Aside from not recognizing their name or seeing their post count.

    Does anyone happen to have the flow chart saved? I found the thread where Fishy originally posted it, but the flow chart itself doesn't come up for some reason.

    They sign their posts.

    They call the board a "blog".

    They say something akin to "my/our special day"

    They dont come back to the post, or if they do its days after it has died. They delete the content if they dont get the answer they want.

    And I couldn't read it.

    They ask if they can uninvite someone. When you read their post, it turns out this person hasn't even been invited.

    They get a few likers and then they turn all BSC.  It's in the flow chart.  Stand by for Alix.
