You will not be deleted......but you will be missed
|
Out of curiosity... What does the "Loser" title means, and how does it differ from "Banned" ?
Saw it a few times in older threads, and I don't think they were custom titles? |
Loser is someone....who not only got bannned, but managed to piss someone off along the slippery path of bannination. Think of this as an individual who was not only useless to the community, but a true detriment.

Thanks for the quick reply. |
Is there any way to check your points or know how close you are to your advancements.
Also, do you guys actually check every post or how does your scale work. |
POINTS! - We don't need no stinking points.
Just hangout, have fun, and PARTICIPATE! |
Quick lesson
Quote:
There are no points....but as mentioned inumerable times....quality is extremely important when posting. I took the liberty of giving you a quick review.....let us just say this: "Nice Tits" does not a quality post make. 20 posts is far below the level where we even consider looking at evaluation for full membership. We look at outstanding posts, and accumulated pointless posts. If the scales lean one way or the other......membership is granted or denied. My advice: Use more than three words in your replys Spend a little time in General discussion You will get there if you become involved |
I got a couple
1. When will the Cubs win the World Series? 2. When will the Cubs even get into a World Series? 3. When will the Vikings win the SuperBowl? 4. When will the Iowa Hawkeyes win a national championship (in anything other than Wrestling)? 5. Am I predestined to live a winless life? 6. What is sex like with another human? 7. Is it wrong to get it on with your sisters cat while shie is tied up in the corner? 8. Are Randy Moss and Sammy Sosa gay lovers? 9. Would you like to have sex with my sisters cat? 10. Why? |
1) 2012
2) 2012 3) 2008 4) never 5) No....but you are unlikely to better yourself due to lack of self esteem 6) Emotionally draining, Physically satisfying, spiritually enlightening 7) Yes 8) This is only likely in your own fantasy world 9) No.....and you seem to misinterpret the term "Pussy" 10) I find Human companionship to be enough, for my physical needs As a side note......You really need to get out more Zach |

if i add a person/buddy to my ignore list i know that i'll be unable to see thier posts when i view a forum but can that person see MY posts?

.....yes.......

What is the "avatar" and how do we get it?
|
The avatar is the little picture under some members user name. You get it after enough meaningful participation.
|
I've seen reference to this a couple times but I don't know what it is. What is an internet troll? what is trolling? does anyone know anything on online etiquette thats worth checking out?
|
A troll is someone who looks for arguments/flamewars online. It is a bit of a dual meaning. First: you go 'trolling' when you are fishing, slowly crusing with your bait dragging behind waiting for a bite, much as people write inflamatory posts and wait for someone to take the bait and continue the argument. Second: trolls are stupid ugly beasts with thick skin. Much as internet trolls are not easily offended and are usually stupid beasts.
Also, drop the term 'netiquette' into a search engine... I seem to think that once found me various resources worth checking. |
nice, thank you sir
|
Not a big deal, just wondering, but does entries in your journal or comments on other people's count towards your post count? Just wondering because I am semi-close to an avatar I think, but whatever, it doesn't matter.
I just like the journal and reading others the best, but if it doesn't count, oh well. Thanks in advance |
Nope, they don't count hambone...
|
Thanks Averett. That's what I figured.
Oh well, just takes longer :) |
I was wondering I have surpassed the 250 mark to recieve an avatar, but I haven't (unless I read the rules wrong). Was wondering if any of the moderators could fix this or let me know the 411.
|
drakers. I believe in the rules they say that they have to be 250 quality posts, so that makes me think once you cross the amount, they do a quick review of the content of your posts before opening up the avatar option.
Mods, is this correct? |
That would be incorrect. In reality.....should a member contribute to this community in an exeptional manner they may be evaluated at any time, After one month on the boards.Each user of these forums is "Checked Out" before full membership is granted.
Give it a couple weeks drakers......and we shall see. |
thanks for responding...I shall wait in anticipation.
|
If ya don't mind me asking.. how do you 250 times in 2 weeks?
Were they mostly intelligent posts with something interesting to say? If so, then thank you. If not, then keep wonderin' about that avatar. |
Do you get the option of a custom title at the same time as being granted a custom avatar, or are they separate privileges?
|
non inclusive...............membership has its privledges
|
What do you mean? Membership of what?
|
There are several levels of participation attained at TFP. Some of the levels are attained automatically through a formula built into the code of the forum software. Some are given as a reward to those contributors who show the maturity and respect needed to interact as part of the community Membership. The latter are not automated and must be turned on after careful evaluation of posts, and consideration of history.
|
Ah yes. I've already been granted access to the "Hidden Boards," and I saw today that I am able to have a custom avatar (yay!). So is the custom title the last privilege awarded?
If so, I await it with eager anticipation. |

|
Actually............I think we can do without your contributions, both monetary and intellectual. That was a truly insightful First post.

how is making quality posts "jumping through hoops"? Is it so hard for someone to carry on an intelligent discussion? There are WAY too many topics on this board for it to be considered a challenge to take part in discussions. I really wonder about people sometimes :confused: |

looking for a little help
a wee question, This is probably not the right termonology but you should get my drift. If i was to go into a discussion room and contributed to the discussion is there a quick and easy way to go back to the discussion so i can continue or do i have to find it all over again like i am going to have to do to see if anyone has replied to this confused mess. thanks.

thanks tecoyah, for the intro and the riff both. Now I'll do my thing and organize a little bit of space time and confront some systems with my perceptions. Or head over to the "whuzzup" forum and see what can be dummied down to my particular favorite flavours of paplum. Or whatever.

I started to make alot of posts in such a short time so i can get my avatar.
However, i started liking this site. Is that bad? Am i starting to like TFP? Am i enjoying posting my ideas? Where is the world going? |
I don't understand the theory of just posting to get an avatar for no reason. An avatar isn't that big of a deal.
0energy0.. where is the world going? That I don't know but I'm glad you're starting to like the TFP.. it's a great place to be. |
Quote:
As most here are aware, that is not the way to gain membership.In fact it often delays the flipping of the switch. It is helpful to understand that this is not like most forums, we do not use Bots to track our membership.....we use a staff of Humans and track the Quality of posting from Everyone. PLease keep this in mind in the future as it will likely benefit us all. |
ahhh, but as you can see...my posts are quality....well most of them

Whatever happened to the section with art work of naked women?

Hey there. I'm relatively new, but wondering exactly why one would get banned? Is inactivity a reason to get banned?
|
No.....disrespect is the number two reason....spamming #1
|
I see that 500 posts qualifies one for a custom user title...I have made just over that now, mostly of decent quality, yet I don't see how to change my title. Please, can I change it, pretty please? I have a personal dislike of being labeled an "Addict."

Congrats Squish......I was gonna change it for you, to (Free of Addiction) but.....thought better of it....heh
|
Hey im new here and im having trouble getting an avatar, I goto the 'edit avatar' window but it doesn't allow me to get one. Help would be appreciated
|
You have quite a ways to go before you earn your Avatar.....perhaps a quick read of the stickys would be helpful......or just of this thread

Quality pics to post, but a quandry...
I have photos of famous paintings.
Chegall Monet Van Gough Matisse Pollack Picasso I saw these while touring the National Gallery in Ottawa, and I took pictures to share. Problem: In Tilted Artowrk, it says original work only. I have never pretended to be as talented as Monet. In Tilted Photography, although these are MY pictures, am I allowed to post photos of other works? Aha! Not nearly as clear as I once thought. Help Tecoyah! |
Yes....you are allowed to post "your" photographs in Photography.
|
BigBen931, I think the exhibiting of others artwork to be kind of a 'grey' area. Quite possibly we in the photo forum would rather see your original and unique views of perhaps, the museum the works were housed in, or the neighborhood housing the museum, or even the folks you visited the place with.
While I never turn down a chane to view such masters as the ones you had a chance to see, I really enjoy the opportunity to admire photographers original compositions. |
thanks for the heads up. I really thought that was the case.
I think they should go into artwork, because they are art. Who wants to see a photo of a painting in Tilted Photography? You know where I am going to put them? In the regional forum, CANADA, since it is the National Gallery! |

Hi tecoyah, I've heard little bits around the site that this used to be a 'titty board' type of place, are there any links or something around here that tells of the journey or evolution that has made TFP what it is today?
(This is of course an assumption based on a few comments, so please forgive me if I am incorrect or this is inappropriate) |
Seeker ... and you will find your answer here:
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=7767 and as for the Titty Board... http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=71603 |
Is there any gay forums?
|
Sexuality,....and Living would be the spots. Nothing specific to Gays....as you will find we dont need to define each other in such a way here. Everyone is who they are regardless of label and all respect others. You can post anywhere the subject fits,just make sure you read the rules, and have a blast.
|
Can Rookie's start new threads, if so, how?
|
yes rookie's can start new threads. At the top left of each forum you should see a button that reads 'New Thread'. Simply click on it and the rest is up to you :D
|
I have a feeling you're going to yell at me and tell me that I should search or find it myself, but there is so much discussion about this issue on so many super long threads that I would really just like to ask here
Other than naked pictures, what is there to be had once you get upgraded? NO, I'm not looking for porno, I'm curious as to what else there is to be had. YES I am interested in talking to people online in a forum-like environment. Finding free porn on the net is like finding cow shit on a dairy farm anyways. |
The depths of conversation expand dramatically when full access is granted. We are careful in upgrade due to the extent of true communication that can be found in these boards, and work very hard to keep these areas free of immature debate, and those who fail to understand what it means to contribute to a community.
The actual content is something you may see for yourself at some point....but it is not for me to paint a picture of it. I will say this.... No one has been dissapointed at gaining full membership....no one. |
I was watching something on TV last night about pre-historic art.
There was a bit about some fairly recently discovered #12,000 year old carved columns but I didn't catch the name of the place. It was two words. First word begins with 'G' and is fairly long. The second sounds like "Tepê" G--------- Tepê? |

And this is the link to the BBC Website I've not trawled through it all to find the answer yet, but I have kicked myself for totally forgetting to watch it last night. :hmm: |
Yes, that's the show Daniel_. No mention of the place on the website though.
It's also thought to be one of the first farm-like settlements in the world. |
I see there's a Ladie's Lounge. Where's the Men's Lounge? :cool:

okay, so i joined this forum in hopes of expanding my horizons and maybe getting a little advice. some of the threads are similar to what i'm looking for, but fairly older. proper etiquette... do i post my question under an older thread or start a new one that's similar to one in the past?
thank you in advance, answer gurus. :D |
Start a new one if the information you need is not in the old stuff.....just let people know you looked.

This has been answered many times, but a little perspective : The ratio of male to female on this board is very high, and often, any predominantly male oriented thread will get enough feedback and responses from male posters despite its location on the board. Because the number of women is smaller, it helps our threads from getting buried among all the posts to have them in a centrally located place. |
I put the seat up for you
This thread reminded me of the time that I went to a party that was being hosted by an alternative lifestyles group. The party was held in a gay club, which was filled to capacity with all types of people and genderbenders. The kicker was that there were 3 bathroom stalls in one uni(everything)sex bathroom.
As I waited in line to relieve my bladder there were several gay men ahead of me and as one of them departed the stall he chuckled and said "I put the seat down for you dear". I laughed and said thank you. Not to be outdone, knowing that most of club was filled with men I put the seat up before I vacated the stall and said to the next person in line "oh, don't worry I put the seat up for you ;).

avatar? its says do not use avatar, when i go to click this off so that I can have an avatar, it wont let me.

They you for your response to the last question. Now, I am curious about something on TFP. Why aren't the locked threads deleted?
|
We tend to leave closed threads up , so that the community can understand the reasons for closure. This not only helps to set the standard, but also tends to send a bit of a hint if needed to the member(s) that may have caused the thread to Die. We try very hard to be transparent in policing this project....as in the long run, open communications are really what will define what this place becomes.
Call it a tool of our evolution. |
I have some tech questions. When I look at my own posts, the search finds that I have made 56 posts. However, when I look at the rest of the profile, it says, Poppinjay as made 33 posts. I can read all 56 posts so I know they exist. Why does the other count stand at 33 (and has been standing at 33 for a while)?
|
Did you make some of those posts in the titty board? They don't count towards your post count... at least I don't think they do anymore.
|
I've never made a post on the titty board. I made one post a year and a half ago when I joined and intended to participate. All the rest have come since I actually started participating a month ago.
Most of my posts are in NONSENSE, does that make a difference? It may be a plot to keep me from putting up an avatar of me going down on Phyllis Diller. Which is understandable. |
