@great-big-stees saidThese aren't the forums you're looking for ...
Simple, turn around and look elsewhere for the kinds of people you are seeking. π

@anitya saidThank you, @Anitya. I appreciate your comments.

Interesting question. Interesting in terms of someone who is an outsider, but regular reader of forum posts here.
In most cases I suspect the normal man keeps walking on after reading and/or maybe posting a comment or two.
There is not really an easy place for new "normal" people, chess players who find RHP and maybe want to assimilate. The forums are ...[text shortened]... eryone is good. New normal people with new or different ideas need not apply - just keep on walking.

@anitya saidThere seems to be a misconception here.

@drewnogal saidI suppose that if that is true in almost any setting maybe there is no normal partly because it is our unique set of solutions to dealing with that process that creates a significant part of our identity.

Maybe the question is are there normal or more typical solutions and does RHP welcome them?

@relentless-red saidI think RHP welcomes everyone...for a time. Just don’t overstep the site’s “boundaries”.

@ponderable saidI would call it a stretching of the truth, my nice way of putting it! π

@great-big-stees saidThe one thing this site doesn't have is clear boundaries. I had a post alerted and removed for saying that somebody had had stains on their shirt like jam and cream! It happened the day after I posted it so it wasn't automod. π€·βοΈ

@relentless-red saidIn fairness sir, that post was highly offensive to scones.

@great-big-stees saidThere is a fine line where those boundaries are and depending on the Moderator (Mod discretion) different views on what might be offensive and what isn't. I find there are no rules set in stone. Many of them have changed over the years to, I guess to keep up with the time after all the site has been here for a couple of decades.
