Moderator in question - [BoT] Jack
I have received a formal board warning from the named moderator above for a post (detail below). The opening comment from Jack is off the back of another user suggesting using a Mac (implying using another system/operating system completely).

If you have a problem with the system he uses, then take it up in another topic. Do not spam this with your worthless opinions about the quality of a particular product.
You have been warned.
The response - which I have been warned for.

It's highly relevant given that the OP indicated s/he uses Vista (which everyone knows is a pile of proverbial horse manure). And since when was that person's opinion any less valuable than yours? You can be so full of it sometimes Jack - maybe this is just one of your bad days eh?
A further post from Zeratul offering good solid advise also concerning the use of an alternate OS as a solution can clearly be seen below.

To see how things work, it might work for you to test by getting a different OS on a USB stick or a CD/DVD, to see whether error is still there. Such external OS things tend to get their own drivers, so that might show solution. Nice thing with some of those external OSes is that you can test-run without installing it. If such works and the problem is still there, then the problem is probably in the keyboard itself.
Oh, and we'd suggest trying to follow General Riviera's suggestion first, as it is far simpler to do.
Now here's something Zeratul may find amusing.
Inbox message following the warning:

Warned as in warned to not continue. He asked for help with keyboard problems, replacing the OS is a ridiculous suggestion that does not suit the issue.
If one wants to help, they are allowed ' lulz Vista suckz' does not help.
Zeratul - I'm sorry, but your opinions are 'ridiculous'. Did you get a warning too?
Can I also ask why one grumpy moderator thinks that the opinions of others are also 'worthless'? That is a disgusting attitude.
I would like to request that the warning be revoked and also that Jack's position actually be looked into - he has demonstrated nothing but hasty click-happy inconsistency with his duties as someone who is supposed to be responsible. Nothing personal pal.
