Editing FAQ and glossary

Terminology and common questions for [[2swagg]], based on the site's own FAQ. General imageboard terms are included for readers new to the format. For the full original FAQ, see [https://2swagg.net/faq 2swagg.net/faq].

== Accounts ==
2swagg has '''no account system for ordinary users'''. The FAQ states this plainly. The only exceptions are paid [[2swagg Pass]] holders and staff ("janny") accounts. Everyone else posts anonymously.

== Tripcodes ==
A '''tripcode''' lets an anonymous poster prove two posts came from the same person, without an account. You enter <code>Name#password</code> in the name field and the site shows a hash after your name. One <code>#</code> is a standard trip (works the same across imageboards); two <code>##</code> is a '''secure trip''' unique to 2swagg. Full detail on the '''[[Tripcodes]]''' page.

Using a name or trip at all is optional, and per [[Site culture]] it is often mocked ("namefag", "tripfag").

== Post and thread terms ==
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Term !! Meaning
|-
| '''OP''' || "Original poster" or "opening post": the post that starts a thread and sets its topic, or the person who made it.
|-
| '''bump''' || Replying to a thread moves it back to the top of the board index. A reply "bumps" the thread.
|-
| '''sage''' || From the Japanese verb ''sageru'' (下げる), "to lower". Typing "sage" in the email/options field makes a reply that does not bump the thread. Used when a reply does not add to the topic.
|-
| '''noko / nonoko''' || Options-field keywords controlling whether you are redirected to your own post after posting. Redirect happens by default; "nonoko" disables it.
|-
| '''sticky''' || A thread pinned to the top of a board by staff.
|-
| '''GET''' || A post whose number is considered notable, usually for a long run of repeated digits. The FAQ says such a post "should be checked."
|-
| '''checkem''' || Type it in the options field to mark a GET. There is a whole tier system (DUBS, TRIPS, QUADS, ULTRA GET). See '''[[Checkem]]'''.
|}

== Text formatting ==
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Syntax !! Effect
|-
| <code>&gt;text</code> || '''greentext''': a quoting and emphasis convention from imageboard culture generally.
|-
| <code>&lt;text</code> || '''pinktext''': the site's own variant.
|-
| <code>^text</code> || '''bluetext''': per the FAQ, purely decorative, with no functional meaning.
|-
| <code>:2swagg:</code> || an [[Emotes|emote]] shortcode. Named emotes use this <code>:name:</code> form; there are 38.
|}

Other input tricks: [[Kaotype]] (type <code>;smug</code> etc. for a kaomoji), [[Fortunes]] (put <code>fortune</code> in the email field), and [[Checkem]].

== Culture terms ==
"newfag" (new user), "namefag" (posts under a name), "tripfag" (posts with a tripcode), "anon" (anonymous poster): standard imageboard vocabulary, used the same way on 2swagg. See [[Site culture]].
