Hi all..

Welcome to the Kilkenny City Forum! General rules apply here - please, try to get along. If you dont like someone, ignore them. If you have an issue with their post, please hit the "Report" button and one of the moderators will respond to your report. In short:-

Please don't:

• Make a comment without being able to back it up,
• Attack the poster. Remember:- Attack the post. Not the poster.
• Talk using "txt spk".
• Go off-topic / post about something unrelated. Got something to say? Keep to the topic and make sense.
• Post full scale pictures in a topic. Either link to the image, or scale it down to thumbnail size (and link it to full scale, if you wish). Its a pain to read threads with pictures messing up the thread layout! (See "Note 1" for tips on how to resize photos)
• If you feel the need to go insulting the travelling community in Kilkenny, certain areas of Kilkenny, or certain people in Kilkenny (Add your own minorities to this list), whether it be using derogatory terms, insults, slurs, or the like, please expect a swift banning from the forum. We will notify you when your ban is to be up. (See "Note 2" for clarification)
• Discussion of whether Kilkenny is a city or not is prohibited. Why? Every time someone tries, it ends up a big mess. Instant ban for any muppet who brings it up. (See "Note 3")
• Promote your own business, this will carry a permanent ban from the forum. If you are running an event you may do so in the events thread only.
• State that a business is closed or closing without backup.
• Post about private individuals.

All in all, common sense helps a lot. The above are guidelines - If you are acting out of what could be considered 'normal behaviour', don't be surprised if you get a holiday from the forum.

General Boards.ie Rules Apply.

If you are a newly registered user on Boards.ie and not adhering to any of the above, expect to get banned. Do not expect me to care if you have something to "add" to a thread. If you can't converse with your peers here, then please don't join in. Expect to be treated like a "n00b" if you act like one.

We strongly suggest taking a read of the Newbies & FAQ forums if you are new to Boards.

Happy Posting! Any questions, our PM Inbox is always open! If you have issues with a post or a thread, please use the Report Post function to let us know. All you have to do is press this button beside each post - - and we will look at it. You can also contact Boards.ie by using the contact page - http://www.boards.ie/contact

Cheers.

Note 1:- Download & Install this Microsoft tool http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe.
Right click the picture you want to resize, and select "Resize Pictures". Select "Small (640x480)" from the new menu. You can now use the new image when displaying the picture.

Note 2:- We understand that discussion of travellers can be a very touchy subject, which is why we ask for clam and common sense when posting. Terms such as pikeys, knackers, knick-knacks and the likes are deemed offensive and the use of such terms derail a thread into a bitch fest between anti-travellers and those defending them. The same is said to those who suggest that travellers should be all killed etc. To avoid this, we ask that when discussing them please just refer to them as "travellers" or "members of the travelling community". Discussion is not banned, but the use of stupid comments is banned. Thanks for your understanding.

Note 3 (from ecksor):-
This forum is for discussion regarding Kilkenny and the surrounding area. This forum is not for mindless trolling by surrounding counties or uninformed / unsupported opinions.

EDIT - 21 October 2006

There is a "report this post" icon on each post, which should look like a little traffic sign with an exclamation point in it. If you have a problem with a post, please use that to report it rather than attacking the poster, as the latter option may result in you getting banned.

I'm not trying to be funny but seriously what is 'Trolling' I have no idea and it's bugging me.
