We need rules otherwise this will turn into the inbred sister of General Chat.

The first rule of FOG Chat is you do not tell newbies of FOG Chat

The second rule of FOG Chat is you should keep, largely, to the topic of games, consoles and suchlike.

The third rule of FOG Chat is that any stupid, useless or newbie posts should be ignored. If we give them no attention they will tire of posting here.

The fourth rule of FOG Chat is that there are to be no 'spam magnets' such as "the person below is", "word association" or "sign in, sign out" threads.

The fifth rule of FOG Chat is regulars should do their best not to bait Jats and newbies into the forum, or to give them reason to spam badly and annoy everyone.

There are perhaps areas I missed out but if we follow the above guidelines then FOG chat should be much better than the God forsaken general chat. Urgh.

The seventh rule of FOG Chat is that all posts which are made to expose the sheer stupidity of Newbies must be signed off with

'you = fap-face'

Also the fourth rule is no spam, but there is already a topic called the person below is.
