Not a news to cheerleading just never had an account here.

"Not a news"? So does that mean you are B news?

Edited to add: what TG team are you on?

Hi, my beautiful 17 year old son is enjoying his first year in all star cheer. He started studying karate at age 5, achieved his black belt a few years ago, and was ready for a new challenge. The girls in his school recruited him into cheer; he cheered with them for one year, and now is doing all star. It's a whole new world, all right.

I've got a few questions, but I'll roam around and see where is the most appropriate place for them.

So many amazing men in cheer have the same kind of story for joining all-star as your son. Good luck! Can't wait to get to know you on the boards. Be sure to join the parent section!

Got it, look forward to learning from you all.

E="Weezy, post: 233710, member: 95"]First off, we are thrilled you have chosen to be part of the largest cheerleading board in the world!

This board is great! You can learn alot about cheer (high school, allstar, college, etc), what is going on behind the scenes, find a choreographer, make friends, etc.

We are however VERY protective of our board. On more than one occasion (alot actually), we have had people (either new or old) come on here with the sole purpose of creating drama. We eventually find out who you are and the result is usually a permanent ban on the board.

Please keep in mind this board has a WIDE age range. Keep your posts appropriate and consider the person you may be responding too is a minor. We do have an over 18 section, however that DOES NOT give you carte blanche to be rude and insulting.

And as for rude and insulting, do not make your posts personal. Remember these are young athletes on these teams. Treat others how you yourself would like to be treated, as well as your mother, sister, brother, etc.

Before you can post anywhere in the Cheerleading specific forums you must make 3 posts in here and have been registered for 72 hours (counting from the moment you registered). There will probably be someone willing to come along and answer any question you have, so take advantage of this 3 question requirement here in newbies. Other forums are not as forgiving to newbie questions, so try and ask in here while observing the other forums.

Here are the Top Ten rules for Newbies on Fierce Board:
(Written by our very own, Sharkdad)

1. If you're new, ask newbie questions in the newbie forum first.
You will get friendlier answers in here than the main board.

2. Before you ask a question or post your opinion, see if someone else already has.
Make sure to read the entire thread and use the search bar at the top of the boards. If in doubt, PM someone and they should be happy to help.

3. Ask the right questions in the right sections
Try and keep the music questions in the music section, the allstar questions in the allstar section... etc...

4. Keep posts on topic with the subject.
Don’t go into a post about a competition and ask “how do I improve my BHS?” If it succeeds in derailing the conversation going on it’s called “hijacking” a thread.

5. Have a purpose for your post!
All posts (negative and positive) are welcome, but only if they have a reason behind them. Saying a program/team/routine sucks JUST because is not a reason, and your opinion will instantly be discredited around here

6. Don't make statements about how other people/teams/gyms are thinking or feeling. Think: the only person's opinion I should express is my own.

7. Stick to facts. Try looking it up yourself or at least ask respectfully.
You will learn a lot this way. You should never post anything like “Team X at Gym Y is going to wear polka dot socks next week” if you only read it on Facebook or through someone else’s conversation. It is entirely different to say “I think I heard that. . . .” or finish your statement with “in my opinion, but I don’t know for sure”
 
8. Keep personal accusations, questions, other stuff not relevant to more than one person private.
That's what Private Messages (PMs) are for.

9. Apologize when you get something wrong.
We’re all giving opinions here. Have respect for others and admit if you are wrong.

10. Above all, when in doubt, have respect for others and their opinions.
This will help you decide how to word your posts, and probably how to “agree to disagree” if need be.


Again, WELCOME...to the FIERCEST board ever!

Happy posting![/QUOTE]

Why do all the newbies look forward to learning from us until they hit the boards and realize they don't want our advice?

It's not that we don't want it. It just comes off as rude most times. Especially when you know you're being picked on.

They're also a lot of people on this board who think they know it all and they don't. I do realize that they're a lot of business people here. But running a salon vs a cheer gym are two total different things and one shouldn't down a person from wanting to start a business. Just making a general statement

For an example: because I'm putting this my negative ratings are going to go up even more. You guys often times come off as perfect and no is perfect.

Or it is perceived as rude when it isn't and only good intentions are meant.

Nope just rude. And you guys know it. That's why on some threads especially mines even when I have good intentions people will decide to post memes and being childish instead of just ignoring or answering the question.

Yu guys did it to another user too here recently

I've only seen them pick on people who lie about things? Why lie.: this is a message board. No one knows you from a hill of beans you don't need to lie to impress anyone. If you are embarrassed of who you are just stay anonymous don't lie.

Also people who give advice .. Kind of like your reference from a salon to starting a business.

It's the same as giving people feedback or critiques on things you know nothing about but pretending you do.

go to the forum tab. Scroll down until you get to "parents online" I believe that's how get to the parent forum. I don't know if you got permission yet so I don't know if when you click it takes you directly to the forum. Hope it helps.
