whole dispute resolution process to overturn a digital yellow card. Dispute resolution forum is hilariously cringey

    Only gotten 3;

    - for calling someone a bigot
    - for telling someone to piss off
    - for telling someone to "learn to read" [really...]

    All RED.

    I'm such a person of questionable nature I am.

    No cards or bans on this or previous accounts going back 15 years. One warning ever, about my criticism of a forum, in that forum, on this account. I would probably get banned if I posted in that forum, but I avoid it like the plague unless I end up there unknowingly from the front page. I managed to post there frequently long ago and remain civil, but I know I don't have the patience to pussyfoot around the nonsense anymore, so it's best avoided.

    3 reds and 2 yellows.

    One red for calling Mike Brown (England rugby player) a bellend. I stand by it.

    I was proud of this one though.

    Many of the moderators on here are truly appalling.

    You receive infractions or bans simply for having a contrary view to theirs, or if you happen to highlight that something which they have stated is not actually correct.

    Boards.ie is actually a disgusting site full of tin pot dictators as moderators. I have no respect for a huge number of the so-called moderators here. I am sure there might be exceptions who actually do a decent job.

    I cant remember what forum I first nodded tbh

    But whatever it was I got a pm from a CMod (I think) asking if I was interested in modding

    Generally mods are chosen from posters who post a lot in a particular forum and have an ok record

    Given that that's pretty much exactly how you see the real world, it's not surprising to see it reflected online.

    1 yellow for calling someone a see you next Tuesday in the heat of discussion

    1 red from a mod for not posting correctly in a certain thread - mod had actually completely misread the thread title and had gotten everything arseways and banned me from the thread for no reason, when I pointed out over several messages how I had in fact been posting correctly and in line with how everyone else used the thread they begrudgingly reversed it and gave me a non-apology.

    I generally feel the trope of the power-tripping mod is overblown on this site but I was genuinely surprised at the sanctimonious way I was dealt with despite having done nothing and them being totally wrong.

    Sanctimonious isn't the half of it. They are probably breaching bullying laws much of the time. And some mods are quick to issue infractions to protect their friends, and allow the friends to bully with impunity.


    As I stated, many are an absolute disgrace.

    I once got a yellow for "strawman" from a mod I was debating with. I reported other posts using "strawman" and got scolded by another mod because strawman arguments aren't against the charter. It wasn't even strawman argument. Went through the process and they wouldn't rescind it, predictably.

    I love those arguments from the type of user who’s here a wet weekend and yet goes on about the power tripping mods.

    Most people on this site get along just fine, with one or two mod actions every once in a while, but to the other type of poster it’s always the power tripping mods who are to blame, along with their sheeple.

    3 yellows, 1 red here

    Yellows were for what I considered 2 jokey comments and 1 “you really are too thick to breath” type
    Red was for a bit of overreaction but still deserved. Last one was 2017

    Mod

    Thread has been good up until the last few posts so I want to remind everyone that the purpose of this thread is not to complain about moderators or mod actions. If it heads down that route it will be closed.

    There is a multi-step process that can be followed when a card or a ban has been issued, complaining about it in AH long after the fact is not part of it.

    Lets keep it light hearted as I'm sure the op intended.

    Have two yellows from 2012, one which was in R&R and I went againt the rant so was totally justified.

    Second was for a comment on a post by a serial CT poster......everyone and everything was out to get him. Both cards were within 3 days of each other, so I must have been off my own meds those days.

    14 yellows + 1 red (and another 2 reds that were reversed)
    1 2 week ban - my hatred of a certain football club got the better of me … worth it though :)

    Latest yellow was about 2 weeks ago , I challenged and it was disregarded, yes no surprise.
    Who would have thought that pointing out that you shouldn't take pics of cars, while driving a car was "derailing the thread " ?
    Anyway, we live and learn ….

    Just click on your user name in the top right, it will bring you to your 'homepage'.
    Click on the infractions tab then.

    I have one red only on my account from 2010. I have no idea what it was for actually. It was from a mod that is no longer a member of the site.

    And it is marked as "Private" so either the thread it was on was deleted - or the infraction was directed and not related to any post. No idea.

    Half curious to know now what it was for. After all I can not learn from my mistakes if I can not remember them can I? :)

    Entirely clean record since that though. If I get to 7th October without an infraction then I am a full decade clean :)

    I think you have to ask or apply. I always said I would never be a mod unless they come and ask me though :) So you are all safe cause that never happens I think.

    Okay …..

    I wouldn't think its 'well hard' really..... Just cant keep my online mouth shut I guess...

    I do have an infractions tab, maybe if you don't have any cards/bans you don't have an infraction tab ???

    Ps - if you don't have any, you aren't trying hard enough !! :P

    I have a complaint about the mods. My consistently bad ass behavior has not yielded one yellow or red card in all my years on this and previous accounts.

    Mods be conspiring to make me look like an angel.

    Thinking about it...an infractions tab probably isn't and shouldn't be viewable by others, so that would explain it. I was disappointed with your home page after expecting to find an infractions tab lit up like a Christmas tree. :D

    3 yellows in 11 years.
    One for pointing out that the OP was a troll,by checking his posting history.He got a permaban,I kept my card for pointing it out.
    One for taking the piss out of Boards' commercial partner,some Chinese knockoff merchants shadier than Wish.
