The Metrodance Guidelines for New and Established Posters.

Metrodance said:
Almost a cruel barb but the use of lanciepants defused it. I think the reference in Guideline 20 to imagination is relevant.
It's okay, I'm sure lanciepants still considers it a barb for me to compare him to you.

Temper, temper.

Can I take you back to Guideline 2. Newbies.?

There are those who see the term (newbies) as an honourable one and astute established posters will always welcome new blood.

It pays to read before posting silly little replies. I suppose that ought to be a guideline but that would take the fun out of watching people make unintentional idiots of themselves.

And to pre-empt the obvious remarks – I enjoy intentionally being an idiot occasionally.
Sorry, I wasn't addressing you with that part of my post. What I said wasn't silly, I read everything just fine, and have the right to take offense and say so. And guess what? Still, no one gives a damn except for the person I was addressing. She will rip me a new one, thinking anything she says to me makes a damn to me.

I have never seen so many people claiming to be over 18. You'd damn sure never know it.

That was slightly better. One could say that you have improved over time.

If that's the case, this part of the thread has served a compelling and useful purpose. We should both be proud.
 
Guideline 26: Lit Persona 2.
Tough Bitch – always cynical with heavy sarcasm that borders on cruelty, can be either male or female but is predominantly female (or appears to be) and can be very fierce. Sometimes, can surprise and be very tender, usually when someone is in trouble.

You should cover all the personas under one guideline. 26A) Tough Bitch, 26B) Moody Male, 26C) Whimpering Whiner, etc etc.

i'd find it disappointing if the rest of the fifty guidelines were merely listings of the lit personas.
 
I love this thread, educational, entertaining, revealing, inspirational and FREE!


It is free isn't it?

Have you been peeking?

Happy to receive suggestions and/or Guidelines.

Heh. Did I guess your next one?

Try the Schizophrenic Psycho as well. " I love you! No I hate you! I never said that! Yes, I said it!"
 
Guideline 27:Quotation.
Used with care, a useful tool to amplify replies. Used constantly to quote entire posts, it can annoy many posters. Therefore, it is still a useful tool.
 
Guideline 28: Dancing Banana.
An abomination! A bobbing insult to the eye, it is a masturbatory symbol of puerility and poor choices! Don’t use it – ever!

I love you.

I almost want to emoticon at you, just to show how much.

What about devils and cats? What about them? Is this :devil: or this :catroar: less of an insult than this :nana: ?

Why do you hate it so? It seems cruel to get worked up over it.

What's your guideline on :rolleyes: ?
 
I was waiting for the bloody banana to get The Metrodance Treatment.


*doing my own version*

Since you don't like the dancing banana, how about this one?


I could have lived a long, happy and meaningful life without having seen that....
 
Guideline 29:On-Line Relationships.
The primary reason why many people visit the board.
Friendship Friendships are many and are, often, unlikely combinations of personalities. Some are very obvious and open, others are not and it is often surprising as to exactly which lit person is friends with another. Be careful what you say about one poster to another.
Couples Flirting does not make a couple but can lead to a brief combination or, as it was once known, going steady . These relationships can be fast and furious, often over in a night or a week with all the associated drama that attends these events in real life. Jealousy can also be rampant and dangerous for the bored bystander who innocently opens his or her mouth at the inappropriate time.
Some relationships move onto real life and there are many examples of on-line relationships that have endured in real life. It’s interesting to note that, in a lot of these cases, these couples did not display their early courtship openly over the board.

Guideline 30: Lit Persona 3.
Sensitive Nice Guy Always friendly and usually helpful, the SNG posts a lot and has a few on-line friendships with women. His attempts to flirt are light hearted and no one is really sure if he will follow through. Perhaps he does and is very good at keeping secrets. That, in itself, is very rare on the board.

Sometimes I just rage at the moon and foolishness. That's all. It's a fault of mine late on stormy nights when the world appears big and heartless.

And then I just hate animated fruit!

Hold the smilies, please. Control yourself, we're both big people - no need to resort to smilies. Think of the innocents who are watching this!
 
Guideline 31: Trolls.

1. No matter the protests and the denials, trolls are always an alt.

2. The life of a troll is usually brief, although there have been exceptions to the rule.

3. Some trolls are intelligent and extremely witty and are, therefore, the most dangerous. They are also very entertaining but, unfortunately, also very rare
.
4. There are some posters, (particularly those with a rabid political bias that is usually extremely uniformed), that exhibit all the bad characteristics of a low level troll. Unfortunately, they seem to endure forever.
