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
I would like to know why there is a rule to not post direct links to Instagram?
We allow links to be posted to every other platform. Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, and one of the worst places Reddit.
I would just like to know why. That’s all. Thanks! 😁

Agreed! I didn't know there was a rule against posting Instagram links. I've posted insta links occasionally and it because it's the only social media I visit. Honestly I've learned a lot from inta accounts posting on the hot topics, Covid, vax, 911, trafficking, satanic worship, WHO, and everything other thing that's been discussed over the past three years. Sure there's false information on instagram as well as other social media sites. I don't take anything at face value and do my own research. Either allow instagram or ban all social media. Just my opinion.
Yeah, well nothing makes sense in this world anymore. Rules for rules.Lol!
True Dat! Told my husband recently I'd like to go back to the 70s or 80s with my life as it is and my family. Maybe because I was a kid and teenager I thought the world made sense. It's likely adults during that time had the same thoughts, nothing makes sense.
