starrysky said: R.I.P. MAL forum of the past. You will be missed. By me at least. I heard that. How can it be casual if we have rules? Just out of curiosity. I don't remember having limits on chatting in real life, so why make it different on the internet? Just a thought. Asako said: No. That's a worthless reply. Isn't that a matter of opinion? |

Moimy said: So why all the restrictions on Spam? Spam doesn't exist anymore. There's no restrictions on it. Casual Chat is part of a reform to try to remove some of the retardation from MAL. It now adheres to the global rules and there are no specific exceptions or laxities here. People can chat and talk about inane stuff, but we're not tolerating the spam. It's going to be hard to adjust for the old timers but it is going to be enforced. |

A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet. Okay, while that quote kinda makes sense here, it kinda doesn't....what with how Spam and Casual Chat are different now...but whenever I say Spam, I'm referring to Casual Chat still. Silly Asako ^.^ Hmm. That's going to be hard to tell the difference between Spam and inane stuff. Usually inane stuff in Spam... These rules are gonna be hard to follow... |

By new rules do you mean the sticky Asako threw there, or have the General Forum Guidelines been changed as well? My page for the double post, it was a new page. |
|
| Well inane stuff is just where conversations generally lead to rather than a thread that starts with inane stuff and can only be replied with equally stupid crap. |
|
| Quick question. If I bump an old thread will it get locked or deleted? |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |

Yuruku said: Well by the new rules I'm pretty sure I was supposed to be banned too.we can still chat with different rules... I dont see a difference except for the like 3 rules I just broke and got banned for... I gotta work on that shit. |

Trollkastel said: Quick question. If I bump an old thread will it get locked or deleted? 9. If a topic is more than a month old, please consider whether it is wise to post in that thread. If you do decide to bump it with a new post, you better be adding something meaningful - basically anything better than "wow that's so cool!" |

Vagabond said: youre joking, right? that picture was considered worthless? it went right along perfectly with the discussion. so, now even pictures of any kind of completely against the rules? Posting nothing but an image is considered a nonsensical, worthless post and will be deleted, yes. You can use a macro image to highlight a point as long as you write something (significant and on topic) to go with it. |
| Anyway, amidst all the drama. I'm off to bed. Good luck. |

Rules said: 10. Posts that intentionally derail a thread from its original topic are strongly frowned upon. Nonsensical and off-topic posts like these will be deleted. This says it's frowned upon, but does that necessarily mean it's against the rules? And can you boot up a conversation with something that's random and off-topic to the last topic? Like if there's a massive '2 hours ago' gap between posts. |

| fine. casual chat should be alot more casual, with less restrictions than other boards or take the casual part out. as it is now casual chat is something like this ->  |
Vagabond said: the text was IN the picture... thats the whole point. Which is the definition of a macro image. They're not allowed. |

| I think you guys need to get on to overhauling these rules and clearly redefining them again. It'll help. |

You've come a long way, baby. |
| Having only one chat thread defeats the purpose of naming the board 'Casual Chat.' I agree with Lyme in that there should be a forum game board then. |

If all goes well, by the end of the week they'll be shiny and neeeeew. Good. Cos I'm as confused as hell right now. What I still don't get is why Kimmy made this one to merge all Chat threads together instead of leaving GSTS as it is and making that one the merged thread. It wouldn't matter if non-GSTS people didn't like it, because apparently everybody has to get along together here anyway... |
