Post a Forumular Tip.

[manker]

Posters in this thread should be aware that their contributions will be viewed seriously as a means to help others be competent at using interweb forums.

===

Don't post a :lol: smiley after comments within your own post. Let someone else tell you it's funny. If no-one does, it's either not funny or you're not well liked.


Caveat
You can if you do it in an ironic manner, but are you really comfortable with using irony? Well? Most people suck badly at it, particularly Americans, but if you want to try, be my guest.

Just don't come crying to me when it goes horribly wrong.

[Barbarossa]

In a similar way, the word "lol" is not a punctuation mark. "lol" should not be used in the middle or at the end of sentences while your brain pauses for breath.

e.g. Some people seem to do this all the time lol and it can get kind of irritating lol

[manker]

If a member displays a weakness, don't necessarily comment upon it at the time - bide your time and use it against them when they're being a twat :smilie4:

[Ava Estelle]

If you're not quite sure someone is being a twat, don't accuse them straight away, if you do, and you're wrong, you'll be the twat. Act innocent, lure them into showing their hand, then call them a twat.

always wear clean pants.

[Alien5]

Don't tell people that they can or Cant post a smiley. Let them decide what silly yellow smiley face they would like to use.

lol...:lol: using the word "lol" is 7337 like this: LOL LOL LOL. :lol: :lol: :happy:

Using the name "Barbarossa" means "cunt", also every time you say "Barbarossa is a cunt" 50 times you get a Trading Rep: +point under your avatar :happy:

seing a post by manker means you need to logout to earn a trading rep point.

[manker]

No-one of any consequence gives a shit about trading rep points.

[Alien5]

lol :tease: please only TYPE IN UPPER-CASE LETTERS when replying to the person who has a higher post count than you.

[GepperRankins]

you don't have a 160 character limit. you have more than 12 keys. at least try to use words please

If someone's posts are generally idiotic, chances are they are an idiot.

[clocker]

The degree symbol ("°") is created with alt+0176.

This shortcut is rarely useful.

[Alien5]

a troll is a person who aims to have 'pleasure' at your expense. :happy:

[Alien5]

Do not double post.

[Alien5]

...or tripple post :angry:

[Jagarga]

alien5 is a cawk.

[Alien5]

lol :D

[kittybewm]

Noobs should not post links without checking,via the ever reliable search function wether said link has previously been posted.

[kittybewm]

Tip for newbs: Do whatever the hell you want and act like you've been there the whole time! :01:

[100%]

Tips for Newbs II : moving avatars and sigs will be automatically adblocked, unless they contain hotchicks kissing.

[Barbarossa]

Don't post pictures of yourself unless you are happy for them to be used and abused in ways that you least expect. :sage:

If you don't know the answer to someone's question then just take a wild stab at it.

If someone doesn't answer your question in five minutes feel free to bump the topic. Repeat as necessary.

Trading invites is the most serious of things you will ever do with your life, if someone cheats you then you have the legal right to kill their family.

Pretend to own stuff that you don't, most forum user's lives are so drab that they'll appreciate it that they can live vicariously through you.

Never admit you're wrong.

If in a proper discussion cut, paste and answer only the very weakest part of your "opponent's" arguments.

Reading long posts hurts your eyes, so don't bother. Instead ask for a summary or, better yet, make up in your own mind what the poster said and answer that.

Post in every thread in the Lounge so as to "pwn" it, this will do for your posting skills what painting garden fences did for Ralph Macchio's karate skills.

If a film/book/game/song holds no interest for you then by all means tell everyone about it.

Have an agenda? Then by all means refer to it in every single post you make.

Make more threads. Really, if you are just about to go to McDonalds then we want to know. If you just ate some out of date chicken we need to know, if you just picked a piece of fluff off your jumper then we insist on being told.

If you leave the forum then make a thread (that you continue posting in) about it. Return in two weeks.

If someone asks a simple question then it is far better to insult them, tell them the question has already been answered elsewhere or to ask your own unrelated question than it is just to say, "Yes, putting marmite in your DVD drive will break it."

If there is a thread discussing the meaning of life then there is nothing funnier than someone posting '42'. Go on, be that person.

Forum users are very savvy in the ways of women, feel free to post all your girlfriend problems here for us to answer. Pics as well.

The spamming from Newbs is like the twittering of Budgies. Harmless and inconsequential. :whistling

[MCHeshPants420]

Posting while drunk is the way of the future. Usually if you're in the pub after 8 Stellas there is no-one around to record your nuggets of wisdom, now you can have a permanent record of every sage-like thing you say while under the influence.

Smoking dope is the coolest thing ever. If you partake of the weed then by all means mention it in every post.

If someone is having computer troubles with some software or the forum then they will be thoroughly interested to know that some stranger with a completely different PC set-up is not having the same problem. Let them know.

The forum was down for three minutes? Make a thread about it.

Can't spell? Can't punctuate? Can't read? Can't write? Just flail wildly at the keyboard with your ape-like hands, we'll get the message.

Nothing says individuality like having a Matrix themed username, avatar and signature.

The ultimate route to popularity is by becoming a Moderator.

The forum isn't as good as it used to be, in 1987 the rivers ran with chocolate and children danced through the streets with gummy drops for rain. Cheer up the veterans by mentioning "ketchup" or the time Funchy Craphorn posted his naked buttocks.

Do you have a forum that you made five minutes ago that has all of three members (one of which is your sister)? Then by all means post about it here.

Berate people for using Google to back up their arguments.

Demand people back up their arguments with links.

You actually left the forum for good? Then come back every six months and tell us how crap we all are.

Soccer? What the fuck? Are you living on the other side of the world or something? Always correct anyone who makes this mistake, preferably also make reference to the fact that American Football is just rugby for poofs in padding.

New? Start a fight with the person with the highest post count you can find. This is akin to beating up the hardest person in prison on your first day there.
