What would you change about Boards?

Hotfail.com

Anything annoy you about the place?

If I had my way I'd let swear words be used without censorship in more light-hearted fora. I'd also like to see a greater diversity in opinions tbh, a lot of people in here seem to agree with each other a bit too often (:pac:). Oh, and I'd ban the term "PC brigade", stupid term. An instant messaging service would be good craic as well, I'm sure it'd get a bit creepy though :rolleyes:

What would you like to see changed/brought in?

The Backwards Man

I'd ban under 21s from starting threads.

brianwalshcork

I'd leave the m. Version live on

Hootanany

Ban the Clique for a start.

Into The Blue

What's the difference between im and private messaging?

Slicemeister

I'd have no cats in the place.

GarIT

I'd get rid of all the users that I don't like or disagree with me, I'd be the only person left.

Sir Osis of Liver.

To be able to check the last thanks you receive.

I hate those phantom thanks.

Oh and to get paid 10 cents per post.

You'd leave it where? If you are leaving it one place, where is everything going to go?

The Peanut

Put a quota on the number of daily posts per poster and watch the number of posts on Personal Issues shoot up.

The Th!ng

I'd like to have the ability to kill people simply by clicking a button beside their username.

Tail Docker

I'd change the name to Brados and make it grow a big tache. And wear a hat.

It's much quicker.

The_Valeyard

More cocaine and hookers.

Greenmachine

Would like it if boards payed me for my contributions.

We had a place for that called the thunderdome but we're not allowed talk about that anymore. Like the alcoholic /drug addict uncle it's not to be mentioned.

Lenin Skynard

I'd dig a great big gutter along the side of the cycling forum.

I believe that's also known as a dirty Sanchez

Mariasofia

Id make people have their own pic next to their username instead of an avatar......just cos Im nosy......

wazky

I'd install stricter regulations on what can and cannot be posted, I find myself often highly offended at posts in threads.

It would also cut down on a lot of wasted PM's.

conorh91

I'd get rid of the thanks function.

Makes it populist and encourages thanks whores.

Sometimes you read a post and you just know that, inside, that poster is screaming, "thank me!"

Well thats what I meant...... thought nosy sounded better..... :-D

Fat Christy

I'd make flirting obligatory.

Manach

But the PC Brigade just nicely sums up the essence of bland progressive group think. Perhaps the phrase that might replace it, Social Justice Warriors, would do instead?

Reverse psychology. I like it.

What annoys me is half the time quoted posts don't appear in your CP, then six months later you're reading a thread and see where somebody quoted you.

LETHAL LADY

Nothing, it is perfect the way it is. :pac:

So about those 400 odd posts you thanked then?

same ol sh1te

A punch in the face button

A thumbs down is badly needed

Mingy. Would it kill you to thank them so? It's free, convenient and moreish.

I'd ban "RIP" threads for celebritys and the like, it's a mass orgy for the bad news brigade to one up eachother for who is most saddened, the recent Robin William's was cringeworthy for some posters.

SoJuWa. Might catch on. Sounds like a japanese army recruit though.

LizzieJones

Mandatory gender icons next to usernames.

Karl Stein

I'd like to install a wood burning stove and have the place insulated. Maybe put down semi-solid wood floors. Knock a wall down.. a couple of new cushions...

Fat Christy

Better vetting of the creepy ones....

Turtyturd

For certain forums Moderators shouldn't be chosen from regular posters within the forum, too many carry over issues with posters.

Ironically enough, the fact that "PC brigade strikes again" could be a reply to what you just said, is the perfect explanation as to why it's utterly meaningless. It isn't even an insult anymore, it's just a retort when you've nothing better to say.

Personally, I'd give every user a billion euros. You may as well aim high, OP.

Some people deserve thanks, but because it's abused, the system as a whole has a destructive effect.

I thank people who put forward interesting or original ideas, even if I disagree with them.

If everyone did that, there would be no problem.

But a lot of people seem to post popular trash, solely in the hope of being thanked.

The Peanut

Have a random time delay on post number 2 on each thread on AH. The pressure to get that killer line....

Beat me to it :-D

K.Flyer

Auto delete threads started by someone asking any question that can be quickly answered by a doing a search on the internet.
Especially threads starting with questions like..
". . how much will my car insurance be?"

In the time it takes to type out a post with a question like that you could have obtained at least one or two on-line quotes.

In as much as? That's a very open ended statement. That's a bit like oldies going "Teenagers these days..."

Kept behind closed doors like an unfortunate adopted child from the laundries.

The shame, gladly it now has new parents and a lovely new home.

K.Flyer

The banning of the single word post containing the word...
"This"
as a reply to anything.

All keyboard warriors should be first vetted by the mods in the military forum :-)

Maybe attach a breathalyser to prevent those embarrassing pissed threads.
