It seems that many of you don't know how to properly post. I thought this was too basic, but once again I have underestimated the newbies, so here are a few tips.
[you]
How to edit[/you]: At the top right hand corner of each post there are three icons you can click.
One is Quote that allows you to quote the message in a nice box.
The next one is Modify. This is your edit button. So if you can't write or you forgot something you can go back to edit it. PLEASE use this.
The last is delete, which I'm not sure if you all have or not. Anyway it allows you to delete the post.
[you]No double posting!!![/you] This means you post twice in a row. If you forgot something or need to make it clearly just click on the modify button. If no one responses to your post be patient. You can always pm me whining about how no one will post.
[you]Post in one place![/you] Some of you aren't sure where to put certain topics. The TK is the worse. Anything kinesis related goes here: thepsiworld.proboards37.com/index.cgi?board=mtel
If you post in two places I will have to delete one.
[you]Post in the right place![/you] Please look at each section. Read a few of the posts. See if this question or comment would fit there. If none of the skills look right you can try two places. The general psionics is for talking about psionics in general. The Other skills is for skills that don't belong anywhere else.
[you]Do not repeat questions![/you] Please read the FAQ: www.freewebs.com/jedikaren/faq.htm
and the Newbie Questions: thepsiworld.proboards37.com/index.cgi?board=newb&action=display&thread=1111849566&page=7
AND all the recent posts on each topic. I hate having to answer the same question over and over.
[you]
Spell Check[/you] If you've read my stuff you know I don't bother to spell check too much. But on important stuff I do. The worse thing I see is the word "sight". "This sight is soooo cool" what you really mean is "site". Please learn this. It will gain you more respect around here.
[you]Slang[/you] I don't ban slang as you can see, but I get pretty sick of readin' it all the time. please keep the slang dwn t' a min' (as you can see that gets old quickly) This is an informal site, but not that relaxed. Don't be too lazy when it comes to typing. It makes you sound pretty dumb.
[you]
Failure to follow[/you] I'm very relaxed and really don't want to bother anyone, but if you get on my nerves I will and I will not be anything you want. So if you repeatedly break these rules you will be getting an pm warning you not do it again an that the next time I will be deleting the bad post. Do it a few more times and a pm will warn you are getting close to getting banned. I'm not a mean person, but this site is growing fast and some of the looseness you all love is starting to get out of hand. We can still be loose, but you all need to be a bit smarter when it comes to posting.
