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 don't. I see a lot of these sites purposely sowing disinfo to pedes in order to muddy the narrative and cause infighting -OR- as a cash grab for folks who need that hopium hit. Information Warfare goes every which way.
The minute a site proves to be either, I'm out. No reason to line their pockets with your eyeballs.
Edit - the way I worded that sounded like "I don't but YOU do, dummy" ;) Definitely didn't mean it it sound like that.
Yeah i've been around a long time anon, and been through a lot of similar sites, so most of this stuff i don't bat an eye at. I just try to put a warning up, but other mods might remove it themselves or based on a user deport.
But with the tucker/putin thing.. i suspect it's trying to steal the wind out of its sails by getting out ahead of it. I could be wrong - we won't know the interview details until the real interview drops.
Gotcha. FWIW, I'm glad your pointing out potential bullshit, especially since it went through the ringer of being posted, stickied, and de-sticked. . I was +1'ing you and adding my own emphasis that 'watch yourself on this site' might not be enough. If it turns out to be bullshit, cut out the cancer/noise. Good on ya for speaking up!
