If there was a DU forum etiquette guide...

[Endangered Specie]

what entries would you like to see?


Some things I could think of:

-Regularly check your "My Posts" page to see if anyone has replied to something of yours.

-If you can, use the search feature to check for duplicate posts, if not that, scan the first 2 or 3 pages using your browsers search function.

1. "Challenge the post, not the poster"

Manners. Yes, please, thank you, no thank you. For some, a lost art.

[Endangered Specie]

2. "Challenge the post, not the poster, please"

;)

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

3. There you go. I'm just an animal.

:evilgrin:

Oh, by the way..."Thank you."

:evilgrin:

[Endangered Specie]

4. Your welcome

;)

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

6. Please also notice I checked "My Posts" and politely replied to you

...Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Bush_Eats_Beef

:evilgrin:

[Endangered Specie]

13. And a "Your welcome" to you in advance...

I think, im confused now ;)

[MichaelHarris]

5. I would like to see

a more welcome environment. I understand that new people could end up being disrupter's but we should still extend a welcome hand. Its hard to break into the "cliques" here, heck I've been trying for almost 2000 posts and still feel like an outsider. Give the newbies a chance, if they are true Dem's then you have a new friend, if they turn out to be disrupter's then you get to see Skinner kick um in the nutz.

[Endangered Specie]

7. I can see your point,

I felt about the same till about 3000 posts or so.

:hi:

[MichaelHarris]

8. sometimes

I find a popular poster and try to kinda kid around with him or her in a thread, like a recent post I did. That went over like lead duck, I got smacked down. Guess I'm trying to hard.

[mrboba1]

10. Don't forget your smilies!!!

:silly:
:evilgrin:
:crazy:
:D
:P

they always help!!

[mrboba1]

11. p.s. your sig line is gross.

:P

[MichaelHarris]

14. When that

kid in the movie Goonies told the story that is my sig line it cracked me up. If you've never seen it, its a great movie.

[mrboba1]

15. That was in a movie?

No - I haven't seen it...

[MichaelHarris]

16. yes

the movie is called "The Goonies" kind of a kids movie but real funny, especially the kid they call Chunk.

[mrboba1]

19. I'll just watch it with my son

that's the best excuse for seeing a kids' movie/tv show.

"Oh, well, my kids watch it - it was just on"

:D

[MichaelHarris]

24. LOl

thats a good plan, if the neighbor guys show up you have an "out"

[Endangered Specie]

12. Im sorry about your bad experiences here on DU

Dont let those keep you down, most DUers are pretty nice.

:pals:

[MichaelHarris]

17. I don't but

sometimes I feel like an outsider looking in. There are alot of good people here, then there's Matcom. kidding :)

[mrboba1]

20. Alls you gotta do is make fun

of LynneSin's carpet.

And antagonize whoisalhedges.

:evilgrin:

[MichaelHarris]

25. I saw the

carpet thread and replied in it. I'm off all, the day is shaping up to be nice and I have a saiboat to finish. Either that or lay on the couch. Have a nice day all, and thanks :)

[mrboba1]

28. b'bye!!!

:hi:

[Jo March]

34. I feel the same way

Most of my posts end up killing the entire thread. Sucks, really.

[Red State Rebel]

9. We need a Drool Rule

If you post a thread drooling over a celebrity, athelete, etc. you must post a picture of said droolee so the rest of the lounge can determine whether you are sane, blind or have excellent taste.

Thanks :)

[Screaming Lord Byron]

18. Don't mess with the spam filter.

It is devoted to its duties.

[mrboba1]

21. what happened???

I saw you list of kicks and then people talking about you.

???

[Screaming Lord Byron]

22. I had a near death experience.

My copycat thread had had more responses than Paragon's original, so I tried to rectify that. Apparently there's a spam filter. I kicked myself to death.

[mrboba1]

27. was it scary?!

Did you see a light??

:scared:

[Screaming Lord Byron]

29. I was someone else for a moment.

But I'm back! Back I tell you.
And I won't waste my second chance on copycatting and nonsense posts. Oh no.

[mrboba1]

30. .

And I won't waste my second chance on copycatting and nonsense posts.

So it's an either/or situation - just not both?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

31. No, It's just a bare-faced lie.

Obviously.

[mrboba1]

32. well, DUh!

:D

[Endangered Specie]

37. That happened to me once too...

I was going to "AK-47" the "thread that would never die thread" by posting bang thirty times... TBed!

[Myrina]

23. Scan at least 2 pages of the forum before you post...

The dupe and trip threads around here lately are maddening !! :freak:

[jus_the_facts]

26. and TRY not to pick nits too often.....

....it's oppressive! :evilgrin:

[skypilot]

33. If someone starts a thread about something...

...that you have no interest in, like a "reality show" for example, don't go into the thread and piss all over it with comments about how stupid people are for watching a reality show. If you're not a fan of what is being discussed in the thread, please don't dump on the people who are.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

35. How dare you limit my freedom to post where I want. How dare you!

:evilgrin:

[skypilot]

36. Don't YOU start!!!!

:spank:
