I am knackered and almost dozed off while waiting for midnight to hit. I probably would've asked someone else to do the DT, but the washing machine finished at 11:49 and I needed to transfer the stuff to the dryer for today, so it wouldn't have made much different. Gotta be up at 8 sharp. I think in 24 hours I can go commence a long sleep with a bonus sleep in
I don't want to be too strict about the timing of the new daily, it's just that when people started getting earlier and earlier, we ended up having multiple and it was hard to choose which one to delete and which to keep.
I'd like to hear some feedback about what rule we should implement, that way we can avoid making people stay up unnecessarily.
I'm open to whatever is preferred by the community.
I really don't care. Even a few hours off, whatever. I don't think our little community needs rules about these things. Someone gets up at 5am and there's no thread, just make one. No worries, easy peasy.
This is the rational way
I prefer a thread to be late than to be hours early.
No one should have to stay up, just do the thread if it's convenient at that time.
I'd also prefer late to early, but it doesn't matter too much
Probably the most important thing is that it is created by someone on an Auzzie Zone account, there is often a bit of lag between different instances that means posts don't show up straight away, leading to more likelihood of duplicates.
I prefer late than early. A couple of mins early, although not something I'd want to do myself, is fine if that better suits whoever's posting. But in general I'd prefer half an hour late to early. And yeah, I think hours early are ridiculous
As I said, it's all good. I would've only netted 10 extra minutes of sleep because I was waiting for the washing machine to finish. And my weirdness about only posting at or after 12 is a me thing, nothing to do with you
You're doing fine mate
