Posted by Angelfood on 11-11-03 at 00:23 AM
Please read the titles on this page. If there is one with a topic already, do not start a new post. this is in our guidelines under "Duplicate posts". I admire your opinions and support for the guys already, but we like to have neat and orderly conversations, not just one opinion per thread. and some threads may get locked. Don't think you are being turned away, just take a minute to get read our posts first and get familiar with the s.o.p. here. I personally feel, if you haven't read my recent posts, why should I read yours?

Ex: IF there is a post with anything "Zach" (or any other guy) in the title, please REPLY to that post. We'll still notice it, ok? THERE are already 2 on Dennis and Tareq.

Also, there are some spoilers in threads below, so be warned.

... because people are still not getting the message.

Read. Read some more. If you're sure the topic hasn't already been discussed, then go ahead and post.

There's TOO MANY duplicate threads where the post could easily go under a thread that's already open -- keeping relevant posts together in one thread will stimulate a good discussion, but breaking them up into separate threads will make it hard to follow and nobody will reply to your posts. Take a look and see how many one or two reply threads there are.

"Guidelines"
Posted by Drive My Car on 11-11-03 at 07:31 AM
The rules and guide for this site are linked at the very top of the page.

Find them here.


http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID33/87.shtml

This is a community that appreciates fresh voices, we are glad to have new people posting with us, please read the rules.

It is very hard to discuss the show if there are several postings on the same topic.

Welcome

ANGELFOOD...HELLO. Thanks for that. I really am gettting irritated at all the one liners getting posted, I thought this site was pretty regulated here but from the looks of the forum, it's not going so hot.

"Zach is such a cutie"

Tariq and Zach's Mom's are here"

etc...etc...etc...

NO offense to the newbies, your opinion matters...BUT LET'S STAY WITH THE GUIDELINES HERE. I don't like to go through ten identical threads.

Where my hero BEBO with the handcuffs to lock all this nonsense!

Posted by Bebo on 11-11-03 at 10:46 AM
1. We have guidelines here. Reader's Digest version:

We bash contestants, not each other.

Don't start duplicate threads.

Label spoilers so that folks who want to avoid them can.

Follow these guidelines, all will be well. Don't follow them, and your stay here will probably be shorter than you'd like.


2. Everyone is welcome here, whether you're making your first post or are a certifiable DAW. (Psst...wanna know what a DAW is? Check out the Help Forum. The Help Forum has quite a bit of useful information.)


3. Having a personal issue with another poster? The rest of us don't care. We're here to talk about Average Joe. That's what private messages and email are for.


4. Did I mention we bash contestants here? So if one of your friends, or your latest crush, is a contestant on the show, please keep that in mind.

5. Have fun!

We really do have guidelines here. Believe it or not, the Guidelines make things more fun. Really.

"One more thing..."
Posted by Bebo on 11-11-03 at 03:26 PM
If you see a post violating the guidelines, please hit the Alert button and let the moderators handle things, as specified in the "Help Prevent Forest Fires" section.

We really do have guidelines here. But don't make me tattoo them across my forehead, peeps.

this has probably been suggested before but, if possible it would be a good idea to electronically restrict the posting of new threads to only those with 20+ posts.
"RE: Welcome newbies"
Posted by PepeLePew13 on 11-13-03 at 07:05 AM
I'm leaning more and more towards thinking this is an EXCELLENT idea to restrict new threads from being started by those with less than 20 posts. It's becoming nauseating seeing all the fangirl (and fanboy) threads.

All these fangirl threads are doing is to push the good and useful threads down onto page two.

Posted by Angelfood on 11-19-03 at 00:11 AM
If anyone taped the show, and/or would like to fill me in or help me with the summary, please let me know. I only caught most of it (station storm watches), and am doomed to have this be my summary week.
thanks peeps.

I believe I still have the tape of the show, so I could help fill in any gaps if you need it.

Tareq needs to be bashed mercilessly, make sure you really carve him up in your summary... please?

Oh, and yet another bump because there are some people out there who just don't get it and keep opening up redundant threads. Grrrrrrr.

Thanx TL and Pepe
I'm missing alot. I can't bash Tareq when I missed it. I know he threw his golf club, that's about it. I missed the whole Brad date, until the end of the limo ride. And some of the elim. Stupid Tornado Watch, 3 times in 1 hour!!!

Yes, unless you'd like to take this ep., Please fill me in on those parts.

Personal attacks on other posters is not allowed. It's the quickest way to get banned.

And just because someone puts the bait out doesn't mean others need to take it. All kidding aside, leave the moderating to the moderators.

...newcomers, please read read read first before posting! Post on an existing thread!

There's no reason whatsoever for having so many new threads on the exact same topic -- it just exposes what short attention spans y'all have.

All these inane threads this morning have just dragged the numbness factor to a new low, and I've seen some pretty mind-numbing moments in my three years here (hello, Love Cruise).

It's one thing to welcome newbies, but don't scare them off with Average Joe 2: The Revenge.

*rolls eyes* The first one was so uplifting that I'd like to offer my rendition of the last scene, starring the Reality TV World Players:

Mindlessa: Adam, we've been so close. You make me laugh, you have ambition and I know that you really care about me.
Adam: So this means . . .
Mindlessa: Of course, silly. I chose the cute guy who lives with mommy and daddy. Be gone! Off to the bus with you!

Can't wait for Hawa'ii.


So glad I didn't design a AJ sig pic

If you follow the threading, silly, you'd know that it is your (read RollDdice) sig pic that I am *hearting.* You are soooo funny and sooooo talented. I wish I could make my own, but I'm graphically challenged.

I think you should do a New Years one...something Vegas-esque with a handle like yours. Until January, there really isn't anything besides the Survivor finale to look forward to.

Thank you for the kind words. Your New Years suggestion is a great one. And I'd better get hopping, because Survivor is coming to a close.

I use the dice to represent the manipulative "rules" of most reality shows, and that's not likely to change in 2004.
