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
Yesterday I posted a thread on /pol/ regarding Russell Brand's refusal to be silenced, linking his latest video on censorship and the medias war on free speech. Today I find /pol/ has banned me for that thread because it wasn't about politics or current events.
Edit: The Russell Brand issue is showing how much of an impact he's having on waking up people. UK is going after him big time. I can't find the video I watched yesterday but it was good. Your standard older posh English guy did a video on the subject. (He's most likely at least 60, bald head and has a very large paper clip on the lapel of his suit.) He made it clear he didn't like Brand but it was wrong what they were doing. Brought up points on convicting people with out proof (smear campaign) and if they are going to do that to people they don't agree with the same standards should be held to MPs, celebrities, politicians, etc.
For that reason I rarely post on the main feed and usually watch my comments. About a month ago I got DM from admins saying comments deleted not on topic and other BS. I see so many posts and comments under posts that aren't Q yet they aren't deleted. I'm thinking maybe (could be wrong) some people are reporting comment/post. Maybe technology is so advanced admins are getting notified IDK. Years ago on facebook group admins could filter certain words that prevented the comment from being posted. Who knows and honestly I'm over it. I come here and read the updates a few times a week. I've got a lot going on in my life and I have less time for here. When I come here I scroll gen chat because there's a few people I actually enjoy reading their posts and talking to. When I started here there years ago seemed like anything happened in the world fueled by cabal, deep state etc was the norm for post. Not so much anymore.
You can still filter Group posts by keyword.
