Hello, Victim

THIS IS SERIOUS; READ IT.

Congratulations on joining ED! You probably fit into one of these categories:

1. New User

Before making your first article look over ED:101. Try checking out random articles and fixing typos, grammar and/or bullshit where you find them before trying to make a new page. To start with, make multiple small edits to different articles until you have the hang of it. If you don't, it is unlikely that your article will survive for more than sixty seconds and you risk being molested by ED Sysops.

If you don't know anything about wiki formatting and code, please read ED:BASIC and the Style Guide. Take your time and start slowly.

2. Mediawiki Migrant If you're an experienced wiki user (probably from a Wikipedia offshoot) who knows how to operate, please read ED:101 for offical policy and ED:MIGRANT for tips on assimilation and basic rules.

Whichever you are, to successfully contribute to ED, please take some time to look around, note why other people get banned and don't act like they did.

Communication with other users prevents misunderstandings and can be done through talk pages, TJC and the mailing list.

If you plan on sticking around, feel free to make your mark on the ED:Map and join the all new ED Facebook, the ED Myspace the ED Bebo and follow the ED Twitter.

One hour ban! That'll learn ya to sign comments in discussion pages! --Jacknstock 16:23, 10 Oct 2005 (UTC) (big man on campus)

• On a sidenote, you can sign your messages by adding 4 tildes (~) at the end of your story, so we know who said what. Thank you. ~ Banaan 17:23, 10 Oct 2005 (UTC)
  • On another interesting side note, NarkAgent had a written apology from "_sterlingroses_" regarding the article. How funny is that?!!! Victim 11:36, 18 Oct 2005 (UTC)
    • Noone cares - CATS 12:25, 18 Oct 2005 (UTC)
      • That's kind of funny, because someone obviously cared enough to write the article. Dumb arse cunt. Victim 21:35, 2 Nov 2005 (UTC)
        • Could you please consider acting a bit more mature? If not, we'll gladly baninate you, as we say here on ED: You won't be missed.. ~ Banaan 10:39, 3 Nov 2005 (UTC)
          • Could you please consider the hypocricy in that statement? Bearing in mind this website seems to ooze immaturity out of every orifice, not to mention revel in petty bitching. This is supposed to be a wiki, but what a crap one it is when you wont let people edit the articles to make them more accurate. You're not interested in fact. You're interested in slagging people off and that's really mature. Congrats. Please ban me. I don't want to come back. You're all a bunch of wankers. Victim 20:03, 6 Nov 2005 (UTC)
          • Oi cunts, where the fuck is my ban? Or have you decided that now I asked for it that you don't want to ban me? What does someone have to do to get banned around here?Victim 17:42, 9 Nov 2005 (UTC)
