I am fairly new here, when will I become a regular? And when will I know all the hidden lingo?

Question

I don't want to continue to be just a YAHOO !!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

ok.. first of all, like denie said.. find a section that you know a lot about.. that you are very knowledgeable about.. ask and answer many questions there. if your answers are good you will start getting noticed here and ppl will look out for your questions and answers... just be very committed in asking and answering here and you will get noticed and be part of the family.. but to do well you have to hang out at a section you know a lot abt.. like here in the paranormal section.. i wud say the regulars are deenie, miss muck, 333, kimberly  myself, PD and many more.. i recognise the avatars more than the names..

my advise... hang out where you are knowledgeable and answer well and you will get noticed and join the family..

Answer 2

Just keep showing up, reading, post your true opinion.  The lingo is from the general except terms for things paranormal.  Everyone has slightly different names for these things, but if you see something your not sure about just look it up on Google---http://www.google.com/

or

Wikipedia---http://www.wikipedia.org/

Answer 3

Welcome to the community. I myself is somewhat relatively new to Yahoo! Answers. But now I'm beginning to feel I belong when other people gave me votes for best answers and the Yahoo! Answers people made me a Top Contributor. Based on my own experience, I would suggest that you feel free to explore other categories and if you find a question that interests you, give a share. Most likely you will discover too that Paranormal Phenomena is just one of your interests but is not necessarily your favorite field. Me, I find Mythology & Folklore my favorite, although History is also very interesting. You don't have to know hidden lingos (whatever that stuff means). Just be yourself and share what you know. I suggest that you take a look at the Guidelines which is always accessible anytime. It would also be good if you choose a specific avatar for your identity. Something unique that would identify you easily and that will make you a familiar face in Yahoo! Answers. Best of luck to you.

Answer 4

Just visit here and read up on what is being posted. Answer if you like, ask questions if you like.

Its about enjoyment of the experience and about perhaps learning something new along the way.

No need to stay to only one catagory. I think that would become rather boring and tedious rather quickly. We are all multi-dimensional beings, why not spend time in other catagories that you have interest in; like the home and garden section you mentioned?

As for the hidden lingo, please feel free to ask the questioner to explain what they mean. Or if you prefer, feel free to email me and I will explain it if its something I know about. (if its not then I will tell you that as well - and not leave you hanging)

I hope that helps :)

Answer 5

Stick with me bud... I can show you all the tricks of the trade...

Answer 6

You need to stay in one section...one you like and know something about ..or want to know something about and ask and answer a lot of questions. Then, others will begin to  get used to seeing your name and avatar and they'll begin to see what kind of questions and answers you give. THEN  they will know you and you'll feel more a part of your Yahoo section.

Right now..I think you're in the wrong section. This is the Paranormal Section. You need to find a section you want to stay on (you can also go to other sections..but if you want others to know you..stay mostly on one section.) Open your Q&As and maybe get a 360 then a blog. If you come back to the paranormal section..you need to ask questions about the paranormal. Same goes for the Parapsychology Section. Welcome to Yahoo Answers. Hope you find your "home".

Answer 7

You will know you are a regular after these events:

You realize there is no such animal as a regular.

The trolls get three or more of your answers censored.

The trolls get one of your questions censored.

And last you post a question complaining about the trolls and self appointed "troll hunters" (who haven't got a clue) getting your stuff censored!

Answer 8

Keep posting answers.  You will eventually earn the coveted Paranormal Phenomena badge.

Definitions of all the jargon you refer to can be found via the internets.

Answer 9

~~~Welcome~~~

To our maddness......lol just joking.....

Answer 10

I said that b/c I'm a psychic, babe... I could very clearly hear the insult you insinuated in your question. You picked up my specific wording and picked at it... doesn't take a genius to figure that out. Did you expect me to not to say anything? I really don't care if anybody around these parts likes me.... or care if I don't say anything right.
