A Newbie FAQ Sticky in the Lounge

[robert42]

I think there should be a FAQ sticky thread in the lounge answering the typical questiosn that gets asked daily by new members or not so educated smokers.

It would save allot of wasted threads asking the same question it would also stop people flaming people cause when a new memeber joins up and asks a question thats been asked 100 times they get flamed

i think this would work as good as DickJustices FAQ in the Phycotropics page.

Come on Ron i know u like the idea ;)

Remember that 'posting guidelines thing' you put up ages ago - I tried
searching for it...couldn't find, maybe it needs another airing :cool:

[GHoSToKeR]

Maybe a few of us Cafe Members or something could get together and think of some ideas? Like, what to put in it..

Okay, okay, maybe not, put the gun down. :eek:

[tokosan]

one of tips need to be NO POSTS LIKE THIS, cause no one will read them:

Okay, I was watchin the news, something I rarely do because it is full of reminders on how the human race is disappointing, But I wanted to find out about the hurricane, and how everything was going. I turned on the news, and they were talking about looters,and such. What the fuck is wrong with those people? There lives are in a war zone, and they have the nerve to go and steal while the cops/and others are helping people. I mean there are dead bodies, and stuff everywhere. Instead of actually stealing this, why not donate some of your inconsiderate self centered time to helping these people out. I can understand if your starved to death,Or your kids need to eat, or but just actually going in and stealing like that?That's a poor excuse for a fucking american, and frankly those people didn't look like they were starving to death.Okay..Okay Maybe i'm being a bit to hard. But honestly, I know a lot of us don't have a lot of money. Hell I've got 10 dollars to last me until thursday. But I have a home, food, A beautiful baby and a family and two arms two legs,and a mouth to eat with..so on and so forth it looked to me from the looks of it that these people had good health, and even if they're houses got destoryed they still didn't have to do that, Seriously...Help...Don't cause an even bigger problem.




I dont need a headache ya know?

[del...]

no one would read them anyways...hell, you guys can't even look down the page and see two other threads with the same subject (and sometimes title) before starting a new thread!

but go ahead and put it together and we'll see...

[GHoSToKeR]

Fuck, del..., I love the way you bitch (yes, you BITCH) about 'mod bashing', but almost every thing you post now has this contempt for everyone who isn't either mod or admin seething out from between every line. Damn, man...

[beachguy in thongs]

I think they're should be a sticky saying that pot has been medically proven to do no harm to your body. :stoned:

[del...]

just stating the truth, ghostie...and you know it. so why all the drama about nothing? are you looking to turn your "i'm banned" game into reality?

[GHoSToKeR]

Oh I know it, del..., I recently made a thread myself begging people to use the search function. At the same time there were about four threads all on the exact same subject.

Hmm, my game? What game's that? I decided to make a new account, and was in a shitty mood and got myself banned. I don't see a game anywhere.. Lol, anyway, we always seem to come head to head like this, del..., and there's no need so i'ma shut the fuck up.. hehe :)

[tokosan]

Fuck, del..., I love the way you bitch (yes, you BITCH) about 'mod bashing', but almost every thing you post now has this contempt for everyone who isn't either mod or admin seething out from between every line. Damn, man... im gonna have to agree with this 100%, and not just about del....

as i said, it is quite elitist

[GHoSToKeR]

re you looking to turn your "i'm banned" game into reality?
Ooooh, I only just realised that was a threat! You're gonna ban me, del...? For what? Lol, what a crock of shite.

[tokosan]

don't rock the boat man..

[lateralus]

Nobody posts in the correct forum, let alone read the stickies. Dick Justice's sticky in Other Psychotropics hasn't done much good at all. There are still several threads on other drugs popping up all over Recreational, and I don't see that ever coming to an end.

[STDzRus]

We need order.

We need a tast force.

I need to be in it.

I have nothing else to do. I can move threads to where they properly go all day..for free.

[lateralus]

Yeah I wish I was a mod.

[dustoned]

i further endorse the fact that it should be organized in a nice, fat, pretty table of contents. organized by type of question.

[tokosan]

Yeah I wish I was a mod. its cool if you like getting stupid IMs all day

[ShamanicHippy]

I think that you should just include like permanent links at the top of the page to erowid and other sites (maybe totse.org) and ask people to check them first. but then again, no one would. I dont really have a problem with people posting the same thing over and over again (as long as it isnt like on the same page) I mean it is a message board, not an archive board. and with like 13000 threads in "the lounge" alone, everything has already been discussed. now it must be discussed with new people. thats the way I see it anyway.

I think if a person is of the demeanor that would riot and plunder during a crisis, wouldn't they be the type that would only get in the way of the public servants at ground zero?
