Hey #CopChatters!
This weeks #CopChat is going to be relaxed and fun. Nothing serious. No big ticket issues…just a little time to let your hair down and relive some memories and think about things that make you smile.
Let’s talk about our favorites.
Favorite movies, favorite songs and favorite TV shows where the police are the theme.
Let’s get everyone getting a little nostalgic or a little old school.
It will be the same format as other weeks…I’ll throw out the questions and you respond with your answers and then we all let the discussions happen. Everyone gets their say why Heat is a better movie than Lethal Weapon or why Beer for my Horses makes you dance more than I fought the Law. But no talk about the band ‘The Police”…that’s just mean.
Let’s be careful out there
Hope to see you all taking part on Wednesday, September 24th at 9pm ET / 6pm PT.
What are the #CopChat “rules”?
There are no ‘rules’ but we want this to be a good experience for everyone so here are some ideas to help.
-
This isn’t FghtClub.
- If you have a blog, website or social channel that you want to share, please do so at the beginning…but we’ll ask that you don’t do any selling of products or services. This chat is for discussion not sales. If you would like to sponsor a chat or promote your product, email me. ( timburrows1266@gmail.com )
- There is no insulting, bullying or swearing. If someone says something that you don’t agree with, respectfully say so and have a discussion. That is what this is all about…learning and sharing.
- If a subject presents itself that you may have written a piece for feel free to share at the end of the chat using the hashtag. Depending on the speed of the chat it could get lost in the stream during the middle of it and you’re less likely to get clicks during the chat.
- If someone tweets something that you feel compelled to RT, do it! But, make it even better by adding your own flavour to it, or conversely, if you disagree, say so and provide the reason why.
- If someone disagrees with your position take the criticism professionally…no twitter fights. It won’t serve anyone with any value. Take it out of the chat and have your fight without the hashtag. No one wants to see children fight…we want to see adults chat.
- Finally…no tweet longer apps. Keep it under 140, no one wants to be clicking links to see the rest of your tweet. It will take people out of the conversation and probably get ignored anyways.
- Abuse – if you choose to abuse the forum you will be blocked / muted and really what will that accomplish. We are all here to learn from each other. If you don’t like the police then say so respectfully…who knows, you might have a valid point but if it’s expressed poorly, no one will ever learn from it.
How to follow along.
Naturally, the easiest way is by using the hashtag… #CopChat
Using a dashboard platform like You will want to use TweetDeck / Hootsuite / TweetChat / Twubs etc, to follow the #CopChat. You may also want create streams to follow @t_burrows and who ever may be co-hosting. Make sure you watch your own mentions stream so you don’t miss anything someone says to you.
