    Default The Boards & Moderation of Same

    Moderators and what that en-tails,jeezeee a tough gig as I well know.

    Loved doing when I was a mod and the boards were alive, but for that to remain you need to replace same with same.
    An Irish site needs locals who get the wit of its members and can defuse a situation with Irish charm ,failing that well the ban hammer, plus punting gave a better insight to it all.

    But a moderators life is short, hence why the new crew need time to bed in.Not many ladies interacting on boards which is a shame, but the trolls were left for too long before been shown the door.

    I wish the new crew the best as it’s a thankless job ,I’ve said enough, just my humble opinion .:doc
    Never mistake kindness for weakness .: doc

    deleting problematic posts instead of whole threads would be
    a good start

    Giving LDM the banhammer for 24 hours would do the world of good.

    Could not agree more here , it got brutal here for a number of years with advertisers being targeted in a disgraceful way . It has been stated here many times that between 2017 and 2019 we lost many good posters here both advertisers and members

    Now getting at the trolls is difficult because the site is heavily moderated but we still have those here who target advertisers

    GDPR and VPN are part of it but it could and should have managed better

    The New Mod team will err on side of caution to start with so give them some room to find their feet

    The site is 5% of what it used to be these days .

    ''an Irish site needs locals who get the wit of it's members'' .... well said and I've made that point many times before.... you need to be Irish to get the 'craic' ... I mentioned in a previous post that the word 'Ireland' should be dropped from the title ... because Irish 'craic and banter' is not allowed or more to the point it is not recognised.... another solution is that all Mods should be Irish ... that might help them get the 'craic' .... less Pokers and PC .... so, to the non Irish members and Mods on this site ''leave us alone to slag each other off'' ..... watch Father Ted and Mrs Brown ... if you don't get the humour then stop posting here please '''''

    Thank you all for the advice, it is very helpful for the team and especially for me.
    I definitely don't have the Irish 'craic', but I have great masters here
    Feedback like this is always welcome
    It's hard to keep everyone happy but at least I always try to listen to everyone !

    Have a nice day!

    Cheers Savannagh ... maybe we need an 'Established Irish Members' page and we can take the 'piss' out of each other without the fear of bans or deletions .... so hands up all Irish on the site ... (26 counties please, our Northern friends are a dry bunch),,, ''craic craic !!!''
