No quitten we're whelan onto chitchat 12.

Did this not all stem from one poster putting up his phone phone number publicly asking the other poster to ring them claiming they defamed them?

I would imagine the threat of legal action spooked that admin to put up that post.

This is really the only forum I read on boards now, because most of the posters are fairly open minded and fair in conversation. There is the odd bit of left Vs right bullshit now and again but never as bad as some of the stuff you would see on other forums, current affairs especially. Then you get the odd person on with an anti farming agenda looking to stir things up a bit. Yes they might get rounded on a bit, but that's only natural reaction.

There are one or two regulars that like to troll a bit, but they mostly get bored and slink away for a while or get pegged down by other contributors. But it never gets too serious.

Threatening PM's are another thing entirely and putting up or speculating on people's real identities is not on. I think someone tired to dox a poster recently enough going as far as putting up a name. Now you have a real person linked to posts by an anonymous person who could be anyone. I can see how this could become a problem for that real person, the poster and boards.

I don't post much, I'm not actively farming but am interested in farming and farm life. I pop in a few times a day to catch up, it's like a little window into our rural communities that is getting lost I think.

It would be a shame if the forum lost that now over a few messers.

I think the forum Mods do a very good job on keeping things on track when needed. Yes it's light touch, but that is generally all that's required. The forum is pretty much self moderating.

The mods do a reasonable job, the fuel protest thread probably could have been closed a bit sooner than it was because things seemed to get a bit personal there but overall it's generally well managed.

I've been in plenty of heated discussions myself but happy to say I've never been PMd by an abusive poster about anything. If someone here is at this childish sh1te then they badly need to grow the fck up.

So you already paid for a test .

It might be computer glitch ,otherwise it is a complete joke

Do the dept still put a brass tag in reactors

Great excitement,Donegal very lucky

So true

Department can do it or your own vet can do it .
On a related note, has anyone heard of any changes in the limits on compensation for reactor cattle ? It’s a joke that the the value placed on an individual animal by a department Valuer is ignored when it suits them !

Out Holding up traffic were you 😅
