TCN CHARTER- YOU WILL BE QUIZZED ON THE CONTENTS.

Sarky

This is a charter.
More specifically, this is the charter for The Cuckoo's Nest. The Cuckoo's Nest is the forum you are currently looking in on from the magic box that you usually type Facebook updates nobody reads.

This charter is quite unique. You would do well to read it. It will save you writing a lot of angry PMs that I will either not read or just laugh at.

The Cuckoo's Nest (heretofore thereafter to be also known as (the preceding aforementioned phrase "also known as" to be hereafter also known as "AKA") "TCN" or "The forum" or the aforementioned "The Cuckoo's Nest" herein) is not a normal forum. It is not After Hours, it is not the Nocturnal Forum. It is CERTAINLY not the Ladies' Lounge, although wearing ladies' undergarments is not at all frowned upon.

It is a place for Silly.

Let me just repeat that in very big, multicoloured letters to emphasise this point, as it is very, very important.

The Cuckoo's Nest IS A PLACE FOR SILLY.

This means, first and foremost, that serious discussion has NO PLACE here. We mean it. If you want to talk about the latest budget or how terrible it was that some guy got arrested for drink driving, or how Ireland was robbed in the World Cup, then you are not welcome here. There are hundreds of other forums for that sort of MUNDANE RUBBISH, it will not be allowed here unless SPECIFICALLY stated by the moderators.

The only consistency you should expect in anything in TCN is that things are consistently inconsistent. The moderators are here to keep things off topic, to nip any serious or mundane chat in the bud, and change things about on a whim without any notice. Hell, even the admins sometimes get drunk and change things without telling us, so don't bother crying to anyone that your posts suddenly transformed into Rick Astley videos or whatever. If this doesn't sound like your cup of tea, then consider posting somewhere else.


Other things that you should note (You agreed to most of this when you created your account, so breaking these rules makes you deserving of MOCKERY):

• Posting anything about Glee will get you banned for at least a week. There are other forums for such degenerate muck.
• No porn or racism. You should know this. Unless you're STUPID. Are you STUPID? PROVE IT BY NOT POSTING PORN OR RACISM.
• No spamming unless it's funny. Spam is a Communist war atrocity. DON'T BE A FILTHY COMMIE.
• No personal abuse, unless it's REALLY FUNNY. Calling someone a "bollix" is not really funny. It just shows you don't know how to spell "bollocks". You fool.
• Wednesdays are NAKED POSTING DAY. SERIOUSLY*.
• KABLAMMO!
• Seriously, no serious talk. I'm saying it again BECAUSE I CARE. SERIOUSLY.
• Posting in the "post here to get banned" thread WILL GET YOU BANNED. I can't believe I actually have to spell that out, but the amount of people wondering why they were suddenly banned just shows you why it's called the EXTREME STUPIDITY FILTER.
• There is ONE exception to the previous rule. Sometimes the moderators will give posters immunity to being banned for posting in the EXTREME STUPIDITY FILTER. The names of such posters will be displayed here, in the charter.
• Look up Dadaism. No, really. TCN is about surrealism, daftness and straight-out-balls-to-the-wall bizarre. There's couple of threads where people can toil away at boring repetitive banality if they really want, but you don't want to do that. You want to leap into the jaws of death, redecorate his stomach and throw a party with beer and strippers in there. Go on. Dare to be f*cking mad.
• More cowbell. This cannot be over-emphasised. MORE F*CKING COWBELL.

These are not the only rules, of course. There are a bunch of secret ones we won't tell you about until after we've banned you. Why? Because it's more fun that way!**

Finally, read the previous charter. It's mostly the same thing, but more explosions. Also, if you enter the Konami Code on that thread a cartoon of amp will appear and do a sexy dance.

*This point is not true. EVERY day is naked posting day.
**This statement is also not serious. We probably won't tell you about the rules after you're banned, either.***
*** If you have taken any of the footnotes, or the statements relating to the footnotes, in any way seriously, you are highly recommended to remove the stick from you colon before posting here.
