    Anything annoy you about the place?

    If I had my way I'd let swear words be used without censorship in more light-hearted fora. I'd also like to see a greater diversity in opinions tbh, a lot of people in here seem to agree with each other a bit too often (:pac:). Oh, and I'd ban the term "PC brigade", stupid term. An instant messaging service would be good craic as well, I'm sure it'd get a bit creepy though :rolleyes:

    What would you like to see changed/brought in? :)

    I'd ban under 21s from starting threads.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 612 ✭✭✭brianwalshcork


    I'd leave the m. Version live on


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,479 ✭✭✭Hootanany


    Ban the Clique for a start.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,356 ✭✭✭Into The Blue


    What's the difference between im and private messaging?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,526 ✭✭✭Slicemeister


    I'd have no cats in the place.

    I'd get rid of all the users that I don't like or disagree with me, I'd be the only person left.

    To be able to check the last thanks you receive.

    I hate those phantom thanks.

    Oh and to get paid 10 cents per post.

    You'd leave it where? If you are leaving it one place, where is everything going to go?

    Put a quota on the number of daily posts per poster and watch the number of posts on Personal Issues shoot up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 464 ✭✭The Th!ng


    I'd like to have the ability to kill people simply by clicking a button beside their username.

    I'd change the name to Brados and make it grow a big tache. And wear a hat.

    It's much quicker.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,452 ✭✭✭✭The_Valeyard


    More cocaine and hookers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,063 ✭✭✭Greenmachine


    Would like it if boards payed me for my contributions.

    We had a place for that called the thunderdome but we're not allowed talk about that anymore. Like the alcoholic /drug addict uncle it's not to be mentioned.

    I'd dig a great big gutter along the side of the cycling forum.

    I believe that's also known as a dirty Sanchez :D

    Id make people have their own pic next to their username instead of an avatar......just cos Im nosy......


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,516 ✭✭✭wazky


    I'd install stricter regulations on what can and cannot be posted, I find myself often highly offended at posts in threads.

    It would also cut down on a lot of wasted PM's.

    I'd get rid of the thanks function.

    Makes it populist and encourages thanks whores.

    Sometimes you read a post and you just know that, inside, that poster is screaming, "thank me!"

    Well thats what I meant...... thought nosy sounded better..... :-D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,866 ✭✭✭Fat Christy


    I'd make flirting obligatory. :D

    But the PC Brigade just nicely sums up the essence of bland progressive group think. Perhaps the phrase that might replace it, Social Justice Warriors, would do instead?

    Reverse psychology. I like it.

    What annoys me is half the time quoted posts don't appear in your CP, then six months later you're reading a thread and see where somebody quoted you.

    Nothing, it is perfect the way it is. :pac:

    So about those 400 odd posts you thanked then?
