Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    I've had my thread entitled "Does boards.ie support totalitarian censorship?" completely deleted from this forum with no explanation, no notice, nothing. It's a if it never existed even though it had two replies, one of which was from a moderator from another section of boards.ie. Imagine that. :rolleyes:

    So, this is one conspiracy we can safely say is true. :D

    Shocking stuff I must say, fairly sure I commented on it aswell, was wondering where it went from my CP, so came here to check on it.

    That would imply Boards.ie did nothing but parrot State agenda and propaganda, all the while hailing the great leader for making the sun shine.

    You'll discover a lot of dissent is well-permitted here.

    Accusations of Boards.ie ltd. having its Own political agenda on the other hand, should be directed to hello@boards.ie or PM DeVore

    IIRC he did post it in feedback, and was told take it to the CT section.

    You're saying my thread was not deleted? Where'd it go then? A mod even posted on that thread. I can't remember his name but his location was Syndey, Australia. His post was "Without a doubt -- Yes". I didn't know if he was joking or not, apparently he wasn't.

    Edit: Mahatma Coat also posted on that thread, 2nd post. I resent being called a liar.

    I'm sure many regular posters who come here to exchange thoughts and ideas would disagree. Maybe admins or whoever pay the fees for the server (Google does actually) but these are our boards. We make it what it is. Without us boards.ie is completely pointless. The site owners would do well to remember that.

    For now....:D

    But yeah, the thread was deleted.

    I would imagine it was because it had degenerated into a bitching session about Scofflaw within about 3 or 4 posts. It wasn't a CT it was a veiled attempt to insult and badmouth a CMod

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,202 ✭✭✭Jeboa Safari


    Yet it remains massivley popular.
    I think its overmoderated too, but they can do what they like with it, its there board, and what they're doing would appear to be working, because I don't know of a more active board in the country

    It wasn't at all. I've made complaints that go nowhere. I've reported posts and nothing happens. That's what it was about.

    If there were posters dragging the thread down, they should have been asked to leave by mods.

    I'm open to correction....but I don't think accusing a mod of "totalitarian censorship" is part of the disputes resolution procedure.

    The procedure is simple. You mail the mod. If you're not happy with their response, you mail the CMod (nesf) If you're still not happy, then you go to the help desk. If you are still not happy then....you can safely assume you are the problem and not the moderator.

    PS I've a feeling that this thread is going to be dissapearing soon enough too.

    yea i saw it last night on boards.ie too...by the way has anybody noticed how nothing exciting is posted on the cork city thread !!

    I'm quite aware of the complaints procedure. I posted that thread as I believe that my complaints were falling on deaf ears. I've had several posts deleted with no mod notice, now I've had a complete thread deleted. Do you see where I'm going with this?

    As far as I know he founded boards.ie, so thats how he'd know if they have a secret agenda.
    When did he leave the mason's?, or is it a decoy and really he's still in the funny handshake club..........

    Going from memory here, but I think he said he left. It was in one of the threads here.
    Where's talkiewalkie?, why was he banned?, anybody know??,
    Now that is a good question!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,205 ✭✭✭espinolman


    Why was talkiewalkie perma banned ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,069 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    Threads like this never end well. There's a sitewide rule which states that moderating decisions are not to be discussed outside of Feedback and Helpdesk, which is why I assume the other thread was deleted.

    If you keep posting about the issue outside of those 2 forums and ignore the warnings not to do so, you'll most likely get a ban.. and it's not worth it really

    What question's did he ask?

    When did he ask them?

    On what thread?

    On what forum?

    Who did he ask these questions?

    How many questions can one poster ask before being banned?

    Can you make your questions sound like suggestions and avoid the ban?

    Why is a freemason running boards?

    Is devore a shapeshifter?

    Does he eat babies?

    Does he invite cmods round to his place for sex orgies?

    I made a thread in the Bargain Alerts section "bargain alerting" users of the very cheap prices on some of the sexlines on the Sky Digital channels, namely Dirty Talk (sky digital 920) offering 35p per min, and Filth (sky digital 921) offering 50p per min.

    It was deleted without any warning or explanation the day after.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 710 ✭✭✭TheReverend


    demonspawn is probably butthurt because a mod warned him several times to stop being an idiot, I think he was eventually banned for a week.

    Yeah I posted in that thread, It was a Valid Point being raised in the CT Forum,

    'are Some of the Mods openly Biased and Hostile to CT?'

    Obviously by the deletion of the thread we get our answer.

    Scofflaw is a law unto himself, he is Definitley hostile to CT, and rather Rude, Condesvending Arrogant & Ignorant towards anyone who posts something he disagrees with.

    The thread should not have been deleted IMO as it was rather relevant to the CT forum.

    AAAAAAANYWAY, I suggest we wait til Bonkey gets back and ask him to have a word with Scofflaw,


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,460 ✭✭✭demonspawn


    Ok, points have been made and hopefully they've been taken on board by the relevant parties.

    Requesting this thread be locked before it descends into madness. (comparatively speaking, of course ;))

    And for clarification, I deleted the last thread as it was full of accusations against Boards users, was full of abuse, didn't belong here. I'd have deleted this one, but Bonkey got to it first. This is not a conspiracy, it's enforcing the charter (which, as Bonkey points out, we were asked to do more rigidly).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,980 ✭✭✭meglome


    I don't see the issue... there is a clear charter for the forum and every forum on boards.ie. If you want to post you have to follow them, as does everyone else. Every time I've been infracted or told to cool it I have without question been breaking or bending the rules. Given the constant crying from some people in here with the slightest criticism of their beliefs you think they'd be glad of these strict rules.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,443 ✭✭✭✭bonkey


    Somehow, I missed demonspawn's request to have this thread locked.

    Thread locked...and I've removed my now-obsolete posts from earlier today
