For no discernible reason, posts to this category are most often the work of newbies, whose ideas usually run along the lines of: "My [male] genitals look like a turkey drumstick if I pull on them and look into a mirror at the same time".

Posting anything to this category launches a popup, showing the Help File and [krelnik]'s Be Kind To Newbies Day website, or whatever it is.

It might help to moderate the moderators' moderation effort, moderately?

       Oddly enough I've only seen two posts on that topic, and [UB]'s been the author to both.   

       I don't like the idea of popups if for no other reason than the latest windows update allows you to block them. But bringing you to a page that has those links isn't a bad idea.

       Shouldn't this be in other: [general]?

       [World], late one night a few years ago there was a troll who kept going on about this cool thing he'd discovered about his (presumably recently surgically added) genitals. [bristolz] removed the idea and the user after he got a little too excited.   

       I think the idea he posted was called Chicken Leg, or Chicken Drumstick. It was pretty bad... enough that it has stuck with me for years. [bris] may remember it, too.

       Heh. That's great and terrible at once.
—Worldgineer, Oct 07 2004
   

       As in "Oz, The Gweat & Tewwible"?   

       I recently installed a popup blocker on my notebook, not realising it would stop a popup app on one of my own websites. Doh!

       Hey UB, well now my feelings are hurt, my Creature Scratcher was moved to Other:General, and I have no idea why. isn't it a product?
—dentworth, Oct 07 2004
   

       I vaguely recall that there was once a bug that moved ideas to Other:General. Since we're looking at an old copy of the software, maybe it's back? I can't recall the timeframe nor whether it was discovered or introduced at that time.   

       I think it unlikely that an admin would have moved it there.
—half, Oct 07 2004
   

       Yeah, that bug had something to do with hitting new in a certain context, or perhaps editing your own idea after posting. Other: general would get selected in the category list box instead of the correct existing category context.
—krelnik, Oct 07 2004
   

       Thanks [Half] I moved it back, let's see if it stays put.

       You mean, Pan Galactic right. I really can't stand those Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters, so often times I will order myself a Virgin Galactic.
—sartep, Oct 08 2004
   

       Inter, Pan, All-encompassing, Catholic... whatever.   

       Actually, Catholicgalactic sounds pretty cool.
