Ill ignore that (since it failed anyway).

Mod Note: Right, I think its time to get this thread back to normal. If someone has an issue with the moderation of this forum, please send one of the mods a PM or myself and Dub13 if you prefer. Generally questioning any moderators decision in thread or an attempt at trolling is a result in banning, but ill pass this off as a misunderstanding/drunken posting. Any issues with this, take it to PM (including responses). Any further questioning of mods or attempts at trolling will result in bans/infractions - iv given a warning.

Our neighbours in the UK are getting a heatwave from what I read, so hopefully their good weather will pass over our direction and retain the good conditions we have had so far for a while longer For the summer? I doubt we will be that lucky

Any thunderstorms your direction? One the other night in Wexford/New Ross, was great to watch.

you can silence me but you in the process will silence the carlow foruM!

Well to be honest and let this be a formal open letter to all in this forum. And i would not like it to be moved as it is random and also very relevant to the posters of carlow.

To be honest i am very disappointed in the forum. It is no longer what it used to be. It is blatantly obvious to anyone that myself and other users have been posting less frequently in this forum as well i speak for myself there is a loss of the community spirit here. There has become almost a censorship on this forum in the past few months and it has to stop. I don't want to question of point the blame at anyone but there are limits to what the rules can be applied to.

Moderation is to be about following and enforcing the rules but it must also go hand in hand with common sense. I started as mod sometime around last september i think and this forum had little or no traffic as to that fact you made comments to me in person sully about its lack of traffic. Myself and Patrick at the time worked on the forum, started interesting topics and posters joined in and then as time progressed we sat back as they started the topics and took the forum to the high happy sense of community togetherness that it experienced at its peak. The forum attracted new posters with its new lease of life and a fair few of these posters became regulars and a really strong community bond was formed. We are all on first name basis with each other. That is unheard of in any other county forum.

Where the hell did it all go wrong. What has happened to the carlow forum. This needs to be said. I'm speaking for the community of posters who make the carlow forum what it is. So no this shouldn't result in a ban. I've been contacted by posters of this forum airing their disappointment that they no longer find any pleasure posting here. THIS IS WRONG and it needs to change and quick because otherwards you can welcome back the early days of 2-3 posters maximum which certainly wont require the 3 active mods we have.

I've watched the forum grow and to be fair its pretty ****ty seeing it decline now. If you want move this to feedback but leave it here also for the carlow people to see because there are a lot who agree and without us you wont have a forum. It's a democracy for crying out loud, laugh bicker and snide remark if you want but i used to enjoy posting here and i no longer do. I'm not alone on this and if it warrants me getting a ban then to be honest i don't care because i couldn't be arsed posting here anymore.

what are you playing at you lunatic.

I don't think you are fighting for the equal rights of blacks or the abolition of communism or any such thing.

right i am going out for a cigarette, i think everyone here could do with one too.

@Aynon, would it be too late to put in that letter of complaint now

aynon

Mod Note:
anyon banned for a week, after ignoring my PM.

stick-dan; Take it to Feedback. This is not the place and you know it. Also, read the PM also sent to you.

Everyone else; Excuse the interruption, carry on as normal and as per earlier in thread warning.

EDIT: I'm happy to discuss any issues, with the CMod of Region Dub13 and the forum mods over PM or in Feedback about any issues you have here. I'm aware of some, but when discussed, both myself and Dub13 advised the lads (including Dan at the time) that the Carlow forum may have its own community but it must adhere to the concept of what Boards.ie is about, which sadly means what you want you simply cant have. I cant see how any further discussion on that can change - that type of call would have to be made by an Admin for starters, if not the site founders. If you have an issue with moderation or anything else - dragging the Carlow forum down isn't helping and is against Boards.ie Rules which we (the mods and cmods) are here to enforced. You guys all know how to contact us, and we will do what we can to keep things happy but the ethos of Boards.ie and its rules we cant break as its what our job is.

Once again, I ask we keep to the concept of this thread and not discuss forum or moderation issues. Id prefer not to issue any further bans or infractions, so please lads, just take note of the communication methods I have given and use them only. Thanks.

No thunder this evening or tonight I'm afraid lads and lassies



That big blob of bad weather (fine meteorlogical phase there! ) will clear us shortly making way to what will hopefully be a dry, clear, evening/night.

Its only 16c here in Carlow town, but the humidity is 89%, hence the reason why its a little sticky and heavy.

Super-Rush

Caught some great lightening on the way home from Portlaoise on Thursday night. It was over the Kildavin/Bunclody area. A few people i spoke to told me the thunder woke them up. I always miss it.
