I'm new here (obviously, but I don't know how to title this thing)

[OblivionRapture]

So, I have to look around here to get a feel for it myself, but is there anything I should know right away, the kind of stuff that's too stupid to ask? Also, is swearing allowed, and is there an FAQ?

Hi there, OblivionRapture!

Welcome to the Shard; I'm bleeder. I like music and stuff.

Uh, try not to double-post. Swearing will be filtered, and there is not an FAQ to my knowledge.

Here's Chaos (our wonderful head admin) and his welcome thread though!

Oh, and don't eat the cookies.

If you need anything else, give me a shout! See you around.

Hey, welcome to the forum!
If you try swearing, be prepared to call people absolute chulls.
And maybe don't eat the cookies, unless you want a voice in your head.

Er, what is double posting exactly? posting the same thing twice? Sorry, it's been a decent while since I've been active on any sort of forums

[A Budgie she/her]

No, just when you post a comment, and then you post a second comment, with no one posting in between those comments.

Double posting is posting one after another, not necessarily the same thing.

Like, if you posted "Hi there everyone." 

And then put another post, directly after, saying "I just ate lunch." 

It's much less hassle to put it all in one post, rather than two, and also poor etiquette to double post.

If you need to add more information into a previous post, there's a wee edit button beside the quote button you can use.

And if you need to quote more than one person at a time, the little plus will allow you to MultiQuote.

Welcome Oblivion! Have an upvote! I'm Shqueeves and will gladly answer any more questions you have. 

As far as I know, swearing is allowed and there is no FAQ (there might be one, but I haven't searched for one)

As for stuff you should avoid, the cookies will Ruin your appetite, and the Reckoners isn't Cosmere

Have a nice day (or night)

Hello Oblivion, welcome to the 17 shard. I'm Bartimaues. Here have a cookie.

[KnightRadiant she/her]

Welcome OblivionRapture! Hope you enjoy our little corner of the internet! Have an upvote! If you have questions, feel free to ask. Sorry I'm a little late getting to this...

Also, avoid the cookies. They Ruin lives.

What books by Brandon have you read?

[Exalted]

*groans at the rapidly-rising number of Ruin puns*

Please, let's all just forget the cookies and live in Harmony.
