i am quite new here

Recommended Posts

however, i do have some bulletin board experience. i know that at least on the other board that i visit announcing that you're a newbie something akin to an abortion, and i'm certainly hoping that the same is not true for this board. i was recommended this board by rick trimble (or lord trasher as you guys would know him). he seems to think that i would like you guys and that we share a sense of humour or something.
now, is there anywhere that i can get a kind of 'unofficial TOS' kinda thing going on?

Big parts of the FAQ suck. Unprofessionally written.

Well duh! Do you think he could afford to have a professional write it? Who do you suggest? Stephen King?

My servants can smell the FAQ's blood...

It's very difficult even for professionals to write good guidelines. They tend to get written bit by bit over time and contradictions and other gibberish inevitably creep in.

Unprofessional in style, not origin.

If you look at a FAQ written by for example Linguica, you can tell the difference. (This isn't an attempt to kiss ass, btw.)

Written by for example and Linguica? Or is for example Linguica his full name?

I guess I should have added two commas.

BBG and RailGunner wrote the thing. You get what you pay for. =P


I wrote the FAQ, I HELPED with the /newstuff FAQ. Railgunner had nothing to do with the primary FAQ.

My only issue with the FAQ is the use of the phrase "ghetto speak"

From the FAQ:
Please do not post in ghetto talk, ha><0r lingo or in CrAZy CApS. It makes your posts hard to read and you should remeber that not all of the users speak English as their first language so it may confuse them as well.


I think there should be a better defenition for it.

What? Don't talk like that or everyone will flame you for being retarded? Bah, my FAQ isn't perfect but it certainly isn't bad.

No, I mean some examples of words and phrases that are unnacceptable. Not everyone shares the same defenition. Im not asking for you to update the FAQ or anything though, just pointing it out.

"Ghetto Speak" - See "Esco". Includes liberal use of "Dawg" "Mah Man" and other phrases commonly used by black men who talk to a crap backing beat about shooting cops, when they've probably never even seen a gun before.
