Am working on a FAQ to replace the v. old one (http://www.ilxor.com/faq.html), and need a list of new questions. Have started a short list (below). Anything else?
1. Can I change a poll date?2 Can I delete my old posts?2b. Can you erase a post if I accidentally type something that can get me fired?2c Can you erase a thread if I said something two months ago that might make my brother pissed at me?3. What can get you banned?4. How does SB work?5. What is a sock?6. Can I have a board/be a mod?7. What is 77 and can I be on it?

i've sort of been wondering what exactly 1p3 and ANDSFBaPB are uh for, i guess. and for that matter i'm still not clear on what exactly a 'noise dude' is.
― №, Monday, 3 May 2010 17:53 (fourteen years ago) link
don't know if more comprehensive board explanations/descriptions would actually make anything about 1p3 and all noise dude any clearer, and i'm not sure they should be. one suggestion i'd make is making the faq easier to find, perhaps emailing a link to it when you register? i had been posting here for six months before i found the old one.

5. What is a sock?
LOL!
― Aerosol, Monday, 3 May 2010 18:53 (fourteen years ago) link
1p3 is about animal photos & abbreviations & diff varieties of sandwiches

Some kind of question about the kinds of behaviour/comments etc that tend to get frowned on/SBed on?
― Daily Sport Stunna Yasmin Alibhai Brown (Noodle Vague), Monday, 3 May 2010 18:55 (fourteen years ago) link
i have the same questions. i kind of figured that the ANDSFBaPB was for NY ilx'ors, but that's purely a guess.

For Noise and 1p3 and ITR and Cape, etc, it might be fun to have it broken down into "sitewide mods' definition" and "board mods' definition".

are your poll votes kept confidential? can mods see what you voted for in polls? how often can you vote in polls? are there polls on the moon?
― going non-native (dyao), Tuesday, 4 May 2010 00:22 (fourteen years ago) link
and on that note, why is it that after you vote on a poll and the page reloads the poll is still there the same as it was? can you vote more than once?

it just reminds me of the phantom ambulance from the first Season of Von Trier's "The Kingdom" - the ambulance just sits there at the same time every night, and no one gets out - that thread, and several others, are always on most read threads around the same time of day and there are no new posts.
