What new rules would you impose on After Hours?

    (1) Users are not allowed to post in After Hours until they have a post count of 50 or more.

    (2) A "Random thoughts" thread, for people to post their random thoughts. Besides being useful on its own, also in an attempt to stamp out the endless amount of nonsense threads being started.

    You?

    If a thread has been done in the last 6 months you can't start another one on the same topic.

    We need a dedicated Diarrhoea sub-thread in AH. Not enough open discourse about this deadly liquid.

    I was recently kicked out of a faeces forum for saying diarrhoea is better than regular poo because you can do it in the sink. I'll just sign up with a different name. they can't silence the truth.

    This sounds like a Feedback thread.
    I'd impose a "topless Thursday posting" rule.
    Hairy man moobs galore.

    Ban the use of the word cretin. It's cringey.

    Ban the phrase and posters who use "grabs popcorn" it's sad.

    Ban the PC brigade. We all know who they are.

    Ban boring posters who can't take a joke.

    Ban rules

    Confine end of the road to their very own sub forum of After Hours, to prevent the ruination of threads on the original AH

    That threads should be modded so that they roughly adhere to the thread title!

    (The ISIS Vs the IRA thread comes to mind).

    Ban the use of "TBH" and "TBF". Just say what you're saying, we will assume you are being honest and trying to be fair.

    Split it in two. One forum where it's 'PC' for want of a better phrase, and regulated and modded etc beyond belief, where one group of the posters can hang out, and anyone acting the pup will be banned on sight as they knew where they were, another where you just say whatever you think and no one can complain that they find something offensive as they knew what they were in for when they hopped the fence, and they'll be banned on sight. Then everyone's happy.

    That won't be too hard to enforce,I'd like the rules adjusted so I would be allowed to curse.Calling somebody a prock just doesn't get the message across properly in my eyes.I feel I can't express myself properly under the current regime.Some might even call it discriminatory,not me however there's enough of those pc wunkers posting in after hours as it is.

    I'd say remove all rules and regulations. Let the invisible hand take care of After Hours.
