Knowing my luck I'll get infracted for backseat modding but it's worth it

Just watch the "Thinly veiled .." responses roll in.

I'm making up a lot of phrases that should be banned from After Hours right here:

• Sh*t my pants and call me Betsy!
• My cat said to say hi.
• Flatulent Larry! Flatulent Larry! Flatulent Larry told me to do it!
• We call that being Shortalled!
• Pull the other one OP, and do it hard and fast, now slow, now slower, now fast again. That's it.
• Bless him/her with prayer.
• Cold Shoulder Bro.

Get the **** rid of it please. People clearly have no sense of when enough is enough. This should probably be in feedback or some such.

"How in God's Hairy Hole" should definitely be permabanned.

If you pay them a small sum they'll probably do that, but I can't remember what that small sum is, I know it's more than three and less than four.

It's a blend of "infraction" and "infarction" i.e. what you get if someone reads your post and has a heart attack.

Let's ban everything.

EdanHewittt

I voted yes for a ban.

Previous to this post, a mod closed a thread I made with this.

I am too lazy to PM him asking for the thread to be kept open, so I'm posting it here.

- Thinly veiled Abortion bashing threads
- Thinly veiled Traveler bashing threads
- Thinly veiled Non national bashing threads
- Thinly veiled Skobe bashing threads
- Thinly veiled D4 / Southsider bashing threads
- Thinly veiled politician bashing threads
- Thinly veiled bashing of those on Welfare Benefit (Legit or not)
- Thinly veiled Low paid job bashing threads
- Thinly veiled Begrudgery of those successful in life threads
- Thinly veiled Multicultural bashing threads
- Thinly veiled Illegal Immigrant bashing threads
- Thinly veiled 'Celtic Cub' / 'Former Celtic Cub' bashing threads
- Thinly veiled 'Breakfast roll man' bashing threads
- Thinly veiled Garda bashing threads
- Thinly veiled attempts at trolling the feminazi's that lurk in AH
- Thinly veiled area bashing / worst type of place in Ireland threads
- Thinly veiled culchie bashing threads
- Thinly veiled contrived threads designed to elicit huge emotional responses by every member of boards (AKA Megathread attempts)

I am not being smart here, I just want to crowdsource a reliable list of threads to avoid here in AH, as I very rarely see a thread that is NOT a bashing thread in disguise.

But surely (you dont mind if I call you surely?), thinly veiled is already an obfuscation...<<<<<< Is that even a word?


Opps..just re-read that. You said protect!!

I suggest we only use the word obfuscate from now on..in every post.

You can say it, just not in ASCII form. For example:

Thinly veiled "I can spell" post.

This is why we can't have good things. People try to apply far too much logic to AH.

I think there should be no problem with AH having it's own collection of In-Jokes, but admittedly, far too often they get done to death.

For this reason I vote no. We as posters should be evolving them ourselves. Outright banning every "fad" that occurs on AH, is not going to stop them being a nuisance that requires them to be banned due to over use.

But if they get done to death, they'll just fizzle out after a while.

I think its a bit daft to ban certain phrases, some of them could only ever be used in AH's in context. I mean where in real life could you say "thinly veiled" out loud?

That's the thing, they don't. "Blast with Piss" and "Your Ma" as 2 examples had to be specifically banned due to a tedious amount of over use. It's AH humour, it fitted a mood here for a while, but AH posters should have dropped it and picked up another one, then dropped that. Ideally, they shouldn't require mod intervention to the level that they do.

Tombi!

The thing is, it can be hilariously funny at times.
But it's not that funny because it's repeated too often. So it being funny in 1 out of 15 times, it's still fecking stupid.

I voted yes

It's fcuking retarded at this stage.
Using it for the sake of using it is not funny.

It's about as funny as a car-crash at this stage. Banish it to the shores of meme hell

Its either a sly way sometimes by a regular few to have a dig at posters they not maybe like anyway and/or its now at this stage just plain unfunny.

Mob fu$cking rule, here we come.

Typical AH post = "rabble rabble Bankers troika gave-away-sovereignty to germany". Well we're doing a good job of emulating the genesis of 1930's Germany here on our own.

Any post here, if you wanted a "normal" debate could find a serious thread. If you want a serious thread then fu$k right off and post it there. If you want to take the pi$$ or want a sprinkling of off the wall irreverent responses then post it here. Simple as that.



Not so thinly veiled "Fu$k nazi moderation" post.

A lot of the time it is - after all, it IS After Hours.
On the very odd occasion some times I suspect, its something more.

I'm all for taking the pîss and having a laugh.
That sentence has become a beacon for some of the bewildered unfunny idiots who are desperate for thanks.
They ruined it, not us.
