From the Newbie Guide pinned to the top of the board....
"First thing: it is against the forum rules to ask if you are pregnant (straight forward or in a round about way) and to post pictures of HPTs asking about lines. A line is a line=pregnant. The only place you can post your HPT is What Does A Positive Test Look Like in First Tri."
Please remove the picture of the thing you peed on. We don't want to look at it.
Seriously?!?! Two today already? And it's only Sunday....
I am a little worried about how many people are potentially pregnant, but lack literacy skills or common sense to read the Newbie Guides (or the header at the top of the page)...doesn't bode well for our country.
Oh honey… these things don't fly around here. Please don't post pics of anything you've peed on in a public forum. 1) There's actually a thread for this. 2) It's against TOU. 3) I don't see a second line.

I vote insanity. I feel like that is the only logical explanation for coming into a forum, completely disregarding the TOU and posting a pee stick for a bunch of strangers to interpret for you.
It's against the TOU to post pics of your pee tests OP.
But just an FYI, I can tell that's a blue dye test. I've had lines appear like that on those type of tests and I have never been pregnant. Don't trust blue dyes -- go get a pink dye test.

Thank you for just informing me and not being rude. I really do appreciate that. I honestly didn't know.
I'm glad that you all have nothing to do but be mean to others.
But is it truly mean if it's spelled out so clearly on the board before you even begin to post? Or does it just seem mean to those who don't read it first, or lurk?
Honestly I came here to flame you for posting a bfp but that test is so obviously negative that I laughed out loud. Your test won't get any more positive by "tweaking" the image and shoving it in strangers faces.

OP if you take the time to read the pinned posts and lurk a little, you'll find this is an awesome community full of supportive and wonderful women. We just don't like when people wander in, disregard the board culture, and wave their pee sticks at us. I think you'll find that true of most people...

I sure do love it when I get another BFN and then come to TB and see someone completely disregarding the rules to show me their possible BFP test. Thanks OP
OP - I'm really sorry that you "didn't know there were rules". But they are stickied at the very top of the thread. And they use really clear words like "guidelines" and "read this first". So we're not the rude ones, you are.
This is a board of women TRYING to get pregnant. Don't you think a better place for that is a board of women who have ACTUALLY gotten pregnant? Spoiler Alert - the first tri board has a thread specifically for this.
Originally no one was mean to you, they just told you that your post isn't allowed here. When you do something wrong, the appropriate language is "I'm sorry. I'll go read the rules." Not whine that people aren't being friendly. Sorry, we didn't blow smoke up your butt and tell you that you're totes magoats pregnant.
If you're not pregnant, I hope you stick around. You'll find a group of women who are awesome and compassionate. We support each other through the trials and tribulations that is TTGP. I've learned so much from these women, and they have gotten me through some rough times. Read the rules, and begin to participate in our established threads. Getting flamed the first time you're here doesn't mean you won't be welcomed to join. We've all been flamed at one point or another. It's how you respond.
If you take another test later that comes back positive, no need to update us. Congrats - move right along to your birth month.
But, for what it's worth, and I sware I'm not being spiteful, but I don't see a line. Not even a faint one.
ETA: words. helps when you use the right ones.

@dancecreationgrl I find it really interesting that you're yelling at us for being "rude," yet you're the one who so rudely barged into our community without reading the CLEARLY PINNED RULES AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE AND violated the terms of usage that YOU agreed to when you joined the bump. But yes, clearly we're the rude ones.

This. That's always how I feel about drive-by's who post their pregnancy tests.
1. You have to agree to TOU when you sign up for TB 2. There are posts pinned at the top of the board with how this group / community on this board works 3. Since you can't immediately post right after making an account, didn't you take the time to lurk and see how it works? Clearly not.
I'm glad that you all have nothing to do but be mean to others.
You're being mean to the wonderful ladies here by posting this in their face. If you actually are KU, it's very insensitive for the ladies here who continue to struggle.

And can't figure out how to read an HPT when the instructions are literally on the box, in the box, on the stick.
