Post by: birol on Oct 28, 2003, 02:37 PM
Obviously new board means new restrictions.

Oh no, only four  :) allowed.  That just isn't right.  You should be able to  :)  all you want.  This limiting  :) has got to stop.  We need more cheerful people in the world, not sad ones. ;)

30 second rule, Now the 4 smile rule.

That does it, I'm protesting too. [:(]
I won't be back til Mr B. Fluffington is Happy!

Cause you know what they say..........
"If Mr B. Fluffington isn't happy, Then nobody is happy, cause he won't quit whinning."

So that's it....... I'm protesting CYA

So if I use 4  :)  in my post and your quote me, then you can't use any  :)  in your response.  That just isn't fair. :(  :D

And great I got caught with the more than 4 images and the 30 second rule. This is really unacceptable !

How come you are the only one finding out the hidden rules? :confused:  ;)  :)  :D

I used exactly 4 smiles and waited more than 30 seconds to make this reply.

Post by: moderator1 on Oct 28, 2003, 07:41 PM
OK, 4 did seem a little low so I made it six, but that does include a quote.  ;)  Remember, you can edit the smilies out of the quote to get yours back. :D

I'm glad to see we are looking deeply into the posibilities of this new software, trying to make it better for the users :rolleyes:

Let me know of other things you find :confused:

If you remember on the old board, when it was slow some folks would click the post button a couple of times, then they had posted multiple copies of the same message.

On this board we have the ability to limit how often a member makes a post.  The default is 30 seconds.

Funny, Birol is the only one to find it :D
Title:
Post by: moderator1 on Oct 28, 2003, 08:22 PM
Another thing new to the board is the editing time.  If you post a message and then notice you misspelled something, you have 5 minutes to go back and correct it without the "edited by" tag being placed on the post.

I knew the reason for this ..... Can we decrease it to say 15 seconds or so , so I will stop whining, or is 30 seconds the minimum  ?

And the restrictions for the emoticons, to save bandwidth ? If not can we remove them please ?

I am sure others found it too, they are too polite to mention it  :D

Post by: B-flat on Oct 28, 2003, 10:35 PM
Hmmmmm, some people have sharp eyes and a gift for figuring out the rules.:D  So, now we are up to 6 :)  and can delete the :)  out of quotes in order to get back the number of :) that can be used.  So there will be lots of editing the:)  out of quotes from now on.;)

You shouldn't have told him that you can edit them out.  Now he will not be stopped. ;)  :)

Pat Moderator1 on the back when he removes the restrictions  :D

Birol if they remove the restrictions you will never stop. :)  

Do what this says and you will feel better.

Take your right arm and place it on your left shoulder.


Take your left arm and place it on your right shoulder.

You should have both hands on the opposite shoulders now


Squeeze real hard.  You have just given yourself a hug from me. :)

Not a pat on the back, but close. :D

Post by: B-flat on Oct 29, 2003, 08:36 PM
birol,

It is rather slow to put the emoticons in a post, so that will give you something to do while the 30 second rule is in effect.;) :D
Title:
Post by: angelsmom10 on Oct 30, 2003, 07:47 AM
Just take your bood pressure between posts - OH wait that won't work -- his pressure will go up when thinking about the 30 second rule;) .
 
Maybe the best thing to keep the BP down would to leave the board so he wouldn't have to deal with the restrictions:D
 
OH wait that won't work either - we'd MISS HIM!!!

Post by: tlhdoc on Nov 01, 2003, 06:55 AM
I know another restriction. :p

ONLY 10,000 words per post,

 but you don't have to worry about that one.  You don't write long post. :D

You asked a question and I answered it and now you are getting bent out of shape over it.  Geesh what do you want??? :confused:   If I didn't tell you about the rule you would get mad. :mad:   So I tell you and you still get snippy.  What am I to do? :confused:   It is so hard to be your friend.

I don't think you are telling the truth!  They would not let you use a computer if you were having a heart attack.  You are using your fragile health to get pity, but it will not work on us.  We know what you are doing. ;)  :)
