Please shut up, yes? I see you have lots of more posts than I do, and I think that you don't know what is forum spam...Your posts are useless even more than mine. You enter a topic, and say, "ooops, wrong topic for me, going out" or something. Please

Haha that's hilarious

Do give a little detail. A noob means you don't know the foru rulles and if you are a expert you know every forum rulles

Post by **Bojan** » 22 Mar 2005, 13:26

Knowing the forum rules does not make on an expert.

Dragon-of-Rune · Post by **Dragon-of-Rune** » 22 Mar 2005, 13:29

Bojan what does make someone an expert.

As Bojan said it all depends on how one defines expert. The term "xpert"could mean alot of things to alot of different people. Same goes for a noob or whatever else.

BTW, I read some thread on the previous page that said you could tell a noob by how much they post,well tell me how that is. Especially when that person(ME) or anyone else doesn't get on all the time. Only thing that means is that they probably don't have enough time to go searching through all the threads to post their opinions or their knowledge of those posts.

One last thing, to define what does expert mean, ASK the person who used the term. Then they can tell you what it means to them and then you can see if that applys to you or not. Cause like i said before the term expert or noob is relative, in other words, it is subject to interpretation when the term is not defined.

Don't criticize(sic) me for repeating myself, some people have to read (or be told) over and over before they understand what is being said.

Do you really think of yourself as a newbie? Surely NO

EmptyWords wrote:how can you be a master at being at a forum?? it makes no sense to me. its not like its a skill, that you can post more accurately?? please elaborate..

Yeah you can improve yourself as a forum user!!
IMO, an expert should:

- Follow all the rules
- Talk about interesting, useful things
- Post always in the right section
- Create new topics just when necessary
- Try to help other members
- Treat other users friendly
- Accept his own mistakes
- Learn to edit his posts -->

@ DoR
- Kiss up to the moderators at least once in a lifetime

- Be ready to learn new things the others can teach him
- and more things I dont remember...

Uhm I was cosidered a spammer but that wasnt my objective... What is the benefit of having a "fat" postcount??

This is actually the 1st forum I have ever participated in, and I had to learn the basic rules within time

Plus English is not my 1st language!
Now Im a better user, hence my vote (expert)

Although Im far of being perfect!

That's why i am a moderate user not a expert i forget 2 rulles number 8 (and number 9 for now)

EDIT

: @206P if you are a moderate user then why are you breaking the basic rule off the signature size

vellu · Post by **vellu** » 22 Mar 2005, 23:57

Moderate I guess. I do follow this forum quite actively (check for new post a couple of times per day) but I don't participate in everything. Usually just things that interest me. Haven't started that many topics, nothing major anyways.

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 23 Mar 2005, 00:00

well I did start of the "kiss up to the moderators here..." thread, so what does that make me? A good kisser upper?

wowirace · Post by **wowirace** » 23 Mar 2005, 01:09

okay, well..there could be a person that knows all the forum rules, but that doesn't make him an expert. that just makes him a good "memorizer."

btw, i dont spam that much..sometimes i do it by mistake, but i never do it purposely...my posts are mostly always lengthy and have meaning, so dont call me a spammer. btw, bogan: who are you to call me a spammer?

you're the one going around spamming;

example: "oops this is the wrong topic for me. i might offend someone." ----"Death" thread

well, did anyone say anything about that? NO. so why am i being classified as the spammer...btw, the only reason im saying this is because im NOT a spammer....i actually say useful things, so its not classified as SPAM.

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 23 Mar 2005, 10:14

wowirace, I was not really spamming, because I was trying to introduce a slight amount of humour, and at the same time I gave a slight impression of my opinion on the topic.

And I only did it ONCE

wowirace · Post by **wowirace** » 23 Mar 2005, 22:21

okay...sure, ONLY once...in your WHOLE...1 year here? i dont think so..whatever, i dont care, but im not a spammer, and this thread is useless because wtf are you a n00b at? rules? well, that doesnt make sense...anyway, i think you can be a n00b AND an expert at the same time.

Dragster · Post by **Dragster** » 23 Mar 2005, 23:48

BTW, I'm apologizing for all topics I ressurected from dead, I didn't look at the post date

I think he meant EXPERT, as in your knowledge of the forums. You're able to navigate all the forums without making a new post by asking this & that. Basically you're good in using the functions of the forum.

Dragster · Post by **Dragster** » 24 Mar 2005, 00:00

What is an average or moderate user then

Andre_online · Post by **Andre_online** » 24 Mar 2005, 00:01

Just a few ranks lower to Expert respectively. Not sure how to explain it in proper English...

ViperJay · Post by **ViperJay** » 24 Mar 2005, 00:04

what kind of forum user?
well....oh, so...i'm in a forum?...really?...a forum?....OMG...noooooooooooooooooooo!!!

moderate? don't know what you mean with that btw

wowirace · Post by **wowirace** » 24 Mar 2005, 00:31

well, nobody is THAT smart, that they dont ask questions (other than Bill Gates), so i guess the expert option shouldn't be there.
