Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
This is highly inappropriate to post DM messages accusing specific users, for public to see. Please forward these kind of messages via modmail. This particular user is a known troll and you should block him.
Trying to figure out how to forward to mod
if you are on a browser, look to the side bar, and find the list of mods (MODERATORS) below RULES, RESOURCES, and DISCLAIMER.
There you'll find a link, namely this:
Message the Moderators
Whenever you wish to contact the mod team, click on that link and your message function will open with the message pre-addressed to the mod team. This way, any (and all?) mod on duty will see your message and either address it or forward it / discuss it with other mods.
Alternatively, just find members who have the [moderator] tag and click on their handle to go to their profile, then click on
send a message under the ABOUT (NAME) section
to send a message to an individual mod.
I'm on a phone. Will deport work? I've only had one rude message and blocked them. I think I tried to report and couldn't figure it out. Thankfully I've only had to report one person in almost three years.
