How do I find out which moderator subjected me to an unwarranted banning from even reading the forum for allegedly "celebrating crashes" after Cavendish exited the Tour?

Did you get banned for using the emoji feature or something?

why? are you going to get revenge?
share your 'allegedly" offending post here?

That's funny. I thought he meant he got banned for just reading the forum, not that he couldn't read it while banned. 😁

Why? To better understand the moderation matrix, of course. Because my post, to the best of my recollection, was:

"At least he'll [Cavendish] get a sympathy bump now. It's not like he was going to win a stage anyway."

Once I learn who banned me for the above, I can then ask them to explain specifically what the problem was, so that I can avoid such issues going forward.

Me too. Or, more specifically; for liking a supposedly offensive post.

What about my post was unclear/confusing? The order of the words "from" and "for"? Just curious.

I think it might have been early when I read it... English is hard!

Fair enough. And it's even harder when you try to read from your phone off the nightstand after just waking up, but you didn't bring your readers (glasses) to bed with you, so you're groggy and visually impaired lol

I don't think it was quite that early... I just sometimes forget how to English, okay?

I'm guessing if it was somebody other than cavendish you wouldn't have gotten banned.

Obviously wishing it on Vingo is ok, as was proven yesterday. Post was just removed. Selective moderation at it's best.

Not to speak for them but:
-there are only a couple of mods
-mods might have jobs and families too

Use the report button! If a post is 'inappropriate' for whatever reason, report it so that the mods for sure see it. I report spam at least once a day, and it usually disappears pretty quickly. I also report clinic talk/insinuation whenever I see it, just in case they don't.

As should be. It was the kind of post that could be actually wishing bad luck, or could simply be dark humour.

Wishing. Truly dangerous,

Every time Logic gets banned, I become more and more worried that he could be permanently banned one day. He is probably the biggest and most reasonable expert on any individual rider.

It says banned instead of his name crossed out, doesn’t that mean permanent or is it the other way around?

I think name crossed out is permanent, but you could also probably ban someone for an incredibly long time without it being permanent.

Which rider is that?

Yeah, if you look in the "Intro Thread", there are posters whose last post were around 2020, but they're still banned.

Anyway, seems like what we have here is a case of someone not knowing the difference between stating that something could happen to a rider, and wishing that something would happen to a rider.

If you are referring to reasons for his ban, I think they have something to do with what he wrote in Remco thread. There seemed to be a lot of agression in that thread lately...

No.

Crossed out name is for a deactivated account. E.g. the OP of this thread, @BR2

Perma-ban is when it says banned, and you can't visit the profile page. E.g. some of those in the intro-thread like @Yohan

Temporary ban is when it says banned, and you can visit the profile page. E.g. @Logic-is-your-friend

There seems to be a lot of weird (possibly wrong) percentages in that thread. However, I don't think that's against the rules... I would have been perma-banned a long time ago if that was the case.

Oh, I just thought a deactivated account was a deactivated account, regardless of whether it was done by the poster, or by an admin.

I think the Mods need to rename this thread to something like Has Logic Been Banned Again?

(It's @joe_papp I feel sorry for, you'd think the law of diminishing returns would apply to Logic's bans but no, he's the most popular least popular poster ever. Try harder, Joe!)

wait till if Logic comes back after the Vuelta and Evenepoel won Worlds and Vuelta, would be gone in a day tops.
