The TPU UK Clubhouse

scaminatrix said:
I think we need to remember what TPU's ideals are: It's not a Hitler regime here, where you follow the rules/topic or get banned. Double posting and going off topic is something that the mods won't moan about (unless it's excessive) so why should we moan about other people doing it? That's what the report button is for.

Id rather have a mod clarify the rules.
If anyone has a problem with a user just report them saying your bit just like Scam said in another thread himself.

The thing that helped me most was thinking about how the forum's laid out. The rules are there, pretty much, to protect (members) and entice (new members). I follow the rules to the letter and use all correct spelling and punctuation in, say, a review thread or the case gallery because that's where a lot of new members start off/first visit.
The Clubhouse can be a bit more relaxed, as a Stealth thread can, because we haven't gotta worry about frightening off any potential members/traffic.

I would guess it's kind of an unwritten rule.

Certainly. Especially when people in other Clubhouse's are allowed to talk about guns and cars. I would spend more time over at GN, but since I found out that there's a whole thread dedicated to people showing off their marijuana plants and asking how to fix drooped leaves etc., I'm avoiding the place.
I'm not against weed at all lol but it's not where I want my IP to go.

What is a stealth thread? I have never heard of this term.

It's when Kreij makes a contest that's only targeted for certain users. He done a coding one for coders, with a title that would only attract coders to enter. This stealth thread is for gamers only, hence the title. It also keeps out the idiots who aren't interested in reading the rules (as the title suggests it contains rules of the gaming section) - very clever of him eh? He's quite good at doing them.

That doesn't make sense that means if you apply that to all threads they are all technically stealth threads going by your definition Scam.

I don't see that relation.

An easier way to put it: A stealth thread is a covert competition aimed at certain users.

What i got was it was a thread that attracted certain users, like a thread that says something about linux is supposed to attract linux users. All thread names are supposed to do that.
EDIT: Im not trying to be a dick i just still don't understand. What you basically said in the above post is its a competition thread that doesn't say its a competition in the thread title.
 
Na, you musta missed the crucial word in my description of a stealth thread.

That's the point of a stealth thread - not everyone is supposed to know it's a competition. Kreij wants the competition aimed at gamers, so he's made it so only gamers will enter the thread, and therefore only gamers will know it's a contest. The thread aimed at coders was the same.

I don't know how I can be more clear. I would say to PM Kreij and ask him, he'll be able to word it better than me.

In a "General" clubhouse their is no topic so to speak, so for example, if I see something posted thats inflamitory I will probably just delete it the first time, if it continues I will issue a zero point infraction as a warning and so on and so forth. Double posting as a one off is not infraction material, repeated and deliberate laziness by continuing to do it when asked to actually use the "multiqoute" or "edit" tab might be, individual circumstances may differ.

For example, the Mailmans comment above is both un-necessary and could be considered inflamitory (to some who don't know him), so it's gone, if it returns I might need to spank him, he may enjoy that of course but thats the risk we take!

This man knows humor. Which is surprising considering he comes from the nation that produced Mr. Bean and "Are you being served".
