We don’t have anything so formal, but many posters seem to be more prone to roll their eyes at someone with a recent join date who posts something dumb. My stodgy advice:
-Don’t post in a thread that’s been inactive for several years. The bulk of our “zombie threads” are revived by newbies, and it’s built up a bit of bad will toward them over the years. It’s an honest mistake, but it gets annoying. Feel free to start a new thread on the same topic, though.
-Avoid starting BBQ Pit threads about specific posters until you get a feel for who’s who (e.g. don’t pit Skald the Rhymer).
-Avoid /b/-inspired mannerisms like the -fag suffix.
“Regs”? My name starts with “Reg”, so I guess you could call me reg… but if you do, I hope you’ve lived a long, full life without regrets. As to “newfags”, new or old, it means more women for me.
Would it be against board rules for me to let Lil’ Neville post, or at least contribute to a post, once I bring her home from the hospital? I doubt it, or at least suspect it isn’t a banning offense, since the Neville kitties have contributed to posts of mine before, and they’re under 13.
Though I don’t think the term “fag” is generally used to describe females, gay or straight, and we won’t know our baby’s sexual orientation for several years in any case, so I guess she still wouldn’t count as a newfag.
I was going to invite my parentfags to the boards, but now seems like a bad time. I’d just hate for them to be both lonerfags and geriatri-fags at the same time. They don’t even smoke.
