Hey, I'm new to the FReeping world, and I'm slightly baffled by some of the unique things to FreeRepublic. What the heck is a ZOT? Who are the viking kitties? Can somebody fill me in on the trolls, the BTTT's, etc? Thanks.
Uhh we did this yesterday....twice.
deja vu?

Zot- when a troll (someone who is here only to disrupt, annoy, or provide amusement for regular patrons of this website) gets the boot.
Viking Kitties- The entities who regularly provide the zots, loyal pets of the Mods.
BTTT- "bump to the top" You've got nothing to say or are in a hurry but want to keep track, so you put this on a thread to come back to it later using the "My Comments" feature.
Viking kitties - They kill the trolls
Troll - A newbie who is a disruptor
I'd forget my hair if it wasn't connected.
It's not and I have.
don't say anything for 120 days, this site is not friendly to non-majority opinion. Some people are zotted just for asking the wrong question. It's a past time here. Lay low and hold your breath for awhile.
This identical topic was posted twice yesterday, and they were both pulled by the moderator, as this one soon will be.
Not me. I was busy elsewhere.
Anyhow, can we play with it before we eat it?
Not sure if your a troll or a gnubee so I'll give you this and watch

For those who are computer-inclined, "ZOT" can also mean "Zero Out Thread" -- which means the same thing, but for programmers.
Welcome to FR
Wait- is it still Monday?
