Forum Behavior Guide

[Artoomis]

Recent behavoir by some folks has led me to start this thread, which I hope is not really needed, but I'll do it anyway.

Proper behavior on these forums is to be polite, respectful, and avoid inflammatory language or insults.

If you DO get insulted - let it go. DO not return insult for insult, for that way lies madness.

Yeah, I need to learn to let it go. When I'm bored with nothing to do I think I just start bickering for no better reason than to find something to do....and then I start to go mad

Yeah, I think boredom is my primary reason too. Well, ok, that and I hate backing down from a fight.

That and people making jokes that others can't tell are really jokes. Actually, I found this to be the most polite message board I've ever been to. So, take that as either this is a really good message board, or that all others are really bad if this is the best!

In general, yes, this isn't too bad of a forum, though I think the gonegold forums are perhaps the best I've ever seen.

The thing about people not taking jokes as jokes is true, but it is sometimes hard to tell if someone is joking. Without hearing someone's tone of voice and seeing their body language it is often difficult if they are joking with you or seriously mocking you, and a smiley face doesn't always mean it's a joke unfortunately.
