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.

    Hi guys,

    Just wondering if you were in charge of boards what would you do?

    I suppose evil laughter would be high on the agenda, along with vague promises of "change". After that, business as usual.

    Allow inconceivable amounts of porn!

    Change the colour of the 'Subscriber' stars - anything but sick coloured :(

    I'd ban Cloud and DeVore. Why? Because only when you have eliminated those who went before you can you be a true dictator.

    After that? Dunno, boards pretty much runs itself


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,345 ✭✭✭landsleaving


    Attempt to mobilise a revolutionary force, only to realise that boards.ie can't agree on anything and be executed by my subordinates (the mods)

    Create 2 different boards armies each week and have them fight.

    First up
    The Gentlemen's Club v The Ladies Lounge

    Everywhere.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭zero19


    Free custom avatars for all!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,345 ✭✭✭landsleaving


    My money's on the Ladies Lounge, it's partly made up of blokes desperately trying to impress women, so they'd have added incentive to fight.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 10,087 Mod ✭✭✭✭marco_polo


    Tar and feather double posters ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,273 ✭✭✭Morlar


    Put the moderators of the politics forum on a permanent swap cycle. Every moderator on boards has to moderate politics for one week then move on to the next moderator in the list.

    That and scrap (then delete) the 'green issues'/sustainability forum.

    Sell it to Daft.ie

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Insist that all avatars are 150 x 150 pornographic video GIFs.

    That's what all the best forums allow.

    I can foresee boards being third or fourth in a google search for 'twogirls.gif'.

    I'd make this a private forum and ban access request from all other male boardsies. :cool:

    Ban everyone who takes a random unrelated topic and always turns it into northside vs southside, townie vs culchie or northern Ireland vs RoI argument! So bloody annoying!

    Allow pics to be posted in AH (within limits).
    (Although I know why they are not allowed)

    I'm colourblind, are they really that bad?

    What I would do is have eac different forum sponsored by a different company.

    Allow advertisers to PM members - just ten a day, nothing crazy.

    Adverts everywhere.

    Auction off the mod positions to the highest bidders.

    Then buy a Veyron.

    If Jay-Z can have one, why can't I? :mad:

    Limit Mods Tenure.-Replace more often.

    Some are modding sections waaaay too long.

    Yup - imagine goin out on a 36 hour bender, ending up eating at abrakebabra then puking your ring up on the ground - the sick is the colour the stars are... :)

    I would delete posts seemingly at random and normally in the early hours without notifying the poster or anybody else or giving a reason. Then when the OP arises in the morning with a hangover and checks to see what replies he got to his humorous comments posted the night before after the pub crawl he wont know if he dreamt it or forgot to press "Submit Reply" before his head collapsed asleep on the keyboard.

    Then I would issue infractions to people on here who hint that I might be ginger.

    move the servers to a country with very lax or non existant libel/slander laws....then let the fun begin


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,705 ✭✭✭Johro


    Delegate, then nothing.

    Add a No thanks option.

    Put more pressure on mods to resolve disputes rather than just pass the buck.
