    Default What you don't want to see

    I'll start with an example. In the fantasy novels by Terry Pratchett, there's a post office in the city of Ankh Morpork with this sign on the door:

    NEITHER RAIN NOR SNOW NOR GLOM OF NIT CAN STAY THESE MEFSENGERS ABOT THEIR DUTY

    DON'T ARSK US ABOUT:
    rocks
    troll's with sticks
    All sorts of dragons
    Mrs Cake
    Huje green things with teeth
    Any kinds of black dogs with orange eyebrows
    Rains of Spaniel's
    fog
    Mrs Cake
    (There are no typos above; it's spelt that way in the book. Ankh Morpork grammar leaves a lot to be desired.)

    Anyway, i was thinking that i would be a good idea to actually lay down the rules on what we don't want to hear about on these boards. People seem to have missed the rules which says the last word belongs to the moderators & Admins; i.e. what we say goes. Perhaps a list of what we don't want to hear will help. I'll go first and stick some things on; make some suggestions, and i'll ensure that something like this gets added to the new rules (hopefully, somewhere at the top, so people can see it).

    So without further ado;

    DON'T ASK/TELL US ABOUT:
    Medical Problems
    Illegal Software
    Porno
    Coffee
    Free Stuff

    Feel free to add to the list. You can be a bit silly if you like, but try not to take it too far.

    What? Dude, girls are a good thing. I think you need to go down to the bar, hang out with the guys, that sort of thing.

    You know, I can't think of how to properly word this. I keep editing this one post and can't come up with anything good.

    Alfalfa And I'll be second president, and you can be third president.

    Welcome to Discworld.

    An addition....

    Anything purposefully inflammatory, abusive or mean for the sake of it.

    Can't remember who posted it, but someone posted about the 'down with DRM' pic someone had on their sig....

    Only happens with this crappy pic.
    IMHO the 'crappy' bit weren't really necessary, and it stuck in my head.

    Petty I know, but hey, I'm petty. Keep it pleasant people, I for one don't like flaming. Not required. As far as I'm concerned, if you have nothing nice to say, don't bother posting.

    My tuppence worth.

    :edit: And this should sooooo be in the official list...

    Huje green things with teeth
