What The Heck Is Up

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Well thanks. I didn't realize some of you took this so serious and that there were rules. Such as only subjects about Guthrie in the Guthrie thread and before starting a subject I must first figure out how to search for the subject elsewhere. Do I have it correct now?

Now, I'm hardly the stickler...But...Rules? Sure.

And it's just good etiquette.

Not to mention that it's standard forum etiquette Internet-wide.


*HAH! Pug beat me to it. Damn him and his lightning-fast fingers!

LOL good stuff.

[bandnerd]

Rules? There are rules here?

Oh yeah....there ARE rules...

I'm still confused by this group. If you want to discuss things with only Guthrie people, then why don't you start a listserv or something? I mean, coming here, and starting duplicate threads (violation of the TOS) and then saying that you just wanted to "hear the opinions of your Guthrie friends" seems odd, if not antisocial.

But then again, who am I to follow the rules? Oh, right, I never really broke them

[Wbrook]

People, chill out. Seriously. I GOT IT OKAY! Sorry I didn't read the rules better and sorry I don't spend my entire life on the internet to know all the etiquette, etc. I actually have a life outside blogs and forums. Jeez. If it will make you feel better you can have my first born son as an apology.

You all have convinced me that I should be antisocial here. Thanks!

THESE ARE THE RULES:

1st RULE: You do not talk about OKCTALK.COM.
2nd RULE: You DO NOT talk about OKCTALK.COM.
3rd RULE: If someone says "stop" or goes limp, taps out the (internet) fight is over.
4th RULE: Only two guys to an (internet) fight.
5th RULE: One fight at a time.
6th RULE: No shirts, no shoes.
7th RULE: (internet) Fights will go on as long as they have to.
8th RULE: If this is your first night at OKCTALK.COM, you HAVE to fight.

[bandnerd]

You can keep your kid...but I'm only going to say this once, and I'll leave out names: If I'm going to have the rules thrown in my face all the time around here, and I haven't even broken them, then others are going to damn well know about them, too!

It's always a good idea to read the rules now and then, anyway, just to make sure everything's kosher.

Not trying to make you mad, or ruin your day, or make you antisocial...but did it actually occur to you that we want you to post here, to everyone, and not just the Guthrie people? The Moore people post all over the place, we WANT them to! You just have to jump into a conversation.

[Wbrook]

I keep trying and nobody wants an angry 16 year old.

[bandnerd]

LOL

Send him on down to my school, we'll un-anger him We have a student who comes all the way from Guthrie, actually.

Either way, we want you to participate, we want to get to know you...and I think some of us are quite curious as to what's going on on this other board. Just because we're nosy like that...

Relax, man! Just about everybody gets smacked around for TOS violations from time to time. That's how we learn. I really do hope you Guthrie-ites get more involved in the board!

[Wbrook]

Oh, so I just got initiated and forgot to yell, "Thank you sir, may I have another?"

Where's those smiley things when I need one....

[kmf563]

Oh don't encourage them. please. But yes, you just passed your newbie test. I just went and read the rules again....it's interesting how many rules are broken on a daily basis. The first rule is something about not being rude!!!! ha.

Anyway......

[Tim]

Shut up, kmf.

[kmf563]

Shut up, kmf.

[Marko]

Well some of you have asked and I'm not sure if this is going to work and is almost certainly aginst the rules?

Here goes anyway...LOL!

OMG the format alone kills my eyes...

[jbrown84]

Holy crap I hate those kind of forums. What is this, 1998?

[jman253]

Well my opinion is if you dont like what we are talking about...........DONT READ IT. I have found my way on to several boards on OKCTALK that I thought were inappropriate as well but it is someones topic that they were discussing so I moved on....if only 1person responds to my board then hey there ya have it someone was interested . If from that point on someone comes into my thread and decides they dont like it CLICK RIGHT ON OUT OF IT.

[jbrown84]

That's not really how it works.

[jman253]

It can work anyway you want it to work.

[bandnerd]

Testy today, jman?

I still have basically no idea what you're talking about...if you're upset about how everyone's ragging on you about multiple threads, well, we're not supposed to make duplicate threads. If you are insulted that we don't like the GNL forum-style, well, I don't really have any ideas for you because as far as I know you aren't the creator of the site and so you have no say in its design.

Otherwise, what exactly is your problem? Moderators overstepping boundaries? Angry members on okctalk? What is it?

And who is "we?" Guthrie people? Because, by all means, you are included in the metro area as a Guthrie resident...but you don't have to always make everything Guthrie-centric. I don't post solely about downtown issues. Southsiders talk about other issues, as well. Jump on the bandwagon.

[jman253]

No sorry dont mean to be testy. I could care less who posts where. I think the multiple thread thing is fine but most that I know on here dont have the time to search around and look for a particular thread. I dont feel anyone should be chastized for making a duplicate thread. GNL forum style sucks this is way better. This post was because a moderator edited a post and closed it because a poster used 2 public officials names from Guthrie. I dont feel it should have been edited and definitely dont think it should have been closed. Thats all I am saying. Then it spiraled into whatever everyone else started off about from that.

[bandnerd]

The moderator on this forum edited and then closed the thread here?

It seems odd that they would edit the names of public officials, unless completely slanderous material was thrown out there and perhaps they did it because that material was a violation of the TOS.

However, if you have a problem with a moderator, your best bet is to simply contact the moderator in question, or the owner of the site, and speak with them directly about your discontent.
