Rules (English section), Bans, Spam & Menu Translations!

---

1. DA ROOLZ

---

The main rule of the "English Only" subsection of Partyflock is... errr... English Only! (gee, simple ain't it? ) which means:

- no Dutch
- no mock English (see below)
- no other languages (unless specified by a moderator)

after all, this section is meant to help our ever growing number of non-Dutch members, not to confuse them any more than they already are so unless it's to explain something (or anything like that), posting in Dutch *will* be considered an offense.


Other rules:

- avoid making duplicate threads - before you start a thread, check first if there isn't already one just like it. (Duplicate threads in the Dutch section don't count!)

- no spamming
- no dating
- careful with rude jokes (not all nationalities have the same sense of humor)
- easy on the nudie pics
- no need to prove every other reply that you know the word "fuck"
- no politically oriented stuff
- no racist remarks
- no "hello, I'm new here" threads please (we get 300 to 500 new members each day... imagine the mess that would make )
- no off topic

and most of all:

- BE NICE!


Happy posting!

2. BANS

---

Here's how it works:

- Every time you violate this site's policy, you'll be issued a warning, which can get you anything from 0 to 3 demerits, depending on how serious the violation is. For instance: starting a duplicate thread gets you 0 (zero) demerits, starting a racist thread will get you 3 (three).

- As soon as the total of all your demerits so far is a multiple of 5 (so: 5, 10, 15, ...) you'll be temporarily banned from this site.

- The length of the ban will be determined by the total of demerits you've gained during the last 3 months, the so-called "active points". It's most definitely NOT allowed to circumvent bans by creating a second account. Such accounts will ALWAYS be permanently banned as soon as they're spotted.

- Permanent bans will rarely be issued in other cases, unless we're 100% positive that you've only joined to cause trouble.

Now of course it's always possible that you wish to dispute a warning or a ban, which you can do by
- mailing helpdesk@partyflock.nl or
- using this form: https://partyflock.nl/contact/form/ELEMENT/helpdesk or
- ask French Connection to mediate (only for those who don't speak Dutch).

However, it's always better just to be nice all of the time, which should save us all tons of trouble

PS. if you've forgotten how many warnings / demerits / active points you have, just ask any one of the moderators!

3. SPAM

---

Do not, I repeat DO NOT send invitations for parties using the Personal Message ("PB") section. This is against this site's policy, classifies as "spam" and would get you 4 (yes, four) demerit points.

If you want to send multiple invitations, please contact promotie@partyflock.nl. Promotional PMs/PBs are from 1 cent up! (which is pretty cheap anyway )

About "mock english"

"Mock English" is anything that may look or sound like English to some, but is utterly incomprehensible for somebody who is really English-based, just like the Swedish chef in the Muppet Show will sound slightly Swedish... except to someone from Sweden

Example 1. Replacing the original English sounds in a word with the corresponding Dutch sounds, e.g. "I love you very much" >> "Aai luf joe ferrie mutsj"

Example 2. Changing *some* words to English and keep others deliberately Dutch, e.g. "With my reet in the prikkeldreet" which really means "With my ass in the barbed wire"

Example 3. Doing a literal, Babelfish-like word-for-word translation, e.g. the Dutch expression "Hij ging het hoekje om" becomes "He went around the little corner" while it REALLY means "He kicked the bucket" (as in "died")

So the key factor is "comprehensibility for the English-spoken"... which means that spelling errors, dyslexia, accidental mistranslations (not quite the right word), chat lingo (ppl, btw, brb) and deliberate misspellings which are still completely comprehensible to those of Anglic descent (e.g. "Da Roolz") are NOT mock english and won't get you (or me) any demerits

All clear now?

Absolutely. There's a big difference between spelling errors and deliberately abusing a language or making it incomprehensible on purpose

Can you eat rules?

Cool Richmond Hill that is?

When i lived there, it was downtown
Wellesley St W. near Queenspark

and later on at HarbourSquare 33
near LakeshoreBlvd. / QueensQay w.
View to Skydome & CN Tower @ one side, view to Toronto Islands & Lake Ontario on the other side

never mind AmunRa , I know her she's a nutter
(what fits her very well)

Newmarket actully and its 18 minutes if i drive LOL

when i lived in TO i lived at sherbourne and Queen just the other side of that big strip club lol

Damned
So now i know who was our cabdriver that took us from Koreatown to King Street in less then 10 minutes

Uitspraak van AmunRa op dinsdag 10 mei 2005 om 03:58:

Hey... Been there, done that

I Would like to say, most incredible clubs i've ever seen, and for that manner most delightful ladies as well
Seems like it's forbidden to be ugly @ Toronto Downtown at night

not true im an ugly mother fucker and they let me down there

then again im also most likly playing a gig when i go down so maybe thats it

and i guess my girlfriend makes up for the fact that im ugly and shes hot

Wheheheheh
But all dressed up as well...

Had the time of my life overthere

@ Which clubs do you spin then?

club 56 and funhaus

Hmm don't know them... Probably that's why i could not find (early) hardcore in Toronto

Went to places like Guvernment/Koolhaus, Docks, Tonic, LavaLounge, SharkCity, Mike's Appartment, This Is London, Montana etc. to get at least some decent electronic housemusic

I've just put a somewhat full definition of "mock english" up top... since no english-based person would miscomprehend "Da Roolz", it's allowed!

Ok, DSW.. it was just to help to get the rules better, you know that

thank you!

You are Welcome

Uitspraak van AmunRa op dinsdag 10 mei 2005 om 04:11:

im an ugly mother fucker

eknuff ta make dem no-tiss, yessirree massa suh! - DSW

i read english pretty well but i do know what you wrote here are you upc ?

This is too confusing, my brain has an error, great idea DSW




I mean it, superb idea

@ Reinkanarie:

I guess you'd have to grow up in a language to still recognize it when it's warped

indeed, the dutch don't have a sense of humor!

Must be why I'm posting English jokes all the time, eh?

Shame you're dutch, because they aren't funny!

Are so!

hahaha

Poor DSW... don't worry, someone still loves you, somewhere.

see? someone's laughing!

Try an english speaking country or perhaps A translation office, with more ppl of his kind (word perfectionists, also called "miereneukers")




edited for the smart-ass lovers among us

Good rules

I think everything should be as clear as water right now

It's A translation office!

Smart-ass mode!



*is it not as clear as day? or is it bright as day? *

*as clear, like water


or crystal clear

And right as rain!

aye, that's it... crystal clear and as bright as day!

it's late, needing my beauty sleep!

and as wet as.... ermmmm... never mind

damn, putting my brain to work for me and not against me (yes that happens sometimes )

made me tired, gonna get some sleep, really need it

night night then!

DSW -> Wet as the floor near the toilet (and not as wet as that other thing, you where thinking off )

Maybe it would come in handy if somebody was to open a topic where Dutch people could ask the right fitting translation in English for some of the rather strange things they say in some situations?!

Forgive me for my English if it's not correctly written, I haven't been using it regularly

well, from the bitch, why don't you open that topic?


lets intergrate the english ppl in the dutch language and the other way around

Aw geez... Pamela Anderson tried stand-up peeing in my bathroom again??

I dunno, maybe you aimed at the wrong hole in the ground?

DSW doesn't have a fly in his bog to aim at?
