My friend is new to the forums and just getting used to them which got me thinking about what he needs to know.
Obviously fab has set rules but what are the unwritten rules that help you make the most of the place?

"Rem_mber that everyone can read what you've written not just the person you're responding to. Represent yourself as you want to be seen."
Especially if you're being creepy or rude! |

Is Ghenghis still around? Not seen him around in ages and he was always funny."
Permanent ban I think? |

My green arrow must be all over the place.
Do your own thing is what I say. But, it all depends what you’re using the forums for I suppose. In the previous years I loved getting to know everyone, loved the socials and everything that came with it.
But, now, I haven’t got much time to spend on the forums but is nice to take my mind off a busy day and see what’s weird and wonderful in the world of fab.
Unwritten rule - do your own thing.

Dont message over and over and over again. If someone wants to reply they will.. when they are ready.
Dont let rejection put you off. There are thousands out there. You cant be everyone's cup of tea. |

"Always check the green arrow.. Not really a rule but definitely a useful thing to know
Why is that?? I never check the green arrow :/"
It's good for seeing the types of things someone posts, if they always do the same type of threads or if they are a bit of a wind up trying to get people to bite. |

Dont take it too serious, but be careful who you trust. And beware of little kik and WhatsApp groups of people having a laugh at your expense.
Other than that, just have fun  |

Oh right! Thanks for that T!
Also a couple of my own rules are...
* Take a decline with good grace, it doesn't mean you still can't chat to and be friends with them!
* Don't be a c*nt ! |

Not that I want to try but how do you get a permanent ban?? I didn’t know them but I suspect you got to piss off a lot of people to get that  |
