Re: http://www.boards.ie/bulletin/Forum14/HTML/000690.html

When I read Dadakopf's letter I began to fear for the amount of flame letters which may be sent to the headmaster's account.

The response I received from him a few minutes ago (which I forwarded to Dev) would suggest that my fears proved correct.

I propose a 12 clicking (or at least some severe negative karma points) for dadakopf.

These boards have gone steadily downhill over the past few months with more and more crap being tolerated. I agree with Hobbes proposal for thread Karma ratings.

How about 12-click lite? Where somebody can be banned from one board, but can return when their behaviour improves.

C B · 12-06-2001 01:51PM

Good idea.

Bard · 12-06-2001 01:58PM

He may have gone a little over the top in his letter as Kharn pointed out, but he was essentially doing what was asked of him by writing it.

Considering the time of his posting, he possibly hit reply before getting a chance to see DeVore's posting which said:

At this point I'd like to ask everyone to put their mailers back in their holsters

A 12-clicking for Dadakopf is a bit OTT, in my opinion. Negative karma would be ok.

Yeah, we've all recieved warnings at some stage, well I have. This mightn't be the best place for my suggestion, I'll post it else where.

DadaKopf · 12-06-2001 03:25PM

Ah Jesus

, some of you are taking this way too seriously. I had my fun. And yeah, Bard was right; I was composing the post during the time DeVore issued his public statement

.

It's clear DeVore is just watching his back. Lighten up lads, it's only a larf

I did ask people to be polite.
*frowns at dadakopf*

but I'm not 12-clicking someone for a single conduct breach. Dadakopf consider yourself rebuked!

Glenstal have taken action and acted rationally (surprisingly, I'm sure you'll agree!) and have acted in a fashion that has impressed me (how many schools have an IT admin who keeps logs and applies download limitations?).

At this point I'm happy with the outcome and we should all back down off red alert.

We should have a muppet sign reading: Warning, Boards Bites Back!!

DadaKopf · 12-06-2001 04:22PM

Any chance of getting a copy of those emails from the school?

adnans · 12-06-2001 04:34PM

something like this

adnans

DeVore · 12-06-2001 04:54PM

Dada, no!

Suffice to say they were professional and polite. I have apologised for our blunt approach and explained the necessity for such actions to preserve this island of discourse from the lapping waves of muppetdom.

Adnans, you're a scream, can you make it say and "Boards Bites Back" below

or

" Boards
Bites
Back "

DeVore.
