I’ve deleted a heap of posts on the Limerick GAA thread and on the Dating thread.
(It won’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what they were about for anyone who visited those threads in the last few days. Please don’t enter into any sort of dialogue on why, it’s not for discussion).
I know plenty of posters here naively don’t give a shit about the consequences of anything they write but I do.
Under no circumstances is it acceptable to post and laugh about and ridicule someone on the basis of rumours about their private life. I don’t care that the rumours weren’t started on here.
And in a related, but different matter, I’ve written before about homophobia. I know it doesn’t suit some of the less enlightened posters to show any sort of maturity but I’ve no interest in winning a popularity contest. If you are posting racist or homophobic content you can expect to be banned. Just because you got away with something before doesn’t mean that will be the case again.
Apologies to the majority of posters who might find the tone of this preachy or dictatorial or whatever. Common sense is really all that is required.
And one final thing - very very few of you ever flag posts. If you see something that’s not acceptable, or that you suspect might not be acceptable can you flag it please?
On a slight tangent, I’d like to put it on the record that should I have ever mentioned a certain Spanish tennis player and drug use on this forum, that I completely rescind said allegations and trust that the matter has now been dealt with satisfactorily.
What about religious persecution on this site? I’ve never used the flag system as we’re all big boys on here but if someone says something derogatory about another religion should this not fall under the same category of banning the poster?
I don’t in any way underestimate the the stupidity or futile nature of the religious person. I don’t really know or care tbh but religion is something you choose, just like i’ve opted out of it. We stand by our choices for good or bad… trying to compare yourself to a victim of racism or homophobia is disgusting and stinks of a very needy and insecure person.
Certain religious factions on this island have an awful persecution complex. Must be all the guilt they carry from acts carried out against the good, honest to God, Catholics in the past.
