[Edit: now that I've edited this post, I can tell you that the button looks like a little piece of paper with a pencil on it! :P]

I have to confess to reading the forum rules. In fact I've actually searhed for information and found answers to my numerous questions and learned alot in the process. I've only been aware of afterdawn for about a month and already I'm amazed at the crap people ask...Can I say crap?
Holy Shit, he said crap. Thats a fucking mean, bad-ass word. Need to try and control that lol - dont be copying my language, i really shouldnt use it - but thats what herbsman is here for, he's my personal moderator (and Praetor too) who correct all my cock-ups lol.

Hopefully being a smart ass isn't against the rules! :)
I hope not or im definitely on the "to be kicked out and stamped on" list. You'v eheard the term; "No one likes a smart arse", well i disagree, i find it funny listening to smart arses posting - if its all clean good humour meant in the nicest possible way...

Oriphus, I'm not familiar with the term cock-ups. It sound pretty interesting though...
We don't have it here over in New England. By New I mean currently controled by a facist, arrogant, and utterly stupid regime. Buy hey, I guess your either with us or against us! :(
If the forum rules are anything like our diminishing civil liberties in the US, we are all screwed!

lol - thats very profound of you, but America's civil liberties are fairly decent, if only they were followed. The one thing i horribly disagree about with America, is that it does not give its citizens free Health and medical care - that should be at the forefront of every modern society.....
But lets not turn this one into a political thread lol :D

Yeah, you make a good point. Don't forget about free University education though! Of course, I am happy when I get an extra donut in the box. (I try to keep my expectations low).
No more political musings from now on, I swear! ;)

Oriphus, Must be nice to have your own Mod but you do need one.
Good to see someone else has read the rules. I am not the only one. Well I do assume dRD has read them, We hope.

I think I've got the answer....LOL
When someone new signs up to AfterDawn make them go through an elaborate tutorial before they are able to start that first post: have a series of quizes where they click in the answer they think is correct and if they don't read the information and answer correctly it just keeps on going round and round and round in circles until they finally get it. Especially on how to actually use the search function. ehehehehehe
make note to self to take anti-sarcasism pill tonight

My best advice for NEWBIES is: "use the search function.

Well yes and no - I was thinking more of giving them basic need to know info that they have to read - then they have to answer a question about that particular information - get it right, move on.....wrong answer and go to jail lol just like a game of monolopy
e.g Make em read ScubaPete's post on why we custom size a disc then give 'em multi choice tick box answer to check.
a)4460
b)4300
c)4350
d)4360
hehehehehehe of course the suggestion is all in good fun and not to be taken seriously!

It would be good fun, though the plan for afterdawn is to try and get more users, and i think that would turn them away.
Id get Scubapetes quiz wrongthough :-( cuz i like to do everything differently to everyone else, that way i can still be unique lol :-D

Hey, just a suggestion from down under. Why not change their status to a name that reflects their lack of respect for the rules. An example could be 'Stupid' or perhaps maybe even something a little harsher. This penalty could be for a set period of time set by the moderators that oversee us. It might stop some of the crap.

1. Name-calling and such is something for the elementary schoolyard rather than a civilized environment.
2. "Inactive" has such a better ring to it :)

I lurked for 3 weeks reading the rules and lots of post s to get the hang of it before joining in. It really pisses me off to see the same crappy post lines that none can use the search for. The piracy shit is getting crazy old too
