    Some mod's are far far to strict. i agree with the op. Even content that would not get boards in trouble can result in threads being locked etc.

    If boards.ie was like the PROC then I wouldnt even bother looking at it. That forum is a complete disgrace.

    Most likely a banned user re-registering. I always get suspicious of posters with like 5 posts who have suddenly worked out that they hate Boards.ie and want to complain.



    Actually you're wrong, but with sound reasoning. I just heard a lot about this place but upon arriving i think its a bit ****. Similar to a Roma arriving in Ireland i imagine! ;)

    Ah now, people mightn't like you, but there's no reason to call yourself a gypsy.

    Hi im new here, im basically using this cause i cant access the Peoples Republic of Cork site from work. Anyway im really put off by the number of moderators in each thread and the idea that a thread can be locked just because someone has a dissenting view. Whats the story with this? It just makes things very difficult and results in a borefest of a forum.

    Typical Cork person. They leave home just so they can moan about how crap somewhere else is. ;)

    In the main forum (On PROC) I doubt there is a thread that is troll/WUM free. The place isn`t moderated at all. But if you are after a forum with zero integrity then its great.

    I didn't think we were due a free speech/fight the power thread until next week. Must be the holiday season.

    Well if you didn`t notice, boards.ie and proc are 2 totally different places. Proc is just a laugh, Boards is more useful/serious, and moderated. There is a revelation for you.

    So quit whinging and less insults please.

    After Hours is about as close as you'll get to PROC but even that is more heavily moderated than PROC on some topics.

    Is Feedback not fun? Try After Hours, which is where all the off-topic waffle goes.
