What happened to the beer and poker thread. eh? EH?
Baldus New:
Hopefully all these events WERE one off"s but can someone please confirm what the actual procedures are for dealing with these situations, should they occur again, as I for one would not know what can and should be done to ensure that these types of problems are dealt with swiftly, correctly and fairly for all concerned.
Granted we should ALL be responsible for our actions, no matter how much we have chosen to drink but if all members are aware of what can be done and the right way to go about it, hopefully matters will not get out of hand again.
We all need to take responsibilty in ensuring that OUR APAT events are run in a fun and friendly environment and manner and this is not just down to Des and his helpers to monitor and sort out, as they do a great job but cannot be everywhere at once.
Maybe if we all know what can and should be done, the odd 10 minutes break for fresh air, will help avoid any repeats in the future.

Everyone
I"ve spoken to Des and we"ll put the "official" APAT response on the beer and poker thread back up in the near future. Noe may want her post put up again also, we"ll check.
With regard to different APAT responses to Scouse and Noe, it was our opinion that the actions of both individuals were completely different, and were treated distinctly.
For the record Noe was concerned that her work colleagues would be looking for pictures etc today and would stumble across the thread(s), which is why we worked with her on taking the original thread down. Any measures we chose to take with regard to Noe"s aprticipation in APATs certainly didn"t need to include making her work colleagues aware.
I have also corresponded to Matt Dale today on various matters not all APAT related, one of which was the thread on Bristol and SW Meet up in which I mentioned my personal unhappiness (I did not speak to Des beforehand) at some of the references on that thread, though I must admit I was unaware at the time of the point that has subsequently been made that
"Nazi comments/pics were directed at the forum mods for removing the original beer/poker thread before we found out it was at Noe"s request. This is also an "in-joke" amongst the group as we have a self-proclaimed "nazi-mod" on our sister forum."

Can i just add that the Nazi comments are like what Tankman has said. Its a bit of an in joke with the forum and I can see how it may look from outsiders.
Apologises for any upset caused on that and Matt has deleted those pictures.
Like i have said nothing bad is meant from it its just we had free speech on our sister forum and then the rules were tightened to appeal to new members.
