Hi guys.
Could one of you moderators have a chat to M0nty about unbanning me from match day chat.
I love having a talk during game day.
I was banned for giving bogus info. But unfortunately for me, I thought I was actually not giving bogus info. I actually thought Abletts super coach was high compared to his DT.
I am severely colorblind, medical fact. And sometimes struggle seeing colors at a glance. Especially shades. So I forgot I had Ablett as captain. So the points were doubled, and at 25 dt - 50 sc is not really out of the question for Ablett, lets be honest. I made a rookie mistake and I get that.
But Ive been banned for 3 weeks now.
Kinda feel a little bit unhappy I was banned for a legitimate mistake in the first place, let alone the fact you are unable to email monty any longer to voice yourself. But I just thought, meh. I did break the rules.
Be great if I could join back in......
I'm just a forum Mod, but best to contact through here or leave a message like this so he can see and make up his mind.
Seems like an honest mistake, but I have no power over there so best of luck Drak.
I tried to jump on chat the other week for the first time in like 2 years.
I was banned apparently
I was banned before being banned was cool

Yeh valk is a chat mod.
Dudge was banned 3 years ago for calling m0nty Mandy as a joke and in the context of a joke but the boss wasn't happy.
How do you know if you are banned from chat?

you know when you cant chat in chat
I can't make comments either.
You can just make a new account. ;)
Pretty poor form from m0nty though, some of our top contributors can't even chat. :(

I immediately thought of Mandy from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. :P
Loved that cartoon.
Lets not get this too far off topic please :).
I've only ever been banned for stuff I didn't do. I'm innocent, I tell ya!

m0nty, you have no flowering morals. You cannot let this ar\sehole and his mates get away with this kinda crap ..
I quote from the chat log ... jvalles69: they boo goods because he is the worst recipient of aussie of the year
When challenged on racism, he speaks of scientists.
Well flower that, and flower you!
To be fair and not knowing the context of that statement, he WAS the worst recipient of Aussie of the year
I got banned like 2-3 years ago I think :o .. don't think I can get on there now ?
I got banned for refering to a Simpsons episode ..where principal Skinner says "quick nibbles chew through my ballsack" as in he was tied up in a ballsack not a ballsack if you know what I mean. Was worthy of a ban but 2-3 years ?
I will say this only once (and won't respond)
There are 2 outcomes from the banhammer.... Perma Bans and Weekly Bans.
Perma Ban - Banned for ever
Weekly Ban - Banned for rest of the round.
Weekly bans will be lifted just before the first game of the next round. Easiest way to not get banned is to stay on topic and dont post shower.
Fair enough but for Dudge to be banned for life for saying Mandy instead of Monty is a little over the top and for the record he was on topic just the incorrect name which was a joke there was no malice it we all know Dudge and the respect he carries for the site.
Crazy to see him rubbed out for life 3-4 has been long enough. Rant over.

No one should be banned forever, seasonally is long enough.
There is clearly another kind of ban, that goes more than a round and less than forever.
Here's the message I get at the moment ...
You have been banned from the FanFooty game chat for a week or two (at the discretion of m0nty).
FanFooty will ban you if you abuse the chat by swearing, making racist remarks, insulting other posters, posting bogus injury information, or ignoring the football game.
These rules are in place to ensure a friendly, football-focused chat environment. If you can't handle that, that is your problem.
If you think you can abide by these rules and you want to get reinstated, please email m0nty@fanfooty.com.au.
Clearly, a ban can be at least a week or two ...
When you can provide a clearer statement that is correct, please post again, valk!
PS, I believe that my last ban went across at least 3 rounds - I rather expect this one to be similar ...
I see the racists are out in force again tonight - NewFreoFan a classic
I love that "I'm not a racist, but ..." line. No one ever used that before!

I am not unbanned - I guess you are wrong, valk!
Since you say you will not respond, I wonder if anyone else is ready to be as categorically wrong?
Here's a reminder ... from the chat rules ...
"Please do not try to conduct an ongoing discussion with mods about who should be banned, or about banning policies. There is a Feedback forum (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/board,8.0.html) for such discussions."
This is where that discussion takes place, so refusing to have that discussion does seem to be abrogating part of the mods responsibility ...

On one hand I see your point. On the other we know what FF chat is like compared to the boards. Who gives a flower?

yeah, let's just let people be massive cows cause there's heaps of dickheads out in force.
No need for name calling please! Can get frustrating but hopefully queries are seen to shortly.

I'm not calling anyone names lol, I don't even go on chat- I was just pointing out that it's not really a valid argument :P
Just unban everyone and start again imo. Those that are bad enough to get life bans won't take long haha. And especially as some people get banned for things that happened such a long time ago :(

That's the thing PB, " such a long time ago " agree wholeheartedly. You pinch a mars bar, and you may as well have committed grand larceny. Either way I probably wouldn't go back on chat anyway. It's down to principle 4 years later

Seems really silly the way it's been handled
Almost childish
Don't even know how to get on/ use chat #thuglyf

There are plenty of other places to chat that aren't full of cows. With FF Chat you know what you're getting into in the first place. I don't hold that against the chat mods, they just can't stand against the tide of cows who use the chat.

Exactly the same story this week - you are wrong valk, and I deserve a reply.
Maybe you are banned forever?
