The evil boards that never will be...

    ... well, unless things change drastically in modland!

    Do you ever find youself dreaming up replies to posts and finding them really witty and cool even though they're clearly against the charter or would really offend people too much? Not obvious insults like "you're a loser" or whatever but more subtle put downs or responses?

    I suspect there's a whole mirror universe of boards out there that only exists in people's heads and that will never come to be because the can't-be-doing-that filter breaks in!

    (Oh zomg, so many evil, unsaid responses at me atm, right? :D)

    Simu is a total ***********************!

    Yes.. that's right... 23 asterixes! It takes 23 to block that one out... Your puny human minds can't begin to comprehend the severity of the insult.

    It involved that rodent you refer to as a cat, didn't it!

    Oh yeah! I went there....

    I can't belive that I counted them to make sure (or that Monkeyfudge did so too)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 955 ✭✭✭LovelyHurling


    YES. You snip away at what youd like to say until what was a Great Dane of a point becomes a whimpering Bichon Frise.

    I personally find the inability to curse a curtain on expressing my nature. But that mirror-boards would be a scary place. Imagine an internet lunatic asylum and youre close.

    I don't know. I'm imagining it atm and not sure whether it would be heaven or it could be hell. (or even the hotel California) o-O

    It's true, I often thought of what it would be like.
    Like when they show the evil version of the crew in Star trek, they all wear leather cloves and black, Freaky!

    Actually, on the flip side, I can remember flaming a newbie user's thread a couple of years back on After Hours. Poor git probably didn't deserve it, but I did one of those line-by-line idea mincers. If I look back over my time at boards.ie, it's the only post I ever made that I think about and cringe. I'm also pretty sure I wouldn't be let away with it now!

    /me goes off to look for thread

    [Edit] hehhehhehhe found it here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=97473&highlight=arrow

    I think what gets me most about this is that, when I was teenaged and angsty, the OP's original suggestion would have appealed to me in a big way. Yet still I slated him (as did everyone else)... and note, he didn't come back past that one post, bless him...

    I am the evil me... now if only I had the evil goatee to distinguish myself from my kinder, intelligent and more tolerant self

    I always thought that the mirror image of boards.ie was goatse... maybe not

    aw man that Elf idea was really cute! I'd send my younglings to it. Probably sofa king expensive I'd have to re-mortgage the house, but hey... LIFE SKILZ, man.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    Haha, thats not so bad minesajackdaniels, I was expecting much worse...

    I remember when I first starting posting over a year ago, I wandered into a thread where dahamsta was selling a mobile phone. I just posted saying something along the lines of "Lord that phone is crap", he responded, naturally, saying "oh fcuk off", and I keep posting going on about how crap it was....I look back on it now going good god, what an earth was I thinking....he didn't report it, and after several complete and utterly thread destroying comments, no mod seemed to notice, nor was it reported....how did I escape that one??

    Anyway.....:D

    I long for the day when speakers of Irish can be given the abuse they so richly deserve on these boards. But we'll always have tcal's comments pages...

    Ohh... that's hilarious.
    *is in tears laughing*

    Speaking of which, I like Irish.
    It's true you don't need it for collage though - who needs Irish for art?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,744 ✭✭✭Táck


    yes sometimes i think of mods in the same league as bouncers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,437 ✭✭✭Crucifix


    Many times I've written out a post then not posted it. Generally it's just because I realise it's not as funny as I originally thought.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,744 ✭✭✭Táck


    yeah only yesterday i composed a killer post that would of ended debate and put the sham back where they belong. but i said i'd edit it slgihtly so as the mod dictatorship wouldnt have any issues. in the end i just didnt bother.

    no point in putting a point across if its not the point you really want to put across!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 148 ✭✭bspoke


    I regularily go to the trouble of typing out essay style rebuttal posts only to delete them as a simple 'you're a loser' would convey so much more!

    Being a mod on another site I generally have to bite my tongue and not dish out some of my wittier and more telling put downs but every once In a while they sneek through and the thread generally ends straight away


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,045 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    I am sure there is a non evil verison of me out there somewhere, poor sap.
    A lot of the time I do show restrain but now and then well you just have to let them have it.
