Moos Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 A thought prompted by new posters asking questions about 'how we do things' on here. Not intended as guidelines and certainly not rules, which are specified by Admin, but just thoughts about how things generally seem to go. Does the forum have a collective set of behaviours or is it heterogenous? - Anything specifically about East Dulwich, whether serious or lighthearted, in the ED section- Anything not about East Dulwich, whether serious or lighthearted, in the Lounge- General discussions about local services / shops in the ED section BUT specific recommendations in Wanted, Offered and Recommendations (bit of a tricky distinction, this!)- Generally being expected to back up your opinions with logic and/or facts- Reasonable politeness expected... usually- A general but not exclusive tendency to liberalism, politically speaking- The Keef Convention: saying "What X said" in agreement to a previous post- Writing 'Edited due to... ' when editing a post, to explain why you went back to revise your post- Being suspicious of new posters raving about local services (not very nice, in my view, but understandable in the light of past fakes)- A love of music (Song Game, Lyrics Game, What is ED Listening To..)- A love of elbow-lifting!What else?Edited due to sounding much too much like rules the first time round. Ma'am. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5476-conventions-of-the-edf/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peckhamgatecrasher Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 How disappointing, Moos - I thought you were setting up a meeting for us all in Hawaii or Lucerne or summink.And how very dare you suggest I might possibly be liberal (except in my generosity of course!)

citizenED Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 The ability to spot sarcasm and irony is essential: elsewise you'll be hot under the collar thrice over.Don't post anything positive about alternative therapies: your aura will not thank you.

Administrator Administrator Posted March 4, 2009 Administrator Share Posted March 4, 2009 I am tempted but due to the current tendency for a lot of discussions in the Lounge to be turned into "we're 'aving a larf so leave us alone" threads I probably will not. I am going to wait a short for it to turn from a playroom back into a Lounge.

???? Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 ok...but in terms of title, "Forum Decorum" is almost identical to this ....but content wise it's the playground, so I see where you're coming from.....

Moos Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 It is a sport popular among Forumites, good for toning the arm. By co-incidence, it's also an excellent means of getting your drink from the glass on the table into your mouth. It is not technically dancing, but has been known to lead to dancing, both vertical and horizontal.
