How To Improve Your APC Experience
 

Here are some tips, that you don't even have to follow religiously or treat like a checklist, that will help improve your posting and reading pleasure on APC. If everyone does a little bit, the benefits are exponential.


1) Browse all forums before posting a new thread. If the topic has already been posted, duplicates (and sometimes triplicates and quadruplicates) will be deleted.

2) Post in the appropriate forums. If your thread is about your new knitting hobby, post it in the Hobby section. Just because you are a regional FO does not mean you have to post everything in the Regional forum. Be a little judicious.

3) After choosing the correct forum, post only once. Posting the same thing more than once in other forums is spamming and excess posts will be deleted.

4) If you see something that might be a violation of the Terms of Service (hereafter affectionately known as TOS), report the post using the little triangle thingie on the lower left side of the post. The moderators will handle each one as appropriate.

5) Similarly, if you have a moderator or system question, send us a PM instead of posting publicly. And please give us some time to get back with you. We all have jobs and other obligations, and we are not here 24/7. Even I turn off my PDA at night!

6) Before hitting the "submit" button, take a breath first and come back to re-read your post. The internet is devoid of subtlety and nuance as you all know. You may not mean XYZ, but sometimes the choice of words will be read by someone else in a different way.

7) Do not post while drunk, tired, high, sleepy, hungry, thirsty, angry, frustrated, or horny.

By rule #7 , I guess you don't want any more posts from Professional Pilots??? :p:p

I prefer needlepoint to knitting.

Rosey Grier would concur.

vagabond, is the the right place to ask you a question about the rules?

Create sub forums for the major, regional and cargo airlines.

Neat! .

I guess the key to a good joke is that someone doesn't have to come in and explain the joke after you make it.

Maybe I shouldn't have stopped reading at number 5. According to 6, maybe I could have included a smiley face to indicate that I am, in fact, able to read, write, speak, and understand the engrish language.

This won't last long, but it's appropriate;

I prefer Rosey Palm.

Partial to Palmela Handerson.

I wonder how many times you have done that with the sexual innuendo some of your posts have had? Or in one particular thread you started but got shutdown by another mod.

deleted...

Huh? That should be required :p

Because for some reason I saw some hyper sensitive/over reactive moderator deleting it, THEN issuing an infraction :rolleyes:

IC what you mean... :)

Another Tip
 

Before replying to a post, check the date of that post. I've seen posters (newbies and sometimes veterans) reply to a post made in 2006. That was 3 years ago. Some of the original posters have gone to cyber heaven or gotten themselves banned, so your reply is untimely and likely of no use to anyone. This happens as well when a post is only a few months old.

Here's an analogy - if a piece of bread is stale, you wouldn't eat it, right? Unless, of course, it was a Twinkie. :)

Judge Vagabond, I love you!
Grant my Motion and I'll let you fly that rare 1955 C-175! With the GEARED PROP! ANND.. 1950s-kit plastic wingtip extensions curled so you are STILL floating in ground effect at 35 MPH! She NEVER wanted to sit down like a lady.

You guys better lissenup, she knows the score AND has the Power...

Thanks Vagabond, if I may, #7 could also mean "let your alligator mouth get ahead of your humming bird a**" or " don't let your mouth write a check your a** can't cash"

deleted...

Being new to the forums, I certainly appreciate the info. Thanks

Did you catch this one?

Hey, 3 years is nothing! You've raised the bar to almost 4½ years! :p
