A Plea for Direct Experience

[ozyclint]

I like this guy and I’ve never even met him.

Not sure any of us are worthy of meeting him.

I can’t comment on parrots.

I’m just here to inquire about moving to Wyoming…

(or Montana if that’s what you guys think is best for me and my family)…

The nerds have entered the chat. I will break it down from us simple folk.

Having two different outcomes from the exact product/process is not the focus of the thread.

Posting about what Uncle Rico told you about his 300 whinny when he was six, Budwiser's deep is what we are looking to avoid.

I'm guessing things didn't go too well for the cowboys yesterday.

Hawaii is where it's at, jump on the bus before everyone else does.

"Back in the old days" there would be some reminder posts, every once in a while, calling for folks to chime in with direct experience, and not simply repeat what the group was saying. There was also the infamous "parrot" accusations a while ago, ha. Snyder's UPS/Fedex truck review joke. Etc, etc.

"In my experience" of course can be extrapolated into some topics without harm, so I do not think this is a 100% all the time kind of thing. I'm sure I've broken faith with this "rule" at some point.

But I feel compelled to post, and ask, for this simple go/no go before posting - am I talking about something that I have direct experience with? Otherwise, groupthink tends to take over. This could apply to just about everything we discuss on here. Free exchange of ideas, experiences, and opinions is not in danger, but the validity of some of it gets watered down at times.

@robby denning, @Ryan Avery feel free to nuke this if it does not apply anymore or you don't agree.......feels like it is time to float the idea again.

Do you have any experience moderating forums or developing forum decorum? Official experience?

Moderating behavior via posting, calling out bull; yes. Moderating via post deletion, no. No one is talking about hard criteria for posting and enforcement. This idea is not new, and predicated on self-consideration.

Moderators from time to time have asked for this exact thing. Been on here a minute.

Call me juvenile, but a "plea for direct experience" is just begging for a "your mom" joke:

So without further delay, "your mom pled for direct experience."
