Site is a graveyard - How can boards save itself? [Threadbanned users in 1st post]

what type of platform is this if only boards approved content can be displayed ? I know they have the right as a private company but still, it's an abuse of power and free speech which the internet was supposed to be all about.

You answered your own question there. This is a private company. Membership is open to everyone but you have to agree to the rules. If you don't agree to the rules then you can't be a member.

There is no right to free speech on this site. If you want to post about something that isn't allowed on Boards you can always post it on your own pages. We all have social media accounts now. If you feel strongly enough about a topic you are free to start the conversation on your own page. Set up your own blog etc.

Boards.ie is responsible for the content posted on it. That's why you don't have a right to free speech here.

May I suggest you set one up if you feel strongly enough about a subject that you want to post on the internet about it.

😊I'm just answering your feedback.

You seem annoyed by the fact that Boards.ie restrict your right to free speech. As per your own post it's what "the internet was supposed to be all about." (Although I think it was originally a global information and communication device)

So if you're struggling with being restricted on this site I am simply suggesting you set up your own site, page, social media account, blog. There are many options available to you where you won't be restricted by the site rules of Boards.ie

I didn't give you any warning.

I actually smiled at your little comment (I even put a smiley face at the beginning of my reply so you'd know you made me smile!)

However, your posts represent the type of posting that is being complained about here. If you can't stand by the strength of your argument without resorting to name calling and abuse well then you really need to consider how strong your point actually is. Your argument was beaten and you had nowhere to go other than name calling.

And no, nobody on here "should be able to tell someone to shut the f1ck up". That's the whole point people are making.

I didn't and won't warn you because I am engaging with you. Don't want to be "abusing my powers" now, do I?! I think I am capable of standing my ground and don't feel the need to warn you in order "to show you". However, the moderators of this forum may take a different view and issue a warning for abuse? off-topic? discussing moderator action on thread?

If you would like to continue to engage in the discussion and provide some feedback that might be of benefit then you have to abide by the rules of the forum and the rules of this particular thread, just like everyone else.
