Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted October 11, 2001 Share Posted October 11, 2001 Read the following instructions carefully: Thus have I heard: That the kinds of forumites are many That those kinds are not all favorable And these miserable kinds happen without cause Woe to the forumite who is of the miserable kind! Without cause he feels he is shunned Having desired to annoy no one, they are nonetheless annoyed How then may they avoid the pot hole of the miserable forumite? How can ignorance be transormed? Receive now the signs and avoid them as a snake in the grass The bad signs, they bring misery to the forumite Receive now these truths! When the forumite is young, he is a newbie Having made no mistakes, they are all before him Having made no friends, none will defend him Having no wiles, with misery shall he find company These three things he needs most! Making mistakes is the great teacher; may he see others make them first and thus be spared Making friends is the first goal; they will show one mistakes so he may avoid them Learning wiles is the lesser goal; remember the order With reverence he must cherish these three if he is to avoid misery The discussion forum is like a great hall Full of courtiers armed with swords, and no king The slightest sound will travel up the rafters to the dome and be heard by all Learn this well: sound carries! Before speaking with the booming voice, one should try quiet gestures One will thus find a good volume without shouting One will also hear the mistakes of others and thus avoid them He who shouts receives misery--it is his due The key to friendship in the great hall is presents Who is this beggar who comes empty handed? Away with him--bearing nothing, he will only take! We have no need to fill empty arms Now the forumite who brings gifts for the hall of courtiers will be well received Let him then bring us funny jokes and interesting links Let the newbie dance and entertain the hall Until he has posted six hundred times he is unmasked and inferior The newbie who accepts and moves beyond this is spared; this is the secret Owed nothing, expecting nothing, he is rewarded Misery is still the bounty of he without wiles Knowing not the joke, he is offended Knowing not the game, he is blown up in outer space Knowing not how to prick back others when pricked, he is the target Remember the order of goals: Friends, then wiles And the pricking no longer is misery These three are the ways To learn well, the newbie is well advised See beyond! This is not a page with words Cherish the three ways and be a forumite of patient honor Om! Peace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted October 11, 2001 Share Posted October 11, 2001 Cracken! Thanks for the Crack-down (sorry ) over at RSN, but I'm not sure it will be enough in the long run. I mean, how exactly do you deal with someone who feels "I don't like being considered a newbie or a spammer,... so I'll get my post count up by starting 10 new threads a day and posting as much as I can everwhere else so that I can reach 600 by the end of the week, AND THAT WILL GET ME SOME RESPECT!!!!" This is someone who clearly doesn't understand the definitions of spam or newbie. He is clearly the worst offender at RSN at the moment. I am noticing a bit of a mass-exodus of some of the older members over there as well. Seems like there are a few people fed up with the current atmosphere over there. You have a long road ahead of you, bud. Good luck. You're gonna need it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted October 11, 2001 Share Posted October 11, 2001 ...Anyone notice he hasn't been back since right after he posted this? Ahhh. There's nothing like a well-defended airspace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted October 12, 2001 Share Posted October 12, 2001 UPDATE to last post: The situation has degenerated over there, quite a bit. I was just there and we have an all-out war between Helix and TK-421. Every thread has them going at each other. It's getting ugly. Somebody may want to get over there and give these two a "break" for a while to cool down and think about what they've done, and let things get back to normal. A few thread closings/ deletions may be in order as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted October 12, 2001 Share Posted October 12, 2001 Well I think that the mods for that site, whom all seem to post here a LOT more often than there, might. Of course I wouldn't have to post requests like this if any of them had an e-mail address in thier profiles that actually seemed to be active! The way I see it, if nobody is going to moderate that site out of it's present condition, then it might as well be shut down to free up some valuable bandwidth and server space. Just my opinion, of course. [This message has been edited by edlib (edited October 12, 2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion, of course. [This message has been edited by edlib (edited October 12, 2001).] I'm a moderator over there, just in one forum, which nobody bothers going in. I've stayed long enough to become a mod at the downtime forum (about 3 years, I registered July '99). I check the site about every hour too, I even have it set as my homepage. If I become a mod at the downtime lounge, I'll bring order to it, swift and justly. /end speech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest S1DC Posted October 12, 2001 Share Posted October 12, 2001 You will notice i have not been around... Namely because the activities at the RSN forums sickens me.

Guest Rogue15 Posted October 12, 2001 Share Posted October 12, 2001 Originally posted by Ikhnaton: I'm sure they love that, R15 all i did was put please upgrade www.roguesquadron.net in my signature, and since the sig is activated w/o me having to press the show signature button...i doubt it if they ever read it. however, i do have info on the forums: The RS.net forums will be updated when all the rest of our forums are upgraded. When will this happen you ask? To be honest, I'm not really sure. We are hoping to move to a new server in about 2 - 3 weeks, after that upgrading the forums will be one of the top concerns (the graphics are already in the works). that's what chris3po said.
