Post Them Here

So I finally found a copy of a thread I made in August of 2004. I'm posting it again because I want to archive it. I had a few amendments that I later posted, but I guess I didn't save those.

This was when totse really sucked.

K guys, there are few things that have been bothering me. I can be somewhat of a neurotic mod so I'm letting it all hang out here. These are just some suggestions and are by no means new "rules". [Edited for Glitter]

1. I think most will agree on this: Make the topic title relevent to what the thread is about. Ambiguous topics such as "What should I do?" and "WTF?" leave no hint as to what the thread is about and does not make anyone want to click on it. I'm not asking for a summary here, just a general direction as to what the hell I'd be getting myself into if I click on your thread. The more specific you can be with the least amount of words is a plus in my book.

2. "Owned", "pwned" or any other one word, repetative, unnecessary, and uh... un-contributive (yes I'm making up words here) posts are annoying. Granted, it's not so big a problem that I have to go deleting all one word posts but really.. come on guys: PWNED! is freaking annoying. On occassion, when used right, it can be sort of funny but it's WAY overused.

3. Archived Threads: S&A archives are pathetic. Mainly due to the fact that Wintermute, Spiffy, and myself never archived anything despite all the great threads we've had. Cindy was the one who took initiative and more than once I've linked to a certain, "Oral sex is sex" thread. So, obviously, a more comprehensive archive would help a lot in diminishing the number of topics that come up once a week. That being said, when I do archive something, I'm going to delete any extraneous posts in the thread. Don't get your panties in a bunch when you see your "PWND!" reply to a birth control thread no longer exists. I deleted it, future totse generations don't need to be reminded of its idiotic ancestors. If it seriously detracts from the threads "flow", it's gone.

I *did* have a semblence of a FAQ on Zok's site that I've linked to a few times. Don't know where it went; I have it saved so here's the important parts:

Your thread will be locked or moved if you: 1. Ask us to rate you. If you want to be told you're ugly there's already a thread that I'll bump every once in a while so you can post your mug in there.

2. Are using totse as a dating service. Not only will you look like a desperate fool, you'll be flamed and still be jackin' it tonight.

3. Ask for naked pictures of posters. Totse isn't into the whole kiddie porn thing.

4. Are bitching about your other closed thread.

5. Ask for free porn links or passwords. This isn't Porn and Affection! The Sex Archives are your friend.

6. Ask an idiotic question that can easily be Googled. For example, threads like, "What's a clit?" and "Who's a Grafenburg?" will be locked with a link that you should have seen in the FAQ.

7. Lie about your 9 inch e-penis and ask us if it's normal for a 13 year old. You'll get a link to Suzie's Penis FAQ and a flame.

Annoying Threads:Threads asking opinions on breast size, shaved v. unshaved, cut v. uncut are annoying.Threads bragging about how many bitches you fucked last night are annoying and not impressive.

Nothing's set in stone, mind you. These are loose guidelines. The amount of repetition is exhaustive and annoying. For the most part, S&A is a great forum with some awesome posters, but as Cindy has said to me before, it could be better. The last thing I want to do is be a "Nazi mod". You all can disagree and call me a cunt all you want, that's fine, but don't help deteriorate S&A and, in turn, &totse! I've been lax in the past but we've all had to bring in the reigns a little lately.

(Hence the neurotic disclaimer/forewarning)

Cindy and Pyscho: Any input, additions, subtractions are welcome.

Truth be told I'd rather *not* lock threads. The little locky thing is an eyesore!
