    not trying to stir it or anything but in myh opinion boards moderation is far too strict. i mean you theres no banter allowed. in a conversation you should be saying exactly what you think and feel and nobody should be able to ban you for that. fair enough racism and bullying shouldnt be allowed and neither should anything with legal impications but if i want to tell someone they sound like a p*@&k i should be able to. i can on peoples republic of cork

    Then do it on peoples republic of cork. People are expected to be civil and respectful to each other here no matter what they are discussing or whether or not they agree with each other. If you have to resort to saying someone sounds like a prick I hesitate to consider that "discussion" and this is a discussion site.

    I'd sort of agree with you. But the peoples republic has declined as a site in recent years. Most of the members act like pricks. Theres no moderation and the members just become irritating, granted there are some sound ones. :D
    Prefer the boards people in general. I do find some of the moderation tob be a bit extreme but sure its up to the owners. The atmosphere is far better here.

    You do realise that tonnes of mods/cmods/admins aren't from Dublin, right? Some of them aren't even Irish or living in Ireland

    Saying to someone that they sound like a prick doesn't accomplish anything and the thread will just descend into abuse. We don't want that here. You can call people more or less what ever you like in the thunderdome (it's under the sys category). In every other forum we don't allow abuse.

    But most of the people posting are from Dublin and everyone else seems to have some sort of issue with that.

    Ad hominem is an all-too-common fallacy that detracts from discussions and produces nothing but mindless drivel like what is in the Thunderdome, or what was in Soccer before it assumed its fascist state.

    or

    No, you sound like a prick.

    Choose your answer.



    Seriously, if your ability to communicate depends so much on the option to name-call and stuff, stick to The People's Republic of Cork; everyone's better off.

    What are you basing that position on? Doesn't seem that way to me. One of the bigger complaints we get about organising sessions and the likes on here is that they are always in Dublin and people can't necessarily travel to them, so that would indicate to me a lot of people on here aren't in Dublin

    **** man keep your powder dry...

    1. i wasn't trying to imply Mods were all from Dublin

    2. I was making reference to the amount of Dublin related stuff in AH

    3. it was an AH reply

    4. it was firmly tongue in cheek, now watch you don't fall off that horse, it's quite a height.

    In a thread about why people here can't attack the poster and not the post, that reply is either geniusly or tragically ironic depending on whether it was tongue in cheek

    Well yeah, the people in Dublin aren't gonna complain about it not being on in Dublin if it's on in Dublin are they? I'm not even from Dublin, but I've found boards a lot more relevant since I moved here a few months ago. It's more Dublin related than anywhere else, and no amount of complaining is going to change that.

    What do you expect to be honest? Dublin is the capital of the country and somewhere between a quarter and a third of the countries entire population lives there, on top of the people who commute there for work and all that, of course the place is going to get more coverage, population alone would imply that is inevitable. Supply and demand and all that. Although I don't think the site is unwelcoming to non-Dubliners in any way tbh, and saying it is based merely on the topic distribution is a bit unfair

    In some ways I'd agree, but there are allot of smart people on boards. People that can tell you your full of **** and back it up. If we alienated those types of folks we'd end up with a ses pool of idiocy.

    Even though I've been banned, it was fair. This is a cross section of Irish society not just a place for drunken fools to insult each other.

    Yes the Boards rules are strict. It's a good thing though, there's more than enough sites out there on the net for posting crap like that.

    You should be thankful Boards tries to raise the bar.
