Hi, I'm Cat. The genius that thought maybe I can make the world's first website where everyone's  fun to be with...a “be nice” community. 'The Nice Guy Algorithm' only works if people bring a bit of patience, humour, curiosity, and respect with them. So, I put my meat processor together with Flicker's (wherever and whatever that is) to come up with some ground rules.

 

You don't have to agree with everyone here, but, c'mon folks, you do need to deal with others in good faith. It ain't Divorce Court!

​

​

***Be civil.

​

***Disagree without being poisonous.

​

***No trolling, bullying, baiting, or personal attacks.

​

***No spamming, flooding threads, or turning every discussion into a fight.

​

***Stay roughly on topic...and when you wander, do it in the right place. Flip to another section if you need to.

​

***There is a real human being on the other end of your conversation...so remember that great wheel of karma.

​

***If you are here to learn, ask honestly. Dumb questions are expected, welcome and all part of the fun.

​

***If you are here to teach, do it generously and patiently. Lot's of stuff here ain't even in the least bit easy to get your head around.

​

***If you make a mistake, own it, correct it, and move on. It 's no big deal, anyway.

​

***OUR MOST IMPORTANT RULE...  "the rule of italics"   When any AI  construct is brought to any post, please use italics!

​

​

​

Just try to be useful, respectful, and welcoming. Like it was at Woodstock. (And, yeah, it was good fun!)

​

The whole point of the NICE guy algorithm is to shape a digital alter ego that will be nice to you.

 

So, let's be nice to everyone else — it's good practice!
