Important News!!

@Mad_Lad Thankfully this is not 'Xitter' where you supposedly have free speech! (and limited)

Some topics/discussions/contrary viewpoints are off limits to protect boards from liability and been sued etc.

Just because you have a contradictory viewpoint does not give you automatic rights to share it.

Even on 'Xitter', things get censored, and/or long community notes attached (if that is still active).

As is the case with the vast majority of people who fall foul of mods and general userbase, it's not necessarily the opinion, but rather the manner in which it's expressed.

Plenty of people can have an opposing opinion, but engage in good faith discussion with at least some smidgen of room to see the other persons side. But some can't, and instead grow a persecution complex and a massive chip on their shoulders when their more dickish antagonistic posting style is pushed back upon.

No. But when 6 out of 30 posts on a page are yours, that would be…

I raised the same point last friday, that is why I bookmarked boards.ie profiles comments link and add them to my signature. Sorry if i contributed to off topic chatter on the thread.

Edit: - Just edited stuff out of signature was looking to big on mobile.

Poster is getting his kicks from others responding .

The usual advice of not feeding the troll is as true here as regards replying to those posting incessantly about how they think the site is gone down the tubes and not worth supporting because moderation , government , etc ad nauseum. One or two posts to make a point is fair enough after that it's just trolling .

Let them off .

If people like posting here they will most likely pay something to help the site even if they have some reticence because of Vanilla bugs or past bad experiences.

If they don't want to and are not making a valid point , that's their decision and they might come round at a later stage if the site shows signs of sticking around . Who cares really ?

I won't be wasting my time trying to persuade some of those shxxeposters to pay or stay ..good riddance !

Posters like that are just trying to stir people up who are invested and are best ignored and moved swiftly past .

This is a thread to garner support or genuinely discuss how the site can survive , not give attention to eejits who have nothing positive or interesting to contribute .

Alas, there always seems to be someone that feeds the trolls. The responses are at least well meaning in nature, if ultimately also derailing.

Not sure what the point of this thread is anymore to be honest.

Or most of the feedback threads to be honest.

Its clear that the powers that be have no interest in reading peoples feedback or taking any of the suggestions on board.

I use desktop/laptop mainly but I remember when Vanilla was first foisted on us and all the bugs/feckups began straightaway that one of Odhran or Niamh said the vast majority of access to the site was via mobile.

So what made you to try to find this thread?
