    Any chance you could report the thread and give the mods adequate time to deal with that reported post? Reporting posts is the best way to draw our attention to something, not whining about it here.

    I'm pertty new here (to this part of Boards, at least) and I haven't had any issues with people going out of their way to be asses to me (although in saying that, I don't go looking for arguments, either).


    But of course; I can't speak for everyone.

    I think we should not allow twitching anus to post. Itll annoy him and bring us peace and joy

    Good times

    +1

    On a side note, I'd suggest that any thread in which the subject matter dwells on faeces/farting/toilet habits be banned from AH. The same idea is being discussed in the Forums forum as far as I know.

    It was in there for a while but was removed. When thanks was brought back in after hours it didn't come back in cool vids. I meant to poke Cult about it but I kinda forgot. I might drop him a pm.

    Any word on this? Wanted to thank someone in there again today. Would be handy to have.

    Hilarious. Sure, I'll ban others who use those overused phrases because you want it so. I'll also have to ban you for using/supporting overused phrases because others want it so. Deal?

    In answer to the WWMs question: hookers.

    Seriously, I'm still smiling at the idea of asking a question like "how can we improve AH" in the AH forum! It;s just not going to be taken seriously.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    But how do you deal with the people who use the phrase if you don't ban them...?

    AH has become TROLL Grand Central in the last few weeks, and while AH is a bit 'tongue in cheek' trolling here has got to ridiculous levels.

    What good, constructive and informative threads we have left in AH are quickly turned to sh*t, often by the third or fourth post in, and this (I feel) is causing people to look at other forum's to have their topic's discussed.

    True that

    EG
    The thread regarding having a down sydrome kid just got totally hijacked by trolls and it got messy. Banning ,infractions etc were given out.

    But the thing is, call someone a wanker <insert other name calling crap> and you'll get an immediate banning (and rightly so) but trolling is just as disruptive to good discussion and should be treated likewise.

    Give examples... or are you just trolling?

    The best way to deal with a troll is to ignore them.

    How do you define a troll? If I dealt with every reported "troll" in AH, I'd be driven mad.
    People constantly report other posters for trolling or call them a troll in-thread because they disagree with them. Backseat moderating or dishing out personal abuse is much more disruptive than most trolling, and much simpler to moderate.

    A quick suggestion, and one that will likely be ignored: no more links to the Daily Mail in After Hours! "It's like chewing gum for the eyes."

    What? How dare you compare that tripe to chewing gum. Chewing gum is far more usefull than the daily mail.

    In either case, excessive consumption can have a laxative effect.

    But with the Mail, at least you'll have something to wipe with.

    I'm all for recycling and all but I don't like the idea of reusing paper that already has sh*t on it.

    I think all the girls from AH should meet up & have a wet T-Shirt competition with the winner getting a date with Terry at an illustrious restuarant in town. I feel it would consilidate us as an internet community & bound us together.

    I could supply the water, it would be no problem at all :)

    </End of thread>


    I'll print it off and review it ...in the review room.
    We'll probably have another one of these threads further down the road. For everything else, use Help Desk / Feedback (Acquaint yourselves with these fora before posting.)
