Th elevel of misposting of threads is beginning to climb in a slightly disconcerting fashion. So, how about a few simple rules to consider before posting?

If it's about philosophy, theory, politics, ethics or that abstract shit, it probably belongs in the head Shop. Putting it in the Head Shop will minimise the amount of static generated by people needing to share information about their. boy. friend, what they did last night, why they are single, utterly tangential anecdotes from their childhood and so on. If it is a topic which would be improved by such things, the HEad Shop may nto be the way forward, although it seems to matter less and less.

If it is about the immediate practice of politics, news stories, current events - the Switchboard.

If it is about books, comics, music or films, or indeed theatre, art or TV, there is an area especially for it.

Meetings in the Gathering, creative writing in the Creation, along with questions/comments about creative writing. Comments on the running of and mechanics of participation in Barbelith in Policy.

If none of the above, consider the Conversation.

Any more?

Help threads should go in the Help forum, whether it be help on the board or help in real life because your girlfriend has ran off with your stepfather.

My girlfriend gets on really well with my stepfather, as I was saying to More Please the other night!

I think moderators have the power to move things, if they exercized 'em a bit more....
(although I think it's just as an eviction, rather than moving threads INto appropriate fora).

Utterly tangential childhood anecdotes are my metier, though. I breathe them like air.

Wow! Really? Let's start a thread in the Head Shop about it!

Breathing air causes cancer, you know. Fact. I saw this documentary called Brass Eye about it the other night.

Tom, have you made the Haus a moderator yet? Reading between the lines I think this might address his problem. Because I'm sure he would use his powers for good.

I seem to have been made moderator of the Switchboard without warning - which is fine, but I'm frustrated by the extent to which there are no threads there worthy of killing or moving...

Yes, put Haus in charge of the Head Shop. He'll sort the wheat from the chaff. Vote Haus!

Haus sorts the signal from the noise? Haus sorts the post-men from the girlboys?

Argh! Feeling a bit down in your mid-twenties? Bothered by how much TV you watch in a sort of vague way? Get out of the Head Shop you FILTH!
