The Naughty Step

[his holiness nb]

FFS just read this thread there now, I have never reported anybody and feel that anyone who does should catch themselves on.
If someone is giving grief then the person its directed at should be man enough to deal with it! Also most posters on here are decent people and if someone is getting a hard time, then others normally intervene to show solidarity.

Ah but you always get one eegit who ends up dragging the whole thing down and targets people for repeated personal abuse. In these circumstances I understand reporting, but other than that you are right.

I've been accused before of reporting people I never did

Man enough to deal with it how? 
You can't answer with abuse of your own because you too will run the risk of a ban.
I've tried answering post for post while not abusing and I was put on a warning for "feuding".
I've tried ignoring it and when someone else reports the culprit I get accused of reporting it so I might as well have done it anyway.
I'm not a fan of reporting posts, though I've done it before and have always said when I did, I've found it to be a hassel. 

So maybe you could tell us how we should deal with it, because I know I'm getting a little fed up of the board for this reason.

Also I know for me, that if someone is giving abuse they are normally joined by a couple more to hold his hand. 
With the exception of prehaps Tony I'm probably the most abused poster on here yet I can count on one hand the number of times someone else has "intervened to show solidarity".  I don't see it very often with other people either so I don't think your theory are correct.




Illdeicde, it's a pity you havent the balls to come back on the armagh thread and admit your mistake or maybe you're accusing me now of being able to edit your posts?

4. Inappropriate posts, incitement or racist posting.
   This is a very broad topic, and can be the most subjective in the way the moderators view things. In general, it would be the 'good manners' rule. Specific examples of
    inappropriate posts would be the following. (This list is by no means conclusive)
      - Abusive posts between fans of soccer teams, clearly not part of good humoured banter. Mentions of Hillsborough, Munich, Heysel or alluding to these incidents in a
        way designed to incite other posters to break forum rules.
      - Sectarian posts, or posts advocating violence against any community or person. Some of the topics under discussion from the different cultures on this island have
        come close to this. That will not be allowed or accomodated.
      - Racist posts, including posts propogating racist views about any race or community.
      - inappropriate posts such as the Maddie McCann jokes etc.

Probably snookered. Shouldn't have mention the Loup .They're wile sensitive.

No. I'm prepared to take my 15 day sinbin.

Nah I was only stirring based on posts i'd read.

That's not like you passedit - I suspect you're in more sober humour today.  Never mind, at least you won't have to worry about Kerry this year.

Nah Billy, not too bothered, better team won end of story. We'll beat Kerry whenever we play them though. 

Back to more important matters, I feel obliged to report Ziggy for cyberbullying poor ole Tony, infractions of Rules 1,2 and 9 if i'm not mistaken. Any punishment he receives should be doubled imo for mocking the afflicted.

Right who threw EG the Martyr's cloak.

State your case

I did not therefore abuse personally any specified individual; indeed, I could not have, since I genuinely was not certain who it was had complained to the Mods.
Then a little later when I went to log on, I received an onscreen message informing me that I had now incurred a two week ban for "engaging with XYZ".

Was this a unilateral action by a mod or the result of a complaint?

seriously poor judgement in either case.
