Coded messages!
Edited on Sun Oct-02-05 01:15 PM by brainshrub
This morning I had a great idea. Is there some way we could post messages publicly on DU, but in code? An "insider-language", if you will, that only initiated DUers would understand. Experiment with that idea for a while. In time, I'm sure someone will think of a way to do it. Sending a message with a double-meaning would drive the trolls crazy! A few DUers have posted morse-code, and quick posts in obscure languages. Coded, that is not! Message posts should look like regular ones, but if you knew the key you'd translate the real meaning!

If I'm making any sense right now, then maybe you'd care to think of some ideas for a system yourself? You know that such a tool would be useful! Understand that, initially, it would take some time getting used to writing in this hypothetical code. (This idea wouldn't be for everyone.) Post war cryptology skills should not be necessary. A good eye, would be. Thumbsup to everyone who considers this idea! (Smilies might be part of the "code".)

12. It wouldn't get that bad.
Edited on Sun Oct-02-05 01:40 PM by brainshrub
Noone would have to be excluded. "Gets" is that the message-code could be called, because you'd have to "get" it. The "Gets" club would be the most egalitarian group of DUers ever! Code work can be fun. Yet, I don't think anyone has tried it formally for DU.

13. Darlin'? Step away from the keyboard.
Go for a walk. Have a snack (anything but popcorn). Breathe deeply. And then give careful reflection to what you are proposing here....
