Gaaboard Etiquette - Dos and Don'ts

[Frankie Boy]

First question - when you post a joke on the gaaboard, how do you inform other 'posters' that it is a joke:
a) Without taking away from the joke.
b) Without writing ha ha or lol at the end of the joke.
c) Not adding one of those stupid smiley things at the end.

Is "I'm joking, by the way" acceptable? If so, I might make it my signature. lol (my last, I swear)

Anyway, feel free to discuss other issues.

Pintsofguinness - I think the icons are stupid, even worse than lol or ha ha.

[pintsofguinness]

Some people dont' put anything when they joke and let people work it out for themselves.

lol haha makes you look simple and people are unlikely to take you seriously.

Your first line, Zulu didn't get that I was joking.

Your last line, that's the point.

Oh, apart from looking simple.

Don't keep writing lol/haha- if it is a joke, people aren't dense, they will realise this without you having to say lol/haha in every practically every reply you make.

The icons are dead on and most people don't mind them.

Just because a hot woman is mentioned in a thread-must we then need to endure the inevitable responses from certain posters wanting to sh*g her/do her etc etc and detract from the actual thread itself?

*All of the above is just my opinion so other answers may vary*

You're first line, Zulu didn't get that I was joking.

Poor oul Will was always the first to get it...

[Frankie Boy]

Ok, you have both said the same thing regarding the jokes i.e Just leave it how it is (I'm not going to use those icons, I think they're silly).

Just in my very short experience (1 joke post) of not saying lol or ha ha, Zulu asks, "That's a joke I presume?"
Then I have to go back and say, "Yes, that is a joke, Zulu."
Very long winded and takes away from the original joke.

As for "I'd shag her", fair enough, didn't know that I'd touched a nerve. But, I probably would.

[Niall Quinn]

LOL. HA HA!

[wrecked_em]

[Frankie Boy]

Who the hell is rectum? How do you know my name and why did you post it on here?

And no, I'm not O'neill or one of his irratable characers.

Ignore me if you want, I'll be doing the same with you.

[Mac hinery]

Frankie, your e-mail address is a bit of a give away unless it's a double bluff O'Neill

[pintsofguinness]

O'neill is not the biggest culprit for multiple usernames on this board and he wasnt armaghforsam either.
