    Posts in the Coffeehouse forum must be at least one sentence long or else will be subject to deletion by the staff or tribunes. Emoticons may not be included in this initial sentence or the post again becomes subject to deletion by the staff or tribunes. No warnings will be given out as a result of this rule.

    A sentence is defined as a complete statement including a subject and a verb, bound by punctuation and capitalization of the first letter of the first word, and also including all complex, non-standard, but also acceptable variants on the simple structure.

    Is this a way to counter the whole "this" thing that is going on?

    It's a counter to all irrelevant distractions from the conversation in the serious business forum. Everyone can technically still do the "this" thing on the rest of the forums.

    You guys probably should have gone forward with that whole "banned people running for tribune" thing before putting down more restrictions.

    Well now that we can have some sort of order in the place maybe things will be a bit less nonsensical.

    A key feature of this rule is that you won't get warned for it, and your post might not get deleted at all. But you, by refusing to use basic internet civility, or proper sentence structure, forfeit any right you had to expression within the Coffeehouse. As a result you should really look to make an effort and post something legible if you want your message to be heard at all.

    Wait, maybe I misread this. Is this just Stalin's Coffeehouse video forum, or the entire Coffeehouse Section?

    Because the latter would only make it, "I agree with this." instead of "this".

    The Coffeehouse forum as in the area where Political/Current Events, General Philosophy, Historical Events, and the Coffee Cast are.

    Then it is worse than I thought, although I don't now why anyone would care enough to go through the effort making a legislation for or against it.

    Oh well.

    Is writing ONE legible sentence in a debate/discussion forum REALLY so difficult?

    It's a lot easier to just say This and get your opinion across than type it all up again.

    And if your not going to make us type it all up again and will let us get away with just sayng, "I agree with this." then the effect of the bill is non-existant and will only irritate people.

    Either way though it's not worth fighting over.

    I find it hard to believe you have the same opinions and thoughts about the topic.
