Banned???

[discovery39]

Haven't been around for a bit, but I've noticed whilst cruising around the forum, that at least 2 people have Banned written under their names......?
Is this some cool new thing to do or something? Or have I missed some heated arguments somewhere????????

Just curious.........:)

[Lotz-A-Landies]

Members get banned for several reasons, people who post Spam are banned forever and their posts usually deleted.

Other members get banned for breaching rules on innappropriate content or mainly for attacks on other members. Remember we have a demerit points scheme operating, so most non-spammer members will only be banned (suspended) for a period of several days to three months.

It's all explained in the AULRO FAQ (http://www.aulro.com/afvb/faq.php)

[goingbush]

I just received an infraction for posting the words Far and Ken next to each other , but before doing so did a search and found this http://www.aulro.com/afvb/general-chat/195964-show-us-your-arken-****en-14.html

so thought it would be ok

my post was edited and I was pinged,
here is the post , in context I reckon if you look at the sign on the first car

http://www.aulro.com/afvb/showthread.php?p=2372346#post2372346



Yep Ive been banned before and should know better, but fair go!!
do I need to duck ??

[Dopey]

A little while ago I posted a comment in a thread, I was trying to follow the name and shame rules and not go overboard....

A moderator changed one word of my comment, I wasn't sure if they thought that it was a spelling mistake or a deliberate attempt at avoiding the swear filter or an attempt to convey another meaning entirely.

Anyways, without knowing why they changed it, I decided to change it back....

I then received an infraction from a second Moderator.

The second Moderator that gave me the infraction was very polite and was just doing his/her job, however that second Moderator also explained why the word was changed and that there was a discussion amongst Moderators about the content of my comment and that they decided to leave the post there with just the changing of one word.

I do not have an issue with the second Moderator......
However the first Moderator (in my opinion) should have explained what the second moderator took the time to do so, so I would know what the limitations are and subsequently don't go to far in the future.

I am a moderator on another forum that is a lot more descriptive than this one and as such am aware of the need for effective communication when limits have been reached or breached.

I would like to talk further about the word that I used but will not put it here because I would expect to be "moderated" and infringed again by the first Moderator.... But the word that I used in the context that I used it in can mean a number of things (including "Mouthy") but the Moderators maybe did not see it the way that I may have intended to come across and read something else into it and without asking me why I used such a word.

Anyways, still a bit upset at the lack of communication from the first Moderator, it is the first infraction that I have ever received on a forum, although I have noted that some of my posts on here have been modified or deleted before by Moderators with no communication as to why.

Mike.

[Ausfree]

Yeah, good communication does help and for this I must applaud Ron (p38arover) for contacting me over a post which I posted in good faith ( a few months back) and on second reading it appears I said something that was not intended. Ron pm'd me for an explanation rather than just pinging me. It was cleared up ( I reworded the post) and all were happy!!:D

[incisor]

sometimes people simply don't have the time to explain all the rationale behind their actions..

they are volunteers that give a lot of their time to keep this place with in the guidelines and orderly

if you have an issue send a message to the moderator or report the post and have your say.

no one has yet been banned for daring to question a decision in a polite manner...

very little is just done off the bat

generally speaking, the majority opinion of several moderators is obtained before being acted upon

pretty hard to please everyone all the time but an effort is made.

[ramblingboy42]

I 've had a few warnings/infractions from mods.

Each time they explained why.

I have had mods very courteously speak to me about my "ramblings" and I accept and appreciate it.

That's why we have them, that's why this is an ace forum.

Keep up the exceptional work you mods.

[Ausfree]

Thanks for that Inc. we who have been members for a number of years do understand what you are saying and I think (me being old school) your words "polite manner" should be used at all times. I understand that some of the members are more (shall we say) "firey" than others and it makes it difficult for a moderator to be polite when a "firey" member is chewing him/her up.

On the other hand if a person agrees to be a moderator they should set aside the time to moderate properly. If they are time poor, they should not be moderating.

Anyrate that's my 02C worth ( in a polite manner I might add):p:D:D

[goingbush]

BTW my infraction was reversed when I pointed out the anomoly
I agree the mods deserve a big thanks

well the issue with that is once you are banned you can not ask the question

very little is just done off the bat

so you get a PM saying leave it alone your being bated by a troll ( effectively) and then a couple of days latter you get banned by another Mod? i have no issue with being told by a mod to pull my head in, i know i get carried away and am a prime target for some. others can see it i can not.

[discovery39]

Wow, ok.
This is all starting to sound like an ep of Dr Phil..............
Guys/girls, it's ok, this isn't a confessional.
This isn't Neighbours/Home and Away or something.

People, relax, it's ok, it was just a question........
Sheesh.


Bloody Hell, OK back to Landies and stuff............:cool:

[ramblingboy42]

nothing wrong with a bit of a confessional....

I was just waiting for it to warm up a bit......

[DiscoMick]

I think the mods deserve all our thanks. BTW that was genuine, not a deliberate suck-up!

[DoubleChevron]

I can't believe anyone would complain about being "moderated" this this forum. I often get dodging the swear filter infringements.... 'cos that's just how I've always typed on forums and do it without realising .... No biggie.

If you guys like getting "moderated" ... head over to the caravaners forum. If your a moron or an anal fruitcake you'll be tolerated fine (eg: post blatantly incorrect ****, or voluminous gibberish bull**** from regulations websites).

I got banned for example 'cos I said "It's perfectly safe to file down a 15amp extension lead earth pin and plug into a 10amp powerpoint .... So long as you don't draw more than 10amps ..... which woudl be almost impossible if your running just lighting to pack/unpack the caravan at home". This being common sense was deleted and I was banned. But gibberish bull**** from standards sites screaming ILLEGAL is perfectly fine. Go on ... try posting anything over there that's common sense .... I dare you :twisted: :twisted:

Good luck with that ... They moderated any common sense based reply out I made. The anals that jump and and down and yelled me down.... All emailed admins and complained about me when I asked if they have ever plugged a kettle and toaster into the same power point at the same time... (let me guess EVERY morning)..... "Guess what, you just pulled 15amps minimum from your 10amp powerpoint .... Did the house burn down ?? power point blow up ??" :misclock: :misclock: :Rolling:

Banned !!! How dare you state simple obvious common sense out. Hey I'll let you in on a secret ..... How do you think 99.99 % of people plug in a 15amp device (especially a caravan that will likely only ever pull < 2amps) into a domestic power point :wasntme:

Owning a caravan does not make one a caravanner.

[Homestar]

Mmm, lasted 2 posts before my account was suspended due to 'bypassing the spambot protocols' whatever that means. I edited my profile after signing up - which a lot of others have done too, but that must be a no no.

My 2 posts were not exactly friendly but they weren't bad by any stretch. I only asked 1 person to clarify their point of view on double pole protection on GPO's in vans and told a guy who wanted to put a UPS in his caravan he was just adding weight and if was just trying to keep up with the Jones's

I don't think I'll last long there...:D

See if they give my access back.... Not fussed of they don't.

Na you mean AusCan, silver with dribbles and runs, thin patches where the original yellow of the Game right front guard is showing and the green of the left hand guard is showing. the roof is 1/2 painted silver and 1/2 ally silver where the paint has pealed off

you know he painted it him self, he still has silver under his nails. and his lips? not sure if he was drinking it or he likes the last version of Mad Max. or maybe Mad Max took there ideas from Mick Mash. could be true both MM and MM.
maybe his caravan is full of pigs?? no that's 3, lactating women that look like pigs? uuuuurrrrrrrr need a Will Smith thing

I've got a really nice old CIG stick welder that has had the earth terminal on the plug filed down so it'll fit a 10 amp outlet. (And no, I didn't do it).

Worked fine at the old place I had that only had 10 amp outlets, but works much better plugged into a 15 amp outlet at the new joint! :D

Hey.............. only the earth has been played with!

cheers, DL

[DoubleChevron]

I've got a clisby compressor I bought new about 20years ago... I didn't file it's earth pin down 'cos I didn't want to stuff my waranty ...................................... Yeah I just replaced it with a 10amp plug so I could swap the original back on if I ever had an issue. 20years later it's had 1/2 dozen oil changes, and the filters cleaned a few dozen times..... and that's it, not even the belt tightened.

bloody good stuff those old aussie made compressors (even the electric motor is made here).

Couple of years ago we had a big flood, council claimed it was a one in a hundred years event. Two weeks later we had another one. Fastest century I ever saw. :cool:

[vnx205]

The description of an event as "a hundred year event" doesn't mean there will only be one of them a century.

For an explanation of why that is the case, read one of the following.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100-year_flood
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_period
Why do 100 year events happen so often?: Australia's Record Rainfall: Rainfall Events: Design Rainfalls: Water Information: Bureau of Meteorology (http://www.bom.gov.au/water/designRainfalls/rainfallEvents/why100years.shtml)
