SO WHAT?

> SO WHAT?

The “so what?” is one of those pesky norms I was talking about. One of the norms is for newer members to lurk awhile, get the “feel” of the place, and then post.

The formal “norms” are found here; http://www.freerepublic.com/help.htm#guidelines

Note also the parts under “Disclaimer”.

These things can all be picked up immediately if you are a patient reader of fine-print. They’re easier to pick up by way of observation.

One good thing to do is to check out the FReeper Canteen, which is a good place for you to get to know people and for people to get to know you.

So, to explain about the “So What?” — others are noticing that you are relatively new. Trolls often sign up with the sole purpose if raising Hell. To them, that is fun.

Our idea of fun is to ZOT trolls. One of the early warnings that we use for spotting trolls is a relatively new signup date — you’ve triggered that alarm already.

Hope that helps

SO WHAT? So you are a noob... and now you are shouting.
