Kirby Gotenks absorbed Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Ok, well, I'm quite new to this forum... or at least I have a few unanswered questions, so I was hoping for some answers.Q1:Why do people refer to gob as insanely violent?...Q2:Is double/triple posting "illegal"Q3:Do you get banned immediately if you don't use @ in cr@p?

Andrew Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 A1: Gob can be violent ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 A2: Double/triple posting like I am doing right now is "illegal". Edit your post instead. Although if you post in a thread, and no one else replies you can feel free to reply after a 48 hour period or so. Before that editing is preferred and people will be notified that you edited your post as it will have a "new" thing next to it the same as if someone had replied.A3:I don't think crap will. But excessive useless swearing will accomplish nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Ahh, so that's how you're catching up Andrew ;)A1) Gob is a post-hungry yeti who slumbers a lot.A2) x2/x3 posting is frowned upon (but inevitable). A3) I have yet to see someone banned immediately (usually it's an ongoing possibility that reaches a boiling point, whenceforth the yeti is awoken and The Dungeon prepares for another visitor...)

Kirby Gotenks absorbed Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Thank you people! :DSo that's why Gob is considered as Vicious! Because he's a ban hungry Yeti! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Ahh, so that's how you're catching up Andrew ;)It's not my fault no one replies to my rambling nonsensical posts. :Dor is it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 As for the swearing. "cr@p" is the same for me as "crap". Just because it is typed differently doesn't make it different. "Fuck" is the same as "f*ck" (though if you have enabled Nema's censor, you will read "dash" instead.)You can actually use some swearing over here, but if you do it too much, people will like you far less.Insulting people and personal attacks are a different matter though, and will not be tolerated. When done to the extreme a ban can be immediate, as some members may have experienced.Hope that answers your question :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 The rules are here:http://forum.dune2k.com/index.php?action=faq"Although if you post in a thread, and no one else replies you can feel free to reply after a 48 hour period or so"Don't do this to bump a topic up the list, double-post when you have something new and significant to add and modifying your post wouldn't be appropriate. News on ongoing Dune II: The Maker project work, for example, would be a good reason to double-post."though if you have enabled Nema's censor, you will read "dash" instead"Some swearwords are censored spellchecked simply because it confuses spammers to find their rant has turned into telling their target they're a considerate person and an intelligent forum member. And because it's amusing. The feature does actually do some spelling work, too.In general, there's not a problem with swearing, except if you're attacking someone. The other thing that's liable to get you warned or banned is using sexist, racist, etc. language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchemi2 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Basically GOB runs the forum and is sweet and loveable till someone pisses him off (Naveros) then he rips your arms off and beats you to death.Theres no need to swear lad, no need at all jut expand that vocabulary.Why double post just edit your original.Most people here are reasonably tolerate and it takes verve to piss em off.

gunner154 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 They don't call him the Eater of Small Children for nothing..Double and triple posting are usually standard forum rules. Most forums that actually do make sense frown upon multiple-posts. There is a large majority that doesn't mind bumps and the sort. But this is a small forum (relative to the ones I've seen my friends visit) so threads usually don't get ignored, cutting down the need to do any bumps.Be nice. Really.

Dunenewt Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 You should play Emperor, and play the Ordos campaign, and you will see. A new ghola of me is currently growing up, and soon, its memories will be reawakened, and I will be back.
