How do you think we can improve After Hours?

AlmightyCushion · 13-02-2009 12:40am #1

So here we are, the time you lot get to stick your oar in and let us know what you think about after hours and how we can improve on it. We would appreciate constructive criticism though, so none of your "it's a load of bollix" please.

When thanks was brought in it was removed from after hours and a few other forums. Due to the amount of users asking for it to be brought in, it was decided that it should be given a trial run and here we are. So you guys do have the power to change things. The way this forum is run is based quite a lot on user input so your thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks for reading and we're looking forward to your replies.

The answer should be......"my ma" :P

Keep the thanks, it's working well here.

Overall, I think AH is grand, can't think of anything major that needs changing. Javaboy and Doc Bollocko are doing good jobs as new mods. When javaboy posts in bold, it gives me the horn. I'd go gay for him, if he was up for it.

Believe me I've been tempted many a time (I actually did it once in a thread because there was so many of them deleted). We are kinda wary about banning people for using yore ma. Simply because it's a pretty crap thing to get banned for. I have warned and banned people before for excessive use of it and I will definitely continue to do so.

agreed.

using YORE MA is crap enough, without getting banned for it as well.

He's mine. I can't see a reason to drop thanks. It hasn't been abused or delibritely whored in any major way that we haven't been able to stop so far. A lot of people seem to like it so I'm happy to leave it be.

i second that

oh and ban people who point out spelling mistakes- its just sad

Diabhal Beag · 13-02-2009 1:00am

I don't see anything that needs improvement. Yore Ma is an old gag that has gone old, but its a good way of finding out who has nothing valid to say in a thread and just wants attention.

Javaboy and Dr.Bollocko are doing a fine job so fair play to them

it's :cool:

KnifeWRENCH · 13-02-2009 1:08am

Eh, the YORE MA is old, unoriginal and 99 times out of 100 cringeworthingly unfunny. But banning it is going a tad far.
I'd like to also recognise the great job dr.bollocko and javaboy have done so far. Overall I think AH really doesn't need much improving.

+1. Spelling/grammar Nazis are worse than people who use txtspk imo.

Is it that time of year again?

Pighead · 13-02-2009 1:17am

When deleting a user's posts it might be an idea to send the user a quick PM to let them know why said post was deleted. It'll save them from making the same mistake again and ultimately become a better user.

No, ikkypoo got laid a month or so ago. Didn't you see the thread?

Kiera · 13-02-2009 1:32am

Can we quit the flirting on threads? Take it to pm or VM people.

Epic Tissue · 13-02-2009 1:36am

Allow images to be posted. Maybe have it so that it is posted as a link or thumbnail but when you click it, it expands?

....and a few times since, but I thought starting a thread every time it happened would grow old and stale quicker than Yore Ma

Unfortunately that won't be happening. Too much potential for some serious muppetry.

That's something for CuLT. I'd say it would be a lot of effort though if it would even work at all.

Stop countless threads asking.. 'How do you think we can improve After Hours?'

Only kidding

Keeping thanks is good as it shows how the general mood of a thread is flowing and the mods do a good job keeping threads civil.

I would love for the guys who would get up and anything to be banned too but we'd be left with a pretty empty boards

"No thanks" (button)?

The admins ruled that one out a long time ago. It would make the thanks system too much like the rep system which was abused and removed.

How do you think we can improve After Hours?
