Hey dudes, the website won't let me post "external links" in this section, but plenty of other people have done in their posts. Anyone know a way around this?

You have to get above a certain number of posts before you can post links, man. I think its 10 or 20.

We should really have some sort of brief FAQ that explains the ten post limit was imposed in an attempt to reduce spam.

Good idea; a "Please read this before posting" kind of thing.

yeah, i've been reluctant to let out the number as i'm afraid that spammers will then post ten bullshit posts and then post links. but i guess it's not fair to not tell people. i guess i could write an "article" in the articles section about this.

That's why I thought it was kept on the QT.....

Also do we really need a list of forum "rules" We're all dudes here and mostly keep it civil...I'm on a board where even if you say damn then you can be warned etc... They have a bunch of "prefects" that "keep order" well they do amongst the rabble but their "own kind" seem to get away with whatever they want. Do we really have to go down that road?

One of the reasons these boards work so well is the laid back attitude of everyone here...sure there are differences of opinion etc....but do we need a set of rules???

The dude would not approve! ;)

We didn't have a FAQ? Does that mean before now, nothing was FAQed?

Sorry, I had to do it.

Nothing is FAQed here, dude, nothing is FAQed ;D Maybe we need a uncomprimised FAQ first draft?
