I sure hope not--I post all over the darn place
Bicker--I can usuallt decipher what you mean with all your high dollar words. I understand all the words (though I admit to have never seen social groups called "socio appellations"--I see appellation and think wine
) but with the triple negative and also "process of emlination" thrown in, I have no idea what you are getting at! Can you try again please?
But, that's the problem. Some of them do come over her and post. That in itself is not a problem, but sometimes they will give wacky suggestions or comments and you go, "Huh???"
Then after a couple minutes you realized, "Oh that poster is a kid. That's why they thought that."
In real life, we would see the person we are talking to and we'd know they are a kid or teen and naturally would cut them some slack. But, unless they have pictures of Edward, from Twilight, in their signature, you generally don't know they are a kid.
I wish the kids and teens had to have an icon next to their screenname which clearly indicates "Child/Teen member," until they turn 18.

I still do not see how that works There is a UK board, which is defined (by the DISdiscrioption on the board lists) as for UK visitors, and one for Canadians as well. This in no way means UK or Canadian residents are not welcome on the CB. Nothing about the CBs description ("Join our moderators in a discussion forum for any topic, Disney or otherwise. Swap stories, information, ask questions...just be friendly 
") strikes me as excluding any group (well, other than unfriendly people I guess).
--maybe I should go say hello to the teens on their own board. I bet if I am friendly and respectful they won't have a problem with it (in spite of what is said upthread
)
I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't get that.
I was starting to feel really stupid as I read and reread and just couldn't put it together into something coherent
Thanks for the attempt at interpretting

Actually, we will be having a 17 year old Austrailian student here on exchange for the two weeks including Christmas. I AM planning on posting there to ask for good ideas of inexpensive gifts I can have under the tree and stocking stuffers.
I sort of see that point, but I have almost posted on the teen board to ask an opinion about what to buy for a gift, or on a program I was considering offering when I was a young adult librarian. Surely people do that once in a while
I guess I do not like telling any group of people that their ideas and input are only welcome in their own isolated place and not to the group at large. That feels discriminatory to me.
I definitely don't think that the teenagers should be forced to post only to the teen forum. I was just trying to help interpret. Now watch me be wrong. lol
