I don't disagree with any of that.

I'm lucky as I don't need to use the PROC as a genuine outlet and I suspect we're in the same boat in this regard. Not in my 50s either! Some posters do genuinely use this place as an outlet, and it must feel like there's always the threat of posters weaponising what you posted here while feeling vulnerable or because you had noone IRL to speak to. Why make it hard for people who already find it difficult?
I don't disagree with you, but I have this conversation with my husband regularly enough and his answer is always the same

"because people are c**ts"

Youd be a lot better off using the PROC as a genuine outlet than getting smashed on yokes in Galway 😉

à few posters here would want to cop on and live proc life as real life because as was posted by many poster during tje christmas hiatus, this place could be an actual outlet for someone going through real life social problems and can’t translate that into a real world encounter. they see this place as a stepping stone.
I couldn’t agree with you more Dukey. I would point out that some poster(s) who regularly accuse others of oversharing or being needy (who the hell doesn’t need human interaction?!) can be the very same posters who then weaponise what information people choose to share and use it against them.

Maybe they should ask themselves the question. If I am being banned so often is it really other posters that are the problem?

I also agree that going back over someone’s posts to find gotcha moments to report to admin is poor form.

Maybe that's just your husband's experience. :unsure:


There's plenty of nice people out there. I think everyone is entitled to the benefit of the doubt. Of course if they show themselves to be actual c**ts then it takes much longer to forgive them having extended the benefit of the doubt to them in the first place.

Maybe admin should be stronger and not pander to such people. If Admin instituted a rule whereby anything that Admin has left up for a year or more shouldn't be a banning offence (if it's offensive then surely it should be taken down rather than left in place and the original poster banned), and that in any given period of time, nobody should be allowed dob in more than one poster - say a maximum of one Report per year or whatever.
