Things that will get your thread locked... | The Coffeehouse

Is it sad that my badge picture is one of the best ones I have of myself?

Channel 9 is a place to come and share ideas. That said, racism is not tolerated here. If you post such comments your thread will be locked, and you will be banned. This is the only warning I'm giving out, so don't be surprised.

Apologies to anyone that was offended by Darbacour's comments earlier. If he returns and continues that line of commenting he will be gone.

What about Raymond's 500 threads about global warming? He doesn't even start a discussion, just posts links to random videos and articles.

1) You're exaggerating
2) discussions ensue ~~irregardless~~ (that's not a word) regardless
3) freedom of speech means tolerating threads you don't like or care to participate in
4) CoffeeHouse has binding rules

Isn't it she? (Darbacour kept going on about being a "stupid blonde" or something of that nature when it first showed up).

I haven't looked much into these threads, but it is nice to see that Channel 9 is running as well as ever. Smiley

It has been running well lately. Luckily people like corona_coder and foxbar aren't bright enough to really stir things up, so they're easy to control Smiley

It's a tough call to make about what gets you in trouble or not. Darbacour's comments were definitely over the line. As much as I don't agree with the others, they tend to be less directly insulting entire cultures of people. Well most of the time. Eagle was gone for awhile after he crossed the same line and unless he crosses it again he's welcome here.

Like death in comics, banning on Channel 9 is rarely permanent.

Welcome Change

In fact, we hate banning Niners. We are family. We don't care if you hate MS or not. All are welcome here. Just be respectful. Pretty simple.

I have a long and chequered history with the old bottle of dog (long story) .. my personal favourite used to be Brains SA (the SA stands for Skull Attack), with the odd pint (or three) of Dog Bolter.

I take it Newcastle brown is available in the US?

At what price, Freedom?

Yes, it is.

We are in a kind of Golden Age of beer in the US with more imports and "microbrews" in bars and resturants.

Speaking of Beer...

Refrigerator Will Toss You Can of Beer

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- When John Cornwell graduated from Duke University last year, he landed a job as software engineer in Atlanta but soon found himself longing for his college lifestyle. So the engineering graduate built himself a reminder of life on campus: a refrigerator that can toss a can of beer to his couch with the click of a remote control.

When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought you were talking about this kind of thread lock!

out of memory

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is my fav right now. I like most English beers my fav is probably Boddingtons (especially when it is on tap!).

A suggestion for Microsoft's Channel 9 consideration:

Instead of locking all the posts to the thread, lock or even delete the post or thread that clearly goes over the line.

A good discussion or conversation gets started. Then it only takes one individual with very offensive comments and by past history Channel 9 locks the initial thread and every post to the thread, the good, the bad and the ugly and even the boring.

I think in many cases the offensive comments are posted to get the initial thread and posts locked.

Once the initial post and all threads are locked, it will be off the first page within 2-3 hours, which as far as I am concerned is exactly what Microsoft's Channel 9 intends for any topic that is not strictly technology related.

I find that offensive. I think you can be more discriminating.

I remember one of my past post where I quoted several comments of the President of the United States made in a prepared speech about terriorism which within minutes was locked.

I was not pleased and I suspect neither were many Niners.

aim stupidly high, expect to fail often.

I thought you were going to start this kind of thread.

Those were the days, if racism isn't tolerated is language-ism, because I really hate VB Tongue Out
