randoms posts: let's have some ground rules

[Deleted]

yes, i know, whateva whateva we do what we want!



can we agree that A) one randoms post per day (as opposed to AM/PM) is okay?  and B) that before anyone (sloan, today i'm looking at you, but i sideye everyone equally, myself included, on this) posts a randoms thread they first check to ensure that no other randoms threads have already been created?

HERE HERE!

Or is it hear hear, like "I heeeard that" of ye olden days?

[CheshireGrin]

Ninja, I'm pretty sure it's "Hear, hear!"

Either way, I agree.

Random doesn't have to = clusterfuck of multiple threads.

it's "hear hear" and it's from the british parliament.  it's the shortened "hear him! hear him!" that people would say when their cohort was making a point they agreed with.

A lot of "random" can happen between an AM Randoms and a PM Randoms. I think it's fair to do 2 per day, but definitely agree on avoiding duplication.

You can't make random bend to your rules.

I CAN TRY.

That's pretty cool! thanks

No more than three random items per person.

No flamefuls or confessions in a random.

No announcements of pregnancy/birth/etc. hidden in randoms.

Your total original post in a random cannot exceed 250 words.

If you create a randoms when one already exists for the day, you shall be fined -5 likes.

Damn it, cville beat me to it. I just googled and was coming back in to post that same explanation.

i'm really only good for random trivia about things that aren't sports and composing professional-sounding emails.

Boo! Hiss!

You cannot be the author of more than one random in a week.

2 gifs per person allowed in randoms.



Complaints about the contents of randoms should be forwarded to CVille Esq.

A review committee will be held weekly to hear the concerns, as presented by CVille.

Bwahaha.  I like picturing Cville sitting at the head of a gigantic conference table with video screens behind her showing the transgressions to be reviewed for the week.

Do we have to pick a time zone for morning and afternoon?  What about evening and late night randoms?

[speckledfrog]

Multiple random post don't bother me. If it's not on the first page it doesn't exist anymore.

We can't base important policy decisions like this on your personal feelings, speckled.

I like AM and PM randoms. Otherwise the damn randoms posts get to be too long and too unwieldy.

Agreed. I like AM/PM randoms.

My bad, I looked and didn't see one but obvi didn't look close enough. I just wanted to brag that I became a full member and threw out a randoms.

That's BOOSHIT!  (was it bab's daughter who said it like that?)

Then what is the point of reading a random if nothing juicy will come out of it?

[luckyval]

Idk cville, we may have a random uprising here. We fear change

[speckledfrog]

I agree with am/pm randoms. Or, you know, the same thing we do now.

[Kore]

If anyone drops a major bomb in a randoms post, someone is required to make a separate post to alert the board.

[nahoku]

ALL YOUR RANDOMS ARE BELONG TO CVILLE.
