Eventually, almost no one will know you are still around, much > less, reply to you. > > The ultimate punishment is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".

This greatly increases the > likelihood many more members will follow the writer's lead and privately > kill file you. > > ----------------------------------------------- > > 8) What does "lurk" mean? > > The other advice/demand you may hear from veteran members just as you are > starting out, besides reading this document, is to "lurk" for a while. > "Lurking" means reading the postings to the newsgroup by other members for > at least a few weeks before posting anything to r.a.a.m. (Replying to > [Polls] are an exception to this policy.) This will allow you to see what > is being discussed, who is in the "dog house", likely will answer some of > your questions, and tell you which way the wind is blowing, so to speak. > > In fact, it is a very good idea to lurk every time you come back to > r.a.a.m and every time you start reading a new subject (thread), so you > don't say the same thing as someone else has said earlier or ask a > question that has been answered recently. Not lurking upon every return or > every new thread can get you flamed or, at least, ignored. > > ----------------------------------------------- > > 9) What are "spoilers" and "spoiler space"? > > If asking about, or referring to, an episode or season or series not yet > broadcasted on Canadian and American television and/or cable television, > do not use any information from them in the Subject Line but, do include > the name of the anime in the Subject line to aid the avoiding of the > potential spoiler.

If you are replying only to a small part of a > message, <snip> anything written that is not relevant to which you are > replying. If you wish to respond to several points in a message, break > into the quoted message, by hitting the enter button once before and twice > after you reply. Explaining what you are snipping is helpful to your > fellow members. > > Remember, do not reply and then quote (known as "top posting"). > > ----------------------------------------------- > > 11) Who should I not reply to? > > The three kinds of messages you should never reply to are: spam, trolls, > and misdirected postings. The reasons why will also be given. > > a) Spam is advertising of any kind, unless it is directly related to anime > or r.a.a.m. Replying to spam lets the spammer know they are not wasting > their time with us, because they know you are reading their garbage. Even > if you flame them, they are still happy to know someone will read what > they have to offer. > > Additionally, on-topic advertising should be posted in > rec.arts.anime.marketplace. > > b) Trolls are people who are trying to start arguments for the fun of it. > They will often cross-post to many newsgroups at once in hope that they > can start flame wars between the newsgroups. Many of them have many games > to play with anyone foolish enough to reply to them, even just to flame > them. In the past, some of us forgot the rule of not replying to trolls > and regretted it. > > See Also: http://www.geocities.com/willrobsm/t-guide.htm > > c) Misdirected posts are those from people who post to r.a.a.m but, who > have no idea who or what anime is, and post to us based on what they think > we are discussing. For example, a person might think this newsgroup is > about people who are professional anime artists/cartoonists. Replying may > just confuse them even more and add to their eventual embarrassment (and > it may only be a troll's trick to start a flame war). > > ----------------------------------------------- > > 12) I am doing everything that it says here to do, so why am I still being > ignored? > > With this many members and with the sheer number of postings on a daily > basis, it can be a bit overwhelming to try to read everything posted by > everyone. After a while you get to liking some members and what they > write. If they don't have the time to read most of what's new or what is > written, people tend to read only those who are known to them. As such, > you might have to wait until someone more well-known to the newsgroup > notices what you wrote and replies to get others to notice you. Be > patient. > > There are a few ways to get noticed a little easier. One, is to answer a > [Poll], which is more likely to be read thoroughly by many members. If you > give some good answers and don't make a fool of yourself trying to answer > a poll you don't really understand, people may remember the name you are > using and may take a look at what you later write. > > Another way is to post an introductory message, like "Hi! I'm New Here", > telling about you and your enjoyment of anime. A few friendly people will > stop to welcome you to r.a.a.m, and likely, recommend you read the Welcome > to r.a.a.m FAQ, which, of course, you are doing right now. > > The third, and stupid way, is to attract attention to yourself by > deliberately doing something flame-able. Besides asking for trouble, you > risk quick and permanent kill filing by everyone after the flaming gets > old. > > ----------------------------------------------- > > 13) What are all the [brackets] in the Subject Lines for? > > Any posting to rec.arts.anime.misc not related somehow to anime is > considered "off-topic". These off-topic messages must be marked as such. > As you are likely aware, r.a.a.m receives hundreds of postings daily. This > consumes a great deal of time when it comes to opening and downloading the > newsgroup in a newsreader.
