Was my post actually that bad yesterday? I dont really recall what I wrote yesterday. I really was in a bad mood, so god knows what I posted.

Sorry if it went against the AUP! MY bad!

And to everyone else, I have personally been feeling some concern for what has happened to this forum. It is so full of garbage, its silly. I mean do we really need 50 new threads of words that rhyme with the first thread that started it? Its kind of dumb. We are all guilty of it. Some more than others.

Its really getting to the point that I dont feel like coming here any more.

I don't know. Maybe its just that I feel very tired lately and depressed and all that. I need a vacation.

Isn't Planet Source Code part of Jupiter Media? Maybe thats why it was deleted.

I doubt it was that silly argument we had - I have seen alot worse here. But if it was then .. sorry ..

I agree about the rhyming words.

This all stems from the powers that be. In particular their refusal to give us a decent contest to have a go at.

I came up with a really good contest idea this morning too.

It just seems sillyness is too rampant lately.

As far as PSC being Jupiter Media. I dont know. Its not like I said PSC sucks. I just said Im tired of getting those emails from people wanting me to teach tme how to code.

I think it was my language in the post that was the problem.

We all have the right to rant afrog:

It allows us to vent frustration and be kind and gentle to one another

I know, but when 99% of the posts are retarded, and the other 1% degenrate into sillyness, it goes way beyond venting.

I guess its just me. Its gotten kind of stale around here it seems.

More importantly, if the conversations are going to continue to center around topics such as "poo", then I'm tempted to simply close down chit chat.

I've just read the annoncment. I'm not going to try and deny my part in this, but my apologies for any offence which I have caused. I suppose things have got a little out of hand

Certainly I have nothing against being silly, I just think some of it is a bit out of hand.

And poo is fine in moderation I guess (see some sillyness there).

But I guess my only 2 real beefs is the make 50 posts that rhyme with another, and that even if someone does post a serious thread, it degenrates in 1 reply.

At least the 2 word story seems slightly constructive. Silly? Well yeah, but it has a point. Its a game in a way.

I hope I didnt start anything bad. I just was trying to make a point.

Im not saying we shouldnt have fun, be silly, and make jokes, but some of this stuff is just getting stupid. Lately I feel like I have gone back to elementary school where life is an endless fart and ***** joke. Yes, I know I am just as responsible. I just came to the conclusion that this just isnt fun.

we don't need threads that rhyme with or is the same as another thread. those belong IN the thread, not as a new one.

For example, the off-color and off topic comments posted in the fixed sized array thread were extremely disrespectful on a number of levels.

No, this is generally good. If there was just a way to filter it.....oh well.

I generally agree with Wossy, I'll try to abide by the AUP rules, but what would be the point of living without hearing more stories of Wossy's love life

I agree that things have been going south for a while. Not sure what part I've played in it, but certainly haven't played a part against it.

A good reminder to behave without actually kicking anyone. Let's all be civil and engage in some fun chit chat without the b.s.

I agree with both accounts being banned if one account is offensive. But why only restrict to one account altogether. Most of the time there is no need for more than one account but having Festive accounts like Santa etc should be ok.

If you have been banned and continue to cause a problem with another account then you should be continuosly banned without offending again. E.g Bron_Gron (Whatever he was) should not be given another chance with another account even if he hasnt offended yet

Well, I thought it was funny and I'm 40-years-old

Brad, you can unregister me if you want. I am willing to sacrifice my login for the greater good.

Want a shrimp?

I have only just realised but it is really scary to think I dont recall what I have written in the past few months

Am I in trouble I really dont know. I know I am silly and nuts but I wouldnt normally describe any of my stuff as rude. Apparently I swear alot at the moment (at home and around) but my mind is often elsewhere with dieting and other worries

<serious>

I don't want to unregister or ban anyone. I simply want to make this forum a little less hostile and a little more accepting of others.

I'm only asking that you guys give some respect to the thread topics in chit chat -- such as the pulsar thread that was started and the ebay thread.

I'm also asking that you consider that there are younger eyes in these forums and that you simply consider that when you pick topics to talk about.

My asking that you not use profanity and watch the AUP should be understandable.

I'm not asking for two word stories and other 'fun' things to be stopped. I'm only asking that some respect be given to others that post here. I'm asking that you try to stop driving everyone else out of chit chat.

I really don't feel this forum to be any kind of hostile, simply because the bunch of regulars that we post here know that the replies never intend to be rude, just funny, wacky and slimy.

Have you received any kind of complain about this forum Brad?

I think hostile is the wrong word. I mean we flame each other ALOT, but its all in good fun. Problem is, to visitors, this looks bad. And I think that is the issue.

Plus when 90% of the posts on a page here in chit chat is just junk and spammy, often the rhyming threads as I mentioned (ie Bender, Mender, Lender. etc) that also looks bad.

Us regulars know what to expect. But I think we make new people who have just come to the forum feel left out an frustrated when trying to make a serious post.

That I was guilty of a few days back when I was helping and misleading someone (at thesame time) who was asking a serious question. I had to PM him to put it right and reassure him that his question wasn't stupid and we weren't making fun of him becuase he was a newbie, that it was actually quite normal for Chit Chat.

From now on

1) we may be silly in one anothers threads but take all new peoples threads seriously unless indicated otherwise by the creator.

2) No more mender ,bender whatever threads. If you want to do that keep it to the same thread

3) Not to be rude! Any terms of annoyance (polite way of saying nasty words ) will be replaced with (Ok?)

4) Referance to sandpaper etc will remain in threads created by forum members who know what it is about

5) If possible keep chat to one thread and dont span it out that really gets on my nerves

6) If anyone breaks these rules it is the responsibility of other members to point it out for 'Correction' to the 'at fault' user.

7) All replacement for swearwords will be either or **** no in-betweenies (That ok Brad?)

8) Chit chat will not overflow to other random threads within these forums. I dont think this really happened anyway but should make it a point


Any more? Chit chat rules
