I don't think that there's an "all AW posts must be accompanied by an 'AW' disclaimer in the title" rule. If someone was like "You forgot to put AW in the title" it was probably just their snarky(ish) way of pointing out that the post was AWy in nature. And AWy posts are only tolerated in certain circumstances*
(*well, but seemingly in all circumstances from certain posters, and in no circumstances from other certain posters -- this place can be hard to navigate)
Yeah. I saw AW posts from others with no AW disclaimer and they got positive replies. So when I got negative reaction from the board, I was at a lost why. Maybe no one could be excited for me since I was a newbie (no one knew me) and was seen as someone just joining in and posting on the board to only brag.
Well… yeah…
If a board regular or friend/family member tells me about their huge bonus I'm going to say "Yay! Good for you!"
But if some random walks up to me on the street bragging about their huge bonus I'm more like "Yay? Good for you, weirdo."
I'd like to hear Mimi's definition of a flaming. It sounds to me like a Reply.
Since I was called a brag and a show-off, I've considered that thread as a flaming thread. I felt I was attacked/belittled. I was so excited about a decent bonus so I used some caps. Then ended up getting replies that the bonus is peanut since some big dogs get 6-figures.
v is totally spot on that this money board only talks about money in very limited capacities. Some big dogs get 7+-figure bonuses but no one's ever going to talk about things like that here, even under an alias, I'd imagine.
I don't even remember your initial post but that's because, as previously established, I have no GBCN memory whatsoever.
@buckybells I am so curious to which Iowa school he goes to! I'm in Iowa.
He isnt a Cyclone or a Panther so that pretty much leaves just one option since the majority of the other universities in the state with a PhD program are private schools.

Oh, yeah I missed replying to this one! That's correct
So, Mimi, does the screen name castareniice ring a bell?
I've heard her name mentioned a few times, but I have no clue what her story is. I don't think I've seen Princess_Lily's name mentioned here as much. Don't know her story either. If their stories were in loooooong threads, I probably didn't bother to open them. I typically didn't open long threads at TN, unless it was very juicy. LOL.
