SL Forums Purity Test?

What should be on the SL Forums Purity Test?

Don't know what a Purity Test is? Well, here's the original Usenet Purity Test, while you're thinking of questions for the forums (have you ever posted a necrolol?) let's see how how you did on Usenet.

SCORING:

Score one point for every "yes" answer. After you've answered the questions, subtract your total from 25 and multiply by four. The resulting number is your purity percentage.

Yes, 25, nobody's 100% pure.

That doesn't seem right...you lose points just by USING the medium?

I say we judge purity against an actual standard. I propose Marianne.

Sure, it's like sex. If you know about sex you're less than 100% pure.

I'm so pure I'm not going to read the list of questions.

Usenet?

Pep (Is this the online equivalent of being tested on how well you could drive a Model T Ford?)

Oh, the original, unisex, omnisexual Purity Test has grown a bit since the Usenet days.

Um, help for the ignorant here?

What's Usenet? And what's RFD?

Argent is wrong, you get 100%.

Ummmmm . . .

YAY!!!!

(Is that good?)

Have you ever:

1. Posted in the Forums.
2. Started a thread.
3. Necro'ed a thread (-1 points)
4. ... deliberately (+2 points)
5. Posted a lolcat picture?
6. ... to a necro thread?
7. Answered a scripting tips question?
8. ... correctly?
9. Made pep laugh?

...

Here's kind of a badly modified version that sorta fits here. Plus my answers.

2) had a posting in a moderated subforum Y
3) Crossposted Y (oops sowwy)
4) posted a control message N
5) Have you ever recieved an answer to a posting by mail Y
6) had someone reply with a posting Y
7) started a thread Y
had your signature start a thread N
9) been flamed by mail for a posting Y!
10) been flamed Y (lots!)
11) been flamed for your signature N
12) started a flame war Y (unintentionally!)
13) started a flame war that moved to another place Y (oops)
14) had someone announce in a posting that you were in their ignore file N (any time tho!)
15) Have you ever posted a discussion for a new subforum Y
16) posted a discussion for a hierarchy (kinda redundant here, use (15's) answer Y
17) created a subforum due to a vote N
1 created a hierarchy due to a vote (kinda redundant here, use (17's) answer N
19) created a subforum without a discussion N
20) created a hierarchy without a discussion (kinda redundant here, use (19's) answer N
21) Have you ever forged a posting. N
22) forged a reply to your own posting to start a thread N
23) forged a flame of your own posting N
24) posted anything deliberately to increase your score in the Purity test N

25 - 12 = 13. 13 x 4 is 52. yey?

Subforums here aren't possible any more, so... hmm. This test might only work for oldbies.

at worse mine was 82% purity, I also wasn't sure about some of the terminology.

Edit: re Desmond's List I would be 82%

Fixed it for ya!

Pep (laughs at the strangest things . . . so he has lots to laugh at in the forums. )

I think we need to define the test before putting our score in the poll? Just sayin'.

Does pure evil count?

Ever answer that would reduce your purity gives you points which in turn gives a higher purity percentage. I think something is backwards.

Scylla.
USENET is a collection of newsgroups. And thing from local news, quilting, paintball, antiques to erotica. If you ever see something like alt.sex.baseballbats they are referencing USENET groups. And yes, that is a real usenet group.

Something long haired kitchen staff in restaurants have to do.

Yes, once we have a complete set of questions (at least 25, and they don't have to be the same) I'll post another poll. If you don't know what Usenet is, your score is either 100% or PI.

At the end you subtract from the total number of points and scale to 100%.

No, that's wrong! If you answer no to everything, your score is zero!

Oh, damn, I missed the "subtract" thing - my answer doesn't count.

.

I've included my thoughts as well as my deeds in my score.

I fixed it for ya!

I like Smif's. With my answers:I get 36%. But I can see how I could whittle 20 points off without doing anything I wouldn't want to do! (Or anyONE, as the case may be.) More, if the occasions arise.
