Nev smash!!
Just got an alert from an unnamed modmin saying he/she had beaten about 5 others to thread ban me from the Transfer Twitter thread as "there are enough threads about you" (me).

Can someone clarify this? I've barely been involved in the thread, and it certainly isn't about me. Makes no sense whatsoever.
 
Looks like it was a mistake. Expect to be thread banned from the correct one shortly.
 
Thiago one I assume? Even though i've posted very sensibly in there since being warned about my behaviour.

Figures.

Bit harsh. Maybe you should just stop having an opinion, or rather an opinion that differs to that of everyone else.
Why don't they just go all RAWK and close every thread where people don't agree?

Uh oh! We've got a Brad-ass over here!
 
Instead of taking the option of pm'ing an admin, you make a thread about it, thus bringing more attention on yourself. Do you see how this might be part of the problem? Before you ask, I did not thread ban you.
 
Unlucky TN. Everyone's bitching about you in the thread right now.

Wouldn't I have to have sweared a bit more and called Wibble a cnut, to qualify as brad-esque?
Personally, I just think there are a hell of a lot worse posters in the Thiago thread than grumpy old Nev here. All he's done is asked, quite a few times, to be allowed to have his own opinion.

Who would I have pm'd? They didn't leave a name.

This is the Admin/mod help forum, right? And therefore the place you'd post for help with admin/mod issues, right?

I didn't say it was you, though I wouldn't have ruled it out. And no, I wouldn't say this is part of the problem. More threads are made about me by others than by me.

If you use Tapatalk you can still view threads from which you're banned whilst logged in.

I'm thread banned as in I can't contribute, I can still view. As it's the Twitter thread, it's hardly a big deal anyway, the ban just surprised me, as did the rush of 5 modmins to do it.

Literally pm anyone of the admins or mods at a push and ask them to contact anyone who knows anything more about it, rather than making a thread whereby the whole forum can offer an opinion on something frankly they'll have no idea about as warnings and thread bans cannot be seen by them.

You're coming across as massively attention-seeking. I also said it wasn't me because I was the one who warned you about turning it into the Neviller show, which you didn't stop or indeed, cease across threads, now including this one.
 
Nev did you quote me then delete the comment?

My apologies Adzzz, for posting an Admin/mod query in the correct forum. I assumed this was the right place, perhaps I should have stuck it in the general.

As for the thread ban, which thread are we talking here? The one I was banned from? We haven't conversed in there. If you mean the one I should have been banned from (I assume the Thiago thread) the only mention of me was by an modmin.

As for making it The Neviller show, my last input was a discussion on Thiago, the likelihood of a transfer, and the likely accuracy of the sources. What exactly is wrong with that discussion? I'll revert to not having an opinion about anything if it offends your sensibilities less.

You see I'm being fair with you and now you're just being sarcastic back. If you cannot combine the ideas that perhaps your antagonism is seen as somewhat deliberate because you seek to constantly re-affirm your right to an opinion which I have already explained wasn't the reason for the warning and then link this with making a public thread about what essentially is an issue between you and the moderators, then you're being incredibly naive - probably on purpose.

Now we have people assuming why you're thread banned. I'm closing this thread now. You're thread banned from the Thiago transfer thread. You warned about the reasons why previously, you didn't heed them. There shouldn't be any confusion here and this forum isn't for rampant 'general chat' like assumptions.
 
It was me. And yes I got the wrong thread. And I didn't know it was not signed.

It was the Thiago thread. The whole transfer forum is shit and TN wasn't helping by being snide and sarky. Even being earnest it's a mess. It doesn't need any winding up of the pointlessness. Rado's post said TN was just being negative but TN decided that was him being an anti muppet or somesuch nonsense. So that was his aim. An anti muppet would just ignore them. So I'm helping him in his cause.

TDon, what are you saying? He wasn't banned for having an opinion, he was banned for not actually having one and reiterating it over and over. In a less spastic thread it's called derailing. And wearing that fact he was like a badge of honour. It was tedious.

The forum would be a whole lot shitter if we all went into every thread we feel is full of shit and said so over and over. That would be a valid opinion but it would make for a fecking awful forum.
 
That was the post I was thread banned for? That was a simple joke, nothing more.

I've discussed it with Adzzz by pm, and i'll say here what I said there. Had I been banned from that thread a few days ago i'd have seen why, I was being a cnut and I know I was. But i've had a warning from a modmin to tone down my behaviour and I have done over the last few days, so it doesn't make sense to me it happening today.

If the ban sticks then fair enough, i'll cope without the Thiago thread, but i'm making a genuine effort to heed the warning i've been given and have been nothing but polite and civil over recent days.

You think after reading that you were banned for one post?

Really?

I'm not concerned how much sense it makes. There was a discussion about you in that thread in the mod room and I went and read the thread and took action. If you were warned I missed that and will talk to the mod who did it and ok it with them.

"have been nothing but polite and civil over recent days". That's an embarrasing thing for a grown man to have to post on a message board surely?

Well yeah, i'd prefer to still be taking the piss and having a laugh, but not everyone takes my humour the way it's intended so i've been forced to heed the warning as given and tone it down.
 
Excellent. To be fair of course not everyone will get everyone's humour, but let's be honest, you enjoyed the reaction of people who didn't 'get' you as much as those who did. You weren't laughing with too many in that thread, but it didn't discourage you.

The "tone it down" warning was more a general one, not specifically related to that thread.

Yeah, i've wound up a bit in that thread. I didn't deny it when I was infracted for it. I've toned it down though, but if the thread ban sticks it sticks. I was just surprised at it happening today rather than at a time when I genuinely was being a cnut.

Maybe that thread isn't the place for my brand of humour, which is fair enough if so. If i'm banned from there then that's grand. If i'm not i'll pick the places where a bit of banter is acceptable a bit better in future.
 
Excellent, yep the thread ban will stick. It's only a thread, and one you have no real contribution to make thus far. So no big loss.

Let me explain again, you weren't banned for what happened today. There is no time limit on what we can moderate.

Also a bit of research shows your 'warning' was for insulting behaviour, your thread ban was for cumulative wumming and derailing of a thread. So not mutually exclusive actions at all.
