    Its absolutely ridiculous that government policy affects Waterford so drastically and so detrimentally yet all criticism must be clamped down on like its a police state. This is quite possibly the most disgusting decision I've ever seen on this board.

    Cross posted from the main Boards.ie feedback forum which has has a similar thread running here

    Is it safe to say this idea hasnt worked and its okay to post as previously in the Waterford City forum? The sticky is still there, but looking at a few threads from over the past week or soit seems that all is back to normal

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056312935 recent political related stuff from post 72

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056959068 entire thread is political related

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056647129 post 148

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056962560 entire thread political related

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056960319 entire thread political related (this is the contentious technological uni thread which it was decreed was okay for political discussion)

    I highlight these not to be critical of the people who posted in them but it shows how unworkable the original idea is. The sticky is still there, it causes confusion, gets the occasional post but needs to go.

    I realise the weather is nice, we've just had a bank holiday weekend and the volunteer mods have lives away from Boards.ie, there has been other items moderated though and it would be nice to have this mess resolved

    I agree the original idea made no sense at all. It is difficult to discuss local issues without discussing politics as many of the issues are directly connected to local regional and national politics.

    Otherwise this is a local bulletin board with posts about lost cats and the best chipper in town.

    Can we get rid of the superthread and go back to normal now.... there's too many issues being discussed in it to follow arguments for a while now... For example: how is it possible have a coherent discussion on rates increases for examples in the middle of a feud between pro and anti abortion groups?

    original idea was censorship, hey its worked ! look at the amount of people banned in the last few weeks ! I reported a post from a mod what was done ? nothing ! bar the original thread was altered after the fact by a different. mod ! would highlight it more barring the particular thread was related to a tragedy ! whole waterford city thread has gone downhill in the last few weeks but hey least FG are not being attacked !
