Q: Frosty, Heidi and Frank? Who are they?
A:Frosty Stillwell, Heidi Hamilton and Frank Kramer are Los Angeles djs. They broadcast on KLSX 97.1 FM from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday after Adam Carolla
Q: I'm not a member, where can I post?
A: Non-members are no longer allowed to post.
Q: But why should I have to sign up just to post?
A: Signing up for accounts helps us keep track of people better. It helps us use PMs, and deal with rule violations. Signing up is free and it only takes a few seconds. If that is too much for you, this probably isn't the right place for you.
Q:I registered for an account, but I haven't gotten my password yet? What's up with that?
A: Make sure that when you register, you are using a VALID email address that isn't already being used. Your password will be sent there.
Q:I'm using a valid email address. Why haven't I gotten my password yet?
A: Check your junk/bulk mail folder
Q:I checked my junk/bulk mail folder. NO password. Now what?
A: Then (and only then) go ahead and email D-Girl so she can issue you a temporary one.
Q:What's this about needing my birthday in my profile?
A: Proboards does not allow users under the age of 13. This is a security measure.
Q: There are alot of posts on the thread I want to post on. I don't have time to read then all, can I just post whatever I want, anyway?
A: Sigh. No. Why? What happens is you get several people saying the exact same thing over and over and over. You might end up answering a question that's already been answered, and the conversation may have headed in a new direction. Not only is it a waste of time, but it's annoying. You want people to read your post? Then take the time to read everyone else's/
Q: Someone insulted a show I liked, or didn't have the exact same opinion as me. This means it's an attack on me as a person right? So they obviously need to be banned from here, right?
A: No. Not everyone is going to agree with you and vice-versa. Deal with it.
Q: But, they said Frosty was stupid an ugly! THis place is only for people who love the triplets, right?
A: While it doesn't make sense to me why a non-FHF fan would come here, this place is for all discussion of Frosty Heidi and Frank. That includes everyone's opinion.
Q: Someone was being a total jerk in a thread. I told them to knock it off or they would be banned. Why did I get in trouble? The other guy was breaking the rules, I was helping!
A: Well, I don't know if you've noticed this, but I have a wonderful moderating staff on the board. It is their job to go through posts and deal with problem posters. There is no need for anyone to "mini-mod" and it's not appreciated. If oyu really want to help you can report a problem to a Mod and they will deal with it. And I can assure you the other guy got in trouble, also.

Q: Someone other than me edited my post. Why?
A: Usually if a moderator or an administrator edits your posts, he or she will say why (for instance, if you've posted in the wrong place or smarted off to another poster).
Q:Can I post a bunch of messages in a row if I keep thinking of things to add?
A: No. There is a modify button on all of your posts. Please use it.
Q: What is a troll? How would I report one?
A: A troll may:
* Post offensive messages only to get you angry
* Post the same thing over and over again to take up space and ruin the flow of the forums
* Post only to intrude on your goodwill and advertise some crap-ass site or try to sell you bootleg copies of something.
* Start hurling insults left and right in hopes of starting a flame war.
Let us know if we have a troll by dropping one of the Mods a PM. (Please include the poster name, and the thread.)
Q:I'd like to be a global moderator. How do I go about getting that position?
A: First and foremost, you have to know D-Girl in real life, so if that isn't you. please don't inquire further.
Q:So what, your friends get special treatment?
A: My global moderators have almost as many powers as I do, therefore, they can delete everyone, bann everyone, delete the board, or destroy it in any number of ways. I'm not putting that power in the hands of someone I don't know. Deal with it.
Q: O.K., how about a regular moderator?
A: At th e moment, we are not in need of any moderators, but should the time come when we are, an announcement will be made.
Q:I see something called Listener Rating. What's that?
A: Well, it's a way for other members to either give you props, or take them away. They can either chose to Tune In(praise you) or Tune Out(smite you). But you can only tune in/tune out once an hour so use it carefully!
Q:Why would they do that?
A: Who knows? Maybe you said something they agreed/disagrred with. Or maybe they just hate/like you.
Q:So what happens?
A: There's no reward if your listener rating is high, there's no punishment if it's low. It's supposed to be FUN.
Q:I see something called a warn level. What's that?
A: When you break a rule, your level goes up. It also changes color from happy green to angry red. Just a heads up, if you get into the red zone, chances are you're thisclose to being banned. So straighten up!
Q:So, can my warn level go down?
A: Sure it could. It may take awhile, though.
Q:Why does it say "warning" or "probation" under my username?
A: Well, that's because you've been given a warning or put on probation by an admin or mod for repeatedly breaking a rule. Or breaking several rules.
Q:Wait, so everyone can see that I broke a rule? That's embarrassing!
A:Well, don't break the rules. They aren't that hard to follow.
Q:I got banned?!
A: Yes. While we try to be kind, understanding people, we have limits. So make sure you read the Rules and adhere to them.
Q: Why was my account deleted?
A: Accounts that have zero posts after six months are deleted.
Q: But I did make posts . . . a while ago.
A: Accounts that have no activity in one year are also deleted. If a post every few months is too much, then this probably isn't the place for you.
Q: So, what if I want to come back after being deleted?
A: being deleted isn't the same as being banned, so you can reregister at any time.
Q: Will I get my post count back?
A: Members with 100-299 posts can reregister within six monthsand get their post count back. Members with 300+ postscan reregister within one year and get their post count back. Otherwise, No.
