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 think at this juncture that it is morally incumbent upon the Aloof, Majestic and Unknown operators of the .WIN platform (Who are they? Where are they? Are they the droids we are looking for?) to create a new karma system wherein disappointment ratings are generated and then assigned.
They could call them ... wait for it .... "Disa-points"
As in, "wow, I've been posting here for 2 months now and I have accumulated 21,034 disappoints."
However, they would obviously (I mean, it's obvious, isn't it?) have to create them with a code structure so that the more disappoints you generate, the less effective they are, so that you can never quite reach the Super Karma Disappoint level of 100,000 disappoints.
At 100,000 disappoints, you essentially are crowned King (or Queen) of Disappointment at your respective .win forum. But because of the coding, your disappoint efforts would accumulate less and less actual disappoints, so that you would always get closer to, but never arrive at, 100,000, even if you disappointed for 100 years.
Ultimately, the whole system would be very disappointing, and probably have to be scratched until the second coming of HeartofStone2, whereupon the system would be renewed, and things would be brought back to original, sane state.
I know, I know. You had such high hopes for this comment when it started out, and now you're just disappointed.
Hey, I do what I can.
