Cindy -- Did you see Ginger's post on that same topic? I think it's more concise.

There seems to be consensus to put this on the registration page, rather than the FAQ.
Right. Sir. Honey.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

What is even happening?
More concise? Than I? Pshaw.
I did see it (but thought it was further back), and wanted to support everyone. Even though this isn't email. And I'm not lurking. Ginger's is better, though. So here we are. More coffee? Thanks.
eta Pshaw, because everything goes better with Pshaw.
eta, again... Tricksey Jon. Editing out the concise comment (which I failed to quote). I already look crazy. I don't need help, silly.

Ann, that's a ferret.
No comments on the new FAQ. Other than: Thanks, tina, for your work on this!

Huh? Given that I didn't edit that out, I think you're doing a fine job of looking crazy all by your lonesome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Nice work, tina! There are (trans)scripts at [link]

Doublepost, sorry.

I think we should check with shrift to see if she's okay with linking to that in our FAQ. (Then again, she posts links on the board, so maybe there's no difference?).
Also -- is there any polite way we can ask in the FAQ/Etiquette that people not sign their posts? I do not know why it's so hard for me to scroll past, but it is.
If in Etiquette, it could read something like:
- Like all boards, we have a somewhat unique posting style. In particular, we tend to quote someone (with a > tag) when replying to them; we do not usually put names in bold; and there's no need to sign your name at the bottom of your posts, because your login appears at the top of each post. While none of these things are musts, they will make fitting in a little easier.

Yes. Yes I am.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not comfortable with that, LJ. It smacks a bit of codifying something that evolved, and will continue to. I think that mentioning we usually mark quoted content with a > (and the effect it has), but that's as far as I'd want to go.
I'm not in love with signing posts, but that doesn't extend as far as me recommending people don't do it.

I thought this as well. I know she posts links in Press, but I don't know if its is OK to make it all official in the FAQ.
Jon - is just leaving my post like that gonna work for you as far as being easy for you to work from to make changes? Should I e-mail you something? Am I making any sense?
I am working on about 3 and 1/2 hours of sleep and no coffee at the moment - so perhaps not.
