Proper Board Etiquette

I wish I had known the proper etiquette for addressing one or others on the board before I posted my Loosah and Obby Post. Its unfortunate that those such as prominx became quite negative about the post without really explaining what the norm is here to me. I would have come back and deleted the post if it created any ill will, which I certainly feel it did not. It was addressed to Ob and Loosah.. What I want to know is why are you so argumentative prominx over the post? If anything you would think because YOU ARE SO VOCAL, that you should have been helpful straight away instead of condemming my post. I would have been appreciative with the rules of the board and like I said deleted the post.. Maybe the forum administrator can post the rules of the board for new people. That would be most helpful for us. Prominx, I send lots of Hugs your way...I am not dissing you I am pointing out to you that you could have been of help...to myself and others who don't know the ropes.... HUGS TO ALL of you.....

OK, I do, I don't know about him... I just think it's kind of just common sense not to be using bandwidth and disk space for personal messages. There are both ICQ and e-mail button's on any person's post/profile. If they didn't choose to include that in their personal profile, the logical extension is that they choose not to be accessible. Fine, whatever, the GAM has laid the proverbial smackdown on you and your overtly cheerful clique. I'm glad you now know the rools.

"he broke that rule; she was allowed to post this, but I can't; yada yada yada.." You end up having to make a rule for every freeking thing, which creates an extra load on the Mods. Give'em a break. Think before you speak. (Warning: Fines doubled in work zones) Ps. Don't be afraid to edit your post if people complain about it. Mavi forum
