How to access the General Forum -

[Null]

I've made some changes to how the General Forum is accessed.

- Instead of 50 posts, you only need 10 posts to get into General. This is so there is a small no-read area where Bots and Spam Bots cannot access that forum for personal information.
- Do not contact anyone (me, Champ, Brook, Freecell, etc) about getting into General. Just make 10 posts. Any threads about general access will be deleted. Any PMs will be ignored.

Additionally, new users cannot create threads. We recently had some spambot create a thread in the Chris forum. It's more likely that this is the work of some 4_cent Chinese sweatshop worker that solves reCAPTCHAs as a job, but the point is I don't want the forum to have this issue. If you spot a post that is spam, please report it so it can be addressed immediately. Also, do not respond to these posts or in any way quote the links they contain. What they're trying to do is increase the Google PageRank of specific corporate entities by creating more links. If you also create more links by quoting their shit, you're helping them. I'll probably ban anyone for a day if they help propagate spam.

Sounds legit. 10 doesn't sound so bad. 50? Who's idea was that?

It's easier to get 50 than you think...of course, I post a lot, so that might just be me.

I think he just wanted to see the rest of his thread that got moved. Whatever, I can't stop him.

Us meanies in the staff don't have any post number restrictions and thus no ranking.

Though I suspect that the Global Mods and Admins have access to a secret board where they make fun of me titled "Dunsparce is an Anus Knight"

They do. They also have a secret board called "Saney is a Kangaroo in a Human Suit," one titled "Henry Bemis is Never Going To Get New Glasses," another one titled "Niachu is secretly Yaks and is Also a Cat," and, my favorite, "Hunter is a Homosexual."

 

[brooklynbailiff]

Who leaked this information?

But, for full disclosure, Admins also have boards where they mock Global Mods. "Compy wants to spoon with a Brontosaurus." "Surtur wishes he had a cool epithet like 'Bloodaxe.'"

 

[LM 697]

The correct term is Apatosaurus, you train loving autistic.

Meh. It's not hard to shit post by just quoting someone and saying you agree. 10 posts just filters out the spam bots
