Exclamation How to Post In a Forum

For anyone who doesn't seem to get how to post in a forum this little flash animation you may want to watch. And even you veterans will want to watch as well, I mean it is funny.


Watch Me!

Simply Replace any reference to the Steam forums and replace with a Thrillnetwork reference, and the Read First statement with Annoucement : and you've got the general idea.

But sadly, that covers our rules, our TOS, and our etiquette.

I can't check this right now but I guess it's funny from what others above said. So I'll check it out sometime. From the sound of it, it covers the TOS as Steven said, but in an amusing manner.

Speaking os posting, there is something that bugs me and I was going to start a thread about it but I guess this is as good a spot as any to bring it up. When "quoting" someone, why do people feel the need to quote the entire post that someone when all they needed was a small part of it. They copy the whooooooole thing and then reply "that's how I feel". Is it really neccessary to do that? Couldn't they just address the person by name or just quote a sentence or two of the post. It hurts my brain to have to read that much. Reading is bad! It was bad enough I had to read some posts once, then I have to read them twice!

For those who don't already know and I'm sure there are some who don't. You can delete what you don't need from their post just as you would delete something out of your own when editing it. So go ahead, try it out, quote someone today and delete the excess. I'm not the only one who has this complaint, am I???

Thanks for listening to my ranting and raving.

My biggest pet peeve is when people quote 1 line of a long post at a time, and reply with a lame, sarcastic "witty" response to each sentence.

When someone's just being annoying, yeah, that's most definately a pain, I gotta agree with you there slipknot. However, when it's a good debate and it's a long post and they have to address each issue individually, it helps when the person shows you what they are responding to so that you aren't lost. Quoting whole, long post and then putting something dumb like a smilie is a-freaking-noying.

NO when they quote a line and just "rebuttle" with, "yeah, and I have a horse to sell you."
