It does, but I'm not convinced that it necessarily does a better job than just reading the rest of the forum for a while.  Jeph's forum rules don't cover the nitty-gritty details, its more of a "don't be a toolbag" and the "forum hints" thread quickly devolves into two jackasses calling each other stupid.

As I said earlier, I'm a longtime lurker, so I've gotten a feel for the vibe here and really dont think that ThePQ4's attitude was appropriate. 
Simply saying "this belongs in the general discussion forum, and quoting the post above you is redundant.  maybe check out the forum rules in the hi, I'm new forum." would have sufficed. His post wasnt quite an "OMG STFU n00b!!!1!" or anything, but considering the generally polite discourse here, it wasn't exactly a matter of fact, "excuse me sir, please check yourself before you start pissing people off," either

I've seen this a number of times now, where forum veterans get all pissy about a newbie misusing the forum on their first day, and being pretty self-righteous about it (see the forum tips thread by Fatty in the Hi, I'm new forum) and i just don't get it. Like somehow having a couple thousand posts gives you asshole rights or something.

That would be somewhat disconcerting, sorry.

DonInKansas:
Take the snarkiness with a grain of salt.  It's the way the long-timers roll, from what I've seen.

Actually you'll need a lot of salt; they taste kinda bland.

MC:
here's whats gonna happen: Hannilore is gonna freak out and tell Dora, who will hunt his brother down like an angry mother bear who lost it's cub. Than Dora is gonna let it slip to Marten and Marten won't sulk, but he will be PISSED. He will say something like this "I took you in, devoted so much of myself to you, took beating after beating from you as a 'thank you' and I was told that your to emotionally fucked up to handle a relationship! Yet you bang a sleezeball at the drop of a hat, what the hell is wrong with you". After this dialog Dora will get alot of doubts about Marten's motives for dating her because why should he care so much if Faye slept with another guy? [as for the rest? I'm working on it]

GenericName:
Yeah, in a completely new QC-iverse where every character's personalities run completely inverse to their real ones.

Barmymoo:
Actually that sounds perfectly feasible to me, I've never met anyone who's capable of keeping something like this a complete secret from everyone forever. Although maybe Hanners won't be the one to let it slip, my money is on Faye.
