Sick of being told to "Go to After Hours"

keanooo · 2011-05-30 22:22:03

Anytime I make any type of mildly humourous or controversial comment on any of the other fora I get the moderators jumping on me saying either "This isn't After Hours you know" or "Save that for After Hours son!".

Anytime I make any type of mildly humourous or controversial comment on any of the other fora I get the moderators jumping on me saying either "This isn't After Hours you know" or "Save that for After Hours son!".

For example a few months ago I complained on the politics forum that if the government slashed the dole by too much I was going to protest by going returning to work... Mods all over me.

Today on an "Online Dating" thread a lady, Jenna69 no less, said she wished someone would bring her out for a few drinks and see where it led. One fella replied by saying (in all seriousness) that he couldn't stay out late but that they could go for afternoon coffee instead... In a moment of madness I suggested his reply was "totally gay". I got a few snarky comments on the thread (I exercised restraint by not replying "Maybe you are all homosexual"), was warned by one mod, told it wasn't AH and then was banned from the forum two hours later by another mod.

Is this normal? Is this what boards is about?

Mods from other forums telling people to post their random, useless & unwanted shite in After Hours?

Yeah. Pretty much.

best thing you can read on here op is that boards.ie does NOT allow "free speech" .... mods say it, management of the site say it. :rolleyes:

there is a bit of hypocrissy on boards when you think about it.
After hours is a forum designed for "joke posts" (or another term can be used) ... now, a user can make a totally disgusting joke post about someone dying or a serious incident. However, dare you post any negitive post towards another user automatic fraction and or ban.

In fact, I wouldnt be surprised if this post gets locked :rolleyes:

Yeah. I had loads of other examples, but I decided not to type them out because they would have made me look like a bit of a prick...

Politics forum is a joke when it comes to modding to be fair.

She sounded alright. At least she had a sense of humour, unlike the other moistys over there.

It is obvious some people/mods treat AH as a joke forum.

This belongs in Feedback or DRF.

Your posts were trolling though.
