The Metrodance Guidelines for New and Established Posters.

[Metrodance]

Guideline 32: GLBT Forum.
It used to be a small area of truth and wit but sometimes it does lose a little of its former integrity. Still, there are glimmers of what it used to be and could be again. For those who are not afraid to venture from the GB, I suggest this as an interesting and informative port of call. Particularly if you’re a sailor.

Guideline 33: Political Threads.
If you enjoy the occasional informed and balanced political debate, perhaps appreciating an alternative point of view and another’s eloquence – you’re in the wrong place. A quick read of the titles of some political threads will confirm that observation.
It is unfortunate as cyber-sex between an extreme right wing storm-trooper and a left-wing intellectual flip-flopper could really make the sex sparks fly!

Shut up Dix.

Shut up Dix.

Damn! I’ve been found out! How did you know my previous name was Dixie Cupola?

 

[Oscuridad]

You've covered trolls, but what about the finer points of Etrolliquette?

 

[Metrodance]

.......what about the finer points of Etrolliquette?

Please explain.

I see now where Guideline # 16 comes from. Were they mean to you?

 

[Debbie]

So far one of my favourite guidelines is number 17.

I look forward to seeing what guidelines will be next.

Some people can be so very cruel, can't they?

I really have no idea what ****** means by Dix. It was an attempt a smart and witty reply. I think I failed.

Fun is the key, as it is in life. We all have different requirements and that is half the fun!

 

[Oscuridad]

Please explain.

Say you're having a casual neverending thread, and you find yourself suddenly besieged by trolls.

Many schools of thought address the topic of etrolliquette, or 'what to do when you meet a troll'.

I would like the definitive guideline, just to see if they mesh with the operating principles of TrlHmr, of which I am founder.

 

[Metrodance]

But does one actually meet a troll? In most cases one is not properly introduced.
Example -

This is Metrodance who enjoys wine, spirited conversations and the theatre…

And this is Troll who enjoys loping aimlessly around the board, spraying flecks of salvia over threads.​

Surely you were here in his time.

Metrodance,
Could you possibly offer guidelines for those of us trying desperately to get in the pants of nubile women on the board?

A good point.

Perhaps not so much meet, as encounter, run across, or perhaps trod-in.

I await the guidelines.

Always so pragmatic.

*applause*

 

[Oliver Clozoff]

Who is this mysterious metrodance?

And why would someone with such a keen sense of bulletin board phenomenology have picked such a cheesy name?

He(she?) is an enigma wrapped in a riddle shrouded in mystery wearing a fake mustache and glasses.

 

[Oscuridad]

I should hope not.

Fake moustaches are so gauche.

Yes, I was. I assumed that ***** wasn't being so obvious. Foolish, I know.


Never.

Metrodance,

Unfortunately, I don't think that's within the scope of the guidelines or my own talent.

 

[bg23]

And why would someone with such a keen sense of bulletin board phenomenology have picked such a cheesy name?

See, Metro?

Subjective.

Yes, I was. I assumed that ***** wasn't being so obvious. Foolish, I know.

You do that a lot.

 

[Metrodance]

Yes, I know. It's either a failing or an easy excuse.

 

[Metrodance]

Guideline 34: Snobbery of the General Board.
There are always posters who believe that their forum is better than any other. Some GB posters make disparaging comments about certain other forums, in particular Amateur Pics, Personals and The Playground . It is clearly based on the self-deception that they are better, more worldly, wittier and better looking than anyone else in any other forum. Sadly, they may even believe that the GB is the pinnacle of wit and intelligent thought on Literotica and, possibly, the entire internet.

Guideline 35: Hypocrisy.
We are all hypocrites. Some in a small and vague way, others with thunder and lightning. Get over it as it is a question of semantics, not morality.

Guideline 36: Alt.
An alternative identity that established posters use to:
1. Act like a troll (see Guideline 31), usually stalking a specific poster.
2. Test the strength of a current on-line relationship.
3. Adopt an entirely new and different persona.

 

[Metrodance]

Guideline 37: Titles.
One a poster has achieved 1000 posts, they can alter the title that appears under their name. (Note: This number have altered during the recent changes).

The title can be used to display a current frame of mind, a current intimate relationship, humour or an obscure literary/musical/classical reference.

Some are beyond normal comprehension and others carry as much subtly as being hit in the face by the flying contents of a bucket of seagull droppings.

 

[Oscuridad]

A good point.

Perhaps not so much meet, as encounter, run across, or perhaps trod-in.

I'm still waiting.

Though I did quite enjoy 37.

Actually, it's "Internets."

Not a big deal, but we are sticklers for spelling here.

We could debate that but I can't see the point.

If only Spelling Buddy was here to assist!
