can someone keep track and put everything in a master document that I can work off of?
Lyra, sounds like you're on top of it, yes?

I'm doing etiquette, but I think tina's doing the FAQ. We might want to bring the guacamole posts to her attention.
Things we can probably stand to edit out:
However, newbie mistakes are usually corrected gently and informally.
(This will be replaced by the guacamole section.)
If you do accidentally post a spoiler, please either delete it or white it out. If you don't, a Stompy Foot may do it for you.
(Combining with other spoiler bullet.)
The Feet can delete any post at any time or refuse service to anyone, but they use their super-powers for good.
(It's cute, but I don't think it says anything not said in the rest of the bullet.)
Just FYI,
(Unnecessary)
and many posters from all over the world. So read the FAQ, as it will acquaint with you with the personality of the board.
(Seems redundant with other content.)

Can I suggest that we put in the following (italicized) since I suspect it will be a way it's also referred to:
"Tripping into the guacamole" or "guac-ing" is Buffista expression for posting in a way that draws attention to yourself in a spectacularly unwanted way.

And wrod, Wolfram, about seeing the moral indignation in my posts there. I was with you in the guac over the war thread. I remember being a pissy nitpicker, but I'd forgotten how many times I posted, beating the same dead horse.
IIRC bicyclops, you were the one who helped stop the raving Wolfram. Something about it not being worth the hurt feelings. So. Damn. True.
I had a nice long rant ready to go, but now that the kerfuffle seems to have died down, I think it might end up in the SIDS file.

Actually it's an acronym of Allyson's Shit I Didn't Say, but like in "AIFG" YSorFMV.

If I only had a brain...
Damn. I flashed on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and thought you were being witty about a thought that died a-borning. Never mind.

What is even happening?
Well and it kinda is, Betsy. My LJ is full of SIDS, but it's posted under the me-only setting.

Fellow stompies: I'll take care of the next F2F thread.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Thanks, Jon. I haven't even been online for a thread-birthing since who knows when.
