Forum Etiquette
 

Below you will find some tips for posting here at B&G, I would not say they are rules because for the most part, they are not; there are merely guidelines to make your visits a little more productive, and your feedback a little more positive.

A little courtesy goes a log way here.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Please - Read the forums FAQ before posting for the first time.

2. Please - Search the other posts to see if your topic is already covered.

3. Please - Use a meaningful title for your thread. Please do not start a sentence in your thread title then finish it in the body of your posting.

4. Please - Do not use our forum to promote your product, service, or business. Or Blog, we have a blog feature here.

5. Please - Be civil. Personal differences should be handled through email or IM and not through posts displayed to everyone.

6. Please - Stay on topic.

7. Please - Ignore spammers, respond to them personally and not through the board, or report them. Please report them.

8. Please - In order to be understood by most people, use correct spelling, grammar and avoid slang unless you know the word or phrase will be understood by other members.

9. Please - Do not double post (post the same message twice in one thread) or cross post (place the same message across several forums).

10. Please - Act in a give and take manner; help others as often as or more than you ask for help.

11. Please - Do not use all caps or SHOUT in your posts. In addition, one exclamation point is enough.

12. Please - When replying to a post, do not quote more from the previous post than you have to.

13. Please - Do not use someone else’s thread for a private conversation.

14. Please - Watch your sense of humor, posts may be read by people from a variety of backgrounds and ages. Please refrain from comments associated with suicide, or statements that could be offensive to other members.

15. Please - Do not post ”empty” or useless responses, such as just ”lol” or ”cool.” Only post responses when you have something to contribute. We have a "Like" button for this.

16. Please - Write concisely and do not ramble.

17. Please - Do add your ideas, thoughts, and or comments. Your input is all this site has to build with.

18. Please - Do not chastise newbies. Teach them.

19. Please - Use the Ultimate Smack Talk, Political, areas to discuss items that fall into those categories.

20. Lastly - Please - We are all very passionate about our Saints, the term Fan is an abbreviation of fanatic. We do not all agree, nor do we all care for everyone's view point; we should however respect each member of this forum as we wish to be respected. Please disagree if you do with out name calling, derogatory, inflammatory, or slanderous replies.

Thank you very much for visiting and contributing, the quality of the content on BlackandGold.com is directly attributed to the quality of our members and their postings.

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

Was this because of me? thank you!

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

Does this mean I cant call them failcunts anymore?:bng:

Not in any way, shape, or form. I can think of 20-30 threads that some of these ideas might apply to, none of them yours. :-)

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

You trying to make me feel bad Oak? I love ya man. I was just funnin ya!

Awww brother, don't feel bad that I felt bad that you felt bad.... :)

Personally that's way too much feeling between two guys so I am going to just walk away.

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

Add another rule
Bromance between members should be taken to private messages

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

Thanks Oak.

I'd also like to see people stop posting ...
Who Cares? (why post in the thread if you don't care)
Championship! (old and boring)
Beast! (even older)
Can he play (insert position he obviously doesn't play)?
Yes (give reasons why you think yes)
No (give reasons why you think no)

Baby steps Danno

We JuS GoTs pAsT tHiS sOrT uv CRAP!!!!:hallucinate:

Perhaps I will number them so the community can reference the item if they deem fit.

Item 15 covers a good bit of that.

Re: Forum Etiquette

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

Some people are just a little late maturing.

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

did someone touch my arse? roflmao

I was drinking and don't member a thing....

Jamessr does seem like he feels left out though.

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

We should have an area where all stupid post go to die.
We could call it Viking's Land or Failcons Territory

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

#15 is not a rule, but a guideline, and appears to be applicable! (Note; I only used one exclamation point).

"15. Please - Do not post"

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

Maybe when a new member signs up, the welcome message should include the link to The Forum Etiquette for review prior to moving forward. That will help eliminate alot of the postings submitted without knowledge of their error.

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

This can be accomplished. Good idea MG!

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

cOOL!!!

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

21. The Danno rule - No tainting alcohol.

That is flat out abuse.

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

Well, I've always been a rebel............so I'm not gonna' play by your rules!!!! Are you nuts or something? :pink:
And Danno can taint all the alcohol he wants!!! :argue:

CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

I wouldnt have a problem with this at all if it wasnt for one person. I really want something bad to happen to him. Kind of like I felt with 9-11 and boston. I just wanted them to die. The news could call it THE ROGER SLAUGHTER.

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

I noticed that stupid cat pics and complete thread jacks are still OK....

Whew...!!!

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

These are not rules..... Merely guidelines.

I also don't spend time writing "guidelines" that have zero chance of being enforceable. Besides, people that do that are a lot like my bulldog.... Impossible to get through to. :-)

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

Your rules , regulations, and etiquette would be great for your site.
Perhaps starting your site would be best.
I mean that sincerely.

I think people here get along. I really don't see a problem here . If there is someone who one doesn't quite feel connected to or feels bullied by, always corrected by another, well people usually just don't respond back to that person. I think people around here try to and even go out of their way to avoid board confrontations. It is not worth it. They post on what they want. They post on the threads they want.
I have seen some people tell , very nicely, someone to remove some picture or something and it was done with no board mess.

You have quite a few comics around here. Some of their posts are a bit naughty, but not Xrated. People have limits. It is not my board. Owner allows it. .

This is a good site:bng:

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

yeah get your poop in a group.

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

If anyone gets personally attacked or finds a comment to be offensive towards himself or another person, please feel free to point a moderator in that person's direction. There is also a "Report Post" button underneath everyone's avatar.

Thank you.

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

Hey guys not new over here but haven't posted in awhile I really love this site plus I've had enough over tos looking forward to some great material

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

Welcome Back!

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

What should be added is NOT! adding video that auto-play.. OMG that is so obnoxious!! i opened up one thread to over 10 video's playing all at once, i can't fathom why everybody feel the need to grab the auto-play video link..

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

Ok I am very guilty of the 2 exclamation marks. My bad! :doh:

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

You may want to look at your settings, none of the videos in that thread or any thread I have come across start automatically.

When you click on share on youtube it generates 1 url with multiple options of formatting depending on where you want to share it, I do not see an option to make it autoplay if I wanted to. I can select a start time but not auto play.


Does this auto play for you? if it does, it may be your settings.

I think he means the GIFs.

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

Lot of this going on lately.

Re: Forum Etiquette
 

Product of emotional posting. When a person actually thinks about a posting they normally conclude it has an over all theme, thus a Subject is born.
