Welcome to the new Boards.ie platform - Version 1.0 :)

@Boards.ie: Niamh @Boards.ie: Odhran can somebody in charge comment on my post? Is it now boards.ie policy to delete posts that mention certain words?

it is not even that they blocked a link to the other site. I used the words that are in a particular acronym that matches the other site name and the post was deleted. The post wasn't even about the other site. The post was about a current political situation and the words were totally cromulent to the discussion. the post was deleted nonetheless. I want @Boards.ie: Niamh or @Boards.ie: Odhran to confirm if those particular words are now justification for a post to be deleted. I will not let this go. I am seriously pissed at how pathetic the actions of the mods were.

I would have checked with them myself but I haven't a clue how to find out who they are on the new site nor the name of the mod that actually did the deletion. the md deleted 4 posts in total on the coveney thread. No notice, nothing on thread to say why, nothing. Not good enough.

Thanks Niamh, as you can see in posts #1262 of that thread, (post numbers, so glad they are back) we have used the picture method as of july 16th, adding the table contents into a spoiler so they can be edited by other users, so, this was just making sure its was on the list, as quotable editable sortable tables were great for displaying and sharing info in FGs.

Happy that its on the list and will be gotten to.

Oh come on, just because the little “hate site” is small doesn’t mean the admins should tolerate its shilling on here.

That site is actively looking at trying to entice regular boards.ie users over with the idea of no moderation and all “opinions” welcomed, and we all know what that means.

Thankfully, so far it has only managed to attracted mostly already banned users and a number of malcontents. Most of whom spend their time “attacking” boards, itself. I see no reason why anyone in charge of this site would want to be associated with that.

I've seen very little attacking of boards there, in fact it was actively discouraged by the person who set up the site, and I don't see any more"hate" there than Reddit, Twitter etc. etc. For god sake the Current Affairs forum here has as much/more hate, and that's been like that more or less since it's inception. That supposedly has moderation.

I still continue to post here, like I have for 15 years and still hope for improvement in the site and posting numbers but clampdowns and adding site names to swear filters? Embarrassing stuff.

I get it though, you're happy with things, and that's good too, just some of us appreciate other places to discuss things as well.

And stopping that, banning people who abuse pm shouldn't be difficult.

If it is such a terrible place why does Boards allow moderators here to continue to moderate while using that site?

It's because, despite what some there might be like, just the same as here, most posters have no interest in shīt stirring and just want some kind of useable site to discuss things on. Go looking hard enough for arseholes you'll find them anywhere on the internet.

But I've said enough on this subject, I'm sure the powers that be think I've said enough too so I am happy to leave it there. They don't change their minds on these things and as I said before I'll continue to plod away here, more in hope than expectation, I'll continue to use that other site in the hope in thrives and hope we all end up with what we want.

All the best.

If you're signed out you shouldn't be able to start a new discussion or see the new discussion button at all though.

Imagine being annoyed that posters on another site are discussing The Late Late Show. 😂

Don't you mean complaining about it?

Well, you got 297 posts in the ‘Late Late’ thread in the “Television” forum here and a handful of posts in the one over there. Even the users of that “other site” would prefer to use this one.

This site is, certainly, working well enough. I’ve been using it easily enough the last while.

Granted, I do have a life so haven’t been stuck glued to a screen, in a dark room, cursing the lack of “dark mode” or whinging about the bookmarks but neither of those functions interested me on the old site anyway.
