Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted May 30, 2003 What's up with the gimmicks? It seems like "Gimmicks are not illegal, but will get you banned" Can you clarify? I hate people posing as wrestlers or people like that one guy who went on in every post about how Nash was the greatest wrestler of all time or something, but I found That 1996 Guy and Gimmick Poster.com (until he got banned for something, I guess he was a former ban?) were amusing.

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2003 Question: My signature (which I need to change since my last SOG is so long ago I want to remove the link for now) has a link for an IRC pals news headline collecting site. It's part of my sig and is therefore only shown after I've contributed something to a thread... but should I remove it anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2003 No, you don't have to remove that. Advertising in sigs is allowed. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I gathered: Be entertaining and you'll be OK. If the gimmick gets banned, and you come back as another gimmick, you're gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RenegadeX28 Report post Posted June 1, 2003 what would mods and admins consider VERY Tasteless..... That's going to vary from person to person, but I imagine Jubuki's asshole remark that got him banned would be a good yardstick. I don't think any of us are easy to offend, and I know we don't go around looking for things to possibly offend us. Something that's a judgment call is almost impossible to quantify. Yeah, that really should be the yardstick for tasteless........ I still can't believe what an idiot that guy was....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Marshall Report post Posted June 3, 2003 What if I wanted to post about some VCDs that I'm selling? Would that be spam? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2003 Well, as long as you don't go in every folder and every thread you post in to do so, no. At least you contribute to the forums. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Marshall Report post Posted June 3, 2003 So would it best in the tape trading folder or Movies. They're mostley none wrestling. For the record, I doubt anyone will be interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DrTom Report post Posted June 4, 2003 Dames' sig is under half a page. And since mine lacks a picture and doesn't feature a boatload of text, I know mine does, too. So... ha! and stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kingpk Report post Posted June 7, 2003 I've got a suggestion for one more rule: "If you come upon a thread that you feel is stupid , the worst thing you can do is reply to it, since all it does is drag it down and put it to the top of whatever folder it is in, which causes more people to see it and add their damn opinion and drag it to 11 pages when it should have died at 11 replies." Ok, not really a RULE, but advice a lot here could stand to take. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
