hmm...i'd be surprised if 'east dulwich forum' had been copywritten (is that a word?).


still, lest i incur admin wrath, how about a nice and simple

#edulwich or #eastdulwich instead?


so to the twitterverse: if you're tweeting about local issues, observations, events, anything to do with e dulwich at all, please use hashtags above.

You can use #eastdulwichforum as a hashtag on Twitter, and there's not much a megalomanic admin can do about it, fact fans, seeing as it's essentially as transient as a sand-painting / yesterday's chip papers.



whilst there may be an intellectual property issue on something like Facebook (and good luck contesting that legally, anyway), hastagging doesn't actually create a 'destination' as such.

it needs a global brand name for you to think "hey if I had spent 3 years building up a name and a presence on;y for it to have some control assumed by someone who has been registered for 2 days! I'd be a teeny bit cross"???


Why?


If the name means so little to you, pick another one

It's just a hashtag on Twitter. I can't see it's a big deal for Admin. The Facebook example was because someone was going to set up, to all intents and purposes, a replacement Forum - and I can see that Admin would have an issue with that, in case his sponsors and local companies etc thought it was to do with him.


A hastag on Twitter just aggregates posts around a common theme. It may even drive traffic to the Forum, which is presumably good for Admin/Mark.

I'm just saying that you just aren't able to 'control' Twitter like that - to think you can is missing its point entirely.


I'm not suggesting someone set up another EDF full of hateful bile, I'm talking about Twitter hashtags specifically.


Seems overly-precious.


The 'tone' of this place is a melting pot of the useful and handy through to the irrelevant, mininformed and downright stupid - there's hardly a 'brand' to ruin is there, given that it is made up of about 8,000 different opinions.

Hey, don't dis the Drawing Room, Quids.

Right now there's an in depth discussion of the morality and ethics of robot porn going on.


And, as I've already said, I wasn't suggesting there was any legal issue with using the forum's name, just that is might be a courtesy to run it by admin.

Why so angry thebestnameshavegone?

It's not an issue! Hash tags usually emerge from the zeitgeist on their own and people tend to settle on one. I think 5imon was just trying to suggest a common one now to speed things up. #eastdulwich is probably the most straightforward, when tweeting about East Dulwich.

      Taxes

      It’s a flat fee levy payable by guests staying in hotel and hostel rooms, so added to the bill.  This already happens in Manchester and Liverpool ( I think in Liverpool it’s a percentage, so the more expensive rooms pay more). I read somewhere that Edinburgh is doing this next year? Charges of this kind are becoming common around the world. I think it absolutely makes sense for Southwark and other boroughs are bound to follow.

      In  parts of Europe you just get charged tax at the end of your stay somewhere. Usually a couple of quid added to your bill. Most tourists are pretty happy to stump up the cost, as it's an expected expense.  I  think it's a good way to make money and remove the burden from locals.  It's for foreigners, Sue - I'm sure Londoners and brits will still be able to freely cross the borough lines without having to go through checkpoint charlie 🙂

      It doesn't work like that. There won't be differential pricing for tourists and residents at any attractions, no checkpoints nor a requirement to carry one's papers with one at all times. A levy is put on hotels, maybe on Air B&Bs, on a bed per night basis. That cash goes to Southwark. It's pretty easy to administer.
