Private messaging only available to elevated accounts.

Private messaging on the RRS website is now only available to elevated roles (including bronze level and higher subscribers).  We may change this in the future.  Moderators can still contact users directly if needed.  To contact a moderator simply hit "contact" at the top of the page and write to "Website Problems."

 

As you were.

Would you like a badge? Awarding Superfan badges and Scientist badges! Also blogging accounts!

We've got a whole fleet of new badges for the site.  They'll be higher quality images soon.

We've got two badges that we're willing to give out to people who ask based on certain criteria.

 

SUPERFAN BADGE displayed below your name

Do you consider yourself a huge fan of the Rational Response Squad?  If you would like a superfan badge under your name please make a post in this thread requesting a badge.  If we are unfamiliar with you, you may want to link to your myspace or make a positive statement about us when you post your request.  The badge has a special little treat to accompany it and because it does the Core leadership of RRS will have the final say on whether you can have the badge.  Essentially if we suspect your in the non-superfan group, and you're just trying to snag a badge we might not apply the badge.  If you're an atheist, and you've posted a few times here already, that's good enough to ask, it's worth a shot.  We'll likely approve many people that ask. 

The "superfan" badge was designed to help give some status to those that cant afford a membership, or don't have a membership but they want to make their support for the RRS apparent in their posts.  You can ask to have it removed if you change your mind later, and vice versa (we may change our mind later based on your actions)

How To Use The Quote Function

Hi everyone. We've had several questions asking how to use the quote function and how to "pick and choose" parts of previous posts for quoting. I will attempt to illustrate.

At the bottom of the post to which you wish to reply, there are several selections you may choose. One of those choices is "quote". When you click on quote, an edit box comes up with the post pre-populated for you. At the beginning of the text you will see:

[ quote=Susan ] (without the spaces)

Hi there!

At the end of the post you will see [ /quote ] (again, without the spaces)

I had to put the spaces in for instructions or the quote feature in this post would make it look like this:

Susan wrote:
Hi there!

If you wish to pick and choose or quote multiple posts, just make sure the text you are quoting begins with a left bracket ( [ ) then "quote=" and the user's name and then a right bracket ( ] ). At the end of the text you wish to quote, use a left bracket, then a slash followed by the word "quote", ending with a right bracket.

If you wish to comment between quote, just be sure you have matching beginning and ending quotes.

For instance (again, I'm putting in spaces where you should not):

[ quote=Winston ] I think we should have a four day work week. [ /quote ]

(Then I respond)

I disagree. It should be a three day work week and the pay should be the same.

The thread on how to use this site, features, and updates

As I've been saying, this site will give us much more functionality than before. Bugs and bitching go here.

First... You'll notice we don't make "posts" anymore. We create "content."

There are many different types of content, standard users have access to only several of them now, but as we get set up you'll have more....... see thread for more....

Lip-syncing

I had the misfortune of going to a club recently where the live act was found to be Lip-syncing, needless to say the crowd was not please. I myself was not pleased i will admit, and when a room fill of rather drunk people are not pleased no one ends up pleased..... mainly the people who own the room. 

 

Personally I think everyone attending has the right to know if there will be lip syncing. This should espessially be the case if it is a concert and not a small gig at a club but either way both should give warning. I pay to see a live act, not to hear some cd recording while the people on stage try to look cool. Though I would go one step further and make it illegal to not give an audeance warning that the show is lip-synced. Services not rendered and all that. annoys me to no end.

Fav. person on the forum.

I vote for Clockcat!

Wait a minute

It's a little strange to  me that this forum is called Freethinking Anonymous and then it strictly forbids Theists from posting anything. I'm not a theist persay, but I'm in no way an atheist. I just find it frankly rediculous to claim the ability to think freely as long as you don't think there's a God.

Hello, fellow atheists

I'm new here, and it appears this is where I say my hellos. So, hello! You can call me Z. I'm a graduate student in physics, and I blog at It's The Thought That Counts. I'm looking forward to being a part of this forum!
