    I'd imagine they're closing them because there's already loads. New ones are effectively spam.

    like this one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,590 ✭✭✭rgossip30


    I cannot find any threads in a search unless you can show me .
    So its now spam to have any debate on such issues in your opinion .

    We don't have free speech in this country bud and boards is a business that can do whatever it wants. Thanks for the utterly useless thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,590 ✭✭✭rgossip30


    Why useless ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,590 ✭✭✭rgossip30


    why do you get upset at the very mention of migrants etc .

    here's 2 to start you off.

    Also, I'd imagine if you started a thread with properly phrased, non agenda filled and somewhat well thought out opening that adds something new or interesting it's probably unlikely to be shut down.

    If, on the other hand, you start a thread ranting and raving about 'ermagerd they're taking our jobs and our woman' then there's really not much of a chance it'll live long.
    (and rightly so)

    They usually turn onto cesspits so I'd say those types of threads aren't encouraged.

    Could have fooled me.....mmmmmaybe they didn't start of like it.....

    but who knows, I stopped reading them a while ago, generally on these threads the sensible posters leave after a few pages and it becomes a bit of a circle jerk of the usual suspects, Leaving Odhinn and Captain Obvious and a few other ones trying to reason with them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,472 ✭✭✭✭Grayson


    OP has form.

    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=103652857

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,231 ✭✭✭Odhinn

    Do you mean you can't find any such threads? Or do you mean you've been reading a thread and later went back to find it had been closed?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    What is this? I mean if I can't spam 20 new threads on refugees each day is this even America anymore? I know my constitution and I have freedom of speech and you can't oppress me like this! Next thing you know these Hilary loser-liberals will be trying to take our guns away!
