    Yes. It's a very friendly place with users well above average in intelligence, a watchful owner and a few anonymous mods who go skulking around looking to ferret out troublemakers. Once they find them, we all gather around a huge cauldron where we have them for supper. Everything you've heard about trolls being delicious is true! -)

    Going strictly by the stats, an 'average' western IQ is somewhere between 100 and 120.  'Well above' would be in excess of that. :-)

  • Yes ... it used to be rule number 1 on this site, in the Terms Of Service (TOS), but it has been moved to #5.
      If I were you, I would still treat it as though it were #1.

      5. "Lastly, you can’t say anything bad about coffee."     That’s just not cool. :) This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at October 5, 2016 1:24 PM MDT

  • Hi Alex,
    Welcome! :)
    Try anything and everything that attracts you - questions, blogs, statements, groups, polls, messages (when you've collected a friend or more,) & chat windows.
    Take your time getting the feel of things and experimenting with how things work.
    After a while, you'll get to know the flavour of each avatar and which ones you feel attracted to wanting to know better.
    Some people here like to play act - they have rapid changes of avatars which go with different behaviours, questions and answers - impossible to guess who they are behind the scenes. It's a very mild form of trolling which doesn't transgress the ToS but can be very confusing if you're not used to it.
    Some people get their best kicks from irony and or sarcasm - it often doesn't register as what it is without tone of voice or facial expression - but once you know who they are, you know who to not take seriously.
    Some people are direct - what they say is exactly who they are.
    After a while, you'll get to know who's who.
    We really are like a kind of community.
    Hope you enjoy us. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at October 5, 2016 1:24 PM MDT
