AM I a Troll

    All,

    A couple of months ago i joined Boards.ie Posting a topic on do other guys wear pyjamas. As a newbie i posted in a few forums that i considered were relavant to the topic , ie Fashion and appearance, social and Personal, And the Waterford forum. I was imediatly shut down without a chance of many replies. As a result i was told i was trolling. This term i didnt understand. I have tried to post the same today as all my threads are closed and again by the same admin i was shut down.

    Is there no open discussion allowed on this board. My question was about an item of Clothing "mens pyjamas". There was nothing harmfull or bad content in relation to this subject. i just wanted opinion as some mates laugh when they see me in pjs and take the mick. just needed to know that i was not the only guy out there that wears them.

    However due to the censorship of this site i may not be able to seek opinion. And i will be surprised if this thread is not closed before i get any replies.

    SO THANKS FOR LISTENING- THIS MAY BE MY LAST POST- SHOT DOWN IN MY PJS

    Lol! At least he's funny if he's a troll :)

    edit: This should probably be in feedback...

    You should've posted just one thread, probably on Fashion/Appearance.
    Creating multiple threads on the same topic across several forums is frowned upon.

    I once shot an elephant in my PJs. How he got in my PJs I'll never know.

    yeah..the mods can be very trigger happy/ dictator like in their work!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 890 ✭✭✭patrickolee


    Why is he a troll? ... and yes I wear pyjamas, although I find it hard to spell and would never do it in public!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,485 ✭✭✭Thrill


    You only need to create one thread on the subject and if it's in the wrong forum it will be moved to the appropriate one.

    bluestripe11, this is a privately owned board and by registering you become a guest and must obey the rules and the moderators of boards.

    You have less than 20 posts and everyone of them is asking for what people think of PJs.

    Ex 1 http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/archive/index.php/t-2055095693.html
    Ex 2 http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055079848

    Quit your trolling moaner. :P

    Hey OP, it just looked like you were taking the piss, what with every one of your posts got to do with pyjamas and spread over three forums. Just posting about them in one forum will do.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    OP, do you honestly expect to be taken seriously when you appear to have an obsession with pyjamas?

    It definitely isn't trolling which is adopting a position which you don't believe in in order to get a response and implies that the troll is insulting someone.

    The three questions seem legitimate to me:

    Waterford - Am I a normal Deishan
    Fashion- Are PJs making a comeback
    After Hours- An innocuous question looking for answers

    I sometimes wear pajamas but find that they constrict the nether region and as a result usually kick the bottoms off during the night.

    You have to remember that boards is privately owned (not by the moderators) and one can be banned for pretty much anything.

    That said it could be argued that boards is like a club in which case the reason must be predictable and consistent.

    If I wasn't banned from Feedback I would have moved this thread there.

    Bluestripe11 I tried to take your poll but there is no option for 'Top Only'.

    As nearly 35% of male boards users wear some sort of PJ combination (not counting Top Only which was unavailable) it might be worthwhile to seek a Pajamas Forum.

    The link above will help.

    I don't actually agree he is trolling, three threads, pretty polite, just a weird interest.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Trolling? Maybe, maybe not. But posting the same message across multiple boards, that's a spamming. ;)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 16,397 ✭✭✭✭Degsy


    here's another..if he aint atroll he's a weirdo..maybe post in sexa nd sexualitycatpjs.jpg

    How is it maybe trolling? How could it be trolling. You say 'maybe, maybe not' where's the maybe?

    Considering the fact that I warned him last April about this and yet he's back again doing the same thing, trolling is exactly what I'd call it.

    OP - you need to join up with katiemac and propose a clothes fetish S & S sub-forum.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,113 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    'What is your worst pair' lol!
    I just think trolling has to be on purpose and I doubt that he understands how boards works. Just my opinion of how it looks.
    I'll let him explain his case!

    Given that you reserve the right to ban any user at any stage for any reason and none there can be no such thing as an unjustified ban. Bans require no justification (as you understand it).

    The question of trolling must be addressed seperately from the mere threat of a ban.

    Just because you threatened to ban bluestripe11 if he didn't stop talking about pajamas doesn't make him a troll. He isn't a troll and your saying he is doesn't make him one.

    On the other hand you could legitimately ban him for talking about pajamas given that you had told him that he would be banned if he continued to talk about them.

    This would not be banning someone for trolling but rather for getting stuck in a stupidity filter.

    So, OP, what's the interest in pyjamas? Is it a fashion statement or a way of life - or is it life itself?

    I don't think that you are a troll, you are simply on a global quest, searching for your niche forum.

    What does the term Googling mean?

    To type keywords into google looking for documents that contain a piece of information?

    What do the words 'not everyone is used to the internet mean'?

    I have to say i was surprised to see that thread locked too. If the person wants to talk about pyjamas I don't see why that should be a problem. Even if that's all the person wants to talk about.

    Why not open a pyjama thread in all forums so.....


    He opened several threads across several different forums about pyjamas despite being warned to refrain from doing so? The thread that was placed in F&A, where it should have been IMO, is still open. Don't see what the fuss is really. Learn from it, move on and enjoy boards OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,281 ✭✭✭regi


    Some people like to stereotype boards users as being obsessed about single issues. Go and talk about something else and prove me wrong? Please?
