General tips:
1.) Don't post useless information. Ask yourself "am I helping this conversation along/am I funny" before clicking post.
2.) Don't post twice in a row. Use the modify button instead.
3.) There's a lot of memes/in jokes here that they don't explain to new people. Feel free to ignore them.
4.) Ask questions. Lots of them.

Most of the Comments on here are making Referencing Redemption Memes and Inside Jokes. Basicly if You Wouldn't Say it or show it to your Grandma It Probably shouldn't be here.
General Tips
1)Don't Spam
2)Don't Post Adult Links

3)Angry Posts are Not Prohibited but are Generally Frowned upon and returned with other angry posts(Which usually only makes it Worse

)
4)The Ruling Section is for question about card Interaction, All "What does X do?" or "Is X a Human or Demon" can be solved by a quick trip to the New Updated REG. (Should X be a Y are different and are ok. See Que,Mattias,Joseph,Daniel etc.)
5)Enjoy the forum and remember Redemption is for...
Fun and Fellowship!!!

How do you post pictures and links?

Nameless · « **Reply #8 on:** September 16, 2011, 07:44:57 PM »

To post a pic you copy that web address and select it and click on the pic of the monalisa.
To post a link you copy the web address and select it and click on the pic of the world and piece of paper.

It means Soul Seeker has disliked all of the meme-related posts in this thread, and 4 others have disliked those specific posts.

I'll own up to it. Welcoming new members with memes, to me, doesn't seem welcoming. I disagree with it therefore I -1 those posts.

, people can disagree/not-find-funny with the -1. To answer your question, 5 people disagreed with the 3 posts above yours.

Fred, Son of Bob: I think SomeKittens is the most helpful post in this thread especially his point #3.

For The Record: I'm not ashamed of how I vote posts. I will explain myself if someone calls me out.

And for the record, posts like that will get deleted by mods. Welcome to the boards and don't do what almost everyone who posted early on this thread did...you know who you are. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

I guess my only question is why did all of the 'meme' posts get deleted, except Pol's 'Adult Link' one? Is it because you actually find that one funny? Or because its a larger internet meme, as opposed to a redemption forum meme?

Probably because they deleted it themselves, since they were being -8'ed.

Oh no, i quite enjoyed my post about playing ANB on que holding buckler. Unfortunately, someone with power did not think so themselves. Therefore, abused their power (in my opinion) and made me very sad

...lol.

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #15 on:** September 20, 2011, 01:06:04 PM »

My first one was good advice; not a meme

Perhaps my Adult Link was the only one with a positive like count?

So that determines if we delete a post? Hmm...

This was not an abuse of power. Introduction threads should not be an open invitation to alienating spam.

Define "Spam"

SomeKittens · « **Reply #19 on:** September 20, 2011, 01:52:24 PM »

Posts should be one of two things (this is my opinion, not the general mod team):
1.) Contributing to the conversation.
2.) Actually funny.

One is pretty self explanatory, if you need any definition of two, look at YMT's and STAMP's posts.

Well who's standard's do i have to follow to deem if something is funny? The Soup Nazi? If you don't think it's funny, then ignore it. Maybe someone else might think its funny.

Funny = creative. Repeating the same old nonsense (posting "buckler" in every deck help thread) is not funny.

Its old nonsense to you, but not to everyone. probably the 3rd time ive even seen it mentioned on the boards. So excuse me for living.

uthminister [BR] · « **Reply #23 on:** September 20, 2011, 02:05:30 PM »

Here is the thing...when a new member of the boards shows up and introduces themselves and then you all begin doing exactly what we don't want people doing on these boards I have to remove your bad example. The Adult Link was funny and a wider internet meme so that is why it remained. As for abusing power, I am sorry you feel that way, but what I did falls well within the bounds of what I am expected to do. Have a good day!
