Okay, Rules Please

[vincious]

I\'m new to this forum. Usually on forums I tend to lurk because I reeeaaly just don\'t relish being bothered with mini-monster egos. Now, this time - because I like the wargaming hobby - I decided to be daring and post on a few subjects that caught my eye. I read the opinions posted and they seemed rather interesting.

I reviewed the rules and didn\'t find much of anything about statutes of limitations on a thread if you had something to post. Perhaps I misunderstood the forum rules but what I took away from it was pretty much if it\'s on the forum it\'s open for discussion. Just be respectful in your posts. No problem for me.

However, it seems there is actually is a statute of limitations on your rights to post opinions. And it would appear that I have transsgressed that law. For that I apologize. Could someone give me a direct timetable as to this unwritten rule of threadromancing or whatever the hell it is? I deeply do not wish to draw the ire of any more thread meisters.

And while on the subject, please alert me to any other \"rules of internet forum coolness\". I don\'t want to end up having people flame on me because they feel their \"sacred rules of forum popularity\" have been infracted, and then have a moderator penalize me when I defend myself.

Thanks,
Newbie (whatever the *^%& that\'s supposed to represent).

What happened????

SuperVike was just fooling with you, he\'s a nice guy. He sent me by a couple of his little women a month or two ago. I wouldn\'t sweat it.

Everyone here has been pretty nice, except for Shawn RL. He\'s a .....



oh, uhm, hi Shawn, didn\'t see you post on the thread... uhm... this is akward...

Bye the way, welcome to the club!

 

[vincious]

Thanks. I just didn\'t want to step on any toes or annoy anybody. I just saw some really interesting viewpoints on topics I could relate to. I\'ll try to keep up with the newer stuff more. If it\'s a subject I can speak more informed on.

newbie refers to the number of posts. Now you are a junior member - then you will become a member - then you will discover your life has somehow been taken over - then you will become a senior member - then you will become a very very sad individual etc etc lol

Vikey is one pot calling a teacup black. Master of thread necromancy is he.

You didn\'t transgress, you were meerly being pointed at. Major difference. Get Vike to take you to the freak bar and buy you an e-pint.

Welcome to the madhouse.

Yes, and I have been known as - - - lol - :flame: - :cussing: - :bouncy: depending on circumstances............

Welcome to the forums btw.

In all honesty, we can be a bitchy bunch. Most of the time its harmless.

Its just writing. I mean how much damage can the typed word really do.

There is probably no-one on this thread that I would class as a threat, even when they are flaming you they are pretty tame. Man Ive been called worse things just saying hello to someone.

Welcome to the forums and dont let people push you around. If they give you a nudge nudge em back, for most of us its the only form of exercise we get.

have a good one.

 

[supervike]

Oh so sorry!

I was really just fooling around, and just because the word \'moderator\' appears by my name, doesn\'t mean you have to listen to me....

The only real rules that I look for when moderating are name calling, racial slurs, things that really get heated, etc. etc. We kind of pride ourselves here to being \'self-moderated\'.

The Thread-o-mancy thing is just a joke, every once in a while, someone (this time its YOU!) will revive a long dead thread.

Feel free to do it anytime you\'d like, in fact, you can feel free to step on all my toes!!

Its just weird...you know, its been SOOO long that anyone has taken me seriously, I don\'t know how to react.

Vike - you evil nasty mod you.

V - welcome to the forums - like every one has said, this tends to be a pretty tounge in cheek kinda place so relax.

No one takes the mods that seriously - and really you havent seen fun until your thread get hijacked and works its way back to where you started from.

[Hoblit]

From what i read it appears you resurrected some old threads.

Don\'t sweat it. It seem to happen all the time.

Welcome to the forums.
