    Why is it that certain threads are allowed in After Hours yet others are moved to their correct forum or even locked. Why is it that every sport related thread started will be either locked or moved, be it a thread about Wayne Rooney's affair or the latest Championship action. Yet threads about politicians, the presidential race etc aren't moved to the political forum? Should articles on the pope and the catholic church not be in the religious forum? TV licence thread in the Television forum? I could go on….

    Even look at After Hours today. A thread about Viagra was moved to the Gentlemans Club yet the one about penis size remains in After Hours! Where the consistency? Either move them all or don’t move any!

    Some threads are serious about the topic being discussed... others are not...

    I have no idea, seems very inconsistent

    After hours is an off topic type forum so subjects that would or could be discussed seriously in their appropriate fora are discussed here in a more light hearted/puntastic way.

    Some threads are deemed by the moderaptors to be more in keeping with the specific forum and not AH.

    One may not doubt the mod's supreme intellect in all matters pertaining to threads, forums and life in general for to do so would bring eternal banishment in the bog of eternal stench ( I watched Labyrinth yesterday).

    Our mods who arth in the internet, hallowed be thy name. Forgive us our trolling and lead us not into going off topic.

    Usually the ones on big events are left, as new threads will just keep popping up.

    A sport thread is a sport thread and should be kept to sports forums but the politics thread's in After Hours are usually quite a lot different than those in the politics forum.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,918 ✭✭✭✭orourkeda


    moved to the " stop whinging " forum


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,584 ✭✭✭TouchingVirus


    Those damn AH mods...they need to stop being so human, and thus inconsistent :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 81,223 ✭✭✭✭biko


    It's to keep the posters confused.

    Viagra is Gentlemen's pill where as penis size concerns the nation as a whole.

    Shut up and keep chanting, don't draw attention to us. Haven't you seen The Fortress? That was based on real life boards.ie HQ!!! You'll get me intestinated!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭BluesBerry


    This is why I use after hours the most because of the variety of subjects all in one place and its easier to follow them and yeah it can be annoying that threads get moved / closed saying it has already been posted in lets say the leitrim forum in one I would never visit

    sometimes it would be nice if threads would be just left here to get a different view, the other forums around boards are strict moderation and jokes and puns would not always be permitted

    I once started a thread about getting a cramp in me "No man's Land" and that got moved from AH....surely that was the place for it!

    I can still remember the pain and discomfort of that cramp, was so sore and soooo unexpected!

    I've heard it makes you more sensitive or something, thus making the whole thing a lot more enjoyable

    Threads that have anything to do with sport will inevitably end up turning into bickering matches much quicker than other threads.

    That is quite ironic
