    Anything annoy you about the place?

    If I had my way I'd let swear words be used without censorship in more light-hearted fora. I'd also like to see a greater diversity in opinions tbh, a lot of people in here seem to agree with each other a bit too often (:pac:). Oh, and I'd ban the term "PC brigade", stupid term. An instant messaging service would be good craic as well, I'm sure it'd get a bit creepy though :rolleyes:

    What would you like to see changed/brought in? :)

    I'd get rid of all the users that I don't like or disagree with me, I'd be the only person left.

    To be able to check the last thanks you receive.

    I hate those phantom thanks.

    Oh and to get paid 10 cents per post.

    You'd leave it where? If you are leaving it one place, where is everything going to go?

    Put a quota on the number of daily posts per poster and watch the number of posts on Personal Issues shoot up.

    I'd like to have the ability to kill people simply by clicking a button beside their username.

    We had a place for that called the thunderdome but we're not allowed talk about that anymore. Like the alcoholic /drug addict uncle it's not to be mentioned.

    I'd install stricter regulations on what can and cannot be posted, I find myself often highly offended at posts in threads.

    It would also cut down on a lot of wasted PM's.

    I'd get rid of the thanks function.

    Makes it populist and encourages thanks whores.

    Sometimes you read a post and you just know that, inside, that poster is screaming, "thank me!"

    But the PC Brigade just nicely sums up the essence of bland progressive group think. Perhaps the phrase that might replace it, Social Justice Warriors, would do instead?

    What annoys me is half the time quoted posts don't appear in your CP, then six months later you're reading a thread and see where somebody quoted you.

    So about those 400 odd posts you thanked then?
