Definition of Chit Chat

[Squeek]

Chit Chat is not where things that would be written in a Chat Room are posted. Chit Chat is where you would put things like news articles, anecdotes, or pop culture discussions.

See that last word? Discussions? Forums are for discussions. Not for posting random things you found funny or interesting. They're for discussion. If you found a funny joke, go to FFR CHAT and write it there. It's not for the forums.

Yes, we just had an election. Some of you are happy that your candidate won. Don't post about it. Some of you are unhappy that your candidate lost. Don't post about it. We've already established that we cannot have reasoned debates about this kind of thing. So now it goes into the list of banned topics for the forums. If you want to talk about it, take it to another forum or a private chat room.

If you're going to post a thread, ask yourself three questions.

1) Will this thread have any discussion at all? If "no", then don't post it.

2) Will the discussion lead to heavy flaming? If "yes", then don't post it.

3) Does the forum benefit from this discussion? If "no", then don't post it.

4) Is my forum name free of numbers, special characters, and random letters (xXnameXx)?

So is this basically Operation Iron Law again only not explicitly stated

Re: Let me make something clear.

I have no intention of reinstating Iron Law. I am not the judge of a "good" or a "bad" thread.

I'm merely suggesting that everyone stops posting meaningless drivel.

Re: Let me make something clear.

Mister Squeek, putting down the law!

Chit-Chat is in serious need for members to abide by this. Hopefully all Chit-Chat regulars read and apply this message.

no. *points down*

But yes, to much drivel and provoking copy pasta.

****. Pretty much.

Re: Let me make something clear.

While you're making rules, would you mind making one reinstating that those who mock noobs will be bitchslapped. It's getting ridiculous how hardcore people are being to poor noobs, not giving them a second chance. Like, "YOU FUCIN DOUBLE POSTED YOU FUCIN NOOB IT'S PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO ARE RUINING OUR GOOD PLACE OF FFR"

Re: Let me make something clear.

That rule only protects new posters in the Newbie Forum.

[Relambrien]

Re: Let me make something clear.

Yeah, for new posters, leaving the Newbie Forum is the equivalent of getting out of high school drinking and going to bars. Everything goes fine until some drunk talks to you in a way only you would find offensive, so you beat the **** out of him and you end up in jail getting ravaged by a big bald guy named Butch.

If the answer to any of these questions is "no", then don't post it.

You forgot to add: NO NARUTO IN THE FORUMS.

Re: Let me make something clear.

Lol, FFR Forums iz srs biznuss and yes, this is a postwhore. But to make this less of a useless post, might I say that in conjunction to making these new rules that leeway be applied to them as well? I mean yeah, the candidate discussions, random threads of meaningless nothingness, etc are totally pointless but it is quite apparent that the mods, or most of them, are overextending their responsibilities as mods. What's funny is some mods and admin agree with this. Squeek, even though you're a mod and should be respected, I respect you but you are an occasional "extender" of your responsibilities if you will. I've seen a few threads in the past that you've locked that could have had potential to be constructive.

I'm just speaking my mind here but then again, with the rules as they are, I'm gonna get banned for free speech against those particular staff who have taken their powers too far.

Re: Let me make something clear.

Show me the threads. I'll show you why I locked them.

They will prove to be an example for others.
