Ya know, you'd think that'd be a fairly obvious answer, but I wouldn't bet money on it with some of the posters I've seen in GARM lately. A few of the other boards that I'm registered to have a user privilege rating system. If you just registered today, you are not allowed to start threads, just reply. After a certain amount of time and/or post counts, then you are able to start your own thread. 11) If you do post a picture, make sure it's not huge in size and/or resolution.
If you here a RUMOR, leave it at that, a RUMOR. Don't make it sound like it's going to happen. And when people start bashing you for it, don't result to talking smack because it would only make people hate you even more. It's like adding fuel to the fire.
If you make a thread, don't get mad when no one responds to it after a half hour and come back and lambast people for not responding to it. Let it ride. If no one responds, it probably sucked. Move on.
12) If you talk about a hot female, please include a quality picture, preferably one where they are a wearing a wet t-shirt.
13. If you agree with someone, great. Please don't bother to quote someone because you agree with them and then not add anything else. I've never seen this in the hangout, but I've seen it several times in the GARM. Example:
When a poster mentions a hot female in a post, such as Monica Sweetheart, and is unable to post a picture because he is at work, another posted should post a picture for him. Monica Sweetheart.
I hate it when people post whole articles just to focus on a small sentence in the article. Either just quote that one line and provide a link, or at the very least put it in bold...
1) Take one week to read the board and study the topics and thread titles so that you don't start a new thread on something that has been discussed every other day for the last 2 years (i.e. new uniforms). Also during this one week study session, take a good look at what threads are locked and ridiculed so you know what not to do. 2) Proofread your posts before you submit them 3) Never suggest that Vince Carter is about to become a Rocket! 4) Think reeeeeeeallll hard before you include the word "Trade" in your title 5) Don't start more than 1-2 threads a day 6) Learn that Realgm.com will be the devil on your shoulder when its time to post a trade 7) Post your pic with EXTREME CAUTION...it may end up hanging around a lot longer than you'd ever expect! 8) Please supply a link if you are going to extract information from an online article or radio show 9) When starting a new thread, distinguish opinion from fact. Posting that Steve Francis wants out of Houston according to such and such publication can be dangerous when all the article mentions is that Francis was unavailable for comment. 10) Re-read your message before posting. Speling and gramatical erors caan make U luk like an idiot in the i's of othurs, therby making U luk les credable. Also, make sure your post is adding something (... ANYTHING) to the conversation. Posts like "LOL" or "YOU SO KRAZY!" waste bandwidth. 11) Strive for quality posts. It just looks better and makes you seem somewhat intelligent. ("MacBeth" posting is strictly, strictly optional.) 12) If you do post a picture, make sure it's not huge in size and/or resolution 13) If you talk about a hot female, please include a quality picture, preferably one where they are a wearing a wet t-shirt. 14) If you agree with someone, great. Please don't bother to quote someone because you agree with them and then not add anything else. Asianboy, tell me exactly which one of these rules (besides #3, which is obviously a joke anyway) stops you from posting whatever opinion you happen to have. None of them in any way suggest that senior members are superior to junior members, either. CHILL OUT.
Drexlerfan22 - Agreed, wholeheartedly. Thanks for compiling those answers too.. I emailed Clutch to see if he thought this might be a good thing to present to new members (obviously once its been revised and reviewed by the Clutch Crew) so a compiled list will help determine if this is worthwhile. I was going to post his whole article but thankfully, I read BGM's post first!
I really don't care what people have to say... I like to read some of the old post. But if every one who post is going to get jump on how are you to find new blood for the stagnant BBS. Just think before you post should be the only requirement....
Stagnant? Uh, that smell is mostly from the overwhelming amount of crap I have to wade through in the GARM...
What are you talking about? We have PLENTY of new(er) guys who've made their marks here. Another Brother hasn't been here too terribly long. Omega Supreme is another one who adds value here. We've got plenty of new blood that you've apparently failed to notice. Mulder is exactly right.
I'm been looking for-damn-near-ever for a picture of her with her clothes on, or at least that was bbs-friendly. This is the only pic I could find of her with her clothes on and/or without her doing....um....stuff. She's quite a bad girl, and the picture doesn't do her justice, but here you go:
Nomar, seriously: I want you to fully appreciate my efforts here. I made it an obsessive mission to find a decent picture of her with clothes on. It was quite a challenge. Go see that you can find for yourself. Its a pain. And you're right: She's smoking hot.
