Common Forum Terms

Today's online forums are really diverse and all-encompassing. There are a variety of sports hobbies, books, and Entertainment gossip, and of course there are business forums from all walks of life. You have visited many forums, but do you know the correct English expression of the forums? Let's take a look at some of the most basic things this time!
You don't have to say much about the word forum. It refers to the entire forum.
A Forum usually contains many sections. This "edition" is called a board.
One version has many topics, and one topic contains many posts (posts ). The version can be encrypted, only Management Members, moderators, and members of this version can see the content. The version can also be set to read-only, and only the administrator can post. Users (users) can subscribe to a forum so that they can see all the new posts on this edition in the email.
Topic topic, also called thread, includes all posts under the same topic. Administrators and moderators can lock a topic, add to digest, stick, move, and delete a topic) and so on.
Post post is a Post published by the user Article (A post is a single public message by a user .). It can be a subject (start a new topic) or reply to an existing topic. After posting a post, you can edit and delete it again.
Newbie is a newbie. Remember, this is the correct spelling of the word. Other irregular spelling is often derogatory and should not be used.
Bump, bump up top. When I see a good post and proposal, I can't help but use the word "TOP! You can come to a simple "Bump !", Or complete "I'm going to bump the thread (up )." It is best not to write "Ding" in an English Forum. Foreigners don't understand Why you should ring the bell here.
Troll can be used to send malicious posts for provocation, so that normal discussions cannot be continued, or to "Dive" (that is, "Only viewing posts without replying to posts "). It can also be used as a term to refer to the people who do the above. In addition, the most common "diving" is lurk, and the "Diver" is lurker. Although troll also has this meaning, it is not commonly used.
Flame indicates that a Forum member is in progress. Comments Personal attacks are escalated after the divergence. This behavior is very bad and should be avoided as much as possible.
My two cents is equivalent to my opinion/take on this issue and can often avoid disputes. For example, after expressing your views on a problem, you can say: Just my 2 cents. The subline is: may or may not be right. Others may or may not agree.

The common terms of other forums are as follows:
