@AE_Collector Why it looks like we got more snow in town than farther out.

Seriously there is no need to post pictures of snow in this thread. I know it is a rarity for us on the southern West coast but really come on. We have the lounge. Can you imaging of the prairies or the rest posted about snow that is all we would see from October to may

Hi everyone. This discussion about pictures has been moved to the Lounge as being off-topic for the thread that they were posted in and are also not related to the Public Mobile service. Thanks.

@iPhoneUser You can join @AE_Collector and I outside the principals office as we snicker about getting suspended for an unofficial snow day....? Followed by shovelling the walk.

Your reference to school situations so fits your posts. Just will post this in the same type of language, you weren't suspended if you were you wouldn't be able to post you have been just told to go play on the playground where this sort of thing is supposed to be.

Thanks @ShawnC13 don't get that satin hall monitor sash in a twist! A little levity, humour and sharing go a long way in making the community a warm, welcoming place. Often filled with angry and frustrated customers that can take it out on us. Other customers willing to take time out of our lives to help others. If its not an enjoyable experience then the volunteerism on the community will suffer because we all know were not in it for the monetary rewards. This forum is successful and in turn public mobile because of the humanism. Otherwise we would have a bunch of Simon clones run by you manning the community portal filled with stock answers and " I am not a moderator."

I'll call in your circle of your equals for their opinion and if the consensus is we are out of line with our silliness I can assure you we will dial back our personalities and keep our participation to a minimum on the community and strictly to customer service requests for help. I'll post one more pic since it might be my last. Please enjoy... @AE_Collector @iPhoneUser @computergeek541 @mimmo @SD08 @Luddite @stonechucker @NDesai your opinions are needed. Thx

@darlicious first it wasn't me who moved it here and the comments of standing outside the principal office for breaking the rules (or whatever it was) seems like a personal shot at whoever moves your post to the correct area. Nobody has ever asked you to reduce your community involvement there just is the appropriate place for everything. In our recent Oracle Connect conference call Forum organization was a topic and how peoples issues get lost in pages and pages of back and forths in the thread with it getting so far off-topic that no one even knows what the thread was started for. A post where someone asks about their number showing up as a US number quickly jumps to seat sales to warmer climates and transportation options to the airports. The lounge is a great place for all of these discussions and pictures oh how beautiful the snow looks on the Mountains I enjoy them they just need to be in the right place that is all. So I don't understand when something gets moved to the appropriate location you take it as a punishment and it has to become a big show.

ETA How does jumping so far off of a topic when someone is looking for help calm the customer and help them out?

@ShawnC13 I don't disagree with posts being moved to the appropriate area. Threads can easily go off topic and only Oracle's can move them. I understand that. It's your disapproving tone and need to constantly admonish members for the smallest infractions that i have a problem with... have a sense of humour once in awhile. I'm not the only one you have perturbed. Im just the only one willing to say something about it.Try to be a little more welcoming. You attract more flies with honey than vinegar.

I would also move posts if i saw this happening in a random threads. We don't want people to get carried away in a thread and start a whole new discussions. The Lounge section was not there originally. We requested to add it just for this purpose. When you post a pic or anything unrelated to the topic, be sure to know that this will not stretch the thread with useless info to what OP is trying to get answer for. So let's not go any further regarding this issue. Be gentle and helpful as that is what we are all here for.

It's a judgement call if/when to move posts/threads to the lounge, or remove them from view entirely. PM has the final say and, so far, has not objected to any relocations done by the Oracles.

On the other hand, we each differ in our sensitivities as to socializing versus technical discussions, and PM does seem willing to encourage some socializing hence the Lounge.

On this particular discussion, I would prefer the whole Top Contributor thread be in the Lounge. Except for Oracles I have objected, and continue to object, to posting names of individuals and their ranking every month.

Not as bad as you had, but enough to keep me in by the fire.

The surveillance video says it is pretty bad out.

@will13am That was a green lawn only a few days ago? The perfect time for a walk in the newly fallen slow with city silent except for your footsteps.

It was a green lawn at 10am when the snow started to fall. If I was a little younger I will go and make snow angels. Since I am not a kid, I will don my grumpy face and go out to shovel once it stops in a couple of hours.
