I have no idea what you are talking about. I have never been banned my first week.
It takes at least two.
LOL. SECOND ACCOUNTS.
This is pretty much the only message board I really go to and I'm not banned yet. This was also my first forumnessthingy
>>> They want to be part of the banned members Hall of Fame..
Because they are musical and want to be part of the band!
Oh thats right, I went there.

In group of humans, there will be a signifigant number of idiots. EoFF is no exception. So what happens is that with every batch of newbies, there are smart people who don't draw too much attention to themselves, and idiots who do. The idiots, being idiots, get banned fairly quickly, hence the skewed perspective you seem to have on newbies. With the exception of those who join purely to advertise, first-week bannings are comparitivly rare.
That, or they're second accounts. ;)
I have never been banned, but mostly because I get bored and leave before I do something *too* stupid. Also, the people that get banned like that are too cool for the rules XD
because they are inherently n00bs
and everyone knows n00bs == dumb evaluates to true
.'. they == dumb yields true
That but with a period on the end. :pQuote:

We call this natural selection.
A large chunk of them are second accounts, and we tend to find those quickly. Aside from that, the strictness of this forum makes is kinda sink or swim.
Though fatties like Shlup just float.
I think that technically counts as swimming given the standards.
I'd rather float on my fat than have to strap water wings to my spaghetti arms. :aimmad:
I like that. :up:Quote:

What is the policy on making a second account and not getting in trouble for it? Aside from, of course, the second account getting banned? Do you get a warning with your primary account? Or is it generally viewed as "lol that was funny"?
I am writing a book and the answer to this question could decide whether or not it is a 35 chapter book or a 36 chapter book.
Whether or not they get a warning, they do generally get on the staff's "annoying twit" list.
Your husband is skinnier than I am, by my recollections. :pQuote:

It's always you Raistlin. Always.
In fact I'm pretty sure I heard rumours that they're changing the name of the "Annoying Twit List" to the "Raistlin List."

On topic:
Does it really matter -why- the newbies get banned? No one really misses them anyways.
I'm actually surpised anyone even notices when another one bites Shlup's boot.
Aren't you taller though?Quote:

I don't fancy this site to the point I would reconstitute a second account if I get banned. Or I whould say, WHEN I get banned.
Thus the name.Quote:

Dear Kenji,
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!
Sincerily,
Everyone
I've gotten a warning for my two second accounts. The first one came right off as stating it was a second acount.Quote:

If your second account is pimpin, you'll get away with it.
And yes Leeza, my mind has discarded your warnings and replaced them with praise.
Still, how the hell is it always Leeza to give my serious Warnings? One EoEO ban and both Second accounts?
Everytime someone has to be mean we all call "Leeza!" and then she comes and we go back to playing cards.
Leeza likes to ride your [butt], cornycracka.:jokey:
Since when did you get acquainted with EVERYONE?Quote:

KENJI I SWEAR TO GOD I'M GOING TO BAN YOU JUST TO SEE HOW SPITED YOU CAN BE.

I really need to work on my English grammar. It's not my native language.
I knew you posted about BJ's weight before, so I did a search. BJ is 5'11" and 125 pounds. I'm 5'9", 140. oh snap :cool:Quote:

Oh, and Bunny? I have a rabbit cooking on the stove, so I better go check on it. Last time he burned. I like Cajun, though.
No wonder you always lose debates with me in EoEO. :rolleyes2Quote:

Since fat floats and sexy sinks, I'll take that as a compliment.
Weight still sinks.
You're a bit paranoid. Let it go.Quote:

very paranoid.
i didn't even notice you existed until this thread. theres nothing against you here.
Nearly everyone was once a noob but once you get past that stage of newness, you'll eventually be accepted. i dont look down on noobs unless they type stupid pointless things and will obviously get banned.
a lot of members were never really noobs. they just sort of joined and didn't make a big fuss about it and in a few months they become some of the more well known members.
You guys don't get it. He's Loony BoB's second account, trolling around and such, looking to be banned.
Nobody else would use that FUGLY chocobo avatar. I mean, liek, seriously.
This thread really went downhill after a few posts. :(
It was this one!Quote:

Yes, really. I have openly admitted, on many an occasion, that this is my second account.Quote:

You should made a newbie thread where everyone's nice and friendly! It's the only chance you'll get to see them like that!Quote:

Well let's face it: Among the FF fanbase, there are some damn annoying fanboys who just ask for it. Evidently they're not yet ready to stray from gamewinners.com or Gaia Online.

It's probably because they don't want to follow the forum rules. :mad:
Woo, we are doubleteaming Quin, Chemical. And not even the sexy kind of doubleteam.Quote:

Damn I meant to change that. This is not going well for me at all. I say ban Chemical and/or Shlup. No real reason, I just think it'd be funny. Especially when Shlup gets unbanned. That'd be Hell.
Not going to happen little man.
:cool:
Seriously, who would have the chutzpah to ban me?
I only say these things because I love you and don't want anyone to figure it out. I'd die inside if you were banned. ;)
But with Shlup it's just because she's so cool when she's all mad and insult-y. :bigsmile:
I kind of don't hate you too.
:love:
Score. *dances*
Do I get the sexy kind of doubleteam from you and Bunny now?
Get back on topic or I'll ban the lot of you!
Come on, guys. Stick to the topic. We have a PM system, in case you forgot. :cat:
EDIT: Yams! You gave me a shock! What are you doing working? :)
Ooooooh you bitch!
What's the topic again? Oh yeah...new members. I like it when new members are really cool and funny and great. Though that's kind of obvious, because nobody likes unlikable people.
EDIT: Leeza dear, please stay on topic. ;)
I think a lot of people get banned in their first week is that they don't read the rules, start fights and have no shame. Only forum I've been on before here was Neopets and that was insanely strict. Made me into a good little forum junkie. (When I can control my temper)
