Must Read

[MDS]

i had misfortune to read this in the "new posts" section. luckily, moderator closed this thread after posting his coment. i personaly believe this guy will have to retire from sarging due to the concussion he's gonna get after being slapped a dozen times. actally, i am convinced that he will probably go and field test this because he may think it's actually real advice and not a joke that it's intended to be.
problem is, this is not the worst post i saw, it's just the straw that broke the camel's back [or whatever the saying is]. i am tired of reading stupid ass questions over and over again, i'm tired of people giving stupid ass advices eventhough it's obvious they will never work and they have never been field tested, and i'm tired of people posting without reading and researching the forum first.
i propose that before members will have ability to post they have to read the "worst of the forum" from beginning to end, so we won't have to be subjected to the torture of reading their retarded posts. i'm sure there is a way to arrange it somehow.

if your walking by a girl and notice she has an attraction to you within the three second bullshit
and you walk up to her and maybe kind of put your thumb and pointer finger right up to her jaw and gently tilt her head up and say "will you kiss me"
and shes says "whoa" but still looking up at your face with her big eyes, is that a yes, maybe, or a no?

If it seems like such a good idea, DO IT IN THE FIELD DOZENS OF TIMES and then get back to us on it. FIELD-TEST it.
Always be willing to pioneer.

Thank you for your observations, MDS. They're very much appreciated. The guy who closed the topic was myself.
In an effort to crack down on armchair theorists, or keyboard jockeys, or whatever we may call them, the healthy attitude is to make them put their money where their mouth (or mind) is.

*I have not done this but maybe it would seem like a good idea*

This, in our opinion, is not contributing to the forum. If it truly IS such a good idea, it would be solidly field-tested to make sure that it is a good idea before spewing it onto the forum and diluting the real, true, FIELD-TESTED goods.
Even if the original guy went out and field-tested this seemingly ridiculous theory and got slapped several dozen times, it is STILL MUCH BETTER than not having tried it at all. Do you not agree? It would then become an example of what NOT to do rather than something that nobody knows nothing about and dare not try.
I originally didn't intend on my reply being a joke, but I can see how it would be perceived as such, and as a light-hearted Admin-administered spanking of a member. But the attitude still stands; the field gives all the answers we need. The field does not lie.
As our member base continues to explode, we are currently working on a system that will make certain readings mandatory before members can post. So we definitely appreciate your feedback on this.
EDIT - We will refer anybody reading this to the Mystery' Forum FAQ post on Posting Rules that outlines field-testing various techniques.
