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
Well, my subtle little whimsy in Gen Chat yesterday didn't appear to do the trick, and for some weird reason, the CAT did not pick up on my trademark obscure, abstract satire (who'da thunk it), but seriously, does the CAT mean "General Chat" when he's posting and talking and discussing "Daily Chat"?
It might seem just pedantic, but for Pepe's sake, if the name of the thread is General Chat why not USE that name, instead of creating threads about the "Daily Chat"?
I mean, attention to detail. High effort and all that.

Note: use of capitals is standard for designating an actual proper noun, aka formal NAME, as opposed to regular non-capitals for a common noun, aka just the word that is used to refer to something.
"daily chat" makes sense, but "Daily Chat" is only existent on GAW in those two posts by Catsfive and a solitary post by Polish one year ago. Better yet, 'daily General Chat' would be super accurate.
And that is ALL I'm going to say about that. Next topic?
Well, it ain't Private Chat, but I always wonder where the lower-ranked chats are at.
