Courteous and polite posting.
Ah, The Halo Movie Discussion Thread. I have been there for a little while, fighting valiantly for the anti-Halo movie.... thingy.
Any road, my time there has pointed out some glaringly rude conduct regarding posting. This is prob. falling on well behaved ears, but what the hell. Here are a few useful tips that will help you gain acceptance and maybe a little respect.
1. Read the previous posts. Is not that much hard work. If the thread is only a few pages long, it doesn't take too long to have (at the very least) a quick skim throught the previous pages to see what has or has not been discussed, who the main posters are, to look for quotes you might like to use and to generally see how the post has gone. Posts flow like a river, and you must be in the boat of knowledge.
2. Use the [q ] [/q ] function. It is VERY basic, and it makes it clear what points you are addressing.
3. Use correct grammar and spelling (a point mentioned many times before)
4. Respect other peoples point of view. Your opinion is not the only opinion in the entire world on any given subject.
5. Point, counterpoint. Makes for interesting debates.
6. Use the edit button! It's right next to the 'Reply to' button. It's not that difficult. ([i] There we go goweb, just for you ;-) [/i] )
Follow these tips, and you shall be loved. Or, at the very least, not get beaten up so much.

I too saw this post. I commented on it in the thread. or the 'Froum' as some members have called it (The idea that a thread is a forum is ridiculous enough, but 'Froum'? Please....) Any road, I too tried to make some sense, but I found it difficult. Hang on... Heres my reply. [quote] [b] Posted by [/b] Stalin the 31st How would it evolve the graphic movie industry? How do YOU know? Are you a movie producer? Nyet. How would a Halo movie 'up' the industry 'soci-economically'? What industry? Do you even know that you have used this phrase in the wrong context? And that you have spelt it incorrectly? And that your sentence makes no sense? Bah. HUMBUG. EDIT: Ahh, Stalin came down quite hard on poor tdj_fmc. *Pats tdj_fmc on head* Run along, ya little scamp. [/quote] Yes, there we go. At first, I tore him down, but it wasn't meant to be a nasty tearing down. Hence the edit. But I hope you can see why Stalin was angry. Nothing irritates me more than people who attempt to look intelligent by using words that they have made up, or created by crudley shoving together two other words. Also, people who use words they clearly dont know the meaning of irritates me as well. But, thats just me. (Dang.... this quote kind of goes against the 'Being courteous' thing......) *Stalin stabs himself in the belly with a small knife*
