I thought about that but there is another FAQ for that so I left it out, trying to keep them short and simple.

why is

this deleted? what is the rationale of downvoting this when a time and date utility link is fine? this is a web utility site too.

« Hoosker : What I liked from both of your excellent descriptions. I hope you two don't mind.

What is plime? Plime is a pliable tree of interesting links, cultivated and pruned by everyone.
What does that mean? This means that Plime is a place to share interesting links, news stories, and videos. Plime is a "Wiki-like" user editable news aggregator. It relies on the power of it's community participation to control it's structure and editorial content.
It's also a great place to meet others with similar interests.

Oh, and browntrout, maybe you could edit the title of the thread.

« Goldielocks7300 : My first article I submitted here was on slip and slides and a funny experience I had when I made one. It was down voted and it wasn't spam or trolling.

Your personal funny experience from when you made one? Sounds like a blog or personal website of yours. This is against the rules, and is considered spamming/splogging. Please see the FAQ link on the right side of the screen for the most up to date clarifications.

Welcome to plime.

« donteatpoop : Here's a few for the FAQ (hey, that rhymed). Feel free to tweak them to fit your definitions so that we can have more comprehensive guidelines and not just donteatpoop's opinions on the matter.

When should I upvote a link/post/comment/thread? Upvotes can be used when you find one of the above to be informative, interesting, or amuzing, or provoke discussion.

When should I downvote a link/post/comment/thread? Negative Votes can be applied when you find one of the above to be rude, insulting, spamming, or trolling. Articles that are not of interest to you should not be down voted. Comments that contradict your opinion should not be downvoted unless the comment is derogatory and/or offensive.

Do I have to up/down vote everything? No. There is no need to up or down vote things that are not of interest to you, or do not have any impact on your enjoyment of the site.

My first article I submitted here was on slip and slides and a funny experience I had when I made one. It was down voted and it wasn't spam or trolling.

« bonsai1776 : I have seen some profile pages with different colors. Can I change my profile colors? Yes you can.

How do I change my colors? Go to your profile page and click on the settings tab. From there a new set of tabs will appear below. Click on the "Colors" tab. From here you can customize your profile page with which ever colors you choose.

Can I change other colors on the site? As you reach a higher level (5) you will be able to modify other colors on the site. It is customary to ask in the forums first. Some people might be attached to those colors. This process is done in much the same manner as above but you must be in the category settings tab.

unzercharlie @ 9/12/2008 3:28:36 PM

Why do I see an edit button on someone elses post?

Once you've reached a certain level, you will be able to edit comments of those with lower karma points than yourself. The community expects you to use this power responisibly. You should only edit someone elses post if it contains something that is spam, not safe for work, or highly offensive. Do not edit someone elses comment to be funny, it's not.

(This should go somewhere too)
Remember that you have your karma score because other members gave it to you. These people expect you to act in a way that would encourage appropriate participation by new members. If you break the rules, the members who gave you your karma points are likely to take them back.

there are a ton of accounts like that.

Nothing to do about it. They certainly don't hurt anyone.

Heck they may even bring people to plime since some people searching for item-x will see one of the multiple plime accounts whose bios are similar to this one.

« tragluk : New Question:

Should I upvote my own comment? I've noticed that some people do, some don't. I've never upvoted my own comment but I notice that it 'autovotes' when I add a news article (Just to push it off the deleted list).

Does voting for my own stuff incease my Karma? Probably. If I do it enough. Do I think it's right? Technically, no. But I was curious what others thought about it.

You're the 2nd person to ask that question today. Interesting.

And no, it doesn't add to your karma. Furthermore, it's bad for your health. It is called plasturbation, and it will make you plind.

(OK, I admit that I recycled an old comment of mine here. Karma whore me.)

Jerry520 @ 9/8/2008 3:47:32 PM

Nope, it does nothing for your karma either way.

« Browntrout : Good ideas from all...

I was suggesting that a new thread be started that would hold the FAQ's in a more formal format as Hoosker suggested.

Bonsai's suggestion that we post/discuss them here first is also good. It would allow us to agree on answers before they're posted.

If Jax would like us to compile the FAQs then I think this would be a good way to get started pooling the questions and answers that are floating around throughout the forum.

DEP has started us off on the right foot and I like the bold format for the question.

I'd like to add to the Plime definition as follows:

What is plime? Plime is a "Wiki-like" user editable news aggregator. It relies on the power of online community participation to control it's structure and editorial content. It's also a great place to meet others with similar interests.

Here are some other questions (that may have already been answered)...

What is Karma?

What is that little number inside my star?

How often does my user rating change?

What can I do at higher user levels?

What are the scores on the Karma Leader Board?

How do I submit a link?

Why are good keywords important in submitting a link?

What is a "Dupe?"

What is the "Popular" tab for?

What is the "Deleted" tab for?

Why is the sky blue?

Is Elvis really dead?

« aoeu : I'm not him, but I do agree, especially because the entire rank system is, well, unorthodox to say the least. a good faq would go a long way to perhaps garnering more members (by reducing the learning curve, even though that term usually applies to video games?).

« unoriganl : How can I change the account I have now to my regular email address?

In your account settings, choose the edit tab (default). Change your e-mail adress.

If that doesn't work (though it should), Jaxomlotus is probably the only one who can change it for you. He seems to be kinda busy these days, so I'd recommend you'd try on your own, before messaging him.

I never noticed that "message" and "massage" were so close together. Spellingwise.

unoriganl @ 8/17/2007 3:27:12 AM

When I first tried to sign up for Plime I entered my email address and username.I then received a error message saying the site would be back.I backed up and retried submitting, the next time I received a message saying that both my username and email address where currently in use.I tried using lost password hoping it would send me a new password but no go.How can I change the account I have now to my regular email address?

READ THE UPDATED FAQ

EDIT: This is the discussion thread for the FAQ. Click the link above to read the FAQ in its current form.

You can also click the link in the right column.

We've been discussing various aspects of Plime and a lot of people have been providing good explanations and guidance. Makes sense to consolidate them in one place until your formal FAQ is set up.

This way it could be reviewed and edited in one place as well. What do you think?
