Threads about Boards

Dundalk Daily

Is it permitted to open a thread about a boards section, the quality of debate/discussion, fairness of moderation ?

DeVore

If its reasonable and civil then sure... I'm not sure that we can do anything about the "quality" of debate but I'm open to suggestions...

We could ban people who are spas.

Ah there would be a few of us.
It's quality not quantity that counts.

Yes, but as soon as the n*z* word is mentioned, I'm sure we'll have reached the end of logical debate

Sure is "Double D"..... but one sometimes finds these take on a life of there own and tend to wander down the garden path, taking along with it all resemblence of the original thought or query.......

I once knew a girl who referred to a German boy's penis as his "little Hitler".

Sometimes this forum makes me want to lay about myself with a lump hammer.

In fairness MAJD, the rot had already set in at post #3...I'm looking at you hulla! Cloud attempted to rescue it but then Sarky wandered in...


EDIT: On reading Dundalk Daily's suggestion once more, I'm intrigued, what had you in mind? Seriously!

Honestly, I fail to see how I don't make a good point.

OFF TOPIC: I like the fluidity of the phrase "lay about myself with a lump hammer". I'll be using it in future conversations.

ON TOPIC: I don't really have anything further to ad. Go home team though!

I don't really understand the phrase "lay about myself with a lump hammer". How do you lay about yourself? Is it for people who are double jointed?

To answer the OP's question: It's perfectly alright, there have been times when changes are made based on user feedback. However you'd get a better response if you make polite equiries to the moderator in question via pm.

I'd advise NOT going for the "whole system is at fault" kind of approach. Even the mighty admins can't see the whole of boards at one time, at least in not in any way that would answer your question.

If you post a rational question here you'll get a rational answer. And pictures of owls. And probably cats as well.

And hammer based self abuse.

I could show you? Here's a hint - it doesn't involve me hitting me.

If self praise is no praise, surely the same can be said for self abuse?
