[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jeff - thanks so much for the clear explanation!

are there any "rules of the road" of which one should be aware before posting on here? UB was basically a free-for-all where touchy subjects like race and sexuality could be discussed candidly. is this a similar nabe?[/quote]

In the Entertainment forum, Jeff is pretty strict about one thread per subject.  So if you're following the Kristen Cavalleri/Jay Cutler split for example, any relevant posts should be confined to a single thread.   We have some posters from London/UK who are obsessed with the royal family who have in the past tried to post new threads about every inane move, but lately they've been confined pretty well.

There's a tendency here for the first post on any thread to be especially nasty.  It's like a phenomena.  I chalk it up to a sort of "dance, jester, dance" syndrome.  Some people camp out here all day, and if a new post doesn't resonate with them, they throw out a nasty first response.  Which can end up derailing the thread.  Best practice is to report these (using the report button on the post), and Jeff is very good about deleting them.

On politics, stick to the subject and avoid name-calling, and you'll find all viewpoints are welcome.

Posts about politician's children are not allowed and will be deleted.

I'm sure there are others, but this is what comes to mind now.

I get how lost you feel.   A board I used to frequent on reddit was banned in the recent purge, and it broke my heart.  I hope you guys can regroup, and I think you'll find this a pretty cool place.  Good luck to you all. [/quote]
