Bebo 21083 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-11-05, 11:19 AM (EST) "Welcome, new posters - PLEASE READ" LAST EDITED ON 05-11-05 AT 02:37 PM (EST) Wow, it's great to see all the new faces brought by the TAR finale. We hope you enjoy your stay and stick around. That being said, please take a moment to check out our Community Guidelines. Two things in particular to note: - Don't bash other posters. Never acceptable. - Don't start a new thread on a topic already being discussed. It doesn't matter whether you're just wanted to focus on a particular aspect, or whether you disagree with the opinion of the original poster. When in doubt, join an existing discussion before starting a new thread of your own. ETA: I know there are a lot of semantics on what constitutes a duplicate. But come on folks...there are a number of threads already open where the question is being asked if the show is fixed. Just because it doesn't show in the subject line - and just because the moderators don't take the extra time to point out every single one - doesn't mean they don't already exist.   Top

Swami 5885 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-11-05, 01:51 PM (EST) 4. "RE: Welcome, new posters - PLEASE READ" Reading. Bumping. Hearting Bebo. (Altho I think it's kind of fun when all heck breaks loose.)   Top

Coconut 10856 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-11-05, 02:30 PM (EST) 5. "RE: Welcome, new posters - PLEASE READ" I read "Humping Bebo." Well, what can you expect, Swami. It's you. *smooch* Coc au Flange-- Official Dish of the Phoquetard Inquisitorial Squad *bumpity bump*   Top

Dizwiz 2699 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Survivor-themed Cruise Spokesperson" 05-11-05, 02:57 PM (EST) 6. "Is there any way.." ...to make this thread blink or something? Because some of these newbies just. aren't. getting. it.   Top

mrc 10113 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-11-05, 03:04 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Is there any way.." I nominate you to bump this thread. A Nefarious Dice Creation   Top

Bebo 21083 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-11-05, 04:04 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Is there any way.." Did you know that there are actually message boards that don't even allow you to use the word "fixed" in a post about their shows? Or "rigged"? Your post is filtered out and rejected before you even hit send, and you have to modify the message before it will be posted. You also can't say "sucked" on the one I'm thinking of.   Top

BriarRosie 990 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Fitness Correspondent" 05-11-05, 07:43 PM (EST) 9. "RE: Is there any way.." Heheh. They're keeping you on your toes! But geez, that type of moderation you described...er...sucks. For lack of a better term. Most moderated groups I've been on (or moderated) don't tolerate flame wars and bashing others. Thank gawd. But my dream: the death of kidiot ransom note writing styles.   Top

Jealousy 109 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 05-11-05, 09:09 PM (EST) 13. "RE: Is there any way.." I think the one you're thinking of is the one I'm thinking of. You can't (heaven forbid) even say The Amazing Race on that board without it forcing you to edit your post. And sure, it's not an Amazing Race board but they do have an Off Topic area. It's just unbelievable about what they censor.   Top

RBA 129 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 05-11-05, 08:17 PM (EST) 10. "RE: Welcome, new posters - PLEASE READ" Yes, but why is this only addressed to "new" posters? I have seen a lot of old timers berate us newcomers. Many post crap like, "This must be the first time you have watched the Amazing Race or else you would know by now...." Just because we are new, does not mean this is the first time we seen the series. And posting on a bulletin board for several months does not make them the expert in all matters. Some of the old timers need a good reminder of the rules.   Top

Spidey 6259 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-11-05, 08:29 PM (EST) 11. "RE: Welcome, new posters - PLEASE READ" A lot of long-time posters, and many new ones too I would suspect, get frustrated when a whole lot of new people rush the board without knowing how it works around here. Duplicate threads all over the place, people bringing up things as "news" which have been long discussed here, etc. It happens. People get excited and want to share their emotions. And that's why Bebo had to create this thread. Since "old timers" know the rules (even though some break them), the thread was intended for NEW posters, to make them feel welcome and know how to fit in and follow the rules to make this fun for everyone. If you have a problem with a specific post, direct you comments to a mod via PM.   Top

anotherkim 14420 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-11-05, 09:00 PM (EST) 12. "RE: Welcome, new posters - PLEASE READ" If you have to ask that question, hon, you are new and need to read this thread.   Top

Bebo 21083 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-11-05, 10:58 PM (EST) 14. "RE: Welcome, new posters - PLEASE READ" RBA, if you think any poster, regardless of the number of posts, is behaving inappropriately, then please alert the moderators. Most of the actions taken today on the forums have been the result of posters letting moderators know that violations have been occurring. There's an alert link in every post, and clicking on it takes you to the forum. If you send us an alert, we'll look into it and act accordingly. And we will discpline posters regardless of their post count. Folks who've been posting here for awhile can attest that some long-term posters who refused to comply with the guidelines have been banned.   Top

cahaya 19891 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 05-15-05, 02:22 AM (EST) 19. "RE: Welcome, new posters - PLEASE READ" Hey, there isn't a better TAR board in existence. I'm a relative newbie and I'm lovin' it here. Another bump in the night.   Top

mikey 1150 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Politically Incorrect Guest" 09-21-05, 02:00 PM (EST) 23. "What about the children?" Question for this edition -- bashing of contestants is generally considered fair game -- but have there been children (as young as 8) contestants on other shows covered by these boards before? Is bashing them off-limits?   Top

Pamisue 57 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 09-21-05, 02:16 PM (EST) 24. "RE: What about the children?" If they act like brats they are fair game in my book. I would not however post personal info like things to do with appearance d/t kids are very sensitive and I will not be a part of hurting a child. Remember, alot of kid's are acting how they are taught @ home by their parents and peers. I'm not saying to put all blame on parents just where it appears to be due.   Top

Bebo 21083 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-22-05, 08:52 AM (EST) 25. "Good question" There's no specific guidelines requiring that children on reality shows be treated differently than the other participants. There are a number of shows discussed on these forums that significantly feature children, and we haven't had a problem so far with how posters have commented on the children so far. For now, we'll trust in the good judgment of our posters in how the children will be discussed, since that's worked on other show discussions so far. But if we need to readdress this during the season, we will.   Top
