Hello peeps

Scraplet · Post by **Scraplet** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 12:26 am

Just thought I say hello. I've been prowling around this board for a few weeks without saying much - starting to feel like some kind of pervy peeping tom listening to other peoples convesations!! Didn't feel like just barging in straight away

Its all new to new to me - only been online a couple of months - and I've been trying to figure the etiquet (don't want to step on anyone toes this early in the day), but I'm not sure there is any! Let me know if I'm missing something.

Ah well, between this site and Ebay (replacing all my battered, old TF comics!) I'm wasting huge amounts of time I didn't know I had in my day to waste.

Anyway - if I start nebbing-in you know who I am now. I'm off to stroke my latest batch of shiney e-bayed marvel uk TF (I cut the covers off all of mine when I was 9 to stick them on my wall - stoopid!)

1) Be courteous and respectful of others opinions
2) Don't try and pass off opinion as fact
3) Write in full sentences, not txt spk, if you want to be taken seriously
4) Ignore Computron

That's pretty much it as far as "etiquette" around here goes. Actually, that's rubbish because there's plenty of folks around here who do all that anyway... b'ah.

Do ignore Compy, though.

Welcome.

Greetings!

As far as board ettiquete goes, the only things that will get you banned are sexism, racism, homophobia, genocide, wanking, mentioning wanking, looking at Besty in a funny way, trolling, flaming, impersonating a flaming troll, creating needless alt-IDs, creating pointless spam threads, writing lists of things that will get you banned, trying to take over the board or posting links to porn.

Unless it's really good porn. Or goatse.

The last time that happened the poster in question was only given a warning, not banned.

Obfleur · Post by **Obfleur** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 9:57 am

Goatse is really appreciated.
Especially if you are able to pull one of yourself.

I myself am not there yet - but I will be. It's just a matter of patience.

Yes, but the warning was "Duck!"

And definitely no creating a needless alt. ID to look at Besty in a funny way while posting some trolling in a spam thread consisting of writing lists of things that will get you banned to take over the board to do some wanking. Not only would that be nasty, it would just be nasty.

Erm, yeah... welcome...

Okaaaay.....whats Goatse? (I am being very naive?)

All other pointers duly noted - coffee, cake and really good porn are all high on my agenda

'No genocide' - is this a preventative measure, or have you had a problem with budding tyrannical maniacs before?

Does wanting the Throttlebots wipped-out count?

Someones gonna have to tell me how to use the 'Quote' dooflip properly!

....And yes, Marvel UK is where I started and is still my favourite.....

You do not want to know what goatse is.

To the top-right of each post is a button marked "quote" which will do it automatically for ya. All you need do is just delete/edit/forge the text that you want to quote (or don't want to quote, in the case of the deleting bit).

Alternatively, you can just type quote="name of the quotee" then the text you want and then /quote. Remembering to put the bits I've bolded inside the square parenthesis [ ].

Give it a go!
