Soc.singles FAQ, long version, available at http://www.trygve.com/ssfaq-long.html .


No personal ads. No commercial ads. No whining.

  • Soc.singles is a discussion group. Newsgroups and websites intended for personal ads are down the hall and to the left. There are dozens of them; posting your personal ad to soc.singles will only convince potential mates who might otherwise have been interested that you're a clueless dork.
  • Commercial ads will annoy your intended market and are likely to result in complaints to your service provider. There are newsgroups suitable for commercial ads; use them instead.
  • Whine at your own risk. Your readers will let you know if they think you're whining and should just get over it. Don't take yourself or this newsgroup too seriously. If you find your blood pressure rising or you feel the urge to attack or threaten other writers, turn off your computer, return your tray table to its upright and locked position, take three deep breaths, and go play outside.

Finally, don't forget that while you are conversing with real people on the other side of your monitor, they are likely to be more bold and blunt than they are in real life because they can be. Expect to have your leg pulled, your chain yanked, and your goat gotten. Write stupid and angry responses at your own risk: you never know who else is reading and it'll only encourage people who get off on seeing just how much they can annoy you. For external use only, if rash persists, discontinue use and consult a physician.
