Welcome. I hope this will prove helpful.
1. This is a review site. Punters who contribute reviews are welcome. Those who do not generally get a rough ride. Read and contribute. Do this before asking for help. Once you have contributed reviews, if you have a question and start a thread, give evidence in your opener that you have tried to answer it for yourself by reading and using the research function. Make this the last thread you start until you have contributed say 5 good quality reviews across the range of your experience.
2. AS UKP has increased in size, popularity and influence it attracts more and more touts and fantasists. We self police to some extent. For those of us around for a while, wrong’uns are easy to spot. For this reason you will see some newbies getting a very tough time with apparently little provocation (see point 1). If you contribute useful reviews, share information, recommendations and warnings, give a balanced view, afford a modicum of respect to the other parishioners and generally contribute you’ll find most are helpful.
3. The culture here is of a rough city boozer. The big scary-looking guy behind the bar is Admin. Your presence here is on the clear understanding; what he says goes. Do not fuck with him at all.
