You may have noticed a tickbox to accept our updated rules.

Please feel free to make comments here on the changes (or existing rules). A lot of time and thought went into these rules whose enytire aim is to make the Cafe a more pleasant place for all.

AI thank you.
 
I read the rules first, before clicking agree (my grandfather told me this was a good idea many years ago, assuming that “clicking” and “signing” mean the same thing…). But I was disappointed to see that the “after reading, please comment here” thing disappeared after I agreed. So I’m commenting here.

I like the rules just fine. I strongly dislike the fact that they are necessary. I personally would be just fine with people hurling insults at each other and swearing like sailors online, but I understand why this behavior is frowned upon. (Seems to me that the need for explicit rules correlates inversely with the amount of instruction on correct behavior received from one’s parents…)

The legal climate is even more disturbing to me. But that’s another story and perhaps not suitable for this forum.

I think the whole thing could be handled by a single simple rule - a golden one, actually. Though I prefer the street version - “Don’t be a …” - well, you know what I mean.
 

Similar threads... or are they? Maybe not but they could be worth reading anyway 😀
