thanks, i actually just figgured that out before returning to this thread to reply to myself and have a solution for anybody else who might be wondering about that.

Here's one for ya tecoyah. This question was on a philosophy test in my university. The question was only one word, "Why?". Only one student got the answer correct, what was his answer?

I had the same question in my one and only philosophy course.

I wrote "Why not?" and got a half mark.

My buddy wrote "42" and got a .75 mark.

No idea what or if something was correct.



-edit-... and then I realized this wasn't in nonsense...

tecoyah

Because all thinking creatures must question......

Hi all. i just joined and trying to get used to the idea of forum chat. one thing i cant fidure out is what do the diffent shapes and colours of the envelopes beside the thread titles mean?

the tree will create sound waves. does that count?

spectre

It depends on what forum style you have, but for the most part it's:

New posts
Hot thread with new posts
No new posts
Hot thread with no new posts
Thread is closed
You have posted in this thread

Or you can scroll down to the bottom of the forum and there will be a key on the left.

Not entirely,there are those who are....noticed for excellent contribution, and are rewarded with early membership. Just as there are a few that are...shall we say, not working towards the benefit of our community, and will likely never have an avatar, let alone access to the more personal parts of TFP. The staff attempts to be somewhat selective when it comes to hidden aspects of the Forums, in an attempt to retain a safe and comfortable atmosphere, inside the doors.

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?

tecoyah

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.

mister_me

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.

Cadwiz

POINTS! - We don't need no stinking points.

Just hangout, have fun, and PARTICIPATE!

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?

tecoyah

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

What is the "avatar" and how do we get it?

Cadwiz

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.
