General Guidlines for Thread Starters.

[Oxide]

All people want to feel appreciated. All people want to be recognized.

As i look over a forum, i see some good advice, and assload of usless junk, lets take care of this.

Ill be the first one to admit it, i like posting, a lot, i like sharing the knowledge with people....

When we look at the Bible, we think "Oh man, this is so true, what a great post, i wish i could think of something like that"....

There is a stage, when the Nice guy who came here realizes he is changing, he assumes he knows everything know, and can tell everyone how it really is. Well, the truth is, you never stop learning.


I myself get some ideas about posts, that i feel are gonna change the world. So i hurry and type my "amazing" post, click the submit button.......and wait for results....


And nothing happens.... i dont get that "Oxide is the man!" responses...shiet, sometimes there are no responses!!!

The best advice here is : POST ABOUT STUFF YOU ACTUALLY ARE EXPERIENCED IN! Dont come up with some "awesome" post that you THINK is right. DO something, experience it well enough to master it, THEN POST!

I know quite a lot about Clubs, so i can go on and on about that, but when trying to come up with psychological stuff i come up short...so the posts dont rock.

Next time you have a great idea about a post, type it in word, save it, read it again in 3 days and see if it is actually going to be beneficial to anyone, or are u just stroking your EGO.


Thanks, lets clean up this board.

Thats kinda why, in general, I almost never start any posts. In fact I think i may have started 2 or 3 out of the 700 odd posts I have. man, I got so many field reports/stories/ and usefull things to share, but i don't need to stroke my own ego, it gets stroked enough in real life . I just usually stick to replying to posts and giving out usefull replies.

How about we harden up a bit here and start flaming the dweebs who write
"I looked at a girl for 10 seconds in the mall today and she looked away to the left. How did I do and what does this mean?"

 

[Oxide]

As long as they post that stuff in replys, thats cool, but ull never weed out the new user problem.

Going to Sticky this for a little bit then maybe throw it to Suggestions and Feedback.

i think its really annoying how unspecific some people are when they post the title of their subject,

e.g. - "newbie needs help"

"Get a load of this"

"wondering about this"

it should be more like

"what moves should a dumbass take to get the number from the girl that i have only stared at in class"

for the sake of their own post, and people reading it if they are more descriptive they will generally hit a better audience.

How about an end to the guys who trash this site?

I see the thread below that is getting way too long about how this site is bad or whatever.

I'm so tired of the guys who think they know it all and trash everyone on this site and this site period. Calling everyone AFCs and so forth.

Here's an idea for these people: Don't get on this site. No one is putting a gun to your head.

I find this site useful. I get the tip of the day, some of it I like, some of it I don't. I like a lot of the DJ Bible, some of it I don't. The majority of this site I really like; I pick and choose, just like reading Sports Illustrated. I don't follow hockey so I skip those stories; I'm passionate about college football so I read those stories.

But I don't trash it, and if I get to the point where I don't like the magazine I cut off my subscription.

But moderators please, I beg of you, delete the posts that just trash people and sosuave.com -- it's counterproductive.

That is 100% on the money.

You're right everyone should do this. I set myself this rule from day one of being here.

Otherwise all that's being given is an opinion, with no more value than the next guy.

There are names you see who jump in on almost every thread - how can these people possibly have solid advice for every situation.

Some people see the DJ forum as a chat room, so they post on every subject without thinking if what they're saying is just static.

Unfortunately this place is a breeding ground for keyboard jockeys who will never get in the field or approach a girl but DO get an ego boost by posting tips and giving "advice" on an internet message board.

JJMcLure, right on bro, opinion's are nice but you are setting yourself for a big fall when u realize u actually have no proof that what you say is real and works.

That is why getting out into the field is important as ever.

I believe the thread u r referring to is "knock it off!!!" - it started out that way but it has developed into more depth and insight about a topic that is not usually dicussed on this site -- read my posts on page 5 and it explains why this topic is being discussed - I say this site is very useful but it mainly focuses only on one aspect of being a DJ - why not develop in other areas as well.

Plus why censor a thread that has 90 posts and over 1600 views in only 2 days - obviously it shows the interest level is high - let the readers decide what is worthy. If the DJ principles are sound then why feel threatened that they somehow would be diminished by a threads topic?

There is a thread on masteurbation that has been brought up from a few months back that is just as long -- and yet I fail to see the edification of this thread in upholding any DJ principles.
