Should Admins be able to ban posters for being tubes?

Option 2: No

Option 3: Am I aware of irony
votes: 12
Should Admins should be able to ban posters for persistent gobshitery? This board is being polluted with nonsense on a consistent basis.
Have they to work out who these posters are, or will a list be provided?
In the gift of the Administrators.
The Armagh definition of being a tube could differ to the rest of the country, surely the admins need clarity?
Are you advocating censorship? This Board like all discussion boards has a diversity of opinion,which should be facilitated and even defended at all costs
In line with the Western World's lurch to right I'm advocating the banning of Gobshites who continually pollute threads with inane nonsense, if you think you fall into that bracket.....
Inane nonsense is down to individual perception
Yip, hopefully the Administrators if they take notice. Pretty sure if all posters were to name their Top 5 there'd be a fair amount of consistency in the choices.
Good idea, lets ban anyone who doesn't agree with the general consensus. Also if some posters seem to be gobshites then lets ban them too. It's a pity we don't have any 20th century examples of this kind of thinking.

Agreed or in 'Official' threads if you come in talking nonsense then you should be banned from that thread. I would view F365 forum they have official threads which you can't comment on if you're acting the bollix.

you're only going to ban most of the Northern posters here then so
I would actually agree with that, Connacht well represented too.
Quite the ill-conceived little thread this.
Consistent with some of the arrogant egotistical nonsense which several posters have been espousing lately.
Some people don't seem to want any dissenting opinions. It's curious behaviour.
Administrators would have the authority to use their initiative to determine genuine debate & ones acting the bollix.
What's to fear??
I would say one could name most of the 19 who currently voted yes. If you dont like it join another discussion group.
It's a discussion board, I'm advocating change through discussion, why would I leave?

1 or 2 or 3 I assume.
Most of the posts I read on this board,I would consider nonsensical and based on the prejudice of the originator.So judgement is entirely subjective

Wrong. People welcome all opinions, as long as they are sensible. There are a number of posters here, however, who seem intent on doing nothing other than winding people up and I don't see what the point is in that

Yip and as I stated already that should be in the Administrators' gift to decide. It's called being a moderator.

Troll
I propose that anyone unable to recognise a troll should be banned.

There's a difference between dissent and simple trolling.
Dissent is contrary opinion argued logically, honestly and with evidence. That is to be welcomed, always.
Trolling is just posting provocative, ill-supported nonsense in order to get attention or derail a discussion.
Trolling should be confronted, but, ultimately, if it doesn't stop, just ignored. Starve the troller of attention and he'll soon f**k off somewhere else. No need for bannings at all. Beyond the norms of decorum and respect, obviously.
This is a nonsense thread. Benny has to go.
Have you not already gave your opinion - a few times in different guises?😮
Isnt trolling completely subjective? So how doyou know if someone is trolling or not?
Anyway some people would consider Mr Fearon one but I think he actually serves an important function by drawing out facts and the basis of peoples of people's opinions (even if that is not his intention) he actually makes more people more informed. The Hillsborough thread wsa a good example of this
It's amazing how many people on here, when faced with an opinion which differs from their own, immediately get aggressive and dismiss the other person as a troll.

Tell us again how you think Klopps a clueless fcuker.
Purges come in 2 forms
the Stalinist version where the offending individual is neutralised
the anorexia version where the content is vomited
There is very little genuinely offensive stuff on the board thankfully but where there is it tends to come from Mr Partridge
and there is no moderation of it.

Speak for yourself, as one whose opinion is enhanced after discussion with a ..........troll.
It's completely incidental that the two outspoken adherents for free speech for trolls in this thread are the two most identifiable trolls on the board, those being the two who fit 100% the definition of what's a troll.
The problem though is with those who constantly feed the trolls, despite the blatantly obvious being demonstrated right in front of their eyes.

Im not sure If this would be irony or parody, maybe both.....
However, before I jump to any conclusions perhaps you could explain your intentions from your previous post, and moreover your intention when posting in every single Tyrone thread?

Maybe you could join the originator of the thread and ask admins to limit certain posters to certain threads?
I voted for 'Am I aware of irony'.
When do we get the answer?
It seems if you disagree with certain posters you're a troll, but if they put forward an opinion it should be accepted as infallible. Mind-boggling levels of egotism from these people.
For example I'm branded a troll for expressing my honestly held opinion that in taking Liverpool to 8th (EIGHTH!) in the League last season, Jurgen Klopp strikes me as a manager who isn't very good at his job.
I wouldn't have thought it was particularly controversial to suggest taking a top four capable side to mid-table obscurity was incompetent but apparently I'm either a Man Utd/Everton/Arsenal/Spurs supporter on the wind, a sad lonely virgin with too much time to kill, or another poster using an alternative login.
All completely baseless accusations. Apart from the virginity thing, I'm saving my unblemished innocence for my one true soulmate so please stop pestering me JoG2. And based on those unsolicited pics you sent me I fear you are suffering from genital warts.
Pleasantly surprised at the degree of self awareness amongst some of the most notable trolls on the board who are contributing to this thread.
How's the purge going - many casualties? Is Main Street locked out of the Tyrone threads, has seafoid had his posting curtailed by not being able to start threads, has muppet been told to get a job?
I haven't seen Tony Fearon on in a while.

If I had a job, I wouldn't be able to successfully demand your attention all the time!
And again, thanks.
If I can offer any advice on your first steps along the same road, don't hesitate........

Benny needs no one to agree with him, he is a good man that knows his own mind, I disagree with him here however but sure we all have our opinions.
Benny's attempts to deny free speech were deplorable.
Attempting nothing but stimulating debate.
I should really just have asked to be made an Admin and went postal.
Are those on the purge list not also stimulating debate - can't debate if you are banned?

There was an 80's Cop Movie were the Cops invited all the local criminals to a local hall saying they'd won a boat in a prize draw- when they turned up they were all arrested. Reminded of that myself.

Where's my boat!
This was a blatant attempt to stymie free speech,the cyber equivalent of building a wall round Mexico,that was always doomed to fail
People have died for the right to free speech. You should just take a big Redner :o

Really? They did that in The Simpsons too.
Sea of Love - Al Pacino
Wasn't the prize in the fake contest in Sea of Love a meeting with famous baseball players?
A long time since I seen it so could be wrong. Pacino character took pity on one of the "winners" who brought his kid along.
Simpsons did it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flAkPEeUhHY
Sea of Love is the original - based on a true Cop Sting as well. I do recall the Baseball element tho, could be an amalgam of the two or I could just be getting my wires crossed!
Bennydorano - lock him up!
