Only a small portion of the post needs to be quoted in order to show which post is being replied to.

Really enjoyed reading Bro thaivisitor's "Newbie's Guide" post. It's written in a tongue-in-cheek tone with a dash of humour and sarcasm. I especially like the part where he asked for newbie's adding points to centurions and " If you can't find anyone to add, add to mine "...Haha. More importantly, it covered all the guidelines for newbies. Great stuff.
I made my first post on the main forum the day after joining and somehow it appeared, but soon afterwards, I was back to moderation. But never mind, it's all part of the game and it's fun. It reminds me of the ragging and indoctrination that one has to go thru when joining a new org.
Anyway, I'll keep to the rules and behave myself. I'm sure I'll be having a great time here.

Can some enlightened samsters please explain the significance of the different colour codes next to our nick. Most are grey but there are some green ones. At first I thought green ones (like mine) are meant for newbies but looking thru the forum, I noticed that at least one other samster with 200+ rep points are also with a green colour code.???
Thanks buddies...still learning about this amazingly fun site.
