Is After Hours meant to be family friendly?

    I genuinely find the rules here confusing and hard to follow.
    I can’t argue with infractions or the moderators here but I find it really confusing that a thread on anal sex is allowed.

    I am not being sarcastic here I am obviously missing something here but whenever I use a rude word I always black it out fully or in part.

    Anal sex and things like it are ok here?

    Is Anal Sex a rude word, I’d thought the Irish has grown up from those notions ?

    It is not Sunday dinner chat anyway at least not in my home.

    I don't care if it's family friendly or not but I'm sick of looking at the thread title every time I come into after hours. Can it be moved to a more appropriate forum?

    Plenty of scope between rude and Sunday dinner chat.

    AH is a bit of a mosh mash of immaturity, idiocy and fun. I don’t take it seriously and wouldn’t say it’s anything close to “family friendly”. And that’s ok, not every space needs the PC brigade working overtime.

    It is very boring without Johhnyflash and Pintman paddy losty.

    It's A.H, don't like it, you know there are hundreds of other fora where I'm sure they will blot out all the curse words for you...

    I do.

    But I find if you keep the door locked and the tv turned up high you can hardly hear their screams.

    They’re gas. Ah soon as one of them posts anything the other immediately shows up to agree

    I have a good sense of humor and I do find that thread funny I am just a little bit confused as to question if this kind of thing is allowed here or not?

    30 jasus pages of the thread would suggest it is allowed, yes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,618 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    Why are words banned anyway? What purpose does that serve?

    I get that so a thread about how big is your meat and two veg would be ok?

    19cms in new money, thanks for asking. Never measured the veg TBH.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    How would be the next question. Maybe channel the brilliance of Archimedes and suspend same in a warm full glass of water and measure the water that overflowed.

    That is called displacement so just like a ship we could be boasting about the displacement and the thrust.

    I mean it's clearly not in the swear filter so I'm inclined to say it's grand :P

    But seriously, you're very concerned about moderation in AH on Christmas Eve OP.

    Starting to get concerned for you tbh!

    This reminds me of the poster that got annoyed at Sky for having a Gay Movie catagory during pride month

    I guess there’s only one way to find out :D


    To be honest, I’m pretty sure it’s been done many, many times before (threads on how big is your meat and two veg, and threads on anal sex, though I’ve never seen them run into each other, that could be painful!), hell I wasn’t even aware my own username was a euphemism for meat and two veg until someone pointed out I had a phallic sounding username that was indicative of misogyny on my part. I laughed hard at that one :pac:

    AH is fairly family friendly in fairness, more like the Addams family than the Waltons, but that’s what makes it great family entertainment for everyone- from the most immature members of the family, to the more mature members of the family (I’ll freely admit to being more of the former than the latter :D).

    I’ve full to the fûcking lid with porter at the moment, dude. Have a dose of the horn on me this evening as well so feeling very festive. There’s a table of birds across the bar from us. Few of them are after getting a five pint facelift - if you catch my drift....

    Anything goes so long as you are in agreement with a moderators opinion and agenda.

    What an odd thread. There are a few posts alright where I think "too much information" but really I just move on and I dunno, live my life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,458 ✭✭✭✭gandalf


    Ffs won't someone think of the children....(watches all the clergy getting interested in boards!).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,034 ✭✭✭mad muffin


    I doubt there’s any children perusing after hours when porn hub is freely available ;)

    Wow - thanks for this new thread.
    Agreed : that thread is terrible (and I just voted on that) and I fear under 12 can stumble upon it and use it as source of information.
    Think the OP is too young/mad to figure out how poor what she did is.

    How MODs can ensure kids don't find ****e on AH ? do we need a sub-forum for over 18 ???

    family friendly?

    you want the family to sit around watching as you post on boards? :confused:

    You can't be serious?? Also its not the sites responsibility to monitor what your children read.

    My suggestion was to create a sub-forum for over 18, and move it there.


    I thought the site has responsibility for the content posted.

    It just seems a bit pearl clutching to suggest certain threads need to be censored.

    I'm a "new" user - I am sure I was not even born when that forum got created.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,149 ✭✭✭Ariadne


    I'd take an anal thread (oh behave) over a dole bashing, racist or gender wars thread in AH any day.
