It's the non-GAA thread. Welcome to Hoganstand.

Then by that metric we should be all still mad at the Vikings.

you need moderators but having to post a message and then wait if it goes up online with no reasons sent as to why or why not a post goes up on the open forum is madness. look at nearly any other forum
you cant have a proper convo with anyone on this site as its currently set up

100%. But also AKAs. Not easy for moderators to identify them but maybe could ask for ID to verify usernames are one per poster.

Think the moderators have found a few over the last year or two. Fair play to them. We can't mention names but they were insidious. Even had a few genuine posters on here supporting them.

I'm talking about Hoganstand forum. Too many AKAs.

do you know any web discussion forum that does require a person to put their own ID up to post?
Its hard enough to get people to post without having that and why would people want that to be in place?

GreenandRed (Mayo) - Too many AKAs.

My apologies in advance for the intrusion, also I'm not here to question your eligibility as a HS poster but simply to add a reminder that all posters here with the exception on none qualify as an "AKA" The question has to be asked, would you expect one or two posters here to post their ID but not yourself? Fair question.

We can go back a bit to a poster called "Tom Smith." AKA Tom Smith, over a short length of time Tom became accepted as an entertaining and popular poster if nothing else; he certainly got more replies in two or three months than I have in six or seven years.

I wouldn't like to see a time when this forum becomes the rightful owner of a few, the popularity of the club / county crest does help big time.

I hope my post is accepted as an honest one and in good faith.

PS. Congrats on Mayo's all Ireland success.

I'm talking about Hoganstand. I didn't say put up their own ID up to post. 'ask for ID to verify usernames are one per poster'. Hoganstand could verify a unique ID per username. Your username doesn't need to reveal the ID of any unique user. It would prevent people posting using more than one username.

I'm just going back to this one to point out that the very first line of the very first post on the very first page shows how the intention of the original poster was "a separate thread to discuss other sports".

Yet somehow it's morphed into all sorts of other things since then.

Politics are a type of bloodsport!
