I was banned from this board, stuck in cyberspace solitary confinement for two whole days, on account of posting the following words on Saturday last at 5pm approximately. "Lets all laugh at Arse-nil". As a result I was denied my basic human and civil rights of celebrating victories by Spurs and Celtic, and enjoying the build up to the Celtic Man Ure game, and interacting generally with fellow humans. Irishmen have gone willingly to their deaths to defend these rights in the past. Have I a case in the European Court of Human Rights? >:(
Did you post it in the appropriate spurs or arsenal thread?
Im gonna guess you opened yet anoter topic.
Maybe the mods are gooners fans?
Bit harsh to get banned for saying that
BTW, at least you are back with the spuds bottom of the league
I wasn't aware that opening a thread attracted a ban. People here have done a hell of a lot worse and escaped any form of censure
Nobody missed ye!

are you busting our balls here T, WTF. You got banned for saying that, sure I've been banned twice for saying "i bet you're fat and bald" to a certain guy. The Mods have to be having a Giraffe with that...
Why do all your threads have a >:( beside them?!

Funny. Id have thought youd be aware of the rule - you had been told about it before. And had your threads merged into the appropriate threads.
http://gaaboard.com/board/index.php?topic=6563.0
See number 5
The only shock is it hasn't happened many times before.
I assume then that everyone who has offered personal abuse to me has been banned in the past. Perhaps the Mods could confirm this?

I think you have to report it yourself Tone.
In that case I'd spend my whole life in communication with the mods. All the same things are getting a wee bit ridiculous. I know the site has to be monitored etc but banning someone for opening an innocuous thread?
The rules are there tony.
You constantly open threads on the same topic as ones you have already opened.
Dont do it and there is no problem
I think your reputation preceded you. With the most on the board knowing what you are like and your willingness to start countless trivial threads i think the mods were just waiting to cut you off at the knees. A victim of your own success lets say
Its OK! I'm not the first Irishman to suffer grieviously or be martyred for his proclamations! ;D
You are up there with the best of them Tony. There will be Pitches named after you and many a song in your name :D :D
I hear they are looking to name the field in Poyntzpass after the big fellow
Just waiting on copyright to come through
I hope theres no statue being erected. Bronze is in short supply

Its already called An Pairc.
Surely the worry now is that in his free time he penned yet another collection of letters to all and sundry.
In fairness, its a feeble reason to ban people. Harshest ban yet. Normally mods are spot on with who and why they ban people, but not this time.

Its their in black and white , he can have no reason for complaints . He is the only one who feels the need to have a thread every time a spurs player farts .
Gnevin, would you give over, it was a harsh ban regardless of how much you personally hate tony.
Tony has 1800 odd posts
He has started 225 threads :o :o :o :o
Another pointless topic. MODS can you ban the originator?

I don't hate him and he's had numerous chances
Tony, some idiot with nothing better to do probably reported it to the mods who then felt they had to act or we'd get somemore ridiculous thread like free Gnevin etc (nothing personal Gnevin).
QuoteI assume then that everyone who has offered personal abuse to me has been banned in the past.
That's a good point. Of course you're a big boy and don't go crying to the mods unlike several here.

Personal abuse
Its the indignity that gets me. If a legendary fugure of 11 years standing on this Board can be banned, then none of you are safe, not one of you.
I actually went on hunger strike but gave up after three and a half minutes ;D
You could have lasted a lot longer Tone
By my reckoning with your reserves the spread betting would be 95-105 days ;) ;)
Well of all the things that Tony could have gotten a ban for, this was the weakest.

a bit like billy wright so
I couldn't believe it. Tried to log on after the Spurs Liverpool game at 7.30pm and the ban message came up :o
Lets hope you learn your lesson and dont start threads after every spurs win, arsenal defeat etc etc
Experience is a hard master

I did wonder why you weren't on crowing about it.
It seems like everyone gets personal abuse on here except me :(
I feel like i'm missing out.
You're a twat Orior
Don't worry Fat Tone, it worked wonders for Big Ian in 1969.
Quote from: ziggysego on November 04, 2008, 02:28:30 PM
You're a t**t Orior
Can I report Ziggy or does Orior have to do it?
Thanks Bald Shane, If I do half as well as the big man I'll be ok ;D
certainly a bit harsh for banning Tone here..
rule 5 or no rule 5
I'd have thought the mods could have simply merged the 'offending' thread - fer fecks sake !
as for Gnevin - we want him on here, his posts are superb... they are a bt like les dawsons old attempts at playing the piano(for any of you older guys that can rem that kind of thing!)
:D
Remember it well Lynchboy, also his sidekick who went on to play Alec Baldwin in Coronaton Street ;)

Alec Gilroy Tone

Gilroy indeed. Geeting him mixed up with Mike and the other Alec Baldwin ;)

Personal abuse ! Reported. ;)
LOL
:D
what personal abuse
Les had to be HIGHLY TALENTED to be so bad at the piano
just like you must be PHD standard in english and literature.....
;) :D
How many warnings had Tony received previous for starting completely useless threads about Spurs?
Any Mod with a bit of real gumption would have done him for 7 days.
2 days is just a shít and shave, hardly the stuff of martyrs. We didn't even notice.
Hadn't even time to start a 'Ban Tony Forever' thread.
ach tony you have to stop starting threads every time you have a thought!
I wonder did anyone with a mind to see Tony banned report him ??
maybe, or maybe the mods just decided they had merged his many repeated topics before and warned him.
I dont think it is necessary for someone to report him for a mod to take action.

Its not necessary at all Nifan, just a general wondering.
I doubt its true myself, just a faint possibility given the attention Tony draws on himself.
Id say any number of OWC, arsenal, tyrone or liverpool fans are probably having a chuckle at tony being banned for a couple of days so it is certainly a possibility.
How has a thread about Gerrard's penalty got to so many pages already!

Good point.
Own up who reported him. Or.. mod, did you
really ban him?
In fairness Tony, I havta admit it does my head in when you start new threads for no particular reason when there's already a perfectly usuable thread on the topic.
Every Celtic or Spurs match doesn't need a thread of its own.
There's the motive spilled out in front of us. You're the nr. 1 suspect now TAM.
You wouldn't have lasted long in Castlereagh.
I'm not the tout!
Touts will be shoot!
