Finally a place I can actually post a topic on ATS!

a reply to: Another_Nut

and im glad it keeps some out.. like those who think they are entitled to post any nonsense simply because they want when 20 posts seems to be a hard to hit target for them.

Hear hear!!

I think that's the first intro I've ever read where OP gets so wound up. It's hilarious

Firstly welcome to ATS.

Secondly I'd really watch that temper if I were you, or you're going to get eaten alive in the boards, just some friendly advice fro a guy who's been knocking around here for nearly 10 years.

Point taken. Hilarious to you, but you have no clue what my experiences have been like on other Internet forums.

True, I have no idea of your experiences

But I do have plenty of experience on ATS, we really are family here, and we genuinely care about our fellow members and the quality of this site.

If you ever doubt the members here take a read of This thread

If you ever have any questions feel free to U2U me and if I can I'll help out, if I can't I will probably know a member that can.

The important thing is to have fun as well.

Now go and post your first thread and make it a doozy the more you post the better you will get, and your ATS social life will start to flourish.

*Ahem* About that avatar................It makes you a lot more recognisable, mine is my Halloween avatar at the moment it's a free service some of give in order to give back to ATS, and socialise on a thread with no ego. Just members having fun. Hope to see you there soon

Obviously, I am a new member. Greetings to all.

I just found out today that I can't post a new thread topic -- anywhere -- except here. Moreover, and I may be wrong on this because I managed to find the info through a Google search given it was impossible for me, as a new member, to navigate the forum to find the info, I apparently can't create a new thread topic anywhere on ATS unless I make at least 20 replies?

I have seen forums that mandate (yes, the correct word is mandate) replying to 5 posts at the most. What's the rationale for having to reply to 20 existing posts -- other than a form of behavioral modification?

And please correct me (and I hope you do) if a new member does not actually need to reply to 20 posts before creating a new topic.

the idea is to get you acclimated to the protocols/ T&C/ and the social "ni·ce·ty" to be a valued member

n. pl. ni·ce·ties
1. The quality of showing or requiring careful, precise treatment: the nicety of a diplomatic exchange.

2. Delicacy of character or feeling; fastidiousness; scrupulousness.

3. A fine point, small detail, or subtle distinction: the niceties of etiquette.

4. An elegant or refined feature; an amenity: the niceties of civilized life.

Sure---you might likely have Earth-Shaking Revelations to enlighten us with...
but 'patience' is a virtue-- last I heard


BY THE WAY instead of using the phrase (in your words) : "...creating a new topic"
One might consider they endeavor to "Launch" a new Thread (i.e.: Topic)

You mean the "nicities" happening at this topic, where I'm apparently the only person who doesn't have proper "decorum" for the forum because I'm new, yet you see the OP is firing away, and of all things, is accusing me of being a government agent:

www.abovetopsecret.com...

Somebody correct me if it's not allowed here to disagree with the OP of a topic, in non-threatening academic fashion, and then continue to disagree in further posts with additional information.

One might also consider that the term "thread" in the English language was originally defined as a piece of string.

Just an aside...

I am having the same issue too and did some googling. I suppose that's where reading the T&C stuff comes into play.

Oh, hey

I can help with that one as someone who is accused of that myself on almost a daily occurrence.

1.) Bob and weave
2.) Never lead with your chin
3.) Take frequent breaks, just sip water never gulp.
4.) Slip the jab
5.) Jab, Jab then punch.
6.) Take nothing personal.

Did the poor guy managed to get banned all ready.

Jeez I lost my breath just reading it, great cardio.
