clarification of Pub Forum Rule #3

#4273467 - 06/08/05 08:20 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

So how exactly can a post be "off topic" in the Pub? I mean, with Cultivation or Trip Tips, it's pretty clear, but... ya know what I'm saying?

Sometimes I like to post "off topic" stuff here because I don't want to deal with the people in OTD. I mean, would my popcorn thread be "off topic"?

Plus I think the no racism rule should basically go under rule #1 (no flamming, or no flamming other races). I agree that threads that are just bashing and insulting other races should be locked or deleted, but what if I want to post about how I hate living near a black ghetto or think interracial relationships are immoral (for example). Would that violate the anti-racism rule?

I'm not trying to nitpick or be an asshole, I just think that these rules are a little ambiguous...

The Pub:

"A place for laid-back discussion on any topic..."

I don't see anything wrong with a popcorn thread. Just don't flame people here and don't post pics of people pooping into peoples' mouths.

If the Pub is for any topic, what's the point of even saying on-topic in the rules? There is no topic.

So long as you are praised think only that you are not yet on your own path but on that of another.

If its not Grateful Dead, its off topic. :gd_icon:

Im sure the rule is ambiguous so the mods have discretion.

BTW do you really think interracial relationships are immoral?

Maybe this isnt a website dedicated to conversations of race or racisim. This is a web site dedicated to teaching and spreading knowledge and dispelling misinformation of psychledelics.

Earlier today, I was trying to discuss the pancake rabbit, but that thread got locked. Is there a "quality of content standard" or something? Every post was on topic (the pancake rabbit), but the thread got closed.

Ah, interesting. This is almost never enforced though, if any thread goes on long enough this rule will be violated.

It's all a mater of discretion on the part of the mods. Remember what the pub is all about ....Respect for your fellow Shroomery members!

Mod's discretion on the thread's quality. I trust the mods here to judge that according to the Pub's description on the forums page

edit: in other words, what Ripple said, posted this before I saw his post

i don't really think of interracial relationships as "immoral". I do have an opinion on such things, but that's a whole 'nother topic for a whole 'nother thread.

I didn't see the pancake rabbit thread, but I always hear people complaining about their threads being locked/deleted, and I always am curious as to why they actually get deleted.

Well as long as my popcorn thread is okay then I don't care!

I've never seen the sunday morning thread. Probably because I'd rather sleep in on sunday morning, or ANY morning for that matter! LOL!

Sounds fun though. Maybe I'll wake my ass up one of these sunday mornings and take a look.

There are a lot of smart people in there, we just like to blow off steam differently than the 'laid back' ppl here

but Morons? isn't that a bit harsh coming from the love capital of the shroomery?

I don't mean to call everyone in OTD morons, but anyone who answers a post with "STFU NOOB!" is nobody that I would like to talk to. I'd rather post here where there is a bit more maturity.
