I have seen worse on here before that has been left on the forums, but at the end of the day if enough people shout about it then its out, and yes I agree I dont think it was meant to be taken seriously it seems some can joke and laugh about things and some can ban......

Two mistakes: If you dislike someone, at least you do not voice it,

You are not fit to be a moderator, IMO, and I hope you are removed
from your tiny position of power anytime soon, which perhaps will
crumble your self esteem and 92% of your everyday duties.

God bless you.
And I say this with all due respect for a fellow RHPer.

Apparently it all depends on who you are and who the mod is.

If you are widget or Seitse then you are on a downhill slope with a certain mod who loves them both!!

seems that way doesnt it .... I only post rarely if i have something to say ...but widget didnt come across as racist and if thats the case surely i should have been told off for using a bollywood film clip dubbed over for the "where did you get that hat" thread

SA won their game against those Pommie Whingers, now they are back to being masters of their universe perhaps Crowley will release Widget.

Sorry C but in my opinion you really should unban him.
or give me one for the above which really is tongue in cheek.
Or at least let him start a wine and food thread for a day..

A few points:


Where do we draw the line? 'Maybe it was tongue in cheek' doesn't cut it for me.
A few Irish people were offended by it and on my watch racism gets zero tolerance.


Also, sure there may have been 'worse' posts that have slipped past the mods, but if it doesn't get alerted, you can't be sure we saw it... If you didn't personally alert any such post, please don't use something like this as an example.

How can you form an opinion, when you didn't see the comments? 😕

Jesus people, it's just a 3-day ban from a chess forum, it's not three years in the gulag. I've been banned many times, often for things that I haven't agreed with (7 days for once slightly obfuscating the f-word, 3 days for writing 'dick'😉. It's greatly inconsistent, subjective and varies from moderator to moderator but really, it's not a big deal - who cares?

Maybe Faith No More can help you with this one:

We care a lot
about disasters, fires, floods and killer bees
about Los Angeles falling in the sea
about starvation and the food that Live Aid bought
about disease, baby, Rock Hudson, Rock...Yeah!

We care a lot
about the gamblers and the pushers and the freaks
about the people who live off the street
about the welfare of all the boys and girls
about you people cause we're out to save the world

Yeah!

And it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it!

We care a lot
about the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines
about the NY, SF, and LAPD
about you people, about your guns
about the wars you're fighting
gee, that looks like fun

We care a lot
about the Cabbage Patch, The Smurfs, and DMC
about Madonna and we cop for Mr.T
about the little things, the bigger things we top
about you people, yeah, you bet we care a lot

And it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it....

Widgets Anti-Irish rants deserved action, if you saw them you wouldn'tve posted what you have just posted.
