Very quiet in here

Dan Steely

It's very quiet in here. Not boards as a whole, the feedback forum.

As it should be.

Used to be a busy old place with positive and negative feedback/complaints (mostly negative I would say).

Has something changed? CA policy, on it's own?

Are posters happier?

Weary?

The moderation on that one particular thread is nothing short of disgraceful. There’s one particular poster on that thread that breaks all the rules constantly and nothing is ever done, derails the thread and is uncivil yet can get away with their behaviour carte blanche.

I’ve also noticed that some of my posts there will just go mysteriously missing. I’ll never receive a warning or a pm from a mod, the post will just disappear. If the post had broken any site rules surely I would have been warned? Which makes me think the post was deleted just because the moderator didn’t agree with it or it hit too close to home.

Could have said look at the map, and posted an actual link to the map comparing it to say Ireland .

Who knows what is true if any old cobblers is allowed on that thread .

It's explained by a mod in the OP as you know and has been here too so .

you think ?

There are certainly fans of most clubs who get very upset if anyone even lightly slags their club or says anything critical, but then there are people who use terms like "ManUre" to purposely antagonise people like that, and then it all descends into a he said she said, they started it ma, and the real topic is forgotten about.

It's just extremely childish, I think you have to be at least 13 to post here....

I suppose I'd class it as 'trivially annoying' rather than wanting to see people banned for it though

They specifically are disallowed in the Soccer Forum, I think you can call Roy Keane "Keano", because that's not derogatory, but you can't call Liverpool "Liverpoo" because that has the potential to offend sensibilities.

So how is someone saying they noticed how big Nigeria is when flying over it classified as an anecdote?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123540227#Comment_123540227

Just one thread in CA. It's clearly indicated in the OP of said thread.

Patrick2010

What’s the story with anecdotes? I assumed it was where someone repeated a story they heard from a third party? I’m now banned from the current affairs because I questioned a poster getting a warning for relating how on flight from Cape Town he noticed how big a country Nigeria was and how far it was from Ireland. Are personal experiences now classed as anecdotes?

I would think nicknames are used in every forum in some post on here, hands up I am guilty of it and don't see it as a big issue

How about gifs , emojis and silly signatures ?

Let's ban ' em all and really get serious 😵‍💫

None of these nor those above seem like serious issues and think people are looking for something to give out about if posting about them .

Boards is a million times better than many other sites where all you get is txt speak and pictures on discussion threads .

Put a 'may be a juvenile' sticker on their profile pic if they use silly nicknames?😁

Good luck with trying to implement that on the Trump thread.

it's the same as the names used for football personalities, zero need for it, it isn't funny more than once, and the person typing it is definitely sitting there high-fiving themselves with a smug grin for getting "one over" on the other side

It's something we definitely need to clamp down on a bit more I think. I share your irrational annoyance over it. It's childish and does nothing to add to any argument one can make. I don't know if I'd be inclined to ban someone or subject them to the increasing sanctions over it though, most likely a 0 point warning would be enough at least initially as long as it wasn't repeated offences.

It’s worse when it’s not obvious who the nickname is for.

Whats the stance on nicknames for politicians/ public figures, like 'me-hole' martin, or 'Mary Lou Mc toenail' was another one i saw once...

it's something that I get irrationally annoyed over for some reason

I actually think that's a good rule, or at least it would be if it was applied consistently. But a mod made the offending post.…the same mod that I was warned in CA for referring to his posting history. Go figure.

Rugby threads are full of that too. Nearly after every penalty or contentious tackle there us a big discussion on the referee.

I reported a post attacking me a few days ago, citing numerous rules that it transgressed. I see posts get warned for nothing, like "uncivil" being the offense. I reported it, again, saying it was uncivil, which it was. Several times, in fact. I asked for an explanation if nothing was being done about it, could I please get an explanation as to why not.

Did I get a response? Ya, right! And the post is still there. Mods can use their own bias and interpretation of the rules.

Sorry I am not trying to claim the posts are abusive they just disrupt the flow of the thread.

Back to the example of the F1 race thread I am reading it to get updates and interesting information.

A poster comes along with "I hate Crofty etc." it derails the thread and adds no value to the discussion.

It can be a turn off to other posters constantly seeing this negative kind of posting.

If there was a dedicated thread for moaning about commentators it could just clean it up a lil.

Taking the F1 example (since I follow some of the discussion there), I wouldn't consider it a big issue. For sure there are some unfavourable comments against commentators (and I'm guilty of that, especially when Danica Patrick is on duty 🙃). But I wouldn't consider the posts abusive or a big disruption to the discussion - certainly not at soccer level.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123532596#Comment_123532596

Soccer incorporates commentators, managers, referees and players into a 'no abuse' rule under the charter. Maybe something for the local mods to consider.

This can be annoying. It's not hard to simply ignore a commentator. I'd also add the constant "This ref is always biased against my team" nonsense. How many times you see a match on and supporters from both sides saying the same thing about the ref.

Great point, and it's normally a lot of "Joey Barton" energy.

Ha Long Bay

Just one suggestion for the sports forum would it be possible to cut down on the constant negative comments on TV commentators?

I don't post much in the forum but follow event threads and it's the same across the board there are so many posts who just want to have a dig.

Just to give a broad example a F1 race thread there will be multiple posts about how much they hate X Y Z.

Maybe each of the more popular sports could have a dedicated thread to discuss commentators and keep it from live events?
