    People who say 'I don't care' about a particular issue brought up in a new thread. Well you cared enough to let everyone know you 'don't care' ya dope?

    I've witnessed the first 40/50/60 posts of a thread dominated by those interested in the issue dealing with one of these 'I don't care' individuals. Could never understand why the boards.ie authorities allow these 'I don't care' people, who so obviously do care, deface threads.

    Baffling.

    Perhaps a mod can confirm this, but I'd reduce the time option to edit a post.

    It appears to be 48hrs after posting. If I thank a post, can it be radically edited to something I may not agree with?

    It's about 10 mins IIRC, 48 hours and your in silly season.

    I'm not positive, but I believe it's 48 hours to edit it. It'd be a developer decision to change that time period, though. Granted, people may change their post, but you can still remove your thanks, so it kind of evens out. If you notice, that is.

    Plus a zillion. They clearly DO care.

    - People who whinge about thanks and paranoidly post theories as to how it's abused - it's a ****ing button conveying agreement, get over it
    - People who whinge about "The Clique" - if a bunch of users get to know each other, they become familiar with each other; it's not a big conspiracy to ostracise others, it's just the natural order of things; get over it

    Fairly sure it's 48 hours, you can do a ninja edit in the first 5 minutes I think and it won't say you edited it.

    - "The PC brigade" definitely - a pathetic drone used to shut down debate; it's even used incorrectly a lot.

    - Saying "Oh you're a [insert party/company] supporter/employee" - as if it's only possible to have an opinion not slating them if you're somehow affiliated with them

    - Shinnerbot

    I'd insist that bell-end Pighead and others like him stop referring to themselves in the third person.
    Signatures. Please don't feel the need to sign off a post. Cordially, go f@ck yourself. You know who you are.

    Good point, or the uppity types who sign off with their own username or a variation of it.

    You're not special and your post isn't special, stop looking for notice.

    Multiquoting battles can also be a real pain. It seems more common in forums like politics or the economy but often one poster multiquotes another, which then results in a big cluster**** of pointless multiquoting between two posters which really signals the end of a thread for me.

    Get kinda annoyed with the way some mods seem to ban members over very fickle things.
