Now for a more serious answer:


The Osmosian Order wrote:
-Stay on topic.


In the programming forums this is very useful. In the Lounge and Soapbox this would constrain the interaction. What makes them so interesting is that the topic can change.


The Osmosian Order wrote:
-Don't post useless messages that do nothing to further the conversation


Why not? If someone has said something I agree or a joke I sometimes just vote a 5 or post a smilie. If you think it adds nothing then you've not been on the receiving end. If I post a joke I appreciate the odd smilie or laughing face in return. It shows that people enjoyed it, even although they have nothing more to add.


The Osmosian Order wrote:
-Don't make unsubstantiated claims


This would definitely make the soapbox boring if unsustantiated claims were banned. A lot of these claims are mearly opinion anyway and everyone is entitled to an opinion (whether you like it or not)


The Osmosian Order wrote:
-Don't express strong opinions about anything until you have thoroughly investigated the matter.


I'd never vote if I did that.


The Osmosian Order wrote:
-Keep an open mind. Just because an idea is new or strange to you, doesn't mean it is wrong. Be, in general, quick to hear and slow to speak.


I agree with that... But on the other hand, it is easier said than done. Everyone has opinions on things already and shifting opinion can be difficult especially when that opinion has been built on actual experience.

The mind is like a parachute - It works best when it is open.


"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."
--Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
