    After being banned from after hours and personal issues, its time to think that certain opinions are not welcome on boards. Whether the individual and their style of thinking is not accepted into a community causes so many problems in the justice of our society, yet the stereotype is reinforced by the "numb skull" moderators of this website! Any similar experiences are welcome on this thread if not don't post! Its about time someone post on this thread who thinks on my wavelenght and not a moderator who thinks on a specific sprectrum and doesn't appreciate the thoughts no matter how manifested of others!
    Boards.ie
    One question, does free speech mean you get banned for saying something that is in a rule that denies the right to free speech?
    If so, have in your charter: "free speech on this site is limited". Get honest and real with yourself and your users! It's like you want the perfect small, dark haired, computer nerd race on your site!

    The admins have never advertised boards as a bastion of free speech. ever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,258 ✭✭✭✭Rabies


    upthere, do a search about this. There have a been a few similar threads over the years.

    Certain things are not allowed on Boards and therefore locked/censored. Repeat offenders get a ban.

    I don't know why you were banned, but did you ask the mod of each forum?

    Have a nice day. Enjoy the lovely posts that follow.

    So why are you still here? Free speech is not and never will be part of what boards is about. Do you think you're the first muppet to get up in arms about being banned? Please...

    Clear you are not smart enough to be allowed to have a boards.ie account and for your sake and the sake of everyone else I am hoping you will be site banned.

    Have a nice life.

    hullaballoo dunnit.
    Grow some manners. How would you like it if I called you a muppet? Muppet. See you in two months. Or rather, when you sign up your account to complain about the injustice of this ban.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,231 ✭✭✭✭Sparky

    So you are saying that you have only one thing on your mind and the mods have a whole spectrum of thoughts? Yeah, I think you're right.

    Last night, I warned this person in two different PI threads, and when they seemed to be quiet, I headed off to bed. But lo and behold, I miss all the craic.

    Thanks to whoever gave the siteban. Much appreciated.

    OP- if you express an opinion based on life experience, or which the majority of the population of the country/world share, expect a banning. There are a fierce amount of people on these boards with zero life experience, and you have to abide by their interpretations of unwritten rules not to be banned. Id name these members, only Id be banned myself (yis know who you are, Ive had words :) ) Particularly the liars..... :)

    Actually, if you go to a boards beer and become mates with certain people who talk completely retarded utter sh1te and plain bare faced lies on forums such as AH, Politics and Humanities, usually in relation to political issues, it basiaclly exempts you from bannage no matter how outlandish your posts are, or how obvious your lies are. Also, please be aware that talking sh1te on things you may have not a clue about (such as drugs, politics, religion etc etc) is encouraged, as long as the viewpoint is completely out field from anyone who has a clue what theyre on about. Please remember to chastise these members for being out of touch, ignorant, bigoted or ...eh....sensible.

    It also gives you permission to direct personal abuse without fear of being banned (even though its bannable for most members). Im all for mods such as ahem, X, being abusive to posters like they regularly do, as long as we can do the same. The personal abuse rule is simply a cloak for **** to hide behind.

    So get to the oul beerfest lad.

    Indeed, get to the beerfests. Of course Tha Gopher here doesn't have the stones to do it or more than likely isn't old enough to purchase a beer. But hey, that's fight the powa merchants for you. All talk, no balls.
