*This room is for intelligent discussion only. No spam. There will be no posts asking how someone's day was or the like.
*Examples of appropriate topics:
That is not to say the only appropriate topics are scientific. As long as you keep within the rest of the rules, you could also, for example, discuss a book you just read, or any other topic that can spark intellignet discussion.Zero Beat said:-Questions/discussions about a certain theory you may or may not disagree with in Physics
-How thorough has science been in mapping the Big Bang? Evolution?
-Natural science vs social science
*Examples of inappropriate posts:
-"Sup bro?"
-"So how was your day?"
-"SPAM! "
-"This topic is amazing."
-"That post above me was so wrong, I won't even respond. *leaves*"
-"I've been kinda inactive due to finals this week."
*No bickering about people not in the DH, including PGers-"So how was your day?"
-"SPAM! "
-"This topic is amazing."
-"That post above me was so wrong, I won't even respond. *leaves*"
-"I've been kinda inactive due to finals this week."

*The SWF global rules still apply here.
*What you SHOULD use this room for:

KrazyGlue said:For example, if a newly accepted DH member wanted to jump into the Intellectual Property thread but didn't want to have to read through all 240+ posts, they could go into the social thread and ask if their idea had been brought up already. If their idea had already been mentioned, they wouldn't waste time writing a huge essay about it as well as someone else's time who has to tell them their point had already been brought up and countered. If their idea hadn't been brought up yet, they could elaborate on it in the actual thread.
-Inappropriate posts such as the ones mentioned above.
-Asking whether a thread exists (use the search function)
-Discussing topics that are worthy of a debate thread. If you want to discuss a topic worthy of a debate thread, just make a regular thread.
-Breaking any of the rules mentioned above.
