    New posting rule; a proposition

    Read this and tell me it doesn't at least bring a smirk to your face:

    You can't, can you?

    So, in that light, I propose the following rule:

    All posts made in reply to or otherwise immediately following a post that does not contain an analogy, must contain an analogy pertinent to the topic of the post.

    I propose this rule in an effort to bring more smirks to more faces, and to bring a generally more positive attitude to the forum. The process by which I hypothesize this will work is three fold:
    1. Creating posts will require more effort on the part of the poster, as concocting clever analogies is not always a simple task. This should correlate with the content of the whole post receiving more attention and thought, thereby creating better, more meaningful content overall.
    2. Upon reading the analogies, as well as the generally better structured and well thought out posts, readers will receive a better sense of enjoyment and fulfillment, which will not only brighten their day and daily lives, but will also inspire them to reciprocate.
    3. Lastly, users will actively seek out thoughtful and humorous analogies, championing them in their signatures as a constant reminder for all to see.


    The specifics could be tweaked; perhaps every other post is a bit much to demand. I chose it as it was easy to describe concretely and in simple terms.

          I see the point, but its not happening. There are a lot of different kinds of people in this forum too. Although I didn't smile/lol at the analogy, maybe others did.

              ^That's what she said.

              I do agree though.

                    But then I wouldn't have a thing! I wouldn't be unique!
                    Plus, nobody will EVER top my clutch/condom analogy!

                      This makes as much sense as a screen door in a submarine.

                        It WOULD be funny to see what some people come up with... but it's not as fun if it's forced.

                            Whew, more replies.

                            I've gotta say, this is not at all the response I was expecting. I really didn't expect anyone to take me serious. Apparently I presented too good of an argument, .

                            No, I don't think this is a good idea; I wouldn't condone it actually being a rule. I think it would be interesting to see what some folks came up with, no doubt, and I think the "three fold" lineup has some weight to it.

                            I love Deev's analogies; they really do make my day sometimes.
