    In the past two days, I have witnessed moderators (boneyarsebogman and Mr. Incognito) of After Hours make a sexist comment about the Ladies' Lounge and justifying unruly violence towards animals. I thought moderators were supposed to keep the peace, not express offensive opinions that could lead to arguments. The sexist comment suggests that women don't belong in After Hours.

    Can you provide links please.

    Those two users are not mods of afterhours, so did you report the posts?

    If you're referring to his comment "It's more fun." - well this is After Hours. It's cheeky, irreverent and not to everyone's taste. I don't see the point of it at all, but others love it. I'd consider that comment as one of the least problematic posts there on any given day..

    As has been pointed out, he's not a moderator on that forum, just a user...and I'd not take action against a user for that comment, in that thread, in that forum. Had it been made in Animals and Pets or similar, it's a different story.

    Much the same theory applies here. He's not a mod of that forum, just another user. The post - well given the general tone of thread, it has to be taken as part of the general "rough and tumble" for the forum. For AH, it's not all that out of the ordinary or out of line.

    Please report any posts you may feel are out of order.
    That way an AH mod can get to it before it gets too far out of hand.

    It's After Hours.
    Where *almost* anything goes.
    If you don't like the comments either report them if they are against the Charter, or, don't read that forum.
