serious question regarding posting in the off topic forum

[TURBO]

With all the rules in place as to how we are allowed to post (ie. one line posts, one word posts, etc, etc.) do the same rules apply here? This forum seems a bit less confined to the pickyness the others have, is this true?

 

I like the fact that this forum is more informal.

 

Am I off base here or do the same rules apply here?

Yes, they do. I personally don't scrutinize Off-Topic because I only read about one out of every 10 or so threads here, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't post with the same decorum that is expected of you elsewhere.

Edit: This should be in the Issues forum.

Yeah, the decorum is the same. The fact that most subjects in the Off Topic forum are considered 'on topic' may lead to the perception of more freedom. If that makes people feel good, that's cool. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

Of course, religion and politics are verboten. And while they're not specifically mentioned in the rules, we've been hiding 'babes' threads. We have a reasonable amount of evidence that they cause bots to negatively list us. We don't want to be on anyone's banned sites list if we can help it.

This is a post to see if have been resurrected from my defunct identity (windiv07) due to a technical glitch. I suppose I am going to have to accept, the loss of my cumulative post count in exchange for the loss of a handle reflecting unachieved aspirations. Hopefully, 2008 puts me on the winning side of that trade.
