Online Forum: Mess and Noise
(Group: hazblr.tumblr.com / jennyorr.tumblr.com / leanne-.tumblr.com)

Language… jargon/specialised jargon

- “Craig David” - http://www.messandnoise.com/discussions/1309081
- DAFSFFS (Do a f#*k’n search for f*#ks sake!)

User: outerspacextrapnel “I’ve DAFSFFed, but I have not been able to work out what the f#*k it means? What’s the in joke? WHY AM I EXCLUDED? WHY DO I FEEL LIKE I’M AT SCHOOL AGAIN???!!!”

User: annehelena “When you leave a thread.’Cause he’s ”walkin’ awaaaaay…” Craig David”

- *name* Injured: Someone (a celeb usually) has died. Started via a thread about Steve Irwin’s ‘injury’ as publicized in the media, then re-confirmed death.
http://www.messandnoise.com/discussions/1319609
http://www.messandnoise.com/discussions/210282

- “Sook”: someone who complains too much about something
http://www.messandnoise.com/discussions/2161106

Multi-modal?

- interaction of text and image, eg. “Caught Staring @ Boobs” http://www.messandnoise.com/discussions/847874

Authority/order/social behaviour is constructed in conversation:

- Who is allowed to speak?

Everyone’s allowed to speak, but there is a certain etiquette… both unofficial, and official, eg. User agreement: http://www.messandnoise.com/about/useragreement

- Turn-taking (frequency & length)

Some users are frowned upon/excluded for posting too frequently, or excessive off topic/personal content.
http://www.messandnoise.com/discussions/3352970
User: bolta “he contributes nothing of value to this site. sign here if you wish to ban angelic layer (plus his aliases) from mess and noise magazine discussions.”

- Treatment of “noobs”

Need to contribute/be involved in conversation… starting new ‘threads’ when you’re a ‘Noob’ to promote your own interests/gigs is criticized
http://www.messandnoise.com/discussions/3502884
”Flic007 has been a member since February 5, 2009. Starting 2 Topics, replying 1 times and has 0 Friends on Mess+Noise”

- Norms and enforcement of norms

Threads are rarely delted (unless flooding occurs), but users are regularly banned.

- “Power Users”

There’s no hierarchy, but there is a number of users who have been part of the site from the beginning, and some who would be considered ‘influential’ or ‘popular’
Eg. User: Wipey … http://www.messandnoise.com/discussions/1231348

- Definition of purpose

http://www.messandnoise.com/about/

- Moderation

Danny Bos – creator/moderator/services site
Common phrase: “Danny, fix this sh*t!”
User agreement: http://www.messandnoise.com/about/useragreement

- Silenced?

Re: the user agereement: “We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to suspend or restrict access of any user of messandnoise.com if we believe that these Terms of Service are not being followed.”

- Decisions about what’s “on topic”

User Agreement: “By using any area of messandnoise.com, you agree that you will not do any of the following: Post or broadcast repetitive and/or redundant material to any discussion forums.”

- Who/what is a “troll”? (intentionally disruptive user)

User: BADALEX: http://www.messandnoise.com/people/235078

- How/when/where is help offered, accepted, or asked for?

Regular users will help each other out all of the time
Eg. “M&N Arts Job Hub” - http://www.messandnoise.com/discussions/3266153

- What amount of ‘in real life’ is used/included in conversations?

Users often meet up outside of the forum, visit interstate.
Eg. M&N Scrabble Interstate Final: http://www.messandnoise.com/discussions/3731860

- How far do people let ‘strangers’ into their private lives?

Some users talk a lot about their private lives… more so if there’s a problem others can help with. Excessive ‘sooking’ is looked down upon.

One word: AWESOME!!!:

“We are a group of MIT students seeking to share the artistic aspects of science with others. On Sept. 2, 2009, we launched a digital camera into near-space to take photographs of the earth from high up above.

The results were fantastic. Our ultra low-budget balloon went 17.5 miles high into the uppermost parts of the stratosphere and returned 5 hours later. We tracked the device with GPS and found it some 20 miles away from the launch site.”
