I got this from another site and please, please follow this.
To identify Noobishness and, if necessary, purge yourself of the dreaded condition, please review the following Noob facts:
1. Chat speak: It is perfectly acceptable to use some chat speak in order to shorten your sentences (such as using lol instead of saying "laugh out loud"). Saying, "rofl, lol, dat was de funee doods!", however, is a sign of severe Noobishness. In that case, please learn to use proper English before posting again.
2. Not using punctuation or writing only a sentence: RPing is fun when it is engaging and interesting to read and get involved in. When everyone is posting 'one liners' it is no fun at all! Such things like: "Rustclaw said hi!" as a post are boring, and it's hard to enjoy yourself. Use PROPER GRAMMAR AND PUNCTUATION, and make your posts longer than THREE SENTENCES to avoid this sign of noobishness.
3. Hit-Ons: The idea behind this RP site is to enjoy a fantasy community and make new friends; it is quite possible you will grow to like one of our members. Coming here to hit on someone (who may not even be the right gender for you) is yet another sign of Noobishness. Please find a girlfriend/boyfriend in the REAL world!
4. Stupidity Coupled with Randomness: Being random can be fun; specific boards are devoted to asking what games or music members like; those are perfectly fine, because while they're not necessarily related to the main site itself, they're still purposeful on their own merits. Posting random phrases such as the following wherever you please disrupts the members' conversations, and generally bothers the heck out of everyone."CHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSEEE!!!" It's okay to be random; it's okay to occasionally be accidently stupid. Purposefully being stupidly random (especially in an actual RP board) can be frustrating to other members who have actual items of interest. Please just write cheese in your journal.
Remember, a Noob is someone who displays the preceding characteristics; a newbie is just someone entering the site for the first time; they are NOT the same thing. If I am offending anyone who displays the symptoms, I apologize, but urge you to please take the advice posted at the end of each symptom. Hopefully, this FAQ will help minimize Noobness on this wonderful site; that is all I ask, as it's just about my only pet peeve. Thank you for your time!
thank you,
Aurorastar and staff
