Something Else

Posts in the Something Else (spam) forum:

• may not be edited once posted;
• may not include smileys or thread icons;
• may not include attachments.

And why is good not to allow edit posts?

Yes..? What if you want to fix a spelling mistake or similar?

And this is the first time where I havent been able to edit my post in that forum... New rule?

Malicious intent and coverup.

Why are you not allowed to use smilleys in Something Else?

 

[Mini-Me]

Post at your own risk at the 'something else' forum. Anything you say can and will be used against you.

What offending comment could possibly be said in SE that couldn't, in any way, be said in any other forum? I myself love to read over my post in case i made a typo, and it always screws me over when i want to correct it, or add a little more in to my post, but putting that aside, what could be said there that can't be said anywhere else?

You could always use Preview Post

Also, alot of the spammier posts and threads get moved there, so it's a likely place for flamewars and such to commence and develop.

Well, chances are, they won't think about taking the words they've said back. I just don't understand how the "holding your words against you" logic is especially more effective on SE than on anywhere else. I also don't really follow the "no attachments and no smileys" logic.

 

[PurplePoot]

I don't get the no attachments/smilies, but I have to agree with the no editing for reasons posted above.

Oh, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if from time to time users tried to get away with that (until they figured out they couldn't, of course)

IMO the off topic has a higher chance of people trying to get away with talking shit than any other part.

If people start doing such it gets moved to something else, generally.
