For a whole host of reasons, mainly linked to some posting before midnight shenanigans from people who should know better, I have ended up starting the week thread.
I am running out of ideas for witty titles so....
From the start of 2020 we will try this differently and I will restrain myself from starting the week thread.
In return CERTAIN PEOPLE will not start the week thread before Sunday midnight. Any attempts at so doing will result in those threads being exiled to The Phantom Zone.
Multiple infringements of this rule may result in this policy being revised.
The title may only be used once in a year so you can't have 52 Rhyming Weeks
The title should be in the form of 2020 Week THEN A Number THEN The Witty Title to make them easy to find

No, you've lost as you will now be accountable to the rest of the forum for a pre midnight transgression.
Maybe we should put you on trial every time you do it......

I don't understand, I thought whomever got in first got to create the weekly thread, as long as it was after midnight, so what exactly has changed?

Because I've been staying up late to monitor for transgressions I've ended up doing it myself.
I now plan not to as long as CERTAIN PEOPLE can behave and not post before midnight.
It would be a shame if such trust was betrayed wouldn't it?

And why did Phil have to become a tyrant? Because SOMEONE was not obeying the rules!

Good crikey.
The only problem I can see here is the number of people who want to follow in Phil's footsteps and stay up to midnight to do this. I don't! (Although in most cases I'm still up then anyway because I struggle to get to sleep on Sundays).
Maybe it should be that the week thread is only started when the poster actually has something to say, therefore it doesn't need to kick off at midnight, and anyone kicking off before midnight gets cast into the phantom zone as and when Phil's having his morning cuppa the next day.

If you start the Weekly thread before midnight you definitely deserve it. Especially as it means poor Phil staying up so late. If only he could transfer his power to someone else... just for one night a week...

But why does the week thread have to be created at midnight? Just do it as early in the day as possible if you notice one isn't there.

Post by Philip Ayres on Nov 26, 2019 8:50:27 GMT
It doesn't.
I've just habitually created them because I've had to stay up till then to police Certain People.
The important point is that it musn't be before midnight. SOME PEOPLE have struggled with this.......

Maybe we need to appoint an NGO to manage this, or privatise the thread creation to see the optimisations only profiteering can provide?
