Please read the Board Rules before registering:

**Note: These are the current rules of the board but they are ALL open to discussion and possible amendments/repealments may take place through a period of debate followed by a simple majority vote.**

1. Absolutely zero tolerance on spamming and
flooding. Users can be banned for life immediately
for a single infraction. Flooding is defined as FOUR posts or more with the same or similar content within a period of TEN minutes or less or FOUR shouts or more with the same or similar content within a period of SEVEN minutes.
2. No overt hate speech/links to overt hate speech is
allowed. Users can be banned for life
immediately for a single infraction.
3. Flaming (i.e. insulting attacks on other members) is
allowed ONLY in the FLAME WARS section.
It will not be tolerated anywhere else on the board
and any infractions can lead to a lifetime ban.
5. Any Member who creates a 'sockpuppet' account (i.e. a fake account) will be suspended for a period of no less than 90 days.
6. Any Member caught impersonating another member in the shoutbox will be suspended for at LEAST one week. Further infractions of this kind may lead to a lifetime ban.
7. Rules 1 and 2 also apply to the Shoutbox.
8. Any Member who does not log in for a period of two months will be immediately terminated.
9. Supreme Adjudicators will be elected to a term not exceeding ONE calendar year (365 days).
10. All suspensions may be appealed. An appeal must be made within 24 hours of notice of a suspension and any submissions must be posted in the Penalty Box within 48 hours of the notice. If 24 hours passes without an appeal, the Member will begin serving his/her suspension. All Members of CB may be involved in the appeal process. The Supreme Adjudicator will render a final decision which may include: a) upholding the original suspension; b) amending the suspension period (either higher or lower); nullifying the suspension.
12. Any Member may ask for a vote to impeach the Supreme Adjudicator. In 30 days, a vote will be held to determine whether or not the Supreme Adjudicator should stay in his/her role. During the intermediary period, a thread will be created in Board Announcements, wherein the members of CB may debate the motion to impeach. If the vote is unanimous, the Supreme Adjudicator will be removed immediately and the Member who launched the impeachment motion will be installed as the Interim Supreme Adjudicator. Members including the deposed Supreme Adjudicator will have 14 days to declare their candidacy for Supreme Adjudicator in Board Announcements. 30 days after the deadline for announcement of candidacy, an election will be held. If only one member declares his/her candidacy, he/she will automatically become Supreme Adjudicator at the expiration of 30 days. If no member declares his/her candidacy, the Interim Supreme Adjudicator will assume the position of Supreme Adjudicator at the expiration of 30 days after the deadline for candidacy. He/she will be Supreme Adjudicator for a term of one year.
If the motion to impeach fails, the Member who launched the motion will be suspended for a period of 120 days for causing undue instability to the Board and for damaging the reputation of the Supreme Adjudicator.
Any Member who invokes Rule 12 may withdraw his/her invocation at any time before the day of the scheduled impeachment vote at no penalty.
16. No member may change his/her Member Name more than ONE time per year up to a maximum of THREE name changes. Name changes will be approved or denied by the discretion of the Supreme Adjudicator or Interim Supreme Adjudicator if applicable.
17. No member or guest of Chatterb0x may post any altered picture, video or audio recording of any other mmber or guest of Chatterb0x without that Member or Guest's expressed written permission. Furthermore, no member or guest of Chatterb0x may post any altered picture, video, or audio recording of any mmber or gest's family members, friends, acquaintances, or colleagues without the expressed written permission of that member or guest. Any violation will lead to an automatic 100 day suspension from Chatterb0x. A subsequent violation will result in a 1,000 day suspension from Chatterb0x. A third violation will result in a 10,000 day suspension from Chatterb0x. A fourth violation will result in a 25,000 day suspension from Chatterb0x.
18. Under exceptional times of threats (internal and/or external), and backed by a simple majority vote of Members, the Supreme Adjudicator may declare martial law whereby all rules will be immediately suspended. The Supreme Adjudicator will have then been granted full authority for a period of up to 30 days to carry out whatever action(s) he/she deems necessary to protect and preserve the wellbeing of Chatterb0x and its Members.
19. Chatterb0x Election Day will be September 7 of every year. All Active Members as of 9:00 AM Atlantic Time on August 31 will be listed as candidates; at which time the poll will open.

The winner will become Supreme Adjudicator of Chatterb0x at 12:00 AM Atlantic Time on September 8.
20. In the event of a Supreme Adjudicator's resignation, death, or physical/mental incapacity to fulfill the role, the Member with the second amount of votes in the previous Chatterb0x election will become Interim Supreme Adjudicator effective immediately. If there was no sole second place finisher, the previous Supreme Adjudicator will become Interim Supreme Adjudicator effective immediately. The successor will retain his/her Interim Supreme Adjudicator position unless altered via Rules 12, 19, or this Rule.
21. Any member who suggests or actively tries to split up the Slammy Gang will be charged with treason and if convicted by a simple majority vote, be banned from Chatterb0x for life.
22. The threshold for conviction for violations of Rules 3, 5, and 17 is beyond a reasonable doubt.
23. The Supreme Adjudicator has full discretion to edit or delete any posts he/she believes could, did, or are causing instability to Chatterb0x.
24. The Supreme Adjudicator may suspend a member he/she suspects of treasonous or pernicious activity for up to SEVEN days without a formal charge.

Interesting that you mentioned 'man's drink.' For sure, most people here who drink scotch are men, but I find that gender divisions with relation to drinking seem to be more pronounced in the UK. For example, almost every female drinker here drinks beer, where I've been lead to believe that this is not the case in the UK.

I only drink lager if it is hot and a Saturday, I went through a phase of drinking Irish cider and a brief phrase of drinking margaritas. I prefer red wine as white wine gives me eye-watering, throat burning acid indigestion.

I prefer white wine.

I go back and forth between lager and ale.

I don't drink margaritas.

:rolleyes:

The Americans pronounce 'Scotch' as 'Scatch'. Incidentally few people call whisky 'Scotch' here as that is an American thing. Here in Glasgow whisky is pronounced 'whuss-key', and as I said above it is an old-man's drink. Women (of any age ) don't drink it, either at home, or in public, because whisky is so unfeminine a drink. Young cool cat men don't touch it either as whisky is seriously uncool if you are under 50.

I love Brandy with L&P and a slice of lemon in it.

Wikipedia on L&P:-

Lemon & Paeroa, also known as L&P, is a sweet soft drink manufactured in New Zealand. Traditionally made by combining lemon juice with carbonated mineral water from the town of Paeroa, it is now manufactured by multi-national Coca-Cola.

Lemon & Paeroa can be found only in New Zealand and in specialty New Zealand stores abroad. The paradoxical advertising slogan "World famous in New Zealand" has become a popular New Zealand saying meaning very well known locally, but not receiving recognition overseas.

Over the years attempts have been made to market variations, such as L&P dry. In 2005 "Sweet As L&P" with artificial sweetener aspartame was introduced with the modified slogan "World Famous in New Zealand since quite recently", the traditional product now being advertised as "World Famous in New Zealand since AGES ago".[1][2]

L&P is also often used as a mixer in New Zealand bars, particularly with Southern Comfort.
