or trolls (randomers irl) adding useless comment etc... to a conversation, like "thats what she said"

you would have to ban them, a bit harder to do in real life

Get a large hammer titled the banhammer. Every trolling or abusive comment means the person gets a swift hit of it to the knee cap for their first offence, the nose for the second and the all-out ban I call the gene-pool ban, a swift hit to the twins for the thirds offence.

Something a bit like this.

Women would get away with everything.

Getting a thread sent to the Thunderdome would be analogous to being moved to Navan.

They're a mate... right?

When I've talked with mates... conversations were never really driven on 1 particular topic....

Each piece of bullshít we discuss just flows into some other bullshít we continue to yammer on about...

Well for one, there would be no campaign on Facebook to deliberately offend Muslims.

People would be forced to be a lot more civil to each other.

Scumbags idiots would be banned from life.

You could ignore that person that just really annoys you.

We'd have a lot of people randomly rolling on the floor laughing.

The police would be unpaid volunteers who also had other full time jobs.

We would live in an dictatorship with just 1 or 2 people in command.

99% of society would be made up of politicians who believe they know best on how to run the country.

Random people would walk up and thank you for something you said last week.

Very few people would know the real names of the people they talk to.

All conversations would be restricted to a specific set of topics.

You would be banned from talking about certain topics unless you got permission to go visit specific areas.

Footpaths would be pock-marked with discarded butt cheeks, which would be the fallout from people rolling around laughing their arses off.

Facial expressions would be limited to facsimilies of various 'smiley's', the most used being the horrific rolleyes. Except me, because I'd be cool.

Instead of agreeing with one another, we'd say ''plus one!''.

We'd correct one anothers grammar without embarrassent, with the additon of FYG (fixed your grammar works better in RL).

We'd actually state our strongly held opinions and barely veiled prejudices, and take the consequences for them, instead of saving their expression for anonymous fora where we can never be required to stand by them.

We would all be Megan Fox or Brad Pitt lookalikes with genius IQ's, instead of the perfectly ordinary cross-section of society that we actually are.

In real life conversations, 'Locked' usually comes before 'Stupidly off topic'

Cheers everyone, I decided to live today like I would do on Boards.

My neighbour scratched his car on his garden wall pulling in and I walked over and said: "Fail."

He punched me.

Then my cousin told me she has been diagnosed with having a growth on her pancreas. I said: "Pics or gtfo."

She slapped me.

I popped by a friends house and he asked me would I like anything to eat and I said: "Yeah, yore ma."

He gave me a kick in the bollix.

Best keep everything separate from now on.
