Sorry to doublepost, but i think this is easier put in a whole new post. I've added a "link to a certain part of the page" feature. Just add the #stuff to the end of the link (After the .php) and it will link there.
#rank - The Rankings #uprank - So how do I go up in ranks? #doublepost - Someone just moaned at me for posting more then once in a row, why? #spoiler,#spoilers - Spoilers #chat - Chat Talk #slang - PEEL Slang All words have their own # code too. #gendissc - Why is there a spelling error in the title of the 'General Disscussion' section? #offend,#alert - He just said something i find offensive, what do i do? #trollinfo - There's someone posting lots of crap and it's really annoying, what do i do? #test - What's this "Test Thread" I keep hearing about? #limit - My really popular and successful thread just got shut, why? #stars - What are those stars under my rank? #avatar - What's that picture next to people's names and how do i change it? #spam - Spamming? Spam? What’s that? #new,#welcome - Why was my "hi, I just joined" thread closed? #mods,#admins - What are moderators? And administrators? #closed - One of the moderators just closed 4 of my threads! They hate me! Why? #copy - How was I supposed to know there were another thread like that? #download - Why can’t we discuss episode downloading? #download2 - Okay, how about other downloads, like games? #scans - What are scans? #fanart - I have some fanarts I want to show you, but I don’t know how to post pictures on PEEL. #ubb - UBB Code #apostrophe - How to use the apostrophe ' #memberlist - I just checked the member list, and I'm not on it! What the hell...

Yeah, that's generally the conception people have of the term first time they see it used. Hence the great confusion when it's used in romantic/emotionally-charged threads.

Suggestion: You could explain some of the rituals at PEEL (PotM, PEELies, etc.). I know I was confused as hell the first time I heard about them.

"Typo" - Abbreviation for "Typographical Error" Classic! They’re the thin line between a well managed board Some of us are actually quite fat (vf) How to use the apostrophe Somebody should email that to Nurdy.

Oh, 'slate, you forgot the major exception, as far as I remember, to the apostrophe-possessive rule:
It's: it is Its: possessive of it.

Another entry:
I just checked the member list, and I'm not on it! What the hell...
The member list needs to be updated manually by [-mArc-], and it's done at irregular intervals. Don't expect it to happen anytime soon again. Your profile still functions though, since that's done automatically by the message board. If you're desperate to find yourself on the memberlist, use the search function and you'll pop up, since the seacrh scans the profiles. Being on the list have no influence on your status or posting privileges.
Feel free to edit as you find best, aslate.

If you use a cookie to store your username and password (Found here), then it auto-logs you in on the main page. When you refresh or visit the main page from then on a "Reply" box appears in the top right, with a list of topics to which someone has posted after you. This only applies to the first post after yours. The rules are that chat-style conversations that can be done on #Futuramachat or an instant messenger are not allowed, so most back-and-forth conversations are not allowed. However do not go editing posts to reply to ones made after it, or it gets confusing. However use the edit button whenever you to fix spellings or add extra info that isn't worth a new post. Never double-post unless bumping a topic that's been idle for a few days or more. Hope that helps!

@ aslata: Maybe something for the FAQ? My signature wont show, and I have uploaded a picture in the profile. Help!If you want your signature to appear on a post you have to use the Reply option, quickpost wont add signature. Once in the reply window, be sure to check the box "Show signature" and write your post as usual. You can't edit a post to add your signature. PEEL doesn't support automatic signature, that's an Invision Board feature.

Heh, reminds me of my first days at PEEL. I couldn't figure the sig thing out either, so I added it manually at the bottom of each post. I quickly learned though.

@Luis: No, the only thing reflected in the rank is number of posts. Quality have no bearing, sadly. The issue of it promoting spam have been brought up before, and it was decided to keep the ranks anyway. Most people don't care about ranks, and they don't carry any weight whatsoever. Just a bit of fun. The only ranks that matter is: Administrator, Ubermod and Moderator (and custom ranks )Though the administrators have reset post counts or deducted posts, before, when someone spammed the board just to raise their rank. But only admins can do that, deleting a post don't affect the postcount.
