Is there a glossary? -

[Seyed]

Hey, shitty newfag here, so if I'm out of line in making this, just tell me and I'll quit it.

I'm actually making this because of my newfagginess, though. I was wondering if there was a glossary of terms used on here (what the ratings mean, what A-Logging means, what the different titles on forums mean (e.g. "Infected/Plagued" on Community Watch forums), etc.)
I've tried scouring the site and Google alike, and I've found nothing. If I'm just being a dumbass and not seeing something right in front of my face, point me there, but if there isn't it might be worth looking into. Having a little dictionary of commonly used terms sure beats making guesses based on context clues and using terms wrong.

A-Logging is intense, hypocritical hatred of a lolcow - "I'm an autist who spends welfare on legos but I JUST WANT TO SEE FATTY SQUIRM"
Infected, Diseased and Plagued refer to the state of a thread. A Plagued thread is no longer about laughing at a community of autists, it's been taken over by autists and is a now a thread dedicated to sperging about the topic of that community (The Euphoric Atheist thread, for example, would be plagued if everyone was just using it to talk about how Christianity is responsible for all the world's problems)
Diseased and Infected are lesser degrees of Plagued, where the thread is still mostly or at least partially on-topic.
The ratings are mostly self-explanatory. Winner is super-like, Semper Fidelis is super-winner, Islamic Content is for posts of an Islamic nature, Powerlevel is for posts with a tad too much personal information, Nice Meme is for nice memes, et cetera.

OPL means Our Pet Lolcow, CWC. I didn't realise that for ages.

Will someone explain nice meme? Is it a supporter rating? I dont think ive ever seen it. Also, does it make a sound?

Nice Meme is a sacred gesture of camaraderie. Only the greatest of men will be graced with the immense beauty of its song.

I really wish I could have rated this Semper Fi.

You could always perform a blood sacrifice

Goddamn right. (Context for non-supporters: semper fi is a supporter only rating, but it's not available in all sub-forums.)

I will not stop until the forum meme bourgeois has been destroyed.

Why is power level such a big deal? Are there really people hunting for personal data on here for vendettas against other users? Whatever the reason is, I like the DBZ reference.

Yes,that too.
Also, you can thank the Vade thread largely for the powerlevel rating : people were laying out their mental illnesses and genderspecial bullcrap right out in the open that it made the Farms look like a Tumblrina gathering by association.

Not all powerleveling is "equal", for example saying that you like Sonic in context of Chris sperging about Sonic is a relatively mild powerlevel compared to something like listing your history of mental illnesses, but openly talking about our Lolcow-y intererests and qualities makes us look even more of a Pit of Trollshielding than what we actually are.

I've always liked the quote, "We are not an asylum!"

Thank you that does clear this up for me

Oh, another thing I've been curious about is the meaning of the banners under people's names. Some are pretty self-explanatory (like Moderator, Administrator, Staff Member, etc.), but I'm not so sure about things like "True and Honest Fan" and "Proud Supporter of Men's Rights."
