Adopt a Newbie!

DearJenny · 09-01-2007, 10:40 PM

This went great on another forum I'm in. Any active member here for longer than six months is eligible to adopt a newbie(those who join in at least, some think they're too cool to have a mentor). The member who adopts the newbie is then their "mentor" for their first six months here or until the mentor deems them eligible for release into the MB world alone, in which time the newbie can then become a mentor for others. Now the members in charge of newbs can and will be held fully responsible for their actions, so teach them well! And this MAY be treated as a draft. Trades are allowed, and returning them is also allowed. Hopefully this will work out well because its fun on the other forum.

So, the point of this thread:

NEWBIES: Post if you would like an adoptive mentor to look out for you.

MEMBERS: First come, first serve. Newbies who post here as avalible are open game.

I'm willing to adopt a newbie and train him/her in the way of the Crowquill.

Nigga/******/Nig or any other variations of the term isn't allowed. Same goes for honky, chink, spic etc.

That would fall under etc. No derogatory nicknames for any race allowed.

cracka doesn't mean anything. ****** has historical context which is what makes it offensive.

that and any offensive words for jews should not be allowed. cracka, honky, *****, etc. mean nothing. they dont have any historical context. banning them is stupid.
