Should the GAABOARD Shut Down

[rosnarun]

Former Kerry Footballer reckons you're all full of crap and has kindly asked for people to desist
should we?

Donaghy is a pain in the arse

[An Fhairche Abu]

If the GAA was to do one thing, I'd shut down everyone one of those forums

If the GAA can figure out how to and then successfully police the Internet, well - forget about just the amateur sporting context - we will truly have the greatest organisation in the world.

Former Kerry Footballer reckons you're all full of crap

In all fairness to Kieran though, I can't argue against a Kerryman being able to spot someone who is full of crap, aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile

How many online trolls are there on this site?
Isn't it more of a reference site for journalists rather than a GAA version of 4chan?

I read the article. He is mostly correct except the GAA can't really do much. Perhaps it could ask Hoganstand to shut down their forums (mostly toxic and of no use) and clubs/counties but an independent forum like this?

To be honest when I started here it was really informative, very witty and bullshit intolerant. If you came in acting the maggot you got a few slaps to knock the corners off you and on we went. It's still the best place I've found if you're looking for information but the bullshit has largely taken over.

Ultimately I don't know what the answer is. I'm still here I suppose.

Star's other brainwave was that AFL clubs should compensate clubs for taking their players. Another thing that was completely unenforceable.

[Captain Obvious]

A insult to the hard working moderators whom filter out the trolls at best they can on here. Ziggysego must be furious with those Kieran Donaghy remarks

[imtommygunn]

I think in general it's fine though I do find some of the bile directed towards Mickey Harte (by a select few Tyrone people) a bit much and don't know why the perpetrators haven't been banned. That aside there's a bit of slabbering and maybe the odd liverpool man united thing goes a bit far but that's about it.

That's my sense of it too, although I'm never quite sure if it's also a reflection of me getting older and becoming less tolerant of the BS.

Either way, I'm still here too, so I usually just stay seated with my mouth shut!!

No.

Social media abuse is a wider societal problem. 'Board abuse' (of which I don't see that much of) will only transfer to other media forms.

The year 2020 - people are so sensitive, just let it fly over your head OR if it's really bothering you go speak to a professional on how to deal with fame and the praise/ criticism that comes along with it.
