Yes Another Post But Hey It's Important
Since it had recently been brought to attention of people's displeasure with things along the lines of joining open threads only to be insta-shoved out I have looked it over and decided to present some somewhat official solutions.
For starters on the topic of posting open. Don't ever post open unless you seriously mean open. If you are posting open in effort to bait for someone you wanted to play with don't. Either talk to the person first and work it out from there or if you really wanna be daring you can attempt to put them in the 'who' line and close it. (Though if you don't talk to them about it before hand I will never guarantee they will respond.)
Also if you jump in an open thread in progress and don't have to be escorted out you should probably give yourself a reason to be there and a reason to stick around. Yes it does suck if you jump in and get some what tossed out a few comments later but if you jump in and just wander around in confusion then you're disrupting what is already going on and really leaving no IC choice.
In addition to that, and I can't stress this one enough, don't jump in a thread in progress if you're only going to be around for less than an hour. It's rude to the people who are in it at that time because then when you leave a few minutes later you bring them to a stand still.
Oh and if you join in a thread you personally didn't post and it has more than one other person make sure you TRACK it. (Do so by clicking the thumb tack looking thing at the top of the post.) If you don't then you will NOT get e-mail responses for that thread and will NOT know when it's your turn again. (Unless you're just sitting there staring at the page refreshing it every couple of minutes)
Any questions, comments, concerns, additions to this you'd like to make?
