Important announcement about SZ posting etiquette

[Interpol Shrimper]

I thought that was basically a no holds barred thread for flirting etc?

Can I ask, who is actually flirting with who?

Er, how the **** is that off topic?
If somebody has commented on something which has evolved (this is allowed, remember, see earlier comments from one of the owners) from the initial topic and I just want to know one answer and quote that person directly it cannot strictly be said to be off topic?

 

[J]

Was that how you wanted me to put it?

When you PM'd me to say post drivel and i will use it as an example, I hope that people realised that!!!

Now I ****ING AM CONFUSED!


am i getting a PM or not?

 

[Napster]

Hahaha this is hilarious. Keep it up.

But you see, you now need to go over to the Live thread to make this point, by which time you've lost every notion of what you were doing in the first place.

I think all replies to this thread should be deleted, and then this topic should be pinned for a while in the forums. The content should be taken IMO, with a pinch of salt. Thread will get diverted naturally sometimes, that the nature of the beast, but constant thread diverting in an unatural manner should be avoided. But then what do I care, I'm out of here soon.

See now finger itching to correct that to "salt" but wondering if I need to go over to the Live thread to do so as it's :offtopic: .


Yes, that was tongue in cheek, and I think you're right as it goes. Maybe it should just be a sticky at the top of all relevant forums with a closed response.

Can I play devils advocate for a minute?
If we are all guilty of being too familiar and should be encouraged to use the PM function more, is there any chance of people's inbox's being expanded again? I know they were doubled from 50 to 100 but it's amazing how quickly they fill up. OK, there's the argument of delete your older/sent messages a lot more often but I have a selection I'd like to keep.

Threads like this make me remember why I live here. I love you guys!

Although i am not saying that i agree.

:whistling:

You see now i am unsure if i just diverted the thread by saying J........you are so getting greens for that.

What a lovely day it is today ......No Rich the PM boxes cannot get any bigger because most people don't bother emptying there's
so it takes up a lot of space..I think for the record everybody should take a :chill: here....The Owners are only trying to do what is best for the Zone members overall ..It is not personal to anybody in particular...The "Live" chat thread is there for the purpose of just that ...banter and random chatting, hence why it was born.....Lets all try to play nice and please appreciate we value every member of the Zone and only make the changes/rules for the benefit of the Members.
