No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

How is it different than the traditional use of the word? In the US there are different types of porches, open porches, enclosed porches. What do you mean exactly?
I don’t think I’ve seen an enclosed porch in Europe, but they are common in the US northern midwest. My first guess might be because of the weather, but it snows in both regions. Also I try jink Europeans are more used to not having screens. (The enclosed porch is usually enclosed in screens.)
I assume that is what you are talking about. Otherwise I have no idea.
