RMM Message Board _ Shoot The Breeze _ New To These Boards?
Posted by: paybarraman Aug 3 2006, 10:46 PM
I'm not putting this up to be all high and mighty or obnoxious or pretentious. I'm posting this because earlier today I stomped a newbie's neck cause he posted a cock pic in a thread for girls and boobs (granted the thread he posted in was a repeat itself).
http://www.ratemymelons.com/chat/The_Dickthrob_Club-t964.html
When I came back tonight, the guy replied and said he was new and removed his pic and asked I post more civilly. To which I replied he was right.
BUT....I also mentioned that being new to a board is not an excuse for breaking the, albeit unsaid, board "etiquette". Many posters in the past have said in some way, shape or form, that when you start posting you should read through the board first. Read the topics and threads. Get a feel for the board and its members before just jumping in feet first. By doing this you can avoid people flaming you and ranting about you.
We have a lot of new people joining in from all over the world and while its great because we have lots of new people to meet, it's frustrating because the board is becoming filled with repetitive posts and threads. Right along with people falling all over each other to either flatter the ladies posting pics or just soliciting comments and ratings.
HEY, this may very well be a duplicate topic and I might/should get my ass chewed if it is - my only excuse is that my search feature doesn't work right; I just get "nothing found" and or "no new posts" when I try to use it.
Just my $.02 for what it's worth. Just keep in mind I've been hanging around here for a very long time.

Great post!!!
Yes it probably is a repeat. It probably is in the wrong thread. It is also true that people don't know what Frequently Asked Questions are.
Fuck it! I'm going to repost this cartoon mostly because maybe it will sink in if people see it enough

Pay I echo your post 100%. I tried creating a FAQ thread in the help section but it seems that since I have done so duplicate threads have been even more prevelant!
Might I suggest Comedy Merge this with the FAQ thread and have it posted and pinned for ALL to see in EVERY area/sub category on the boards!
A similar thing was done in the 411 section whereby John Freak pinned the 411 rules and largely they have been abided by so I see no reason as to why this would not work?

Very good idea Pay. Although at first the thought crossed my mind to razz you about a duplicate thread, but IMO this is worthy of duplication. I have posted my own thoughts regarding something to help http://www.ratemymelons.com/chat/index.php?showtopic=161&st=60&p=108622&#
Another thought I had was a possible tutorial through the FAQ's prior to being allowed to post on the board. I am a member at another board where that is a requirement. There is also a completely by invite and approval area after you reach a certain # of posts, the moderators of that board do the approval process and it's based on the merit of your posts.
Anyways, good thread Pay

All in good time.. Im almost finished moving and I will take care of all necessary merges and the new Newbie FAQ will be places above every section on the forum. Sorry for the delay guys and girls

Comedy , I can see the points on duplicate threads , all good points , but I can also see that were running off some of the new blood by some of the veterens going on power trips , it really doesn't matter to me one way or the other , Just saying , some of those Noobs might bring a hot girlfriend along , lets not choke them the first day out of the gate ....
AS long as your filling the FAQS can ya put something in there about not stalking others Cp was getting followed around and harrassed pretty bad here a while back I know she as well as all of us can handle ourselves but it is ridiculous to think that we al sit back and watch it happen ...
I guess the biggest thing is , we talk about etiquette and such but lets remember this is cyber space , its not like going to the neigberhood block party , or a AA mtg, or a church function and knowing what is expected ,I for one value everyones opinion . That is all .. Thanks

Good to hear Comedy... I think that should solve most of the problems. I don't think belicked's idea of a noob holding bay will be great, we still want people logging onto RMM we just want them to observe simple house rules and ettiquete

Good post pay!! And since I have somewhat know you for about a year I think this will make you smile.
Posted by: belicked6924 Aug 5 2006, 08:36 AM
It's not a holding area
It would be kind of similar to the "members only" forum theory

Thank you, Yes I can handle myself and am pretty good at it, but it does get pretty annoying when any post I make this person was there up my ass and than was allowed to make fun of any pictures I posted when that isn't even allowed on the main page. When ladies see that this is allowed to happen they aren't gonna wanna post there pictures. Thank you for adding that. I have so much to catch up on here but I aint at my house yet I wont have internet there until next week.

When I first joined the message board I read through practically every thread before I posted anything. I don't understand why it's so frickin hard for others to do the same damn thing (that included the FAQ's and all pinned threads at the time).
And no it wasn't because I misread FAQ as FAG

I hear ya dude... it isn't much of an ask when you consider what one gets in return. Endless pics of beautiful women posing nude for FREE for our enjoyment and the odd laugh along the way. Seems a fair trade?
Posted by: belicked6924 Aug 8 2006, 09:41 AM
Shhh, that was probably the main reason I read through all the threads to see if there were more pics of the beautiful women that bless us with their generosity
Posted by: Gnappster Aug 8 2006, 03:55 PM
good thread pay, at last haha!
sticky it to all sections of forum along with FAQ
that is allŪ
Posted by: boanna Aug 8 2006, 05:06 PM
well i for one didnt read one frickin thing before i posted. i received a nice PM, was asked to cum talk in a thread that was started for me...so i did. long story short, now the whole dang world knows what my hoohah looks like up close!
its not quite free though...us posting the pics. the men still have say something nice and complimentary, to LURE us into posting pics. from what i have learned in life...it's easier for a man to give a woman all his cash, access to all his credit cards, and a new car, than to come up with a compliment that sounds believeable enough to get a naked pic from her!
