    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...

    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, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,584 ✭✭✭TouchingVirus


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    It's to keep the posters confused.

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

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 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

    Can we get a "stop whinging" forum?

    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.

    no, some women do take viagra (not just talking about trans)

    I've never taken viagra though

    Except maybe religion, which is I suppose a blood sport in AH, while football is a devout religion for many.

    That's right.Just big events.

    Took a huge solid dump out in Killiney Castle Hotel after a wedding over the weekend.

    Burst a clump of arse-grapes and had to leave as I was wearing a white tropical suit.

    I had to say somebody put a strawberry cheesecake on my chair for a bit of fun:mad:

    Thread is up on AH hours under 'Killiney Debacle' still there so I'm told.

    Was a big event though.

    Because, that's why


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    As Mods we have a certain quota we have to reach. x amount of locked threads and x amount of moved threads, this goes for bans and infractions. You may notice that a lot get locked together, this is when we have let it slip and we need to meet the quota.

    If we don't meet the quota we don't get the coke and hookers.

    Hurry up, we'll have to close this soon.

    When people do that I really dont think they are trying to be funny. Alot of members just get annoyed at certain threads that are allowed in AH's when there is clearly a more appropiate forum for them, for example threads about a statue of a skanger on a horse somewhere in Dublin...

    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.

    A sport thread about the Wayne Rooney scandal would be alot different to the threads found in the soccer forum but those we either locked or moved 2 weeks ago...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 286 ✭✭mstan


    And why do Mods lock some threads and move others. If a thread belongs in another forum surely you move it, not lock it.
