Don't cross post.

It's obviously a bad thing to do, but what does it mean?

I guess I should explain that, since I sometimes forget that phrases that are second nature to me are not to others. Cross posting is when somebody posts the same exact thread in different forums.

Butane: To protect the world from devastation!
sir_brilliant: To unite all people within our nation!
Rainman89: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
sir_brilliant: To extend out reach to the stars above!
SpaceGhostFlyer: Jessie!
Butane: James!
sir_brilliant: Team Rocket blasting off at the speed of light
Butane: Surrender now or prepare to fight
sir_brilliant: Meowth, that's right!

Ok, I'll make sure I don't do that.

Glad I read this thread to find out. I had thought it was something completely different.

Now I'm not as scared. I was part of a thread that was locked by Shishka for cross posting. For a second I thought he was mad at me and the thread creator. *Phew*

You could have PMed him for clarification...

Heh, whatever - glad it worked out for you.

I could have, but...actually, I don't know why I didn't. I guess I jumped to a wrong conclusion. However, it all worked out, so I just went around with a strange sense of fear for a bit until I read this thread.

lol. Ah, this brings back memories. Well, a memory, at least.

It was one of, if not the, very first thread I ever created. I posted it in New Mombasa. Then I posted it once more, in either here or the Underground. Can't remember which. A member kinda chewed me out for cross-posting, and said I could get blacklisted. So, in my fear of getting banned on my first thread, I got it off the first page by saying stupid things in every thread on the front page. It got bumped to second page, and all was well. Untl the same member sent me a PM saying that was spam and I could get banned.

lol

I pissed Maka off on my other account.

It was funny, I got Crotchpants and Sparty blacklisted.



And I think I might've cross posted once.

worst thing ever, was I think a PM from stosh telling me to watch my language, though I didn't even know what post he was talking about :/ It really is the worst in the Underground. At one point a few months ago all I saw on the front page were Halo 2 topics...ya it's just sad.

Sometimes referred to as "thread cloning".

It's taking a "shotgun approach" to the forums. Someone has something that they consider to be groundbreaking and absolutely everyone must see it. So they post it into every forum that they can.

Advertisers do it (once). Lazy people do it (and typically get warned). But no matter how you slice it, it means that a ninja has to clean up the mess. We HATE cleaning up after people. I mean we're freaking ninjas for Leela's sake! Not housekeepers.

Besides, the french maid's outfit isn't very flattering. Except on Stosh. He's so manly he somehow manages to make it look good.
He speaks the truth!

Um Recon, i'm pretty sure Stosh is a chick, unless Impurity is lying to me...
