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:
(There are no typos above; it's spelt that way in the book. Ankh Morpork grammar leaves a lot to be desired.)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
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.
