    I only have like 3 posts there, I just read it for news sometimes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,801 ✭✭✭✭Kojak


    Well, it may or may not be obvious but I use the same name here as on Sin.

    Sin has started the downward spiral for me. It was the first message board site I registered for and now I am registered on 6 sites - and this is my final year in college. oh how I am f**ked.

    I think I'm MobileInfantry there as well. Either that, or Havok, or Kharn.

    Well. Actually a few choices there! Only posted about 5 times over entire year. :D

    Believe.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 127 ✭✭arac


    today if you make a grammatical error like "look over their" instead of "look over there" they will lock it for going off topic...who the **** are they to say anyways what should be on or off topic!!!!!:mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,323 ✭✭✭wet-paint


    Mods. That's who. Granted the power to deal out rough justice from an uncaring God, we are the Marshalls who are unto a Law ourselves.

    Bravestarr!

    Just spent a while over there today whilst dossing in work. Seems like the place is living on life-support. I'm all for strict modding but jebus it's gotten out of hand there!

    Was there a law-suit or the threat of one or wtf happened?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,048 ✭✭✭Amazotheamazing


    Think it's just approaching the end of it's life cycle. Really bad attitude from the mod's to simple mistakes.

    I just hate to see it like that, SIN was the first net community I was part of and I met some great people there.

    Paddy, I think the problem has become the definition of spam over on the SIN site. From what I can see, anything that's ever been discussed before gets locked, anything that even looks like a tangent gets locked, anything that doesn't amuse a mod or looks the slightest bit whimsical, gets locked etc.

    Message boards will self-moderate to a certain degree. If it's a crap thread it'll die naturally. Moderators should only be stepping in when things get out of hand imho.

    And if you want to see what REAL spam looks like: www.oxegen.ie *shudder*


  • Posts: 8,647 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Paddy.You were good craic in the student bar today although i was dissapointed you and liam didnt get it on.Well any other events organised for the week that will be good craic.Think i seen you outside cuba.Was it you perchance?

    I retired my account a while back. It got to a stage where there were some people so trenchantly moronic, no amount of mocking could suffice.

    And then there's those who keep on hanging around, years after any tenuous reason to use them had passed. Like an alumnus paedo hanging around the school gates in a trenchcoat.

    The locking on Sin these days is just insane! One idiot has to say something not completely got to do with the topic and its locked. I can't stand to use those boards anymore. It has become ridiculous in the last three years or so.:mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20 I shot...


    on the boards of sin, i go by the name of i shot the prom queen. i think sin will really improve when the old vanguard eventually bugger off.

    exactly, and us newer members with low postcouns, or "n00bs" as we are sometimes affectionately called can actually have a conversation without having to put up with condescending crap from the old farts who can't let go.
