PLZ COULD U TAKE A LOOK AT THE GUIDE ENTRY THAT I HAVE WROTE I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL
THANX

Hi BB,

It certainly sounds a very welcoming place! The entry doesnt say whereabouts it is though.

A couple of things, whilst this entry is available to everybody anyway, if you wanted it to be edited for part of the Edited Guide it needs to follow the <./>writing-guidelines</.> for example it needs to be in the third person, (no me, I, we etc)

A good example of a similar type of edited entry is
A1000765 Pete's Eats, Snowdonia, Wales

If you have a look and see what you think. Equally if you like it just the way it is then that is fine too but wouldnt go into the Edited Guide.

But as i said it certainly made me fancy a

Mort

Alternatively, if the coffee house is a fictional place for hootoo residents to relax in, then that's also fine, but it doesn't need to become part of the edited guide.

People can visit it as it is, just like the foLDers arms and other such virtual meeting points. If that's the aim, could you take it out of Peer Review please? If you want help to do this I'm sure someone more guru-like will give you the link you need...

I also wouldn't get too optimistic about having only women drop around to make conversation. By its very nature, h2g2 doesn't encourage discrimination against anyone, regardless of sex, orientation, age etc. It's a public forum, and attempts to colonise it for one's own purposes will *not* go down well with the community, gay, bi, het, male or female.

If you've created a new meeting place for hootooers, the best place for advertising it is Ask h2g2 - Peer Review is not the right forum for this kind of entry.

And as FM pointed out, most of us here will respect your wishes to keep it as a place for women to meet and talk, but to discriminate against any h2g2 Researcher is not accepted here. Having said that, I doubt that it was your intention to try and ban men from the conversations

I'd like to know what the phrase '...FOR FEMALES ONLY' means, then

First you would have to work out who's male and who's female... It is the Internet after all...

Sprout

Quite so - and I'm still getting Researchers genders wrong, even Researchers I've known a good while

Shouldn't this be yikesed - it's an advert.

I doubt if it's an advert: everything is free, apparently.

So's the BBC.

So are you saying we shopuld yikes the beeb?

The whole BBCi site? Where's that button?

On the discrimination point, there is a chaps club somewhere on site. Perhaps this is just the female counterpart?

Sprout

Nope.

I mean just cos everything's free doesn't mean you should be allowed to plug it.

"there is a chaps club somewhere on site"

Well, I wouldn't join any club which would have me as a 'member'...

For example:

Please Vote Liberal at the next election

That ought to get pulled for being a political plug.

Does that mean I'd be 'standing' at the next election?
