I'm in favor of less rules but this would be a good rule of thumb. That's if we have enough people to start these things much less participate in them. Game threads are basically garbage anyway

As a person who can’t watch the games I would appreciate it if pet nicknames were explained (who is Zimmo?) and also a little more detail when something happens, besides
‘Blerp’ or ‘Wowee’ or the like.

Reading through them can sometimes be less than helpful though honestly they also read like a bunch of people watching a game together and making comments, sure.

Just my two cents since we’re all grouchy anyway

Zimmo refers to a remark from Fred Wilpon. It was post-Madoff and he had retreated from the press but couldn't resist lying about how well the Wilpons were doing financially, saying they were getting rich because the real estate market was "Zimmo!"

I didn't mean to impugn all game threads. For epic games with many participating they can be fun in the moment (you never know when they are though). But the nature of it, texting and watching at the same time, doesn't leave much to discussion and instead a lot of two-word remarks.
