If You Could Ban One Topic On Boards.ie Forever....What Would It Be?

Temaz

For me it's gotta be 'Dole Scrounging' threads, sick of them!!

mikemac

politics, any party, any country

Is there a reason the gate collection thread is not in Politics forum?

Get out!

The Waltzing Consumer

The "it's time to revolt/protest/tear this place apart/I'm so sick of apathy/sinking ship/this place is going to be a warzone" type of threads.

Son Of A Vidic

Repeated Ireland Vs England bullsh1t threads.

Coriolanus

All stripes of neanderthalic national/republic propaganda threads.

For Forks Sake

This week, anything related to the royal visit

Biggins

Picking on the average public worker or those genuinely on the dole or England/north/south border disputes.

Saila

you do realise you've just given all the pricks who start them a nice handy place to come and set up 'new' topics from

hondasam

religion

old hippy

I wouldn't ban anything still - I'd be happy to see less ongoing vendettas between posters.

pow wow

Anything 6-counties related.

Cianos

Anything that begins with a link from the Sun/Star/Daily Mail

That would do nicely.

Religion threads

The vast majority of times that a Daily Mail article is posted as a source for a thread topic, the threads are more than interesting. It's easily one of the most linked to sites on After Hours too. People say they hate the Daily Mail, but the evidence would contradict that.

We can't ban politics from boards.ie or from AH because it is a source for news. Without boards.ie I'd be clueless as to whats happening here in this country.

W.Shakes-Beer

Headshops.

Go through my head.

Badgermonkey

Norn Iron.

It's a merry-go-round of petty put downs, re-hashed rhetoric, keyboard based trench warfare and a space where civility and reasoned and reasonable discussion are an all too rare phenomenon.

I'm complicit, I'm also apparently a 'west brit'.:(

CorkMan

The ones I don't like.

I despise that term. It's offensive on so many levels. The very fact that it's said to cause offence is offensive.

There were those I left behind in Ireland who reckoned you couldn't be real Irish if you spoke funny/weren't catholic/white/lived in a certain area/shopped in Tescos/etc

I did not burst forth from the stony grey soil swathed in rosary beads, clutching an poblacht in one hand and a hurley stick in the other; that is true but I'm Irish, goshdarnnit.

Self indulgent rant over. As you were.

bigjohnny80

The fooking recession. Sick to death of it coming up in every thread. People cannot function in this country without mentioning it 100 times a day.

Even completely unrelated threads, someone will always say,"ah that's the recessionary times we live in".

STFU

I don't think gagging SF worked well in the past, do you?

I have no real problem with SF as a democratically elected political party; it's the uber pats who get up my nose, for the most part.

Any threads that look like this:

The Americans/Brits/Muslims/insert any non-"Irish" generic group here are all so stupid there* like odd and have strange custems* and I dont* like them. Who do day* think they are like

*Who's stupid. Seriously grammar and spelling go a long way in a thread that is accusing someone else of stupidity. (Have no problems with it in other threads, mind you.)
