It's not going to happen.

"Shay" was a fcuking bellend. Plain and simple.
but tommy is a wanker so what is the issue?

No action taken. Now whatever about abuse of public figures being allowed or not, they have to some extent put themselves out there, but this was posted about a man who is only public through his unfortunate death. I'm really surprised that this is allowed here, he was Irish, his family is local and could very easily come across this thread. What good does it do except let some little shíts act all smug over a man's death? If people want to discuss his actions they can do it in a respectful manner

I used to try to enforce civility on posters. I gave up because at the end of the day it is a discussion site and we have to let users be themselves. if you have to force someone to have some common decency then its already a losing battle. If they act like trolls or children then thats about the level of credence they deserve. I would fully expect their posting style/history to be taken into account when assessing any future issues on the forums - not just cards and warnings.
