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 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 they are the same person across posts, without an account. It is entered in the name field as Name#Tripcode.
- A single
#produces a standard tripcode using an algorithm shared across imageboard software generally. - A double
##produces a secure tripcode specific to 2swagg: the same password gives a different code here than on another site.
Using a name or tripcode at all is optional, and per Site culture it is often mocked ("namefag", "tripfag").
Post and thread terms
| 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 | Related to GETs. The FAQ answers this one with an in-joke rather than an explanation: "Only newfags dont know how to checkem :)" |
Text formatting
| 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.
|
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.
