4 smilie rule, Now that's just about too much! ;) :) :D :rolleyes:
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. ;)
Quote from: MtnCamper4 smilie rule, Now that's just about too much! ;) :) :D :rolleyes:
Yeah especially if you reply to a msg which has 4smilies. You can't use any more.
Seriously now, can we have this removed ?????
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

Oh, stop it Tracy !!!!
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.
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:

I can't help it if you obey all the restrictions ....... I don't see the point of them so I am complaining ..... ;)

One mans complaining is another mans whining. ;) :) :p :D
30 second rule???:confused:
Quote from: Turn Key30 second rule???: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
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
Quote from: birolI am sure others found it too, they are too polite to mention it :D
So Birol, Are you trying to say, you are the only rude one among us? :D
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. ;) :)
Quote from: tlhdocYou shouldn't have told him that you can edit them out. Now he will not be stopped. ;) :)
HA ! :p I did edit them out ! :o But I was limited to 4 ! :eek: But six is better then 4 I guess ! :rolleyes: I have no idea why we have to have limits ! It is not like we abuse the emoticons !

I am crying day and night since we got the new board. :(
I'd give you a pat on the back - but my arm isn't that long:D SORRY
Quote from: angelsmom10I'd give you a pat on the back - but my arm isn't that long:D SORRY
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
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
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!!!
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

Pick on poor old Birol, I am gonna protest you too :p
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.
....and from the queen of one liners.;) :D

Now he's going to milk the BP thing for all it's worth:rolleyes:

Moderator1 can you take it down for Birol and not the rest of us. ;) That should put him in the hospital for sure. ;) ;)

Cool, that'll work for me:D
I am writing this from the emergency ward of a hospital. I hope you are happy. ! The doctor agrees with me that moderator1 should be sued for all his belongings ! The nurse told me, I should justshutup if I can get his PU :D :D Wait wait, no new needles !!!!
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. ;) :)
Actually mod1 added more smilies for the rest of us while birol was in the hospital.:W

yeah, the nurse showed them to me :W
Nope they wouldn't let you even see the internet in the hospital, you are faking it. :J
Quote from: tlhdocNope they wouldn't let you even see the internet in the hospital, you are faking it. :J
The only way to stabilize my BP was to hook up the hospital to a T3 and give me a direct link via a laptop !
You are bad, very, very bad. They don't do that at the hospital, they do that at the computer store. :J

Well, I told them I had to connect to PUT and they understood :D
I bet your BP was so high it shorted out the internet connection. :J
Quote from: tlhdocI bet your BP was so high it shorted out the internet connection. :J
Could be ......
I have a new restriction for you. You must have at least 5 characters in your post. :eek: :U
....and at first I tried using 5 :) . It turns out that it has to be at least 5 real characters.
