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 2swagg.net/faq.
Accounts[edit | edit source]
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[edit | edit source]
A tripcode lets an anonymous poster prove two posts came from the same person, without an account. You enter Name#password in the name field and the site shows a hash after your name. One # is a standard trip (works the same across imageboards); two ## 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[edit | edit source]
| 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[edit | edit source]
| Syntax | Effect |
|---|---|
>text |
greentext: a quoting and emphasis convention from imageboard culture generally. |
<text |
pinktext: the site's own variant. |
^text |
bluetext: per the FAQ, purely decorative, with no functional meaning. |
:2swagg: |
an emote shortcode. Named emotes use this :name: form; there are 38.
|
Other input tricks: Kaotype (type ;smug etc. for a kaomoji), Fortunes (put fortune in the email field), and Checkem.
Culture terms[edit | edit source]
"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.
