[AB Editor]

About The AnswerBank, what would it be?

[joggerjayne]

It's orange?

[Arksided]

not to panic about not instantly getting an avatar.

[Old_Geezer]

Don't upset the Ed.

[jno]

it's impolite to say "I only want nice people to answer".

[Anlyn]

As an experimental and tentative new user I have no idea. It will be interesting to read what others think.

[Frank97]

If you're struggling with a crossword clue then this is the place to go.

[nannybooby]

have a good read of serveral threads before you engage.Some posters are sooo far out that they only want to argue. We all know the ones !

[mazie]

It really is much appreciated to say "Thank You" when people have given you the answer to a crossword or quiz.

[TheOtherHalf]

Please be nice and you might get better answers

[cazzz1975]

read the posts first, dont assume anything, familiarise yourself with the Site Rules

though for a newbie the Site Rules are not obvious to find.

[andy-hughes]

Don't get involved in petty arguments, they are a waste of your valuable time.

[joggerjayne]

TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK, OR EVERYONE WILL THINK YOU ARE SHOUTING!!

[jason.p]

Don't take replies too personally and get upset by them. Sometimes the typed word can come across not as the writer intended.

[Ann]

Just be nice and friendly to others, you never know when you will need their advice or help.

[Vicasso]

Totally ignore idiot postings that could be described as insulting, malicious, spiteful etc. Those posters thrive on eliciting a response.

Post in an appropriate section. The 'Editors Blog' is for his personal use and 'Suggestions' is for ideas which may assist the Ed with the smooth running and possible improvement of the site.( Incidentally, the best site for Questions and Answers.)

Remember its real people behind the avatars and offer the same courtesy that you'd show folk you meet in the real world.

[RATTER15]

Dont post anti Islamic cartoons about child abuse.

[cupid04]
