Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    I am a regular reader and very occasional contributor on this board. Having read many contributions on social media including Facebook and Twitter on Micheál Martin's trip to a boxing club in Cork, I came on here to read the discussion.



    skimpydoo with a banning if they opened another thread.



    I appreciate that moderators are entitled to their opinions but to close a thread because they think it is a nothing story is wrong, especially when other threads on 'nothing stories' and not about the current leader of the country are tolerated.



    'Mehole' (would rather they used his proper name) is trending on Irish Twitter and the story has been covered by The Journal and others. I appreciate these mediums are not to everyone's taste but there is an interest in this 'current' topic.


    The topic should be reinstated and the threat of a banning removed from @skimpydoo (don't know them, no vested interest)

    The thread was closed at the time, due to questions over the legitimacy of the source. However, as this has been since reported in more reputable sources, I reopened the thread just now.

    I am going to add one comment here

    OP you know it was me who closed the second thread. Why did you not PM me to discuss before starting a thread here?

    I know you cannot answer here, but it's one of the basic rules of this site. If you have an issue with moderation take it up with the mod via PM first. If you are not satisfied with the outcome then start a thread in Help Desk
