The Door Opens - Update: The Door Closes
The registration door swings open and the turnstiles turn, clicking and counting the hatchlings as they enter.
If you decide to take that momentous step and register, it’s not a bad idea to read all the rules and commit them to memory. The short version:
- Don’t register with a proxy.
- Don’t register with a throwaway email address.
- Don’t register more than one account at a time from the same Internet connection.
- Don’t be a jerk.
- Don’t be a troll.
- Don’t be a sock puppet. Stinky Beaumont hates sock puppets. He will find you. You don’t want Stinky mad at you.
- If you’re registering just to post a dramatic “goodbye cruel world” comment full of insults and drool, don’t waste your time. Nobody’s going to read it. It will be immediately deleted and your account will be blocked.
- Do play nice.
And then everything will be groovy.
