Is boards becoming too PC, or dare I say a plastic bubble fantasy.

mysterious

Careful what you say now..... might get a smack... we are all kids. Follow the rules spick and span. We have new rule in about a week's time. You will have to learn the next set of rules. What will the next rule be? don't use suggestive language where you may suggest something honest, when others thinks its not honest or gee we need to look into this whole arena, to make it more like we are in control here.


Don't say the B, C, F words. Let the mod threaten you, even if they don't agree with you? Sit and take it or we wil get our terms and conditions down your throat. As its becoming apparent and its only a matter of time before

Boards becomes an American wishy washy don't say boo website.

Dont say blue, in a red forum. you get banned, and when you say blue in the blue forum we all get together and celebrate it like we are on top of the world.

Don't say irish in the after hours forum, cus that goes in the gaelige forum. There is a girl named is madra and she just posted something in after hours should this be now in the charter? Penalize her that despicable woman how DARE she do this.

Don't say a joke is not funny in the joke forum. even if its tempting to say it

Don't press the red button in the astronomy room, aliens will fly out.

Don't react to a react to a mod giving you an almighty Zeus attitude even when he reacts.

Don't stand up for yourself, because there are now so many rules and charters that you actually need to read the charter everytime you log on to boards(just incase you know how it is)Something new and fascinating appears on the charter you don't walk to glide in the air, as you hope no one will think you will make any noise or interruptions unintentionally/intentionally.. I think it's best you get a charter to remind you of the new charters that are up. So it's easier to be more robotic and how we robots should, act, think and be.

Don't unintentionally say anything off topic, stick to the bible and don't talk about Hindu

Don't unintentionally talk about something a little off topic, " raving mod" I'll ban your ass""" grrr.

Don't say a word that relates to music in the non music forum, cus that's just confusing.

Don't say Ancient Egyptians in the Conspiracy forum, cus that's history you silly moo(censor this if you think this is too shocking to read)

Don't speak of UFOs in the Paranormal forum, cus UFO is now conspiracy theory, or wait its goes into the Paranormal forum now, but anyway either way once you question the UFOs it goes back into Conspiracy theory. I know... fun to see this go on. Wait till we see a new charter on this one. We don't want to go into this coinmaze now, even I get confused.

Don't report posts, cus a lot of mods tend to pick and choose which posts they want too correct, you know how that is:D:rolleyes:

Don't challenge a mods who misbehaves and don't take it to helpdesk they will defend the mod.

Don't take this to feedback, cus they will lock it.

Don't say use smiley faces, even when you do genuinely feel upset or sad, it's racist or something. Or you mean different. or your an emo! lol...

Don't talk about something interesting, its normally boring, and if you do you will be banned. we should all be the same goddammit.


What makes this so pathetic, a mod who doesn't like you, can play the "three lives" thing on this site now. You get three bans and you get the "permaban" is this even a word. You may have only deserved 3 infractions. But super mods go on deaf ear here. if you catch my drift. So they just have three steps to get your ass of it. While others probably have poked someones eye out a 1000 times but are still on the forum.


I'm going to get my space shoes on they are silent you wont hear me around the place, cus you have to be very careful around here.

Make sure everyone on this forum becomes the same, don't do anything extreme, don't swear even when joking, don't pee, don't smile, don't do something different and for the love of god don't say a syllable out of place in the English poetry forum. Don't even try and be yourself, it's a private forum after all, we must bow and act accordingly. This is just................................FUN... or at least its becoming fun to watch.


If you catch my drift....................................:rolleyes: Boards needs to chill the **** out.

I probably didn't get to go through all the dos and don't. Everyone is a terrorist, so we need tighter controls. If anything I hope you all get a good laugh out of this. It took about 2 mins to type off the head.

Boards needs to chill the **** out.

What will the next rule be?

Mandatory proofreading of posts.


Attacking typos is generally pretty petty and sad, but can someone please fix the thread title, its giving me a headache, and I dont want to see it on the main page every time theres a reply to this thread.


"Is boards becoming too PC, or dare I say a plastic bubble fantasy."

mysterious

It's our own fault everything in the world is going this way, and shockingly average people who run websites like this are going the same way.


The issue is control. You cant control people. Once you make it too controlling you kill the air.

When does it cross over the line. Has it crossed over the line in terms of becoming way to PC here. I'm not attacking the webiste as a personal means. I used a bit of humour to make it alittle humourous. I do believe it is funny because its outragous.

To much control actually does the opposite of making the website more friendly.

The Sweeper

We'd love to replace all of the rules on boards.ie with two simple rules:

Don't be a dickhead.
Respect other people.

But then people like you would want a definition of what sort of a dickhead we were referring to, precisely, and just what sort of behaviour can be defined as being a dickhead, and then when that's answered you'd posit your long-held personal credo that respect must be earned, not freely given.

Well I was talking about P.C.......

You know going overboard with rules. I think its becoming an issues as the owner of this site want more control over what people say. The more you try to project the more people will retaliate.

So I see, if I said JFK in the after hours forum, should this be moved into the conspiracy theory. If I made a joke about JFK in the Conspiracy theory should this then be moved to the joke forum, as funny as this forum can be(untill you look at the charter:rolleyes:) Actually it's funny.

Don't comment on a joke you didnt find funny. lmao... Priceless has to be the weirdest rule I've ever come across on a forum.

But anyway on topic.

Maybe i'm just seeing things, and its the posters fault for not been more robotic.

I mean, new rules are added each day to conform to a a previous action on the thread that may have happened. A new rule is made. If you want to be more objective here. Is this the way to go. From having 50 rules to lets just imagine in 1 years time. How many rules will be added to the charter.

100
200
300.

Where is the line going to be drawn. How far is too far. Will it just keep going till the point where they are so many rules people will just get sick of the PC, and leave the site.??


I'm really just posing scenarios here

The sig means, in my own interpretation.

If express my views, I'm entitled too, as long as I don't offend the other person.

So If am respecting myself, I also have to point out some people will just not respect that. I'm not just speaking for myself. I hold that sig strongly for this reason. I stand to my perceptions and beliefs. Through others I learn what isn't acceptable or what not the correct thing to do.

I won't talk like a drone and go on tip toes on my belief's. I don't need a PC system to tell me what is morality and what is the correct thing to do. The problem is the world has become too PC, people are becoming so restricted in what they can or cannot say. People cannot even be themselves.

Therefore, ****ed.

At the end of the day, it's just a message board. Anonymous people will come and share opinions or disagree with you. You want to control the posts, start your own message board.

mysterious

I'm just the messenger spreading awareness of what I feel is happening to this site.

I think a good critical analysis of this forum should be done evey so often, as to how the people of the site are adapting to it. The changes in terms of rules, is a step in the wrong direction.


If you give people freedom, respect, paitence, honesty and choice. They will mirror it back.

The idealogy of boards now becomiing like an American cable chat show, is pretty daunting to me. It becomes unnatural.

I'm not a fan of been unnatural, monotone and generic.

I have to agree with mysterious. I wouldn't have bothered posting if there was a thumbs up button.

Oh lordy. Just see how such a mic this website is becoming and the super mods don't see it yet.:rolleyes:


I found this funny, but what if someone didnt find this funny, would they then get a warning on the humour forum for saying it's NOT funny.(THIS LINE COULD BE CENSORED OUTNOW) I just said it's funny, I don't get the swine flu no?
Oh wait we have helpdesk, your saved......
Helpdesk, sounds like megatron who defends the decepticons, you know how it is.


Just remebered. And now it's a soccor match we have yellow cards and red cards, do we get a pitch and battle it out aswell?

A mod who could of given you yellow card, deicded he didnt like your views, so he gave you a red card. The super mods, say good on ya, the people of boards don't matter, its the mods decision at the end of the day.

Poccington

Have you any actual examples or comparisons of how PC boards.ie has become since whenever you feel it was grand and how it is now in it's "PC" form?

Or is this just a general thread for rambling without any actual constructive feedback?

mysterious

Can you not see if for yourself.

For the mods that make all the rules, its ironic, that we play the blindman now all of a sudden.

This thread is doing it's job:D

"i'm making it up of course" its funny cus on a normal thread I'd get banned for been honest as i have been here.

Well I seen you re edit post in the millitary forum.

On "politics of war"

You edited so, we would only see the crap we see on the T.V daily. You know misinformation. Or make it appear more biased to "how you want the thread to be" therefore defined by your PC view. Which is bull**** out of the fan. In my view.

Poccington, when I asked you to put it back up.
You said

"I'm not putting it back up"

It's not acceptable or mature to act, in such discussions. I really don't care if you don't like what people say, I think you need to get your claws back in your pocket and let the dicussion be less controlled by your control issues.

Therefore your denying the right of another to express his view. Your also showing that a person cannot contriubute to the thread, everyone MUST say the same thing and agree in the same way, if you don't agree the mighty man poccington, comes along to save the day with the PC crap.

Poccington

I'm sure you'll remember as well that when you were expressing your views, once people started to try take the piss I was the one that stepped in to make sure they stopped that ****e so you could express your views.

You know full well why I deleted those posts, it's the Military Forum not the CT Forum as I've told you before and some of your posts went down the road of conspiracy talk.

AH seems to have morphed into forum where you can joke one thread but not in the other. You can't post a fail pic in the soccer forum. If somebody posts something regarding a moderator on boards on another forum they get banned. A couple of posters from a particular forum did something naughty and the whole forum was made to pay for it.

PC mighn't actually be the right wording, maybe just plain crazy.

The AH thing aside (and in fairness, javaboy has given good posts here regarding that concern), those are very much exceptional events and not all "mods" agree with them - by a long shot. They are not the norm, it's not helpful to speak as though they are.
Jeez, the stuff mysterious is constantly whingeing about... I mean, I'm FAR from a Boards.ie sycophant, I've voiced my concern at what I deem unfair, but I generally don't see a problem with what mysterious has issues with - his posts just seem extremely embittered and it's obvious he's a troublemaker, otherwise he wouldn't be "singled out" if that's how he sees it.

It's always about everyone else isn't it, mysterious? Never you...?

While they are not the norm they are becoming more frequent occurences and with all the rules that have been added its coming to the stage where people are very unsure whats allowed and whats not allowed. Less freedom means less posts, less humour and ultimately it will kill forums.

Don't go there Poccington. You took my views off it, cus you had a problem with it. In other words, you denied my right of opinion.


It WAS NOT C.T
It was a precisely factual, based on the "politics of wars", I explaine Geo politics, with links and facts. it was probably the best piece of info on that whole moronic forum. The thread was moronic, because people were fighing over who was good and evil, all media balony.

The whole thread was moronic, because people are not allowed express themselves like I can and will do. No one is allowed to take a step up and just say the truth for what they think it is or believe it to be. Everything has to be spic and span and down to a T. The mods interprets the threads to be boring and the same, lets all agree that the wall is green and ban the person who thinks it's red. All a mod has to do is have the attitude of not liking a post, and remove it. Its absurd. Especially since the owners of this site let that behaviour go on. I don't think this is right at all.

Wishy washy don't say this and that now, you will get banned. Its a disgrace the way some mods behave and not only to mods, the way people just make a show of people based on their differences.

If it was C.T why didn't you move it. You didn't move it because you knew it wasn't C.T. So please don't play that tripe with me, just because your a mod. You removed it, because you didnt want the truth., you wanted the crap that is posted every day, from the media. You can say it was, but it wasn't. You reacted with arrogance and ignorance, and that was your behaviour.

But that case is closed, I have no interest in posting reality in that forum, cus none of it isreality. CNN and FOX news droning is all that is allowed on that forum. What the news says, and **** your beliefs and moralis.

1 month ban.

Should I take it to helpdesk, no, because the admins don't mediate cases. It's not politically correct for the Admins to pull a mods behaviour aside.

Steve banned me because He knows my views are controversial. But he can't give an explanation.

Other than been "your so naughty"


This is Childish behaviour.

Then why don't you stop coming here? Seriously Mysterious, I'm not having a go. But about every 2 weeks you post a new thread about your problems with the way boards.ie is run. You obviously have problems with it. It obviously annoys you. So why not just stop coming here? Why spend so much time and energy complaining about things which are not going to change?

Boards.ie is one of the most popular sites in Ireland. They don't need to change a damn thing, because what they are doing now obviously works. It may not be to your very high standards, but for the vast majority of people, people who understand the rules set, and obey them, it works. It may not be 100% perfect, but I don't think any of the suggestions you've made will get it any closer.

So why not just stop coming here? Or set up a rival forum? See how easy it must be to try and get hundreds of thousands of people to follow a small, basic set of rules

Well I'm not here to fight with the sheep of this site.

The fact that is true of Irish people, Is that Irish people are nearlly as ignorant as the Americans. If this is the biggest site on the net. Then people who are of my age and older.

Are stuck in the famine era STILL.

I go to many sites and many international forums where I have a bigger audience.

But it's a sad day for me and its a sad day for this website, if they cannot let an Irish person on an irish site post his views. I'm not here to post my views for fun you know, despite the some mods on this site behaving like bigots. It' just isn't acceptable.


I don't post problsm's every two weeks.

The problem lies with the Admin team,

• who allow this behaviour championed
• Ignore the users side of the situation
• allow the mod to ben me for personal reasons
• close my helpdesk/feedback threads

I will go and name them, because it really is not acceptable from the highest people on this site.


I posted a feedback thread saying the Conspiracy forum needs balanced mods,

1 skeptic and 1 C.t
There has been other threads by other people of my questioning.

The admins continue to ignore this.

I posted another
The admins continue to ignore that.

On my final post's on my own feedback thread.

Mysterious if they are other people on that forum who are asking for this and have an issue with this, then we would come to an arrangement

I said ok, I will email all the user's who have complained

And on here NOW.

Steve on the paranormal forum is probably getting overwhelmed of the power I have too.

It's not my problem, because I'm not causing any problemss. Just some mods have a problem with my opionions.

They are allowed to misbehave and ban who they want when they want, because the Admins refuse to sort this issue out.

Because I don't accept the admins or allow anyone to treat other's like that. I wouldnt I treat anyone like that, here or in real life. I don't think there is anything moral about ignoring this issue. That could of been solved months ago, from the Admins as their responsibility to make it user friendly for the users of this site. I'm here many year's now, and it's now only a problem and it's only a problem on two forums here. I mean seriously what age are the admins on this board. Who are they. I seriously am interested in the names now. Procasination is the biggest problem, and why so many things get out of control. This whole site could be alot of better if people in positiion of power used common sense rather than arrogance and ignorance. Which is the reason why power falls and corrupts if your smart enough to know that.

Boards.ie is one of the most popular sites in Ireland. They don't need to change a damn thing, because what they are doing now obviously works.

Rome thought the same thing when they were popular.

Don't be to hopeful. I'm not asking for perfection. i'm asking for the respect of my opinion and right to post.

So why not just stop coming here? Or set up a rival forum? See how easy it must be to try and get hundreds of thousands of people to follow a small, basic set of rules

So this behaviour on this site, should force me "an Irish person" not to post on boards, because bigots are allowed to squander me.

Its exactly what the start of this thread is about. Boards is changing.
I believe I'm actually helping them in this regard, to become more aware.

It just so happens I got banned yesterday. So it makes this thread all the more real and present.

You don't have the right to post whatever you want just because this is an Irish site and you are irish. there are many people of many nationalities who post here. And they are allowed to post here provided they follow the rules.

You claim you are being discriminated against because of your opinions. You aren't. You are being discriminated against because of your past actions. While mods might generally give people a bit of leeway here or there, you have racked up numerous bans and infractions from different forums and yet you still refuse to obey the rules. No leeway or benefit of the doubt is given to you due to your past actions, unwillingness to change, and consistent disregard for the hierarchy of the site.

This is the Admins site. They choose the rules. You can post whatever you want on other sites, depending on that sites rules. Here, you have to follow the admins rules. We all do. And we all try to.

Nope I haven't. Just same mods and same two forums:) Leeway, I'm been told I'm naughty for posting a thread on topic.

The mods can think they are using the charter over me, but they are not. They "decide themselves" its not worthy of topic.

Unwulligness to change? I'm going by the rules. I've done things the correct way.

The admins didn't choose the rules of alot of forums. Because I pmed them a long time ago, because I felt 1 mod, "public joke as a mod" had to be sorted by the head team.

The admin replied, I wouldn't get involved on forums as this is a big site, and It's the responsiblity of the mods to moderate the situation or take it to helpdesk

What happens if the mod is nnot doing his job correctly, when its appliable for the admin to intervene or have to get involved.

This is the problem.

And all this because I banned him from CT. I should have contained the fire, taken a hit for the team like a good wing man. I'd like to apologise to the mods of the paranormal forum for offloading mysterious on them. I owe you all a pint at the next beers.

6th

Mysterious, if it makes you feel better I've been banned from the Paranormal Forum loads!

mysterious

6th you were given the power to abuse power.

Your sarcasm just makes this all the more surreal. But the banning was unjustly. But I still don't understand why you follow me on forums and throw in digs on every single thread I post or otherwise. I have not mentioned you by name on this thread.

You brought yourself here again by yourself. I would prefer if you didn't come here at all. You are so childish, Nobody should ever let you be a mod.

Do what the Admin you PM'd told you to do. Take it to the helpdesk.

While you probably believe that the Admins and Mods all just look out for each other the whole time, but if you have a genuine grievance, and if you post calmly and respectfully, you will get an honest answer. They may side with you, they may side against you. But either way, you will get an honest, unbiased answer.

6th

Mysterious, you've taken enough digs at me, calling mea joke mod etc. And on your profile page you've done nothing but put down mods and adminst. If you continue to rant about the CT forum and its mods on your profile you may have your ban extended.

Another advantage of using the Helpdesk instead of Feedback. Unless your gripe is with 6th directly, I don't think he can post in it.

Seriously Mysterious, I'm trying to help you here. I definitely don't agree with the majority of what you say. But you do have the right to say it. But if this site is where you choose to say it, you have to follow the rules and procedures decided by the admins and mods. This is their site. They can do whatever they want. they can impose whatever rules they want. They try to be fair to as many people as possible, but there will always be people who don't think the rules are fair.

You have to decide which of those people you are.

I tried it's useless, all my pms with others said the same. It seems this is what they want.

The funny thing is I still don't know the reason. Cus it's not the "you disobeyed the charter" nonsense so your banned. That is not the issue here.

It's not what I did or didn't do, I have been here years and rarely ever posted complaints etc.. The Admins just don't want this issue sorted, so they allow it to be this way. It isn't sorted and helpdesk wont sort it. They close my threads.

In a general sense, its sad, because boards.ie is going down the drain. This is what from what alot have told me.

6th

lets see for a second Mysterious, where exactly do I follow you? CT, I mod there. Paranormal, I post on there more than most people. Feedback, only in threads concerning the CT forum or where you whinge like a child about your bannings, Helpdesk, I can only post there is the thread is about me or a forum I mod.

On a quick check you also post in Commuting & Transport, Infrastructure, Limerick City, Astronomy, Clare, Midwest, Tipperary, Kerry, GAA, MIlitary .... I could go on but for the record ..... do I follow you to any of those or am I really just posting on forums I've been more active than you on for the last 4 years?
