(Site is a graveyard - How can boards save itself?) Any update?

Well, it's Vanilla..

Also, "most thanked post" is probably going to be something offensive.

7 minutes before this you are accusing a poster of soapboxing and their style of posting.

Here you are a few minutes later baiting a poster to come back to cause arguments.

Your post is a deliberate attempt to get a dig in at someone and to drag the thread off topic, it has nothing to do with feedback.

Maybe you should revisit your own posting style before offering advice on other people's.

This is a great example of what mods need to tackle, blatant attempts to cause arguments that end up spamming and ruining threads, tackling these would make things much easier for everyone.

This is completely untrue and total misrepresentation.

ORCs is used a term of abuse for the Russian officials, military and mercenary scum conducting illegal war on Ukraine, inflicting warcrimes and atrocities including looting, execution of civilians, rape and the kidnapping of children.

To be fair I think the original suggestion suggested that current affairs/politics would be excluded. It was to highlight fun threads.

You haven't explained anything. You weren't asked about its feasibility.

"You don't agree with personal abuse" is a lot way off agreeing that it should be sanctioned by mods.

I think it is obvious now that multiple times you've dodged a straightforward question:

So is thanking such a plainly abusive post being a dick or not? Yes or no?

Your lack of answer speaks for itself and proves that such conduct is being a dick.

You have complained about others piling up on you and of posters being run off threads. Yet you outright dismiss others who feel the same.

That's what my point is - is it one rule for you and another for those who disagree with you. From this thread alone:

And here you mention cliques, but take issue with someone else mentioning a cabal.

Are you right when you see these things but others are wrong when they do? I'm genuinely curious here because you don't seem to see the disconnect here.

This is gas. So you consider that posters who 1) ask intelligent questions relating to a thread and 2) take the time to phrase them correctly, are 'soapboxing'!!! Have you got something against the careful & appropriate use of language?

Maybe if it was written as "you ignored the question.. this ref is pure scutter and only the likes of yous will benefit. The fine gaelers are sh*tting their pants now as they don't want to lose another" then that would be acceptable??

And of course, I was quite correct in my analysis, was I not?? Dropped like a hot spud :)

And where does the poster call for the annihilation of all russian citizens?
That's an idiosyncratic definition of the phrase by one poster, it does not tally with Wikipedia's description of it or its common usage on boards or twitter.
So you can find posters calling for the annihilation of the invading Russian forces, and those involved with the prosecution of the war… so that they cannot inflict more damage and war crimes on Ukraine.
And you can find posters using the term ORCs, in the main referring to those same Russian forces… sometimes with a wider meaning, of Russians engaged in heinous, brutish nationalistic \ pro Putin \ anti Ukraine conduct.
But that's a million miles away from your original claim.

So where are these "hundreds if not thousands" of posts?

They don't exist.

It's surprising to see posters more concerned about the language used describing them, than the actual vile acts Russian forces are engaged in isn't it?

This is the actual act they are referring to:

Russia: 87-year old survivor of Stalin and World War 2 was assaulted by 'ordinary Russians' in downtown Moscow because he said Wagnerites are murderers.

Calling the people who did this ORCs is what bothers you?

I'm not getting into a back and forth with you.

I have already explained what I believe will help boards.ie continue.

I have seen posters being run off threads by groups/ cliques and new people getting short shrift and not coming back. That is my opinion on a feedback thread.

One person who accused people of pile on here because 4 people responded to them then decided to put what came up on screen as a billboard size poster of a Mod's comments from another thread here with the words……I dont want to get the boot in, but…and immediately proceeds to get the boot in.

I also think you should re-read some of your own comments on this thread.
