Sexy new way to boost forum coolness. (The Herald Thread)

That is an improvement,I'm sure that my punctuation was incorrect.

Uh,is anything of worth still happening on this thread?

I just wanted to be sure,that is all.

Just be patient. Once someone looks at it, they'll tell you what to do.(rewrite it, you now being a herald, whatever) The wiki has been somewhat busy lately, so...

I shot Lu a PM about editing a couple messages, so she may come check here as well. There is often delay, don't worry.

That's nice to know,so what else goes on in here?

Usually requests for changes to our messages if we need them, related questions that come up and need to be answered (like "How do I get the badge?", "how does the message work?", etc.), other stuf like that.

That's cool,I hope I can become a herald.

Sorry folks. My new operating system has been a nightmare so far. Now...

I need a new herald for World Building, since the previous one is largely gone. Is anyone interested? Otherwise, I'll just go poking in that subforum.

So as far as this thread is concerned,what is the current agenda?

I would like to volunteer to be a herald.

I'm willing to accept the World Building herald position. Do I have to make another greeting?

I also made greetings for two subforums:

Here's my rough draft for forum games:

"Howdy [[troper]]! Welcome to the Forum Games subforum!

If you received this, you most likely made your first post in this subforum. Well, I guess I should give you the skinny.

The Forum Games is for the most part pretty much what it seems like: a place where tropers can have some fun and play games. Almost all of the games do not require sign-ups; most of them tropers can jump in.

You are allowed to make any kind of game in this here subforum. You can make the strangest game ever, the fastest game ever, even the most esoteric game ever, as long as it's fun for you. Just don't make it overly sexual, a pathway for cuberbullying, or overall illegal.

There are a couple of important things to check out:

1. Just because we tend to more relaxed, as a subforum called Forum Games should suggest, doesn't mean we don't require some rules; civility is a must anywhere on this site. In addition to the general forum rules, please read over the The Super Serious Forum Game Rules Thread. We don't want anyone to ruin the fun solely because they were a dick! (Don't be a dick!) So, please, please, please, PLEASE read over both. PLEASE! We would rather not see a fight because one person derailed "Guess about the next poster" into a cybersexing thread.
2. The Forum Game Recommendations Thread is the best place to ask regular goers of this subforum to help you find some games that they believe might tickle your fancy. Even if you have crazy specifications (that aren't too creepy for TV Tropes), maybe that type of game already exists! Just make sure your requests aren't vague or illegal!

Well, that's all I have to say. Just have fun, and don't be a dick! PM me for any questions."

Here's one for Live Action Film:

"Hey there [[troper]]!

Welcome here to the Live Action Film subforum! This is for movies filmed with real people; animated films are considered Western Animation. Any genre of live action movie can go into this thread. If you like silent movies, action flicks, or romantic comedies, this is the place to talk about them. Everything from Alfred Hitchcock to Tim Burton can go here.

Please read the rules if you haven't done. This is a thread in the TV Tropes forum; it's not exempt from these rules. Please, please, please, PLEASE read over them. PLEASE! We would rather not see a fight because one person derailed a thread about Fargo.

This thread's a good place for pitching a film idea. If you have some sort of odd movie to come up with, you can let your creative juices flow here. Whether it's X Meets Y or just an overly silly premise, here's where you put your ideas.

The threads are for general discussion, not too specific. You can talk about whatever you like in the purview of the thread, but don't go into illegal territory, or derail the thread, but sometimes there are big franchises that may need more than one thread. Don't make a thread for a film that wouldn't be okay with the 5P. If a page for a film would be locked, it shouldn't be here. Otherwise, anything live action film goes.

PM me for any miscellaneous questions regarding the live action film subforum.

That's all I have to say, really. Have fun discussing your favorite movies! Popcorn is optional."

If you're applying for the World Building herald position, you need to provide a draft of your PM for that subforum.

Oh. Well how are my other drafts? Look okay?

Hello?

I think Lu's busy at the moment. She's the one that makes the decisions. You might be waiting a bit for her to make the call.

I think your drafts look okay, though. Then again, I'm not one of the higher-ups (Coughity cough cough MODS), so I don't think my opinion counts.

Thank you.

Alright, lu. Here's a minor redux.

"Hey there [[troper]]!

If you like silent movies, action flicks, or romantic comedies, this is the place to talk about them. Everything from Alfred Hitchcock to Tim Burton, or Airplane! to Star Wars can go here.

This section is for casual discussion of Live Action Film. That can mean individual series, franchises, or general discussion of the medium (as in the movies filmed with real people; not animated).

Please read the rules if you haven't done. This is a thread in the TV Tropes forum; it's not exempt from these rules. Please, please, please, PLEASE read over them. PLEASE!

This thread's a good place for pitching a film idea. If you have some sort of odd movie to come up with, you can let your creative juices flow here. Whether it's X Meets Y or just an overly silly premise, here's where you put your ideas. Make sure the Five P would allow it, first, though.

So, there doesn't seem to be an active herald in the Worldbuilding forum.

Also, the last list of outstanding applications. FWIW, if double-duty is allowed I am still up for Trope Talk.

A suggestion for the Forum Games message: Please add a paragraph that the forum is not for roleplaying and it can be found on another part of the forum, and they have their own rules.

Hello there~!

I think I'd be the herald that TV Tropes needs, but not the one TV Tropes deserves.

I kid. But I'm a stickler for the rules, and I am very friendly and warm. I've already started welcoming newbies and have helped them out by sending PMs and instructing them on how to use markup and the rules.

Which subforum would you like? Most of the right and middle are occupied, I think.

List of untaken fora, for the record.

I'd like to apply for Forum Games.

To those wanting to apply: write up what you would have your PM be, if you were to be chosen for the position. That's the primary application procedure.

For the record, I think there are at least two applications for Forum Games already. It's just been months since applications have been reviewed.

Still here and willing, in case you are wondering.

Well, I'll be able to post my PM in ~3 hours.
