Litiquette

[wombat9966]

Okay, an actual somewhat serious question:

What's the rule on quoting someone. It seems there's two camps regarding this one. I've had to do it because I actually form my response in the form of a paragraph instead of, "Yea, I'd do her." So, it takes me a bit to post. I do find it's easier to follow a conversation if they're quoting the person they're answering.
.

I will quote if I am answering a specific person or question, otherwise i will just leave it as a general comment. If it gets swallowed up so be it.

I take a laissez faire approach. I don't interfere or get upset. I only talk to those whose grammar or style I like. I don't force myself on anyone. If I don't like a conversation or the way people are acting in a thread, I just bail.

Like water, I just find my own level and let others find theirs. There's no sense trying to be something you're not.

Yup...that's what I do as well.

And you get ignored how often gorgeous

Oh, I do as well as everyone else.
But, thanks.

5. Be respectful of others.

As a new member this would be my only rule, if I were the in the position to set rules.

Call me a sarcasm snob but if you need to be told it's sarcasm, what's the point.

It's for the fucking idiots of the board.

And to the Butt Hurt subject: Sarcasm should always be used. You find out who to avoid on the threads and who's worth engaging.

Dood, I have such a bro crush on you now, you can make my butt hurt anytime!

Some sarcasm is hard to read, especially in the virtual world. When you start mixing word play into it, that can make it even harder to understand for some.

At least that's my experience. I'm here to have fun, not piss people off.

I'd do you.
(hmmm was that sarcastic or not?)

Yup...that's what I do as well.

And to all my PM or soon to be PM friends. I always reply at the top of the PM message not the bottom. As someone who uses lit via mobile devices, scrolling down to the bottom of a long exchange is tiring. Can we all agree to respond on the top?

Just delete all but the very last quote or even snip it right down to the key words. That way the recipient gets a bit of a clue what you're replying to. It's just idleness to leave a whole string of quotes and it uses up the world's resources of bytes, even if you are replying at the top. Bytes don't grow on trees, you know.

Oh the joys of fucking like an idiot. There is really nothing that compares.

Now what about multiple replies in a single post , no offense Pork, do we love them or hate them?

This is why I post stalk you.

Better than one person making individual replies and taking up the whole thread, me thinks.

 

[ChainedUp]

But the space is taken up either way. Plus, if my reply is in the middle, I might miss it.

Especially when they are posting like a bored idiot.

Meh I'd rather see one post responding to three people that can be ignored, than a stream of posts clogging up most of a page.

I concur

Multi quote is the way to go

Strongly agree.

 

[sereneone4u]

Strongly agree.

When a thread is really moving it can be hard to do.

One can be responding to a person and then there be a couple more responses.

Especially with the horrible Lit lag lately.

I informed my doctor about my Lit Lag. He told me it was all in my head, take two aspirin, and never call him again.

Since our love might be forbidden, I'm going to double down and break the unwritten rule of sending you an unsolicited scrotum shot. I used the zoom to make them look larger than a peanut. You're welcome.

 

[ChainedUp]

The jury speaks, I hereby will embrace the multiply reply posts. Any previous disdain for such behavior is regrettable.

 

[luvthedesserts]

Here's one that I enjoy breaking. I assume I do anyway. What are the rules for thread creation?

 

[ChainedUp]

That is beyond the scope of this thread

 

[Aquagal]

This is becoming the Festivus Pole for Lit

What about emoticons. I've been accused of over ing. I mostly use it to make sure the reader knows I'm not all super serious about my post. But I realize overuse can take away from that impact. Thoughts?

I think too many emoticons can give me a big

Doesn't equal one .
