A primer for the Newbies

  Since every day our ranks grow with new enlistments to the hobby and these Newbies bring with them the same questions asked by countless prior Newbies I am compiling a basic primer with links to various questions, answers and subjects commonly asked by freshmen. As more topical subjects come to my attention I will add them to the below list and occasionally “re-post” for the benefit of the newest among us.

Ladies & gentlemen “Hobby on”

If you're wondering why your post didn't appear here, I moved 4 posts to other more appropriate boards. Please remember this board is for general questions about the hobby.

Thanks for understanding.

There is such good information here, clearly worth reading and re-reading.  So let me ask what has probably been asked before (if so, sorry)

Has there been any consideration to setting this up as permanent link on the newbie board?  Would eliminate the repeat questions from those who do not know how to use the search features or are just too lazy.

I am currently working on updating a series of informational links that will be posted here at regular intervals (search tutorials and penalties for excessive laziness will also be included).

Other moderators and members will be able to cross-reference those Newbie Info and FAQ post links on the regional boards when addressing questions locally.

The problem with creating a permanent link is that  most content on TER is supplied by members, not TER.  However, the recurring informational posts will include links to 'official' TER info located on the site.

In an effort to subsidize my Satyric activities I've secured legal counsel for both Patenting and Trade-marking my "Newbie Primer"

(Hell it works for Pfizer, Micro-Soft, Disney etc)  ;0)

Straight from the TER Privacy Policy page:
http://www.theeroticreview.com/info_policies/privacyPolicy.asp

"Please remember that any information disclosed either in the review section, or on the message boards, becomes public."

"By using this site, you signify your assent to TER’s Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please do not use our site. If you do continue to visit TER, we will assume that you have agreed to the conditions and terms under which we operate."

Now, for a nominal fee, deposited directly into the bank account of the moderator, we may be able to arrange for you to retain some intellectual property rights...

Your overt actions towards bribery are a clear sign that you should be in politics.  PLEASE don't share these tactics with TheMealTicket; so far he's only charging one member of the LV board, although he's convinced him that we're all paying.

BTW, for a small fee, I'll keep quiet about all of this.

They appreciate/respect a venal nature such as yours and I'm sure a mutually beneficial agreement can be made ;0)

My attorneys will include your unsolicited testimonial in their "brief"

Ok, I have been searching, reading down and the like.  Where do I find a link that explains the symbols explaining "feeling" when posting a reply.  I get the and but am not clear on the &, D and X.  Is the legend for this posted somewhere?  If not, how about including it in abbreviations.
 Many thanks
