How would you feel about a new Flash Flood of Frivolity forum?

[Boojatta]

Please do not "dilute" the forum by posting actual news. This forum is for opinions about news, and not for actual news.

Please be aware of the following restrictions when posting in Flash Flood of Frivolity Forum:

1. Do not post news.

2. Do not post about a topic unless there are already at least two other threads on DU about that topic. Please note that we are very strict about this. Multiple discussion threads about the same topic are the reason that this forum exists. Please don't misuse the forum by posting unique items.

3. Do not post serious or on-topic news stories. The moderators of the Flash Flood of Frivolity forum have the authority to act as editors, and may remove threads that they do not consider sufficiently frivolous.

Be aware that we delete, lock, or move discussion threads from the Flash Flood of Frivolity forum that do not fulfill these requirements. We will not send you a message explaining where your post went. Thank you for your understanding.

1. It could be named Boojatta Group, and you could be

the Moderator. It would have to be a Group, I think, so you could enforce arbitrary and frivolous rules. I think you should suggest this to the admins immediately. You'll be soooo busy...

2. OOps, I thought this would be a great idea but I reread the rules.

It is the #2 rule that made change my mind. Who has all day to check?
Surely you jest about this part.

Or is the whole idea 'jest'?

Perhaps you mistook General Discussion for the Latest Breaking News forum?

6. That explains why some of my threads were moved to the Lounge.

They weren't frivolous enough to stay in GD!

8. There is nothing funny or frivolous about floods

Given current events in Pakistan, I am shocked and offended that you would use such a metaphor... :o
