Title: Breen Patterson
Post by: TransChiefPatterson on February 28, 2008, 11:04:03 PM: Hello All,

My name is Breen Patterson. I'm from West Virginia, USA. I like acting, so rping is something that interests me. I'm usually easy to get along with. I like Star Trek :) but who doesn't. I like old movies, I'm a big Bing Crosby fan, if you don't know who that is he was a Crooner (a singer) of the late 1930s and 1940s. (he acted too). Well I hope that gives you something to work with

Bye for now

Post by: Jonathan Kent on March 01, 2008, 12:09:47 AM: and yet......
Something psychological about where it is makes one skip it. I cant lay finger to it though....

Post by: gilgermesch on March 01, 2008, 05:35:56 AM: greetings! and welcome!

telex, that's exactly why one does not see it... it looks different than the rest, ergo you think it does not belong to the rules. thus you dont read it. put it in red, and focus will fall on it first
Title: Re: Breen Patterson
Post by: Gweth on March 01, 2008, 06:38:42 AM: As I mentioned in another topic Tleex, the way you formatted that end part makes it easy to miss or disregard.

Simple reasons...

A- Common knwoledge that msot lists of rules are set in order displayed by a lsit of numbers. Having anything written after a set of numbers is usually disregarded as unimportant, as most consider themselves being generous reading the necessary rules to begin with. And usually thats true.

B- Being at the very end of the post, and surrounded by lines so close to your signature pictures makes it appear very much like a part of your signature. hereby extremely disregardable. (hell unless they -really- stand out to me, even I ignore anything near anyones signatures, including the signatures themselves)

The result is simple, due to its formatting and position, and being set under a set of number not being numebred itself, its classified as either possibly a part of your signature or a disregardable snippet.

Post by: Telex Ferra on March 01, 2008, 09:47:16 AM: and now it's huge, go check, you can't miss it.
