my wish like everyone else is to be seen
These are the rules. Read them, get to know them. Follow them.
Welcome to the reboot of Congregation of the Masses, our new off-topic forum. A lot of the jokey/trollish stuff has been moved to the newly resurrected Firebot, and a few threads that don't quite meet the standards of generating discussion will be closed.
THE RULES
1. No trolling. This is not Firebot. This is the place for discussing things in a sincere manner. The moderators will know when you're trolling, so don't do it. This also means that the serious tag is obsolete in this forum, as it applies for every thread.
2. No flaming. Be respectful to each other when posting - as you are everywhere else in the forum apart from Firebot. If you dislike someone's opinion, criticise it and disagree with it, but do not insult or use ad hominems. You will be infracted for this.
3. Content. The OP must have it. An example of one that doesn't is this one - very little thought is required to contribute. These threads were allowed in a forum, but Congregation upholds a higher standard than that now. Examples of good threads include this, this and this. When posting a discussion thread about some sort of topic like a recent event, you are expected to put some effort into it beyond posting a link and saying 'discuss'. And it goes without saying that this also applies to any replies to threads here.
4. Check if the thread is a duplicate of an existing one that's been posted over the last couple of pages. If it is, bump the thread if you have something significant to add. If nobody's posted about it in a long time, feel free to make a new one.
Have fun and welcome!
