LaoisGAA is not a moderator on this site lads. Certainly he is not GAAboardmod3.

Syd - I edited your post becuase of personal abuse. See the posting standards thread.

OK, I can confirm that an Fear Rua is not affiliated in any way with An Fear Rua website, or the owner of that website, whom a lot of us know. The name might cause confusion alright, but that is the height of it, and as far as I know, he is not infringing on copyright, patents or anything else.

Hope that clears it up.

Cheers.

I knew it wasn't The Real Slim Shady. that's why I used quotes around the name.

Why are the school holidays so long?    

Personal abuse by 'Slim Shady'. Gone.

Hi All,

Due to the complaints from several people, I have agreed with AFR that this thread will be closed, and the picture taken down. However, he has a valid poll running, and if the majority are happy, then there will be a thread for 'Tastless Jokes', but it will be clearly marked as potentially offensive.

We will keep an eye on the thread to make sure it does not break rules regarding libel/personal insults/racism etc etc, that would leave this board open to legal problems, but as long as it proceeds in a mostly humerous vein, it will be allowed, assuming of course it wins the vote.

If we feel the thread contains unacceptable posts, it will be closed down.

I hope this is an acceptable compromise, as the area of 'taste' is very subjective and hard to legislate for.

Regards

Slim, easy on the insults alright.

Everyone else, this thread is ridiculous. I'm locking it.

Alright lads, 69 pages or whatever is long enough for this topic, especially as we seem to recycle after every 4 or 5 pages or so. As we seem to embarking on a new spiral of name calling and regurgitating the same stuff again and again, I think it is time to blow the long whistle on it, especially as this thread is the source of at least 60% of reported posts on its own.

Feel free to open another thread about the subject when something happens in the courts or whatever.Any issues with me locking this thread, please PM me.

Thanks
Mod 3

Hitmaster.Please desist from the silly name calling.

We had a rash of lads like this after Christmas. They all got canned. Let's not start again.

Cheers

This topic has been moved to Non GAA Discussion .

No need to get smart dublinfella. Your last post laid a serious allegation about a criminal act against a GAA club. The post was reported, and I agreed that it was a dangerous thing to leave on the board.

If you have issues about other posts, please report them, so that the moderators can act if we feel necessary. We do not have the time or energy to scroll down every thread, and you would want the patience of Job to go through this one.

I have tried to be fair in this stilly tit-for-tat battle you are having, and have asked people to refrain from insults etc. I haven't looked since, but I have not had any reported posts either.

Dublinfella,

Your last post on this topic contained very serious allegations, which are probably libel. I have no interest in defending this website in a lawsuit because of comments you, or anybody else makes, so I have edited and removed the offending piece of the post.

I am reluctant to lock the thread, because it would probably re-emerge again in another topic, but can everyone just take a moment and ask themselves 'What is the point?'. This is going around in circles and the only new stuff is the various insults being bandied about.

Fork and Croi,

Please stop the personal insults. The PM tool is there if you want to send each other abusive messages.

Cheers

I didn't see that post to be honest. Now that I have, It is certainly not in the same league as your post, in my opinion. The difference in my view is that people can disagree with that statement and have a discussion. Your post was inflammatory, and a poster child for the type of posts we are trying to eliminate.

OK. first time in in a couple of days and I see this from Slim. You can't say you weren't warned. Can I please ask that other posters do not bring the tone down by retaliating. He is banned, but I am leaving the post here in case there is a question as to why.
