    Should there be an age limit for After Hours??
    Spotted a number of posts / threads lately from the younger generation... Is this the right place for their young impressionable minds?

    Age limit?
    No.
    Perhaps an IQ limit.
    As in, if you're above a certain value, please dont post here.
    I think we should keep that value fairly low too.

    What about an upper age limit?

    Say 30, we don't want them stinking up the place with their talk of cd players and Pokemon!

    Boards has an age limit of 13, which seems reasonable.

    After Hours at times feels like there's a five year old behind the keyboard. I couldn't say whether it's the right or wrong place for a young mind, some discussions are great, some discussions are poor.

    I'd consider the likes of Facebook a lot worse influence on a young mind tbh.

    They have the whole internet at their disposal and you're worried about boards damaging them?

    Admittedly, reading threads about first shifts and how to kiss a girl for the first time reminds me how old I am but other than that I don't have a problem with it. If they step out of place, their cards will be marked like everyone else's.

    AH could possibly reduce their IQ though.:D

    I have a t-shirt that lists items from popular culture and says how long ago they were - The point was, to make older people feel old - The problem is, it still says Home Alone 1 came out 15 years ago...

    How will you enforce it? Do a Facebook and demand "picture of Government I.D."?

    If you followed the advice on Afterhours you'd have a very cold penis from having to get it out all the time, and you would be in jail for arson

    The "What age were you when you got your first shift" from people who were aged 11 in 2010 :eek: should at least be moved to the teenager forum. Not least because the kid is only going to get piss-take answers anyway.
