Cross posting in Prison

    A long long time ago I was in prison, and I could only reply to the threads I created... I now see people can reply to other peoples threads in Prison. Almost their own community (awwwwwwww). Is this intentional, or an oversight, after an upgrade?

    Perhaps you should get yourself site banned again so you can join in.

    Maybe you should have stopped and asked for directions.

    I think this was intentional and happened some time ago. Only sitebanned users can post on Prison. And a couple of other anomolies..

    Maybe you could request "hand holding", as a new Subscriber feature.

    I think it probably is an oversight. I'm not sure its a good idea to allow to chatter amongst themselves.

    I think that it could actually end up turning into a forum for general chat rather than prison, or a 'community' as the OP said.

    Plus taking away the ability to post in other threads will be funny for the first while as they all complain.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    I also recommend that we turn on captcha and security questions for all new threads in Prison.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,919 ✭✭✭Bob the Builder


    I think only Pighead, RoundyMooney, Smods and Admins should be allowed cross post... and some of the 'tards that get sitebanned can't even spell the captchas, so it's a pointless venture... actually, wait a sec, if that stops them from posting, thats great....


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


    Remove all bbcode aswell

    They can youtube o_O


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,555 ✭✭✭✭AckwelFoley

    Oh and make it so that all their text appears under the spoiler tag for epic annoyance :D

    Spoiler tag combined with strike through.

    A legend is what it is! Seeing some of the antiquated troll posts they roll out, ah it brings a tear to the eye... *sniff* Letting Pighead in was a stroke of Genius by the way, that's with a capital G as it's such a capital idea. I think that paedo fellow even manged a fifty hitler post... ah the memories...

    Only really noticed it when manTime did it. The others usually grow tired of prison quickly, and f**k off, but manTime seems to stay. Odd.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,693 ✭✭✭Jack Sheehan


    I think when you post in there you should be given an arbitrary maths test. Like, say I get sitebanned and want to post 'All Boardsies are Pedrophiles!'.

    When I try to post that a box should come up saying 'Whats the square root of 256?'. A timer would be nice aswell.

    Well it is manTime in fairness, he's hardly the brightest.

    Well before it was cleaned up, im nearly sure prisoners were posting in other peoples threads after when you said it was disabled - unless I misunderstood what you changed?
