So I've only posted twice and already made a big faux pas with the siggy post on my first day. (sorry again) Any other big ones I should know about off the bat to get me started?
So far from my lurking I have google it before you ask, and when in doubt POAS.
Re: Big no nos?
Siggy no no? What was it? Now you got me curious.
Don't delete a post even if you get flamed, but I doubt this is a problem since you handled the siggy problem well
For the most part just get a handle on how different people post, some are sarcastic and it could be taken as mean if you don't know them well. If you lurk mostly at first you'll do fine.
Welcome by the way
I originally thought this post was called "Big Na Nas".

The siggy no-no really isn't that big of a deal, all things considered. Plenty of people have made that mistake as a newbie, myself included.
I think the biggest no-no is not being able to have adult conversations. And, of course, being down right nutso.
Some of the best advice I see given is to have "big girl panties," i.e. being able to give and take criticism, differentiate sarcasm/humor from actual bitchiness, take responsibility for your actions and for educating yourself, etc. All the other "do this" sort of stuff falls underneath that umbrella, at least IMO.
GL!
now THAT would be a post to open
To OP.. a big no no is the word "preggo"/ "preggers".
Also, make sure to always use big girl words when discussing sex
Thanks for the advice everyone. Its all good to know for the future.
Words, does your H know about your obsession with flashing on the internet? He may have concerns..
