I want to leave my problems behind whenever I visit here, not pick up baggage from the admins. I humbly request that you do a little self evaluation. If that isn't a realistic expectation, then enjoy. Out of here. Response: I'm pretty confused, tag. I'd be happy to discuss whatever is bothering you, so please feel free to PM me and explain what the problem is -- Okie

Stretch your spoliering wings a bit and let your voice be heard. You don't have to come up with the spolier of the century, present the world's finest analysis, or make a comment on every comment. However, you need to establish some kind of history before you get a badge. This is not to say that you're being put through some kind of tryout process in which you must prove your worthiness as a top-rate spoiling god. You just need to demonstrate that you adhere to the very simple guidelines for being a MESS'er as delineated in the applicable guidelines posts. If you've asked for a MESS badge and you haven't gotten a reply, this applies to you. You haven't been told no, you've just not been told yes yet. For those thinking of asking for a badge but haven't asked for one yet, get to know the MESS first and let the MESS get to know you.

Number of days we hear it will be, who is rumored to be involved, and locations? It seems like that's in the news more than anything to do with S3 or S4... Response: Good suggestion, blu... a new thread springs forth.

Posts: 2049 (08/08/01 10:32 AM) MESS member Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Ummm, Okie... I was given a special badge by BeefJerky back in April or May, (I think)... Did I do something wrong to lose my exclamation point? ~~sad cherubic face with large brown soulful eyes~~ I promise to make it up to you... just let me know what I did. ~~fluttering her eyelashes at Okie~~ Response: Don't worry, Syn... you did nothing wrong. Back in the day, Beef decided to try giving personalized nicks out. It quickly became apparent that it was a bit of a bad idea. We can keep up with the requests for "MESS member" badges, but beyond that we've decided to stick with the generic subnics. Since we've had renewed requests recently for personalized subnics, and we reiterated our decision not to assign them, I went ahead and took your exclamation point back. Just trying to be fair and consistent. If it's any consolation, the others who had special subnics had theirs taken back many moons ago. And when we see "MESS member" under your name, we'll be thinking "!" in our pretty little heads.

I lurked during S2, and I really want to be a contributor to the boards for S3. Although I haven't posted a lot since I registered (not much history for you to look at, I know), I promise to post responsibly and politely. Response: Badged. Welcome, HH... Now: time to break that nasty lurking habit!

Posts: 1050 (08/08/01 4:02 PM) MESS member Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Okie, Could we start a new thread for confirmed contestant info? MBR stated we now have 2 confirmed names. This way we could post background bio info. about each person and then compare what we have found out verses what MB puts up on the CBS site? (give ssstefffii the credit for that idea!) The only name I know is Linsey Richter. Response: Good idea, Que. We actually had a thread for this, but I did a pretty poor job assigning the title. I've updated the title now, so spoil them thar contestants to your hearts' content!

Posts: 177 (08/10/01 1:58 AM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I think I have credentials: For starters, I broke the "merged tribe" story before anyone else (major sites) on the web: www.3bigshows.com/survivo...oile.shtml I even have some nasty grams from sucks to prove that they wanted the claim to fame, but couldn't match my publishing times. LOL Then, I helped break the infamous "html coding" red herring: www.3bigshows.com/survivo...oile.shtml I even have the infamy of having been awarded an interview, and then, based on that article, told by the head Publicist for Survivor that my interview would have to wait until after the airing of the final episode because, and I quote, "Unfortunately, because your site is quite proactive on revealing spoiler information, we cannot permit interviews with any survivors through the broadcast of the finale. I'm sure you understand." Other insider information that I provided/published that was not true "spoiler" information: Mitchell's email address (well, SOME people cared!) Exclusive interviews with Jeff V. (twice) and his mom, including Jeff's scathing attack on Mike Skupin. www.realitytvrules.com/gw...index.html I even issued a formal, public challenge to Mark Burnett to hire me: www.3bigshows.com/survivo...rnot.shtml Shameless, I know...but gutsy. Come on...I got credentials. Lemme in.... -Gwennie Response: Quite the walk down memory lane... Welcome to the MESS Hall, Gwennie...

Posts: 122 (08/18/01 8:57 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I would be honored if I were bestowed a Mess Badge. I realize that you most likely don't know much about me, as I posted on Survivorsucks.com and ellipsiiis under a different name. I am a spoiler fanatic and am here for the long haul. I've been dabbling in the spoiler section, and have unearthed a possible contestant. I enjoy the spoiler rush and would be delighted for a badge. Response: Welcome to The Hall, BTF.

Red and Greens seem to effect most of us. Would it be possible to change to any color other than the two mentioned above? Sorry if people like this new background, but I am now blind as a bat. MBR Response: The MESS should now be color-blind friendly.

Posts: 4 (08/20/01 10:30 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I have a really stupid question. Don't laugh or anything (however if you do, I'll understand). What are these badges that everyone speaks of? No, really, English is my first language, and I know what a badge is. But how is that relevant here? Sincerely -Stupid Response: Not a stupid question. KeithRulz explains pretty well in the next post.

Posts: 123 (08/21/01 8:43 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	We all have little "badges" right under our names at the left. Mine says, "MESS Member." Others say "Registered User." Or whatever. Question for everyone: Now that Survivor Sucks has bit the dust, I'm assuming that site won't do the Fantasty Outback bit (or an African equivalent). Where will we be putting our collective monies where our mouths...err...is. KeithRulz (AkA Final3Rulz) Response: There will be several fantasy Survivor games available. However, don't be so sure that FOB won't be making a return appearance... Will update you when news is available.

Posts: 16 (09/01/01 2:26 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I think there should be a post as we get "on season" entitled "Newbies: Please Read Before Posting" which gives the rules and description of who we are and why we have a seperate board and what the purpose of MESS is. And it should be bumped everyday to make it painfully obvious (with edits, not new posts, silly). On-Season we're going to get errant posts every day entitled "What is this Forum for?" or whatever if this isn't done. We've gotten enough Off-Season. On-Season it should be horrendous. And if you're saying "You're a newbie. You only have like six or seven posts," you obviously haven't been around here long enough to recognize an old hand with a new Nick. Response: I see your point. I'll put together a banner for the top of the forum sometime in the not too distant future.

Posts: 654 (09/01/01 6:32 PM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	So the reason there are "two" spoiler forums? Would it not be more effective to moderate the board a bit better instead of this? Or is this supposed to be a collection/resource area? Again, if you don't want spoilers talking about Amber's "hot" butt, then moderate the board!! There is a sucks forum and an OT forum that appear to be simialiar when in fact, as I recall the design was meant to flame survivor on sucks, spoil on spoilers, speculate on speculation, etc. So, this being MESS, just what is this mess? Response: You can get a good idea of what the MESS is by reading the first post of each thread and the subsequent posts by MESS contributors. Beyond that, perhaps your other questions would be more appropriate in the FAQ.
ssstefffii	Poll feature ?	#58	[-]
Posts: 719 (09/06/01 6:51 PM) MESS member Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Okie, I noticed on some other ez boards that there is a poll feature, where posters can vote for one of a number of options in a thread. Is there any way to install that over here in MeSS ? It would make it easier for you and the elusive stlou to compile MeSS picks when the season starts, wouldn't it ? Response: We definitely could start polls in The Hall. We've considered such polling options since the inception of the MESS. Chief among the reasons for not conducting a poll to formulate the MESS picks is the fact that such a poll gives equal voice to everyone who casts a vote, regulars and multiple ghosts alike. While the Spoilers forum has its vote thread, open to anyone who wishes to cast a vote, the MESS has granted more weight to the opinions of those who have actively participated in the discussions. While such a policy may be viewed as less democratic, it more accurately represents the opinion of those who have worked to help the MESS reach a conclusion.While this method allows subjectivity to dominate, it also serves to credit those who have taken an active role in reaching the MESSy conclusions.

Posts: 205 (09/25/01 9:23 PM) I'm with STUPID! Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Hi guys... I would be really grateful if I would be issued with a mess badge. I have been posting at these ezboards now since the end of SII, and when I do post I don't post gibberish. I had an open mind about the 18 contestant theory, hell, I started it, but now I am ready to concede my case. I think my open nature will contribute to the mess hall, and I hope that you will issue me a badge. Thanks, CoReY Response: Badged. Welcome to The Hall, ozman.

Posts: 8226 (09/26/01 6:13 AM) MESS SPECtrometer Emeritus Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Since most of what we have been talking about is now either known or about to be known and we will now be talking about the ACTION of the game instead of the circumstances, I think it's time to open a new thread. In fact I think we need a new special thread solely for pre-game analysis/predictions. I think this is an important time. This is where we should be honing our speculation instincts. Ans of course we should have some fun keeping a record of how on/off we were. Response: Good suggestion, sunsawed. Obviously, the new thread has already been started. Just didn't want to leave this sitting without a response.
