~the Little Coffee-shop~ Options

[minque]

Now this is the revival of "The coffee-shop".....and I will point out that it is very important that you follow the rules below! If not, this kind of threads will never occur again!


~Alexander:

We had intended the coffee shop to be a nice place where people could talk about their daily activities and such, kinda like the Lurkers Lair on the Official Forums.

It didn't quite turn out that way though, people have been taking advantage of their freedoms in here, there has been a lot of spamming and even some flaming. We will not tolerate that any longer.

So unfortunately we've had to decide to increase the rules for this thread. Of course the normal forum rules still apply, but we'll elaborate here.:

1. No spamming.

We consider double posting and posting posts with only a few words to be spam. If you do that your post will be deleter or moved, do it too often and you might receive a warning for it.

We also consider chit-chat spam. This forum has a special chat channel for chatting, you're welcome to go there, and chat with other members or with the staff as we're always there, doing it in here is not allowed.

The address to that chatroom is:
W4O chatroom

And for assistence to use a chat like this, I recommend contacting one of the Administrators.


2. No discussion of accounts or warnings.

There shall be no more discussion about members, about accounts, about how many warnings you've gotten or anything like that.

3. No trolling.

No posting of random nonsense, no posting of irrelevant things, no posting the same thing over and over just to get it noticed, no swearing or flaming.

4. No religion or politics.

No discussion about religion or politics is to be had in these threads. If you want to discuss religion or politics, please do make another thread, or if another such thread already exists, please post in it.

If you have a question about the rules of the forums, feel free to ask it to either a Global Moderator or an Administrator.

If you're unsure if something is fit to post here, it might be. Again best to ask a Global Moderator or Administrator.

If you're wondering how we think a Lair or the Coffee Shop should look like, what we do allow, then I recommend taking a look at the Lurkers Lair at the Official Forums.

On a side note, if you're the one making the new shop, then please include these rules in the first post.

On behalf of the Wating4Oblivion Administrators and Global Moderators,

Now WELCOME inside! Homemade cookies and coffee/tea/hot chocolate is all set on the tables!

I was joking, I didn't bother with the 360, didn't seem worth it though I know a guy who bought two just so he could sell one.

PC all the way.

Oh, and in other news, I got in an argument over abortion with a friend (not on purpose, I was talking about a satirist during the Irish Potato famine and Jonathin Swift and he used that as a segway to present his opinion on abortion) and I provoked him to calling me an insensitive hamster. It was great, especially insce I don't even have that strong of an opinion on abortion. I can go one way an support murder, or the other way and support invasion of privacy. I can't logically win.

And the best part is the entire argument started from another argument of Steven Colbert. He said the Colbert Report was Daily Show Jr. I said they aren't alike at all, Jon Stewet stays real, and his humor comes from taking perspective on stories as an average person. He keeps it real. Steven Colbert is 100% satire, and I love satire, so I love Steven Colbert's show. That went into Jonathan Swift because during the Irish Potato Famine the Catholic Church was still running a campaign against birth control despite the fact that all they were doing was creating a giant infant population in a starving country. Swift's suggestion was they eat all the babies.

Hehe, doesn't it get annoying when people launch arguements out of no where. Sometimes people I talk to take a conversation like, say, books, turn that into a conversation about the Giver, start talking about euphanasia (sp?) even though I try to go back to the book we started on and then guilt trip me on my views on abortion.

Anyways, hazaa for the Daily Show and the Colbert Report! Sad that a show that used to be followed with puppets that make phone calls is probably the only reliable tv news source. Don't forget though, watch out for bears. I don't trust them at all .

Heh, I remember downloading that conversation. It's great though, tons of pundits have been saying how horrible it is that the younger generation uses the Daily Show as their source of news. What they fail to realize, though, is that if it weren't for the daily show a lot of these people wouldn't be watching news at all.

I kind of see it as a filter though, like "Keepin' it real, DC style"
