I hate change, so it's going to take me a while to get used to this! The tweed/mustard background ought to make it a bit familiar ... eh?

Cool rules. Thanks Mike.
I understand about the giraffe thing, but is the official wood maple or rosewood?

Rules (I read 'em)?
What is this, a golf course?

Judging from all of the guys in Hawaiian shirts, I assumed it was a luau.

Good rules.
So basically, we have a Republic here - if we can keep it.

I have been summarizing the rules as “don’t be a jerk”. I think that covers 95% of it.

Let me preface this by saying this is not a response to anyone in this discussion or any other posts.
Just my 2c.
We all wish to convey who and what we are through our words here in cyberspace. Personally, if my requirements to do so are ever at odds with the established decorum of this place I'll make sure to quietly leave instead of making a sloppy exit. An interesting world doesn't require contention. Hollywood and the MSM have conditioned us to believe that the story of the world moves only through conflict. The reductio ad absurdum then becomes "we want to talk about more than funny cat videos". I think there's quite a dynamic world between political blather and fluffy memes, and the arena is large to demonstrate the former. I hope this place maintains a steady course and I hope all members past, present and new can find some interests within.
Thanks Mike for your endeavor moving us into the 20's.

Very well said. Though I do enjoy the occasional cat video.

Perhaps the cat videos can fill any need to watch animals behave uncivilly to each other so we don't have to.

Added a new rule about limiting/positioning of emojis in your screen name. Please check #13. Thanks.

I noted that the rules were edited today, but mostly it was just to clean them up, as things got inserted as we went along it got a little disjointed.
Also added the recent changes to quoting, and the editing/deleting time limit.
Otherwise business as usual.

When it comes to the 'no profanity' rule, is is acceptable to post a link to a vid that contains profanity?
I've done that in the past, but I've always added a warning in the post that the vid contains an f-bomb, etc.
Can I get a ruling from the line judge on this?

Post by Mfitz804 on Apr 22, 2020 18:37:11 GMT -5
^ Yup, Rule #4 covers NSFW links.
As long as you warn people, it’s fine. They can click at their own risk.
EDIT: I guess technically it only says pictures. I’ll clean that up. The above remains true.

No problem.
The no profanity rule is probably harder for me than anyone else. I am a New Yorker, after all.
