Prison posts appearing on title screen

    Not sure if they always have, but I just logged onto the board and on the title screen, where it shows the latest posts on various forums, a thread in the Prison forum was listed. Is this normal? And if it is, should it not be changed, considering the nature of the majority of the prison forum threads?

    I'd imagine it's because prison was recently reactivated and quite a few people who are not banned have access to it.

    I think it is normal (once it was reactivated).

    I'd agree it should be changed.
    It can be a laugh reading the threads there especially knowing the history behind some of the bannings :D. There is also a lot of nasty stuff / abuse posted there though.

    It's not something that should appear on the front door of boards though imho.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,314 ✭✭✭Marcus.Aurelius


    I think the prison forum is hilarious. Pighead often posts there, (he has access for some reason) and it makes for good humour.

    I think it probably shouldn't be on the start page all the same, but that being said, it is very funny to read if you know some of the reasons behind the bannings.


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


    Pighead sneaks all the goodies in. But we turn a blind eye and all to that.

    I didn't even know the prison forum existed until I saw it on the home page. Some of the threads were good for a laugh, but there was some pretty nasty stuff posted there. Pighead is just hilarious though :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,560 ✭✭✭Wile E. Coyote


    I love reading the prison forum for a bit of comedy but i do agree that it shouldn't be on the front page as some of the posts can be very abusive.

    For this reason i propose that after someone's appeal has been denied their thread should be sent to the Thunderdome type forum where we can all enjoy a bit of banter with the inmates.

    Thunderdome posts have also been appearing iirc.

    Neither give those who visit the site a good impression.

    Totally agree. Imagine one of those posts was about asking a girl to loose her baby?!?!? Or wishing it upon her?!?!?!?!?!? I know that is a far flug theory but I think the point is good. Fair play to Rb for bringing it up.

    Wow, so you are only here to cause trouble. Reported and lets hope your next siteban is permanent.

    You fcuk up and no one is allowed mention it.

    Jigsaw fcuks up and it in your sig and you do up a wiki so it cant be forgotten.

    I said imagine. it was not like it was real. was it? :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,138 ✭✭✭takola


    This thread wasn't started so people could have a go at Rb. Rb I think you'd be best to ignore the comments rather than replying. No point in ending up in trouble too. That subject has been done to death.

    Haven't noticed the Thunderdome appearing on the front page. Think the prison forum did when it was active though.

    No, of course I don't, however the only reason it was brought up was to stirr shít. It's not up for discussion and has been sorted out months ago, we've all gotten on with things and I've privately settled the issue with Quality. By itself it looks awful, but when put into context it was understandable and hence dealt with. Likewise he's brought up shít in AH as well in an attempt to set people off.

    He's a silly little troll, that's all really, has not and will not have anything decent to contribute to anything here, has already been sitebanned and told to behave yet he can't so best off just permanently getting rid of him. That said, he seems to have been around for a while so I suppose he'll just re-reg again :(

    You recognise that he's a troll. Walk away. There's no point in replying. Seriously.

    Probably a good idea to remove prison posts from the front page, aye. The main reason would be due to spammers, however the nature of some of the stuff there would also bring credence to the idea of keeping the posts off the front page.

    Daithi McGee, you've turned this thread into a FAIL. I hereby award you one cat.

    funny-pictures-corporate-cat.jpg

    On topic, I don't mind new prison posts appearing on the front page - Prison forum is funny! :cool: I like reading the posts there. I only wish we could talk to the inmates.
    Shouldn't us normal folk have visitation rights?


  • Administrators, Business & Finance Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,957 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Toots


    Yes, but not conjugal visits mind you ;)
