Newbies - We love you all but it really helps to post just a bit about yourself in the 'Introduce Yourself' topic. You don't have to give us your life history or your entire mindset on all things paranormal either. A simple, "Hi, I'm SoAndSo. I'm into UFOs and Ghosts." is perfectly fine. Or if you are of the skeptic variety you can feel free to just say, "Hi, I'm TypicalSkeptic. I think it's all BS." Hey, we're easy around here. When I see a brand new member post something, especially a entirely new topic that isn't really related to one of the bajillion already indexed topics here, I start to smell SPAM.
One other member in particular here also is excellent at smelling a wormy can of SPAM the second the lid is opened. Then he has to go through the "Report a Post" to me, and then I have to go into the "Moderator Control Panel" and click on the report, then find the post and then do all these other clicks to get rid of your sorry assed attempt at SPAM, and then I usually thank the member who reported the SPAM. I'd really rather stick sharp implements in my eyes rather than have to deal with SPAM every morning. SO CUT IT OUT! There, that should work.... right? I think I'll go sharpen some pencils.
