A Noobs response

[BucksMaster]

When any new member joins a forum,it is customary to give the more opinionated ones an 'initiation ceremony'. I had no problem with the one I received when I first posted ,it was right and proper lol. When the 'hard core' members of the forum have done that,it is beholden on said Noobie to respond by seeing which buttons are easiest to press and what the reaction might be. It is the quickest way for the Noobie to get a feel for who the characters are and how the forum works in terms of the dynamics.

The thread about the Halloween hangovers was the 'Trojan Horse',something chosen at random so I could 'complain' about a thread going off-topic. One might question whether it was credible that I cared for even a second about who had a hangover or not,but posters seemed to think that I might,so I guess it 'worked'.

Choosing the thread to follow the Trojan Horse, was easy. A newbie DISCUSSING the moderation of a forum,will always work on pretty much every forum in the world lol.You will note,those who read the thread carefully,I never once criticised the moderation on here,seems to work just fine,in truth, I merely invited members to discuss it as the thread itself will testify :-

So there you have it.A newbie response to an initiation ceremony. I posted every single word with a smile and I hope none of you got too hot under the collar about it. I doubt I offended anybody either,if I inadvertently did, then I apologise.

As for the moderation on this forum,truth is it works pretty much spot on from what I have seen so far,and I am sure they rarely get the thanks that they deserve. Must be a thankless task sometimes,tbh.If a toy ain't broken don't fix it,particularly if it is about to be used in a sexual act,of course.

So there you have it, the end of a Noobs response to their initiation. Hopefully one or two will read back on the two threads with a smile,armed with that new knowledge. At this point it is common for a bit of abuse to be thrown back from those who still haven't 'got it', you are of course entitled to do so,but it is water off a ducks back lol.

Hope to hang around these parts for a while yet,now my Noobie response is over. Look forward to interacting with you all.

The kind of behavior you displayed is not customary for any noob here. Other than The GB no hazing is ever practiced. You assumption that it is, either proved your are an alt of a member here or you have a friend already here. This is a place of freedom and welcome. Conspiracy theories are for the Political boards. This sort of behavior and thought pattern will not gain you any friends here. By your actions you have left a bad taste in many's mouths and alienated quite a few. I suggest that moving forward you try being less pretensions, step off your perceived pedestal and just be nice. No one is your science experiment. Just getting attention here is not how one gets friends. You have to be one to get one. Might I also suggest that when one makes an apology that you don't surround it with mindless drivel. Sorrys don't have buts. Welcome to Lit and play nice.

I haven't had the patience to read his post (sorry, BucksMaster), but I'm a bit surprised that he left anyone with such an impression. I was under the imp. that he was in fact quite considerate & got along with almost everyone. In saying that, I haven't read his last thread to know what else might have transpired.

Unless he's yet another "experimental Alt", in which case I might as well just kill myself.

Get the noose, razor blades and note ready... Might come in handy. *EYEROLL* I swear. I wish there was a way to stem the alt tide. They are like an infestation. And if he had been so nice an apology thread would not have been created. He is still welcome. Just needs to not be another arse. I Already provide that service. No one can cut in on my market man. lol

I wasn't trying to stir up conflict, I was genuinely surprised by this entire thread.(I'm not uptodate with his latest threads).
I actually genuinely liked him, he made some cool jokes and he tried to pacify us when myself and another poster temporarily engaged in some silly fight.

You think he's another Alt? Then bloody hell, I'm sick & tired of this stupid Alt crap.

I wasn't clear, I think: I meant I'm fed up with these sorts of Alts & their silly games, I think they're vermin, too.

I was thinking the same. If it is the same guy, his emoji trigger finger must be itching to play, too.

Usually the 'initiation' involves determining whether or not someone has humor or wit.

That answers that.

I appreciate the compliment, thanks.

It is sometimes recognised that there are circa ten different types of humo(u)r. Over the last 24 hours I have counted that I have incorporated seven of them in my posts...but then again my maths never was very good,tbh.

(Hint: two of them are in this post,maybe even three if I was being generous to myself)

The combined genius of setting up your own circumstances of success and then fulfilling those circumstances is a milestone of achievement. It has never been done before.

Thanks for the detailed response.I actually really like this post as it has plenty in it that I'd like to respond to when I have a bit more time later.

End of the day,people can have conspiracy theories and there is nothing I can do or say to stop that. The truth is rather less exciting I'm afraid,I was taking the piss just because as a newbie that is the one thing it is easy to do to respond to the "hazing" I received in here. My explanation on here is a genuine one,people can decide if they want to accept it on face value or not.

He sure is going out of his way to say, "Hey„ look! I'm English, . . . not American at all.

Self deprecation does not pair well with condescension. Humo(u)r cannot be distilled down to formulaic application.

If you have to explain that something is funny, and why, it wasn't.

Self deprecation is a very delicate balancing act and I've never been able to do it.

Sometimes the problem lies with the one who does it.
Other times, with the intended receiver.

Unfortunately it is very difficult thing to learn as well.
