Site Etiquette

Post by theraven1979 »

As you know I don't really have any rules for the site as we're all responsible adults however, recently standards have started to slip. There's a few things that are beginning to piss me (and other forum members) off at the moment:-

- People bumping their post count with replies consisting of no text just smileys - or "good evening" *yawn*. Dunno why people are so obsessed with their post count as there's no prize for the most posts or anything. I do encourage people to post regularly but let's have some text/input !

- DO A FUCKING SEARCH before posting something - There's about 6 years or something of posts on this site. Chances are someone will have already posted a topic about Rattus etc. I appreciate some of the archive topics are locked - Please pm me and I will open the topic. I will start deleting topics if people can't be bothered to do a search. We do have ongoing topics for Jokes, Songs, etc so don't start a new topic.

- Show some respect for each other. No point kicking off if you're bored/annoyed with someone then either ignore their posts or use a bit of tact when replying. Monkeyboy I believe you owe Luke an apology.

i "sometimes" just leave a smiley or somethin because if you havent got anything particuarly say, and you dont wanna seem like your ignoring someone, its just like a way of saying "i hear ya" "i agree" see what i mean?

I agree that MB owes young LJ a apology Jim,I detest bullying in any shape or form.As for politics in Forums,c'mon guys we are all adults here.Cyberspace spats are immature and futile,we agree to disagree sometimes.....we all love the best band in the world after all.

Only I used to get away with such verbal diawotsitsname, and only when the poster is/was called paolo. Apart from that, there is no need and no justification for such posts. Maybe MBOY can explain his outburst?
