2015.06.20 Morning Coffee: Intruder Alert, Book Club, and Your Weekend Plans

Morning Coffee is a user-created discussion series where Snapzu members can check in with each other in a relaxed environment.
We are experimenting with different formats and ideas, so feedback is very welcome!

Snapzites! Hopefully everyone is having a great [time-in-your-region].

Yesterday there was an interesting occurrence: a newborn user spammed the site with downvotes, reminding us of what we've been missing in our community. First of all, congratulations to everyone on the remarkably cordial atmosphere we find ourselves in — it really says something when a naughty user stands out so much. Secondly, let's all high five Team Snapzu for their quick response, which has resulted in new downvote rules.

If you enjoy reading or would like to enjoy it, stop by /t/books for the new Monthly Book Reading & Discussion series. Right now you can submit suggestions for next month's nonfiction and fiction book choices. Please read the topic to fully understand the process.

Finally, what does your weekend look like?

    Yes, please join us in preparation for the monthly book reading & discussion by recommending a book or two at the Monthly Book Reading - Accepting Recommendations for July 2015 thread. The more books we have up for recommendation the better the next step will be where we can vote on the most up voted non-fiction and fiction book. Reading begins on the 1st of July and discussion will start on the 25th of that month! Really excited to see everyone there!

    This weekend will finally be a little less eventful! Will grill up some meet, have a few beers and relax with some friends. Been looking forward to such a weekend for the past month :)

    Morning everyone! I'm meeting up with a friend for lunch, in the afternoon he's getting his first tattoo! His tattoo artist is the author of a book I'm currently reading (and a friend) and I'll ask her to draw a little something as an autograph :)
    For the evening I can see alcohol and dancing as the main events.
    Tomorrow I will be shopping, looking for a nice dress to wear at work on Monday (we have important people coming over, I want to look cool) and I'll be looking for a birthday gift for my boyfriend.

      Never got a tattoo. I'm allergic to some dyes,so the thought of injecting dye under my skin is not a good idea. shudders

        I've got a few, but if I were allergic to dyes I would never get one!

    Morning :D Wife's still asleep, and I'm up playing with our son. We've got a kids' birthday at the lake today, so we get to see our son play at the pond for the first time. And then I have work on Sunday (forgot to ask for it off)

    I've been playing a ton of Wildstar and Alien: Isolation. Both are superb games. I also grabbed Among The Sleep, and I'm super excited to play that.

      Sounds like a pretty good day today - sorry about having to work tomorrow :(

      I haven't played any games this weekend - been too busy trying to worm my way into the community here :)

      Among the sleep likes like something I would enjoy playing too. Might pick this up.

      Making memories :')

      My Steam sale process: drool, add games to wishlist, try to decide what to buy, open up game library, tremble at number of unplayed titles, close Steam, sigh, go outside and ponder life.

      Maybe someday I will actually play something.

    Wondered why I woke up to so many downvotes. Glad the perp has been dealt with. In Cincinnati for a graduation party. As a bribe to make me go my wife said we can visit the USAF museum at Wright Patterson AFB on the way back. :)

    Not quite the morning anymore, but there was no wifi where I was this morning.

    Hello everyone! Nice to see the admins deal with this problem so quickly and aptly.

    My weekend will be spent working on a videogame and going for a sail with my father for Father's day.

    Already dropped a foster kitten off at a vet appointment, nothing else to do except bills and taking my wife to work.

    Yeah, Team Snapzu did a great job of identifying the issue and coming up with a control quickly.

    My weekend will be pretty typical. Started this morning with mowing grass outside my wife's bakery and will continue later with helping clean up after a party at the same. Hopefully this evening will be more of a /t/caturday. Tomorrow holds a few Father's Day activities.

    Friends are in town from Croatia, so I'll be spending the weekend making stupid life choices with them. Just got done recovering from last night, ready to start the party again!

    I think limiting the down votes is an excellent idea. Taking a drive up later this afternoon to visit the inlaws for a bbq.

    Good afternoon. I've been wrapped up all day in homework and a game I'm trying out. I started playing Path Of Exile and it is quite fun.

    And a serial downvoter? What strange thing must be going on in their mind.

    Just watched Jurassic World! It was awesome!
