Ask us EVEN more about the forums: READ THE OP before EACH post or get BANNED. - General

[QUOTE=scout1;39474032]If I wanted to post a print article in ITH how the hell would I do so I have a scan of the pages (2 1-page articles), but with the recent rules I imagine garry wouldn't like it[/QUOTE] I believe a news article is different, just post it. A website loses out on monetization when its content is displayed elsewhere, a news article doesn't.

what would be the point of that? i'm pretty sure the new rule is to help sources get readers rather than someone just read the whole article on facepunch and never visit the source itself. [editline]4th February 2013[/editline] i need to refresh more

Is it okay to discuss drug dealing in the Drug Discussion forum? As in how to deal drugs and personal experience when you sold drugs to others? Or is that to sketchy for this forum?

If i'm aware of someone with 5~ permabanned alts should i notify a mod?

[QUOTE=Iago;39476201]Is it okay to discuss drug dealing in the Drug Discussion forum? As in how to deal drugs and personal experience when you sold drugs to others? Or is that to sketchy for this forum?[/QUOTE] Sure you can, as long as you don't sell drugs on the forum.

huh so i guess the broken gd sorts by thread id numbers

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;39477015]huh so i guess the broken gd sorts by thread id numbers[/QUOTE] that's one way to look at it. It's actually "Thread creation date - Descending", opposed to the normal "Last post date - Descending"

Can someone tell me why my OP from the last LMAO Pics was merged with the current LMAO Pics?

darth-veger didn't copy the op from the previous thread verbatim. Or something like that.

[QUOTE=Call Me Kiwi;39479412]darth-veger didn't copy the op from the previous thread verbatim. Or something like that.[/QUOTE] No, I mean the actual OP from the last LMAO Pics, with my name on it, was placed before Vergers OP

[QUOTE=download;39479511]No, I mean the actual OP from the last LMAO Pics, with my name on it, was placed before Vergers OP[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=postal;39382204] [QUOTE=darth-veger;39382005]Why was my OP in LMAO thread pressed down and replaced by someone else's post?[/QUOTE]If you're not gonna copy paste our thread rules, you get replaced. You missed a bunch of rules like the off-topic and reporting rules, so I put back the OP from the last thread to prevent confusion if we had to ban people.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Call Me Kiwi;39479571][/QUOTE] That clears it up

For Sensationalist Headlines is it impossible to let us embed the news articles like the bots in the news section? Doesn't that implicitly redirect us to give them website views, which I assume the lawsuit was about, or do you guys just not want to deal with it whatsoever beyond the point.

giving users the ability to embed arbitrary webpages is not exactly the best idea in the world

dude i just saw someone raise a good point in the physics thread why dont we have a general sciences subforum and i was thinking, why don't we have a literature subforum either those two would have such a good crowd about them it'd be sick, people could go there to find out about books that they'd be interested, or like someone could go into sciences because they're like "shit i don't understand physics one bit let's check out the sciences section and see what they got to say on it" [editline]5th February 2013[/editline] i ain't nothin' but a measly peon in this game here, but it's food for thought, ya know? Shit'd be legit.

I thought I entered DDT for a second. Why the massacring of threads? [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Didn't read OP." - Seiteki))[/highlight]

is it ok if I make a thread about the halo 3 petition for PC in GD? someone said it should be done but i don't want to get baned

Shouldn't that be in the GGD, though?

[QUOTE=scout1;39480945]Because facepunch has so few people that are knowledgeable about actual sciences. If you've ever been to SH the psuedo-science some people push there is quite frankly disgusting[/QUOTE] Quite a few threads i have made in MD have drawn out cryptozoologists, paranormal weirdoes and dialectical materialists. I have little hope for a science subforum, unless it were a "popsci" subforum.

[QUOTE=343N;39481474]is it ok if I make a thread about the halo 3 petition for PC in GD? someone said it should be done but i don't want to get baned[/QUOTE] Doesn't need a separate thread; post it in the Halo mega-thread.

a science forum on facepunch would just be pictures of space, lasers, and the latest graphics cards
