Title: Ebay moderators, lack of understanding & bias suspensions.
Post by: *Ubbie Max* on June 17, 2009, 02:00:19 PM: I just got slapped for posting the following comment on the RT Reunion thread.

"I am disgusted with Ebay for suspending lionrose during these trying times she is experiencing at this moment.
It also proves that the Ebay moderators either don't read the reported threads, don't understand Australian
English or don't care. It is now obvious to me that Ebay has no humanity. Ebay has stooped to
a new low."

I was slapped for "Discussion or reposting of deleted posts or discussion of those who are no
longer registered members."

It is further proof that the moderators do not understand English, as the main gist of this post was expressing disgust & commenting on the moderators lack of comprehension & understanding of the English language.

I stand by the above comments.

Post by: *smee* on June 17, 2009, 02:13:13 PM: I would send an email of the full details to Shane with a please explain
I have had dealings with him when a particular member was reporting just about every post of mine for no reason ( on the old forums ). I received a number of slaps for comments which did not breach the forum rules which is futher proof that they do not read the posts or the context of the post prior to issuing the slap.
The end result was the malicious button pusher was sent to eBali for a 5 days or a week , and my slaps were removed , shane kept me informed via emails and was most helpful. Thankfully the BP is not a member of this forum as far as I have seen.

You didn't ask for it. That was a freebie from eBay.

Keep up the good neck work!

Post by: Poddy on June 17, 2009, 09:28:43 PM: Ubb, your post would have been reported by the same scum who did the number on Rosie.

Just one more clue as to who the scum is, it is the same modus operendi as the creep with a 1000 ids.

The Toxic Crew operate in that fashion. Bruiser, Dognut, Doofus, Ox G, Moogoo and a few other disciples have always worked in that way.

Their latest creation is the Saint of Barbwire, SOB does not exist Sob is a construct, a focal point, a diversion.

SOB is most likely a shared ID with the script written bu one or 2 of the Toxic Crew that two is nothing new as in Monty_Outback of some time ago

Complaints to Shane are like 'Skin off a ducks back' to quote Dognut.

All the above are are gutless yet they have some hold over eBay

Rosie will be back in a week

Title: Re: Ebay moderators, lack of understanding & bias suspensions.
Post by: *Ubbie Max* on June 17, 2009, 09:58:37 PM: It sure is Coco. there are 24 points to psychopathic behaviour. I can't remember them but killing someone is not a requirement to being a psychopath.
Title: Re: Ebay moderators, lack of understanding & bias suspensions.
Post by: coco on June 17, 2009, 10:06:13 PM: I was reading somewhere that there is at least one psychopath in every workplace. I think I've met a few over the years. LOL. Bit scary and frustrating though trying to deal with them.

I wonder what if must be like to be in their heads. SHUDDER!!!!

Title: Re: Ebay moderators, lack of understanding & bias suspensions.
Post by: coco on June 17, 2009, 10:21:33 PM: Just to make it clear I am NOT inferring that any eBay moderator is a psychopath. To the contrary.

I am wondering about the mindset of people in general who pounce on people especially when they are down.

I hope Lionrose is OK and send her much love light and blessings. With a spirit like hers she is bound to beat her illness.

I dare not risk losing my house and car, for posting centuries old adjectives for adult fornication.

Operative 2: Favourite shampoo?

Operative 3: (impatiently) Yes. Favourite shampoo.

Operative 2: I - I -

Operative 1: Yes? or no? Answer Operative 3 now!

Operative 2: No.

Operative 3: Did you hear that, Operative 1? Operative 2 cheeked me.

Operative 2: No, no, I didn't! I just forgot about the shampoo.

Operative 1: All right, all right. We can find out later. We'll send in a crack team at midnight and interrogate the asset using pentathol. But did you at least find any evidence of the use of weedkillers?

Operative 2: Possibly, sir. The subject does have a garden shed, and in it are bottles of moss-killer. According to our secret files, things that kill moss also kill weeds.

Operative 1: So... the subject has Bottles of Moss Destruction...

Title: Re: Ebay moderators, lack of understanding & bias suspensions.
Post by: Poddy on June 18, 2009, 07:23:34 PM: Imp,

I still buy the occasional item but at a level that is about 5% of what I used to buy.

As far as selling is concerned that stopped altogether, and I might add that my sales were not insubstantial.

As far as using the eBay forum is concerned it is a rare occasion when I venture there.

The only forum they had that was worthwhile was the RT and now that has met it's demise.
There is still one thread on Commie Spirit that perhaps worth a visit and that is the RT Reunion thread.

The situation has not changed with the demise of the RT, in fact it has got worse.

The Toxic Crew have invaded even that thread, it is pathetic to see them trying use their old tactics and when their tactics are ignored the run rampant with the report button.

You are, no doubt, aware of their recent all time low achievement reporting Rosie's posts and getting her an eBali holiday.

Still, in the eyes of some people, eBay moderations and sanctions are 'fair and just'.

One has to wonder if those people are not deficient in some of their attributes, don't you think?

Title: Re: Ebay moderators, lack of understanding & bias suspensions.
Post by: Poddy on June 18, 2009, 07:42:43 PM: Just to jog your memory Riff.

Riff, cast your mind back to the time when you decided to leave this forum, do you remember this dialogue between myself and dargent007?
In light of the below do you still maintain that there was no dictatorship on the eBay RT and that it was fair and equitable for all posters?
dargent007 and his disciples were the cause of many an unjust sanction, not only that but some were made NARU at the hands of that crew.

OK dargent007

One question

Think hard before you answer

Did you or did you not email friends of yours to post what you told them to post?

Yes or no

Yes!
Title: Re: Ebay moderators, lack of understanding & bias suspensions.
Post by: RiffRaff on June 18, 2009, 07:48:56 PM: Who gives a rats poddy. All I maintain is that I can post anything I like on eBay and if I'm in breach of eBays policy, I'll get slapped.

Somebody telling their friends to post when asked, has nothing to do with an eBay dictatorship......whatever the hell that is??

Who gives a rats poddy. All I maintain is that I can post anything I like on eBay and if I'm in breach of eBays policy, I'll get slapped.

Would you like to explain to me how it comes about the even if a poster is NOT in violation of eBay Policy they get slapped silly?

Would you say that it was fair and equitable to a poster who receives an unjust sanction without eBay even looking at what was posted and was simply reported out of malice?
It seems as thought eBay, like you, dont give a rats either.

Take a look at the case of Rosie of a couple of days ago.

Now you may not give a rats but I would venture to say that Rosie does and all the other unjustly slapped posters do, and I happen to give a rats as well.
Title: Re: Ebay moderators, lack of understanding & bias suspensions.
Post by: RiffRaff on June 18, 2009, 08:44:21 PM: Poddy. I don't give a rats about your dialogue with dargent.

That has nothing to do with Rosey.

If you want to argue a point, make the point, don't make it up as you go along.
Title: Re: Ebay moderators, lack of understanding & bias suspensions.
Post by: imperfect on June 18, 2009, 08:50:37 PM: Boy, oh boy....

Of course Riff cares abut Lion, we all do Poddy..he is entitled to his opinion..why cant he have it without either you or Cuepie getting stuck into him??? if you didn't want him back, why was he?

How do you know that Lion's posts weren't in violation? I copped a few slaps that night and are still trickling though..they can be appealed though.

Babs has had two holidays in concession for bagging this forum, is that not fair?

I'm so tired of this..
Title: Re: Ebay moderators, lack of understanding & bias suspensions.
Post by: Poddy on June 18, 2009, 09:02:15 PM: Riff would you like to take this difference of opinion to the fountain or somewhere else?

On another occasion you we very concerned that it was in the public eye and now you seem to be at odds with what you were concerned about on that occasion.
Title: Re: Ebay moderators, lack of understanding & bias suspensions.
Post by: RiffRaff on June 18, 2009, 09:10:15 PM: Why take it somewhere else Poddy? If you're concerned about something you have to say, I'm sure the people here will let you know if they don't like it.

But......up to you, I don't care either way.

Title: Re: Ebay moderators, lack of understanding & bias suspensions.
Post by: the guv on June 18, 2009, 09:29:53 PM: There is nothing equal or fair with the eBay forum - there will never be !!

There is definitly no need for us to sqabble about it - we must just accept it - and modify our "behaviour" [Tactics] accordingly.

They have lowly paid contract moderators in faraway lands whose only purpose in life IS simplly number crunching reports - if they get behind with their "moderating" numbers they get to find a new job - its that simple.

Now that the Canadians are gone - it will only get worse.

A visit to even our "better" Aussie call centres will soon confirm this.
Even a call to our beloved Telstra will give you the message quickly.

These "eBay moderators" have no time to check the inuendo - or consult their latest copy of the Strine Idiom Dictionary.- or even thier Oxford or Websters - their job is to act ..and act quickly !!

Then onto the next.

Obviously if a number of Aussie eBay posters have reported the SAME POSTS - Those posts must be naughty,obscene,insulting,confrontational ......... or break some eBay rule.edict,direction or understanding.

So there is no time for the why and wherefor analysis - its a quick pull it !!

......and let somebody else sort out unfair from justified.

The d & b Brigade worked this out way back - and still use it successfully ..

So MANY reports of the same posts MUST be more effective than one ;D

It is no use agueing the rights or wrongs of the moderators on the eBay boards.

We all KNOW that Rosies eBay holiday was unjust .
But it was well orchestrated by the gang - and that is the reason it happened.

At least at present and recently there has been a process of appeal against strikes .

Lets be more careful out there RTers ....and learn from them :potstir:

;D :t2:

Post by: Poddy on June 18, 2009, 09:34:24 PM: Suit your self Riff, but don't let it be said that you were not given the opportunity.

I was more concerned about saving you from embarrassment.

Barny, if you follow this thread from the top, it's blatantly obvious that poddy was effectively gagged last night.

Absolutely......... shutdown.

Now let us address the above statement.

Why would you assume that because I did not respond any further to you that I had been, as you put it ‘gagged, Absolutely......... shutdown.’

Here is what I said in post #8 of that thread

Riff,

I notice that you have neatly side stepped answering my question, so I will put it to you again and just leave it at that.

Riff I have to wonder what mileage you hope to gain by your implying that I was ‘gagged’ and that that practice is carried out here.

And now on this thread you have again made the insinuation of 'gagging'

At least on eBay Poddy, you don't have Big Sister telling you what you can and can't post.

Can you tell me who you are referring to as 'Big Sister' and why?

Post by: RiffRaff on June 18, 2009, 10:55:42 PM: Suit your self Riff, but don't let it be said that you were not given the opportunity. Heavens above, I would never suggest that.

I was more concerned about saving you from embarrassment. I have nothing to be embarrassed about

Barny, if you follow this thread from the top, it's blatantly obvious that poddy was effectively gagged last night.

Absolutely......... shutdown.

Now let us address the above statement.

Why would you assume that because I did not respond any further to you that I had been, as you put it ‘gagged, Absolutely......... shutdown.’ Because you ask lots of questions Poddy, that you think you know the answer to.

Here is what I said in post #8 of that thread

Riff,

I notice that you have neatly side stepped answering my question, so I will put it to you again and just leave it at that.

Riff I have to wonder what mileage you hope to gain by your implying that I was ‘gagged’ and that that practice is carried out here. I'm fond of the truth

And now on this thread you have again made the insinuation of 'gagging'

At least on eBay Poddy, you don't have Big Sister telling you what you can and can't post.

Can you tell me who you are referring to as 'Big Sister' and why? Really, you don't know? Nobody ever stops you saying what you think? There's no feud going on between you and another person in authority on this forum?

Quote
Mr Vibrating: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.

Man: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'

Mr Vibrating: Yes it is!

Man: No it isn't!

Man: Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes.

(short pause)

Mr Vibrating: No it isn't.

Man: It is.

Mr Vibrating: Not at all.

Man: Now look.

Mr Vibrating: (Rings bell) Good Morning.

Man: What?

Mr Vibrating: That's it. Good morning.

Man: I was just getting interested.

Mr Vibrating: Sorry, the five minutes is up.

Man: That was never five minutes!

Mr Vibrating: I'm afraid it was.

Man: It wasn't.

(Pause)

Mr Vibrating: I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to argue anymore.

Man: What?!

Mr Vibrating: If you want me to go on arguing, you'll have to pay for another five minutes.

Man: Yes, but that was never five minutes, just now. Oh come on!

Mr Vibrating: (Hums)

Man: Look, this is ridiculous.

Mr Vibrating: I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid!

Man: Oh, all right.

(pays money)

Mr Vibrating: Thank you. (short pause)

Man: Well?

Mr Vibrating: Well what?

Man: That wasn't really five minutes, just now.

Mr Vibrating: I told you, I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid.

Man: I just paid!

Mr Vibrating: No you didn't.

Man: I DID!

Mr Vibrating: No you didn't.

Man: Look, I don't want to argue about that.

Mr Vibrating: Well, you didn't pay.

Man: Aha. If I didn't pay, why are you arguing? I Got you!

Mr Vibrating: No you haven't.

Man: Yes I have. If you're arguing, I must have paid.

Mr Vibrating: Not necessarily. I could be arguing in my spare time.

... and so on.

But as far as I can make out, the topic here is unfair sanctioning by eBay moderators. Take a "for" or "against" position on that in relation to Lady Rose's week-long sanctioning. As I didn't see the posts which caused the sanctioning, perhaps someone could quote them here...?

Post by: Poddy on June 18, 2009, 11:53:00 PM: My last post on this matter just so that you wont think that a gag has been applied.

I have nothing to be embarrassed about
I reserve the right to remind you of that statement at some time in the future.

Because you ask lots of questions Poddy, that you think you know the answer to.
Yes I do. Perhaps that is the reason that you sidestep giving answers to my questions

I'm fond of the truth
Again I reserve the right to remind you for that

Really, you don't know?
No, how about enlightening me.

Nobody ever stops you saying what you think?
No one ever has and no one ever will

There's no feud going on between you and another person in authority on this forum?
No, and by that question you are hoping to insinuate that there is.

I'm fond of the truth
Again I reserve the right to remind you for that No problem

Really, you don't know?
No, how about enlightening me. Yes you do

Nobody ever stops you saying what you think?
No one ever has and no one ever will In relation to this forum, that is not true

There's no feud going on between you and another person in authority on this forum?
No, and by that question you are hoping to insinuate that there is. Are you so desperate to hold on to your position here that you deny it?
