    Was just trying to gauge opinions before I started a thread, as they often seem to end up being an 'us vs. them', and I don't want to create any bad feelings when I go back to the forum.

    Hence why I wanted to see what others thought before I started a thread. If I felt others thought the ban was harsh, then I would appeal it and start a thread. If not, I don't want to start a thread that will in all likelihood not see my ban removed, but only serve as me having a pop at the mods decision.

    Well I replied to the mod with a link to the thread, but was told that they weren't buying for one minute that it was a joke and not meant to antagonise.

    Its a trap! Mods shouldnt have to take the time for you to explain your jokes. You know you take a risk when you have a bit of craic in a forum like soccer. If you want to appeal it I'd say Pm the mods. Take pvt.jokers advice and expect it to get you the reation you already know you'll get.

    Pm mod, if that doesnt work go to HelpDesk.

    DJ, I really don't think the people not turning up at your other night was personal. True, if someone more "well established" and well known on Boards (e.g. through IRC - whatever the hell that is!) hosted a night, more people might turn up - but that's simply because more people know them.

    And anyone who judges someone on the basis of them coming from the UK, is a muppet - and most people on Boards, to be fair, are not muppets (well not muppets to that extent anyway :)). That said, maybe there is a bit of a cultural divide - we Irish can be boorish with an extremely localised sense of humour, so I wouldn't blame someone who's English (or whatever) if they felt a bit left out - in fact I've seen it being the case for other English people I know. But god, no way is it personal.

    Yeah, those tags are crap for you if they're directed at you and now you're probably feeling frustrated that they're being left there, but that's not out of indifference - it's more a way of telling you to ignore them.

    OK I will cancel the Komedy Karaoke night. (actually that was the perfect name for it!!!) Maybe have it with the halloween beers or the best idea would be do the same as last year for the Xmas beers. (I promise not to dress like a fairy this time!) If we can get the room at the Met Bar it is a bit cooler so people might enjoy it more.

    All in all, seeing as it is the holiday season and there have been a firsr few beers recently, I should have known it wouldn't get much support. I would ask the mods to close the thread in events, thanks. Oh and I have even had a good laugh at all this! :D

    This has nothing to do with your nationality, DJ. To the credit of this site, sectarianism/racism has no place here. I had hoped you would have picked up on that by now.

    It has much more to do with one or two individuals who think they are much funnier then they are, and find the prospect of throwing an in joke about hilarious.

    The decision has been made to let the tags (all tags indeed) stand.

    This is the crux of the matter basically. Idiocy should be ignored when one can do nothing about it.

    No matter how much good you try to do (whatever the successes or failures of the last event-it raised a bloody nice chunk of dosh, which is more than some of the more vocal cacklers have done), there will always be those who jump on some self propogating meme in order to have a chuckle, be it in posts, podcasts, or over a pint in the pub.

    Those who indulge in this hyena like behaviour would do better to look past the awkward actions of a user, to favour the good that they do, or hell, maybe even drop them a diplomatic PM and nudge them in the right direction.

    In relation to the event itself, it would be better by far to incorporate it into the latter part of a beers, when people are drunk and ready to put their hands in their pockets.

    IMO.

    plus Irish people have a habit of saying they'll go when they have no intention of going. It's like the "Ah sure if you're ever in Ireland - you've a place to stay" - Foreign people think we actually mean that!

    See this is the problem I think a lot of people have with you. I've mentioned it on the thread in Events but I'll say it again. You seem to be trying to present yourself as the events organiser of boards.ie. You're not. Nobody is saying that you can't help out, but if you genuinely want to help raise money then you need to realise that the events need to be organised properly and also...not everyone wants to do karaoke. Oh and having a hissy fit when people don't turn up really isnt going to do you any favours.

    The Battle of the Bands at Christmas has become an annual event and the fact that you're unaware of that while also trying to be the "events guy" just reinforces the problem some people may have with you. Also trying to demand certain events is not the way to go. Maybe the majority don't want a Rocky Horror Halloween for the 20th anniversary of Official Beers. As Kharn said on the other thread, there are 3 things in the pipeline at the moment.

    Like I said, your attempts are admirable but they're going to fail unless you get some help from people who have a lot more experience in this than you do.

    What I was trying to say is a rocky horror party for halloween would be good, and last year there was no battle of the bands at the xmas beers. So I wondered how this was arranged. But anyway, water under the bridge and all that, let's leave it at that and I will try to co-ordinate my efforts with the organisors if I want to help out.

    I would suggest you wait to be contacted by the organisers of any events, I am sure they are aware by now that you're available and willing to help out. So they'll likely give you a shout if they need the help.
