You know, when your parents tell you to knock off that smart talk, they mean do not talk back to them. This is just a pun on that phrase, this board is for intelligent discussion and no back sass. Use it well.
This board is locally moderated and group managed. This means that to get in, you will have to be let in. This is inconvenient, I know, but if you want to talk and not be swamped down with something less than that, then it is helpful for all those who want to post well.
So why post intelligently and discuss important things meaningfully? Not only does it make you not look like an idiot, but it also will help us base possible future staff hirings, possibly. It would help make your case rather than us just taking your word for it.
All in all, give it a chance, if you hate it, then I hate you.
Oh, and PM the local moderator of this board if you want to be in and are serious about it. You could also PM me as well.
