Public service announcement: BST/GMT and UK time

[Flimgoblin]

It's now british summer time - that means if you post your raid is at 7pm GMT (but actually mean 7pm UK time, which is 7pm BST) you'll have lots of confused people especially if they're not in the UK/CET timezones.

So, to make matter simpler: call it "UK time" - if you normally list in CET it's probably still fine to do so (as I don't think anyone bothers calling it anything different) however as GMT is used as a reference for people in other timezones (e.g. GMT+5) saying your raid is 2pm GMT when it's actually 2pm BST (GMT+1) means people get annoyed when they turn up an hour late and miss it all.

So, for everyone's sanity - list it as "UK time" or BST not "GMT".

indeed nerf posting at 2am. However this is more of an appeal to say "UK time" instead of BST or GMT, from what I read of your post it was just saying "clocks go forward".

I've cleaned this thread of the CET wibble and stuck it - I don't care about anyone's opinions about which timezone everyone should use - just list your raids as UK time if you normally say GMT.
