Dublin based threads in After Hours

If one starts a film thread in AH, its moved to Films. If someone starts a computer game thread, a car insurance thread, a personal issue, a humanity, a gig thread etc etc etc its moved to its own dedicated forum. So why then is there a different rule for Dublin threads? Every day there is at least two new Dublin based…

So why then is there a different rule for Dublin threads?

Every day there is at least two new Dublin based thread ie "Best ............. in Dublin", "worst................. in Dublin"? Why is there a double standard here? There is a Dublin dedicated forum if Im not mistaken, so why cant that be used, and let AH be used for general mutterings.

I am aware that a similar thread by me was locked for fear of it turning into a flame war in AH. Its not my intention to start such here, but would be very interested to here views on this.

How about change the forum title to After Hour's in Dublin

That way people won't get so upset over it.
