New Forum Rules Section

Grams · Guru

I totally agree Vic. I commented on some great photos before, but as I don't go into the other forum about where you are...I just want to know, not search through threads trying to find the right poster, so I can get this info. It would have been so much simpler to have added the name of the place to the original photo.

jetj · Guru

Sounds good to me. A bit of clarity in naming the threads is good and most conditions are fairly standard and good manners.

Thanks for the heads up there Vic, I didn't notice it. One thing though about headings and where is it. Where is woop woop?

Sorry all, I couldn't help myself.

Great idea Cindy, good to see some rules. Keep up the good work.

Just past Nowhere Dougwe.

Here it is Dougie...Say "thank you"

Beth54 · Guru

Subject title clarity - yes!

And the state in which a town is. Even worse, just the name of a creek. Pretty hard to find those on Google Maps.

I hope the Rules Section gets the attention from those who need to read it. wink

spida · Guru

Yes yes yes please - a state at least. I am sure it is not just us Kiwis who have no idea where places are

Good idea ,as some times us travelled nomads ,read some thing and have no idea where the place / location is, so how some one newbies or people from N/z or where ever would have no hope of ever knowing where this special place to visit is state/ teritory/

Thanks Cindy.

There REALLY is a Woop Woop!!!! .... and its in WA !!!!
In the 2006 Australian Census, 403 people considered Woop Woop (as part of Noggerup) the place they most likely call home. The average person was a comfortable 42 years of age, and they had a less than average weekly gross income of around $450 per week. Woop Woop folk that are on their way to owning their own home, found they had an affordable weekly mortgage of around $312. For renters, the average rent in Noggerup was around $92 a week. In terms of employment, 51.36% of people in Noggerup were considered a part of the workforce.

....so whooppee to all Woop Woops...so might you not be arrested if you were pulled over in Perth and you stated you were from West Woop Woop?......?

herbie · Guru

The reaction we got when asked for address while working/ living was in WA was when we were based at a mine site and it was called Usless Loop, must admit the reactions were pricless from people. Even the police one time getting pulled up for random breath test did a double take when he looked at my license.

Cindy has done a great job in putting in writing the forum rules and guidelines - they have always been there, just not in writing, so now no excuses! Behave yourselves!!!!!!!

Perhaps Cindy could add to break posts up into paragraphs especially long ones to make it easier to read. smile

liddle · Senior Member

Shame that the link that Cindy announced the newly written rules on is locked and does not have provision for the list members to comment or make suggestions.

brickies · Guru

Cindy thank you for the hard work in drawing up the rules of the forum most people I am sure welcome the rules set by you and remember you control this forum very well and you can't please everybody

It's a set of forum rules (read only) not asking for comment or suggestion, they are designed to inform all members about how they are expected to interact and behave on Grey Nomads.
