Free Bubbles!

I think its unfair of the admins to demote Bubbles from Admin to Banned simply because he made a mess of the newsletter. The Newsletter was a good idea to improve the image of Boards.ie and maybe the admins should have agreed among themselves before giving the text to bubbles to send. He shouldnt have to stand up for this…

Indeed, getting my hopes up about there being a wet T-shirt competition is typical of the Admin's stances on stuff. The fact is that if Bubbles wasn't banned then there would have been a wet T-shirt competition. For this my trusting in the Admin's is faltering.

98% of people I asked actually agreed with me and are with me on this 102% of the way. Therefore, if you do the maths you will see that it makes 200%

Free bubba... I mean buddha.

He sent a "newsletter" via PM to everyone with 1000++ posts (I think).

Yeah, free bubbles and so on.
I found it pretty amusing, at least he wasn't try to sell generic viagra or offering 10% of the fortune he's trying to smuggle out of Nigera (this time anyway)

What did the newsletter say?

Is there any chance of someone posting it up?

Hello,

Since I have been appointed the offical boards.ie admin watchdog by the good people at boards.ie I feel it is my duty to inform all our members on current issues,

First of all we wish to thank everyone for attending the last boards beers. A great night was had by everyone. We think its important to us and it shows the strenght of our community. There will be another event arranged for easter time - so be sure to catch it this time. We're aiming for the biggest ever turnout at a boards event. It will be a blast. We are also working on a few fun activities that will take place at the next beers. There will be a wet t-shirt competition where all female boards.ie members that partisipate and could be in for a chance to win an offical boards.ie t-shirt! We will keep you posted for updates.

Amoung the new and upcoming boards.ie features, we have decided to create at 'For Men' forum - where over 18's can discuss their favorite adult subjects. Posting of mature and pornographic material will be allowed - but will have to fall under strict guidelines. Due to the mature nature of this forum - access will only be granted by sending a PM to ecksor.

Recently - people have been having issues with the For Sale forum. There is an increasing number of con-artists and businesses spamming the board for advertising. Because of this the For Sale board is going to be restricted to 'members only' We feel that the For Sale board should only be used by regular members and not people just signing up to advertise something. This means people with at least 500 posts or people who have registered before October 2003 will be able to post threads on the For Sale board.

And the final item in this update - we are extreamly happy to annouce that Regi has finally reached puberity. For years doctors have failed to come up with an explination on why Regi skipped the important phase of every young boys life. After years of trying experimental procedures, Doctors at the Hostpital for the sick and crippled children have found a breakthrough treatment which involves a prolonged supscription of 6inch anal capsules. Congratualtions Regi!!! You're balls will drop in no time!

Thats all from this weeks Admin watchdog PM.

Regards,

bubbles

Oh come on. bubbles is getting banned for doing what he's done for as long as I can remember? That shit is whack.

Looks like the admins have stepped up their purge of humour from boards. First Sangre, now bubbles! When will the madness end?

I think that one of the issues here is not one of the humor of the pm... but the fact that it was a mass unsolicited pm, a figure of 1000 pms was claimed.... Irrespective of the number, if it is ok for a user to send unsolicited pm humerous or not, especially when we have a humor forum, where do we draw the line...

Should every member be allowed to send pms to whomever they wish on any topic?

There were other reasons for the ban as well, it was not just the mass pming, but for the above reason, a ban would seem justified.

Humour overload. The cheek of him having us read a PM, does he not realise how precious our time is?

Does this mean the wet T-shirt Comp is not happening?:mad:

BTW: Congrats to Regi.;)

Ah its only a bit of fun - the important part is that it was BOARDS RELATED fun. If he was selling v14gr4 or p3n1s 3nl4rg3m3nt5 I'd be a more than a bit pissed off.

Made me laugh, anyway. Lighten up, lads....

PS - congrats, Regi

WTF!

This is getting bad.
I agree with the others in saying that banning bubbles is just wrong.
What he did may not have been right but i hope that a perm ban isn't in place, and that his fate aint the same as Sangre etc.

I'd say its about time Boards.ie changed its policy on reacting to users and re-structuring it.
I.E. Having temp bans from boards instead of complete bans
The increase in populus would suggest that people may have to learn from experience before copping on.

I feel left out.
I didn't get any pm.

I take this as a sign that irony, humour and jesting of that ilk is obviously not allowed in here any more Yes jolly good. What good sports you moderaters are. Got a bright future ahead of you working in dole offices and giving out parking tickets.

Anyways better supress my personality for fear of bannination.

Hmmm didn't see much wrong with the newsletter tbh, it's nice to have recent events all summed up like that.
It's not as if he was making doctored pics of devore and posting them under the alias of Ali-G or anything.
Ah dem were the days.
