Knowing when someone with one post is legit


So how are we supposed to know when someone comes on the board with one post that they're legit? What are qualities that set apart a real new poster from a fake?

I'll start:
1. They keep coming back and posting more

reply

6. They post in a thread devoted to a movie, not in the general area.

reply

I agree that that ups their credibility.

Why anyone questioned me initially after posting in General Discussion that I had been flying the galaxy in a spaceship I really don't know.

reply

If you had told them you were flying around in your supersonic rocket ship it would have been more believable.

Once again our ridiculous agendas converge.

As for my initial interactions here, I figured I might as well let people know who they were dealing with from the first moment.

reply

I think people knew what they were in for based on your previous incarnations, onelemon, twolemons and threelemons.

We have scrubbed all reference to previous versions to give you a fresh start but we probably won't tolerate fivelemons.

reply

I guess if I had to I could return as a cumquat.

reply

Or you could just behave and swear allegiance to Captain Kirk.

That last part is optional but upper management looks favourably upon Kirk fans.

reply

Since the one episode of Star Trek I've ever watched had him in it, I will. For you.

Don't expect me to get a tattoo of him or anything like that, though.

reply

Part of the allegiance is reminding samoanjoes at every opportunity that this his beloved Captain Picard:

It may seem like it would get old fast, but it doesn't.

reply

I'm going to leave that task up to you. You are the leader of the Kirk fan club. I'm only second banana.

reply

Also optional is having a full sized Kirk body pillow.

And if anyone, like samoanjoes, tells you that's gay, tell them it's for back support.

The fact that I have three of them, just means I got a good deal on them.

reply

So you're saying Kirk's got your back?

reply

I'm saying, I think I overshared.

reply

I've been fake for years

reply

It's never too late to be real.

7. They actually start threads rather than just posting responses

reply

A thread-starter is always an appreciated board member, especially if they come back and provide responses to posters in their threads (where appropriate).

reply

8. They don’t ask you to check out their review site.

reply

9. They don’t ask data mining questions.

reply

10. They don't have a bunch of random numbers in their name.

reply

11. They don’t have 100 other similarly named sock accounts.
