Who do I email/contact to get it resolved?

I'm locked out of the "Boris Johnson- Prime Minister (Vol. 2)" - likely due to a spat with Breadvan72, to be honest I really can't remember.

However there are posts in that thread that I would like to comment on - would one of the Mods mind lifting the ban?

Thanks.

In my experience, it's not going to happen.

Someone or more than one has complained about your posts and it's unlikely your ban will be lifted. I'm not a mod by the way, but they are unlikely to engage in open forum with you either.

Understood. But if memory serves me I criticised Breadvan72. Probably called him a retard or something similar.

Perhaps a Mod can take a look into it all (BigAl perhaps?) and just remind me of the why? All I received was an email saying you have broken the terms and conditions of this web site.

Theres too many trolls that do feck all except wind folks up and when you get pissed off at them and tell them to fk off, the snowflake mod steps in and calls you a naughty boy with a weeks ban. Its quite pathetic really.

All I wanted to post as an example:

Breadvan72 said:
I have noticed that a few of the rightward leaning types are some sort of "that's beneath you" police. Who gave them a badge that allows them to decide what it is unbecoming for someone else to say? That someone else is someone that the badge wearer has in most cases never met and likely will never meet, and may be a person who is entirely fictional. "That's beneath you" is just a rather daft and wannabe haughty way of saying "I disagree with you". Why not just say that?

What drugs is Breadvan72 on because I want to make sure my lad is not on that planet.

Hi JALS - you can drop me an email if you like? I'm not going to put the deleted comment in here.

But yes, the thread ban is here to stay.

Thanks for the reply Jack, obviously little point in trying to resolve this.

A ban is a ban, live your life and move on I say. Us mere mortals have no defense against the ban-hammer.

Try telling a joke in the gender thread. Totally pathetic but they do get to sit there in their cosy little bubble protected from the realities of how people can be.
Similarly call someone out for repeatedly throwing a race card inaccurately and unfairly at people and you get banned for that. Ironically it wasn't from someone on the left but a completely intolerant guy constantly using the race card to protect those that Labour seem to dislike
Then there are the repeated types that do nothing but carp downgrade belittle and spread discord. They seem to positively thrive

There's long been something very odd about the moderation on PH.

I'm rapidly cumming [sic] to the conclusion that dark humour is verboten.

I love dark humour, Frankie Boyle is bang on message but banged [sic] off the BBC.

The League of Gentlemen is also likely to be a series the like of which we will never see again.

I get so many WhatsApp Memes about Greta and Prince Andrew and I just look at sharing them here and think 'Best not to really'.

I think moderation here works, but it’s always reactive in nature. If no one flags / reports a post, normally nothing will happen to it. This is a consequence of the number of posts, rather than a criticism of the mods.

As a result, if posts which seem reasonably innocuous are reported by one side of a discussion, they may be removed. If the other side don’t report anything, it will appear that moderation is not even handed, but the mods are simply reacting on a post by post basis to user reports.

Jack has got it spot on.

Anyone using the offensive term that is mentioned above deserves a ban.

Using somebody's mental condition as a general insult is deserving of a ban of some kind or another. I'm pretty sure PH's owners don't want to be associated with that kind of abuse. Some people on here will be caring for the mentally disabled (usually their own family) and will be upset seeing there loved ones condition being used to describe someone in a derogatory and offensive way.

That's not being a snowflake, that's being a human being.

Get over it. I just had a month ban for calling a mongrel dog a mongrel.

Some posters seem to have some mods in their pockets.
Forget it and move on.

Over a year and I'm still banned from the bad parking thread lol.
