Title: PLEASE READ: Guidelines for posting at Threestooges.net
Post by: shemps#1 on November 17, 2004, 02:14:04 PM
Greetings;

We here at threestooges.net encourage all visitors to the site to post freely and openly. However, just like everywhere else in life, there are a few ground rules that we would like for you to abide by.

1. Your post must be readable and make sense. This is the most important rule. This includes using capitalization and punctuation when needed. Do not use ALL CAPS unless you want to convey that you are yelling. We are not looking for perfect sentence structure, but periods and commas would be nice. We are also not looking for perfect spelling, but a post filled with spelling errors will either merit a warning, or you run the risk of being made fun of. Of course, "Net Speak" (i.e. "c u l8r") is not allowed on the message board. Also, use the default font size, color, and face: everybody else does this and by changing it up just to make your post stand out is annoying.

2. Post your topic in the right forum. I have not seen alot of this happening, but I am putting this out there as a failsafe should something arise later on. The General Discussion forum should be the only forum in which non-Stooge related topics reside (and Pilsner's Picks, but that is a different matter). Non-Stooge related posting in the General Discussion forum is welcomed and encouraged.

3. Feel free to express your opinion, but don't get offended if someone else's opinion differs. We here at Threestooges.net encourage the Freedom of Speech that is guaranteed to all Americans in the US Constitution, even if the US Government does not. Freedom of Speech is a two-way street, meaning that if you are free to speak your mind on a particular subject others are free to disagree with you and speak their minds as well. This can (and most likely will) lead to arguments. We have no problems with arguments as long as they do not get personal (i.e. name-calling). When you have opinionated people such as myself and others here on one message board there are bound to be arguments. If you do not want someone with a differing opinion responding to your post then you should leave your post off the board. I would hate to see that happen, as I would like to see a free and open exchange of ideas. But consider yourself warned: not everyone will agree with your idea.

4a. Our policy on swearing. In my 4 years or so of experience at ThreeStooges.net, I have found the youngest members of this site to be around 13 or 14 years old. By that time in life you should know all about cursing and have used plenty of curse words yourself. Therefore, swearing in moderation is acceptable. By "swearing in moderation" I mean not swearing in every post you write. The ideal would be to curse when you are making a point (see my recent post in the vulgarity thread as an example), and not littering your posts with swear words.

4b. Swearing at other people. Swearing at other people will not be tolerated at all. For example, if I were speaking with Dunrobin and said "This fucking computer is a piece of shit", that is swearing to, or in front of, him. However, if I said "Fuck you Dunrobin, you piece of shit", that is swearing at Dunrobin. Pretty self-explanatory, and it ties in with name-calling.

5. Do not post under multiple usernames. I feel the need to add this one since our old pal Islipp is back again on the board posting under yet another username (Viva). Using multiple usernames will not be tolerated whatsoever.

6. Do not start new topics concerning the following subjects. There are some certain topics which new members just love to start threads on. This can be very monotonous and tiresome for those of us who have been around awhile, and it is with that in mind that I will begin to compile a list of topics which are off limits. Starting threads on the topics listed below will result in a warning:

1. What's Your Favorite Stooge Short?
2. Who's Your Favorite Stooge?
3. Which short has the Niagara Falls bit?
4. Which short has the Alphabet Song?
5. Which short features Curly as a boxer?
6. When did Curly's health begin to deteriorate?
7. Who was the oldest Stooge?

7. Use the fucking search engine. To quote the link from Stoop below: IT'S ALWAYS BETTER TO POST IN AN EXISTING THREAD THAN TO START A NEW ONE. Therefore you should use the search engine before starting a thread to make sure your topic doesn't already exist. For instance, if you have a question about the location of Stooge gravesites put "Stooge graves" in the engine and it will direct you to the appropriate thread. Posting a new thread that resembles one that has already been posted will indicate that you have not used the search engine and will subject you to admistrative discipline.

8. Our policy on fights. From time to time there will be fighting on this message board, which should be expected anytime you get various peoples from various places and mindsets together. Members should not get themselves involved in another person's fight, let admin handle it. Anyone who doesn't mind their own business as far as fights are concerned will be subject to disciplinary action.

9. The Karma System With the change of format we have recently experienced a new karma system has been ingrained into the message board. While there is a 30 minute wait period before you can applaud or smite a user after doing so a first time, I feel the need to make clear the policies on the use of this karma, and in particular the "smite" (negative) aspect.

You must have a valid reason to smite someone: If you go around smiting someone without stating a reason why did so (or if the reason is stupid), this will result in administrative action. Here are some examples of reasons for smiting another member that are NOT valid:

Smiting someone just because they smote you and you got offended. Everyone has the right to smite a member, as long as the reason is a good one. Smiting someone just because they smote you will discourage people from using the feature as they see fit out of fear for being smote themselves.

Smiting someone for cursing. Cursing is allowed on this board and it is therefore not a good reason to smite someone.

Smiting an administrator for warning you. Feel free smite one of us, not saying that you cannot. However if you received a warning is was because you deserve it, and giving an admin a smite because of it is sour grapes.

No reason at all. I already said it, but it bears repeating. Smiting someone for no reason at all will not be tolerated.

If you are found to have abused the karma system in one of the ways above administrative action will be taken. The list above is subject to change/additions. By the way, smiting me for including an artist/band that you like in MTS is allowed.  ;D

Quote from: The Webmaster 2006-03-08 09:38 AM
Personally, I haven't "smited" anyone yet, although I've applauded several members.  (I like to use it to give someone a virtual pat on the back or "thumbs up.")  If the "Karma" feature becomes too much of an issue, however, I can always just turn it off again.

10. No flooding or spam. For the purposes of this website the term "flooding" refers to a member constantly posting messages for either no good reason or new members who are making it painfully obvious that they posting for the sole reason to get their post count up so that they may start a new thread. Spam is posting any unsolicited advertisements. Both offenses will get you banned right away.

11.  No "nudie" pictures.  Modified 5/11/2011
Pictures of male and/or female nudes are not acceptable on this site; there are plenty of porn sites on the Internet if you are looking for titillation.  Failure to follow this rule from this point on will result in deletion of the offending posts and banishment from the site.  Likewise, if your post contains a link to an off-site picture or video that might be objectionable, you should include a warning that the link is NSFW (Not Safe For Work.)

We here at threestooges.net feel that these rules are simple to follow. Violations of these rules will result in a rise of your "warning level". The warning levels are as follows:

0. "NONE". Self-explanatory.
1. "WARNED" Green. This is the first warning you receive. A green circle with the word "warned" will appear under your name until the warning is taken off.
2. "MODERATED" Yellow. If policy violation continues after level 1, you will be moved up to this level. At this level your posts will be held in limbo until a moderator reviews and approves them.
3. "MUTED" Orange. If policy violation continues, you will be moved up to this level. I have not had to Mute anyone yet, but from the name I take it that you'll be able to log on but not post.
4. "BANNED" Red. As a last resort (or at the request of a member), contuation of policy violation will resort in banishment from this website. Although the warnings automatically go down in level as time goes on (ie from BANNED to MUTED, and so on), administrators have the ability to ban a member without use of the warning system.

NOTE: Warnings can be taken off at any time when the webmaster/moderator/admin feel that the violation has been rectified. The webmaster, administrators, and moderators of this website also reserve the right to ban members without going through each step of the warning system.

So there you have it. If you made it this far down, then give yourself a pat on the back. We do not feel that adhearing to these rules/guidelines is asking too much. The Webmaster/Admin/Moderators reserve the right to change or add to these guidelines as we see fit. These guidelines are not up for debate.

My thanks for coming up with some very clear and appropriate rules, Jim.  I couldn't agree more (with one minor exception:)

2. Post your topic in the right forum. I have not seen alot of this happening, but I am putting this out there as a failsafe should something arise later on. The General Discussion forum should be the only forum in which non-Stooge related topics reside (and Pilsner's Picks, but that is a different matter). Non-Stooge related posting in the General Discussion forum is welcomed and encouraged.

Technically, upcoming events like classic film festivals should go in the Events and TV forum, but I have the posting permissions restricted there.  If you know about something coming up - such as the Laurel and Hardy Festival in Boston next month that 123cagney posted this evening - you can post them in the General Discussion board.  If I feel that it should get added to the Calendar, I'll move the topic and post a redirection topic in its place.

EDIT: I've added using the search engine to the guidelines.

4. "BANNED" Red. As of this moment only the Webmaster has the authority to ban members, so I'm guessing the level color is red. I'm pretty sure he will ban someone on the suggestion of the moderators or admin.

NOTE: Warnings can be taken off at any time when the webmaster/moderator/admin feel that the violation has been rectified.
Now i do understand the warning color system .Thanks.

That was written by shemps#1, and Dunrobin and I both agree that "moderation" is the best approach to the matter. I take it you don't, but some people are more offended by the old Anglo-Saxon words than others. They don't happen to bother me, unless every other word is profane, like in some hip-hop.

Which I don't listen to, anyway, not if I can help it...

I found it at albinoblacksheep.com (http://albinoblacksheep.com), a website I frequent. There are a lot of other good flash movies there.  And I found out about that website after someone I know e-mailed me this link (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/kikia.php) (Warning: not for the jumpy, or those with heart problems. lol).  I thought the movie in the link was adorable up to the point where I spilled my cereal all over the place. Needless to say that I didn’t speak to that person for weeks.

For example, if I were speaking with Dunrobin and said "This fucking computer is a piece of shit", that is swearing to, or in front of, him.

Lola-lou is right on the mark. I too like to use my means to be adult and civil and
type/post with clarity and grammatical correctedness.
It's easy to spot the juvenile delinquents and dolts by their manner of
communication and I prefer otherwise.
So FUCK 'EM  :-X (P.P. says I can say that!), I refuse to let some lowlifes bring me
down to their level and ruin my perusals.

Fuck no. One thing I cannot stand is the school marms who scrunch their noses at certain words. Just because a person curses from time to time doesn't mean they are automatically childish and uncivil. Which brings me to the next post...

"Correctedness"?

Anybody who dismisses anyone who curses as "lowlives" is a little too closed-minded. Some folks around here need to lighten up: after all, they are only words.

 Some folks around here need to lighten up: after all, they are only words.

Well, that's it; and after all, as I mentioned, these are old Anglo-Saxon words, for the most part. Let's keep this discussion on a scholarly level:

http://www.answers.com/topic/fuck

Scroll down far enough on that page and you'll learn how to say "fuck" in two dozen or so different languages! So, if you're ever insulted by (say) a Russian, you'll know just how to respond (the full retort is given— it has something to do with his mother).

What surprises me is that George Carlin's "Seven Words You Can't Say on the Radio" haven't lost their power to shock, since they've been repeated so often. How long ago did Carlin do that routine? About 25 years ago if I remember right, and a lot has changed in the interim, due to Richard Pryor, the late Sam Kinison, rap, Howard Stern, etc., etc...

I think it was around the mid-80's that the high-toned New Yorker magazine first started allowing the Seven Words to appear in its pages, which did make me raise an eyebrow (and I don't raise one very often, as I'm not easily shocked). To me, that represented a definite cultural sea-change; as to whether that sea-change was good or bad, I'd say, that for the most part, it was good. Having a journalistic background myself, I'm of the opinion that if you're going to reproduce people's natural, colloquial ways of speaking in print, then having greater latitude for accuracy in doing so is a positive thing.

The question here (at least to me), is whether there's a gratuitous intent to offend (as in rap lyrics). That's worthless garbage, and I wouldn't give it five minutes of my time. But if you're writing a story about someone slamming his finger in a car door and you have him yell "Oh fuck!," that's just naturalistic writing, and there's not a thing wrong with it.

My cursing tends to run more along blasphemous lines, anyway; I've been known to invoke the name of Jesus Christ from time to time— but not because I'm religious, it's usually because I've dropped a heavy object on my foot.

Brett happens to be a close friend of mine. I am terribly sorry that he has been acting and speaking the way he is. If I had any idea that he was planning on acting this way I would have never shown him these boards. But I had a question, he went on vacation to New Jersey this weekend. I dont belive there is a computer at where he is staying, expecially because I have been there with him before. I have a slight feeling that this may be the work of Brett's brother. He and his brother have sort of a grudge with one another, I have the slightest feeling that Bretts brother may be the one behind the foul language. I just thought I'd let everybody know that because I am a personal friend of Brett. But, by chance if Brett is doing this, I don't know what has come over him.

  Listen P.P., all I expect is a little bit of fuckin' INTELLIGENT decency, do you talk to women and children like this??? I don't.  For all you know you could be swearing at/with/about,etc.,to one
at any given time on-line, who can tell??
  My Dad raised me right.
You justify your own  mouth, not mine.
  Man to man is another matter and I can let my decorum slide.
( You sound like a man  ???) I hope so, or I inadvertantly (sorry, big woid) broke my own
credo.
  Spout over, lets get on with all things STOOGES and only THREE STOOGES!!!! WOOOOO!!   
Usually if I feel like swearing but don't know the person/sex of the person on line
I use #@$&^***&^^$$##@@! and such, but when I do I can say fuck, shit, dick, etc.,
just like you, pally.

What, you don't think I gave you an intelligent reply? All I can say is, you're awfully thin-skinned. I don't really need to answer your question; but no, I don't swear a lot in my personal speech, not unless I'm livid with anger. All I said was that it doesn't offend me if someone else curses— that's what happens in the real world, "pally." I grew up in New York City, so I heard rough speech right from the beginning; I'm more than used to it. As a result, I can swear in Yiddish and Italian, as well as in English. You must live in some part of Canada that's so isolated that it's mainly populated by moose and beaver...

...Oooh, I said a naughty word! Beaver!  :o

Okay, now let's not start a flame war here, let's just agree that we don't look at this issue in the same way, and let it go at that.

Brett happens to be a close friend of mine. I am terribly sorry that he has been acting and speaking the way he is. If I had any idea that he was planning on acting this way I would have never shown him these boards. But I had a question, he went on vacation to New Jersey this weekend. I dont belive there is a computer at where he is staying, expecially because I have been there with him before. I have a slight feeling that this may be the work of Brett's brother. He and his brother have sort of a grudge with one another, I have the slightest feeling that Bretts brother may be the one behind the foul language. I just thought I'd let everybody know that because I am a personal friend of Brett. But, by chance if Brett is doing this, I don't know what has come over him.

Robbie, I've warned whoever is this. If you think there's something you can do to fix this on a personal level, please try. If it turns out that this is really Brett's brother, you should tell Brett not to give out his passwords! Anyway, whoever's been violating the posting guidelines, there's a warning on him right now, and that means he gets one chance to clean up his act. He's been disturbing and annoying the other members here, and we can't have that, as I'm sure you know.

What I don't get is the not swearing around adult women bit. Let me tell you something, I've known women that have made ME say "damn, she swears too much". Women should be treated as what they are: the equals of their male counterparts. They are not fragile little flowers that will wilt after hearing someone say "shit". I can see not wanting to curse around children, but intentionally not cursing around women is sexist and antiquated. If you can say it around a grown man you should be able to say it around a grown woman. Besides, we have plenty of women who are members of this site as well, so your not cursing around women thing doesn't quite work.

What I usually do is try to get a feel for the people/environment I am around as to whether or not I should make it a point not to swear. For instance, if I'm at a fancy banquet or around people that are "old school" I will behave myself. The same goes for something like a job interview. If I go into a job interview and let the fucks and shits fly I can kiss that job goodbye. An internet message board, however, is a different story.

FYI: I don't know about Pils and Rob, but I'm usually much more strict with language as far as fan comments on the episode pages are concerned.

What's the Vegas line on this Brett character getting pissed about the warning and getting himself banned?

San Francisco. I don't know if I left my heart here, but I definitely left my tuchis. I moved out here from the East Coast years ago because (wait for it, Mr. Canadian), I couldn't stand the cold weather any more. Obviously, not a problem for you...

BTW, I go by Pils or Pilsner here; P.P. just doesn't sound right, people might think I'm yellow!

Ever read that great novel, "The Yellow River," by I.P. Daily? (That gag was old even when I was a kid).

I'm glad that's over! Yes, it did cause some problems, some people here were getting annoyed and they reported his posts to me. Brett, not only should you keep your passwords secret, but you should change them once in a while, for more security. Another tip: don't use something obvious, like your dog's name (for example). Someone who knows you well, like— ahem— your friend, could guess that easily enough. Pick a random word out of the dictionary or something like that... okay?

And you should also give your friend a good talking-to. Some friend!

Yeah, our national symbol is a bald-headed boid... Dick Cheney. And yes, San Francisco is the gay capital of the world, but I'm not going to dwell on that; in the immortal words of T.F. Eccles, "Everybody's got to be somewhere," and it seems like most of them are here. I don't have any problem with gay people, though, never have. Just as long as they don't try to hit on me, that is.

 >:(

Something interesting about the Stooges, not normally known? Okay, Moe Howard appeared as a child actor in early silent films that were made at Paramount Pictures' Astoria, Queens, studio, just across the East River from Manhattan. The building still stands, by the way, and is now a national landmark and film museum.

You can thank Dunrobin for most of what we've got here— I didn't have a thing to do with the creation of this site. Shemps#1 and I have been here for a long time now, but it's Rob's dedication that's made this the best Stooges and classic comedy site ever. I should add that we don't do it for money, either, but out of a love for the greatest comedians on film. One of whom we've just lost, the late Don Knotts.

We do allow swearing in posts here; I don't remember if the .com boards did - they've been gone a long time.  We feel that anyone who is visiting this site is old enough to at least "know all the woids!"   ;)

Personally, I don't swear that much (at least, not in public.)  I feel that just because you have the freedom to do something it doesn't mean that you have to do it, and frankly overuse destroys the effect for those times when swearing is truly appropriate (like when discussing government goons and - ugh! - politicians.)

Regarding your 12:27 am message of today, good one, Shemps#1. If it had been a bad television show, I would assume Bangsmith wouldn't continue watching it, he would change the station. Frankly, the language is not as bad as you hear around town every day, and where it might  be "apalling" (I'm not saying it is!), there is always a warning.  I consider this site to be a breath of fresh air, and one reason is that the messages are mature & you guys obviously work hard to screen out the trolls.

The name Bangsmith looks familiar. I believe he posts comments in the "Guestbook" at least once a day (usually more) at ThreeStooges.com. In fact, yesterday he was in there complaining about how long it takes to post a message at this site.

Rob or Jim (the other moderators, I'm new as a moderator myself), can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you need at least 10 posts before you can post in the general discussion section.  Basically, we figure if you're not banned by 10 posts, you're probably OK to post wherever you want.  Unfortunately, this site has had a lot of trolls and people who just can't write legibly over the years littering the site.  By limiting where new posters can post, we can prevent this site from being littered by the bad apples.  So far Wilson7777, you seem alright in my eyes, and welcome aboard.

Hello and welcome!  There are lots of pictures over at www.threestooges.net (http://www.threestooges.net) They are in the 'Multimedia' tab up at the top of the page.

10, and you're not. What's so important anyway?

 I'm not trying to be sarcastic.  I'm a long time Stooge fan, I can contribute a great deal to this board, however in order to do that I need to be able to start new topics.

This is my first post on the board. I've been trying to reply to some posts, but I keep running into messages saying that the topic is at least 120 days old.

After a scan of the site I have come to the conclusion that the diversity of topics discussed here make it ideal for a person of my interests. Which are, in no specific order:

Classic Film/TV & radio
American History
The Animal Kingdom
Cosmology
Sports

There are several things that I would like to bring up for discussion that are so controversial that I dare not broach them with acquaintances.

I will see you all in the General Interest forum soon.

Thank you Mr. Metal. I'm surprised and pleased to get a reply so quickly. And your avatar has piqued my curiosity already. It is familiar. I had to enlarge it to recognize it as Lugosi with a perm, but I can't come up with the role. As a Universal Horror nut this concerns me  :-\

A question: I tried to post an image. Failed. Five times. Help?

The Lugosi perm pic, long believed to be a test shot from a Deanna Durbin musical  [pie] is actually from MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE (1932).

As far as posting a pic, if you click on the Mona Lisa icon above all the smileys and place the link in between the brackets, it should post.  If it something you have saved in your computer, click the attachments button below where you type a post and take it from there.

Aha! Rue Morgue.....odd, I don't remember him ever taking his hat off.  :-\

Aha #2: The itty bitty Mona Lisa Icon!

I was going to post the image below in the thread "Who am I"? by Gimme Dat Fillum that had a warning saying it was over 120 days old. So for practice I guess I'll put it here.......but......no dice.

- Attachments and other options
 Notify me of replies. Return to this topic. Don't use smileys.

Ulg. That's all I get when I click Attachments to load from my PC. When I try to place an image URL off the web between the Img brackets all I get is codes. No photo.

Oh well...

Ok thanks.
BTW, I have an early set of autographs of "Jerry Curly Howard" and "Larry Fine" from 1934.  Their signatures a vary from later on so the autograph services like JSA are not knowledgeable enough to make a decision without seeing similar exemplars.      Is the general forum section the best place to post these?  I am hoping others have some early examples.

It looks like a great place to come for all things Stooges!

I'm obviously new, and hopefully can post enough to be able to find the answer to a question only an expert would know.

I saw an episode years ago that had a routine in it that was so bizarre I couldn't stop laughing, now I want to try and find out what it was by trying to describe it!

Hopefully....

Thanks
Tom

You could have asked here, Tom. But let me guess: Was  it by chance the da da doodle-oodal day day? (wild guess)  :)
