NOTHING has changed.. Check Listings Before Starting New Threads.

[flacaltenn]

We want the best informative and fresh news on the Corona outbreak... This is gonna get buried if people start new threads on the topic just to post a "comment"... Put COMMENTS in existing appropriate threads... They are there in Media, Current Events, and Politics... We know -- we've been starting merge a lot..

General policy has ALWAYS been -- 1 thread, per member, per topic, per day... NO OP can defend or help keep 3 or 8 threads on the same topic. USMB moderation DOES expect the Original Posters to participate and HELP keep their topics on track.. We hold you to a higher standard for not trolling, fighting, derailing your own threads.

If it's informative, fresh and DIFFERENT -- feel free to open ONE new thread per day.. Weaker ones will be merged into the appropriate forums or closed..

1) any Corona + (celebrities or media talent) === Media. Any Corona + (trump or congress) == Politics. And Corona + Economy == Economy Forum..

Any Corona + (lime or gin/tonic) goes to Food/Wine....

Thanks..

To paraphrase Bernie -- "Thread lines are a GOOD thing.. It means EVERYONE gets a thread"...

I have been here forever, and I have to admit, I have never seen this policy posted anywhere;

"General policy has ALWAYS been -- 1 thread, per member, per topic, per day"

I think it is a great rule though. Kudos.

I just wanna be a contestant for USMB poet laureate FCT....


Why do trolls suddenly appear
Every time you post here?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you


Why do threads fall down from on high
Every time you come by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you


On the day that you logged in the angels got together
And decided to create a skreed come true
So they sprinkled bullshit in your hair
And non sequitur in your baited que


That is why all the hacks in town
(Hacks in town)
Follow you
(Follow you)
All around
(All around)

Just like me, they long to be
Close to you


~S~ w/apologies to the Carpenters

Nicely done, sparky! I nominate YOU for USMB poet laureate.

Not a rule.. It's a policy.. Lots of things that Mod Staff have as policies that don't pollute the important rules.. Don't think we've every given a warning for that.. If it's really excessive, as it has been in past couple weeks in a couple cases, --- we just call it "spamming". In some of those cases, it's been intentional or retributional...

A fine piece of work.

One quibble though. **NEVER** apologize to The Carpenters. That should go in the other direction.

Um didn't see a thread on this and maybe not worthy of a thread, but did the site change formats or has my computer gone bonkers......

If this is the new set up, I'll be gone shortly.

Can't make head nor tails of it.

IF so, mine went bonkers too...WTF???????

It changed and seems much harder to read.

So when they going to resize the signatures to be smaller than the post itself?......…..talk about using up a lot of page space, sheesh

 

[the other mike]

Go back to the old format please. USMB is just like every other lame site out there now.

 

[the other mike]

It sucks now. Easier for Big Brother to track us I suspect.

 

[Bleipriester]

Yeah and nice copy of facebook emoticons.

 

[Bleipriester]

And mad round avatars. What am I? A Coronavirus?

 

[MarathonMike]

Has USMB been taken over by the healthcare.gov website developers? This sucks.

It's OK, it just LOOKS different. It appears to be as easy to navigate as it was before. One big difference is it doesn't list the top 10 posters for the month now. At least I haven't FOUND it.
