Due to the exesiveness of stupid posts.. and because, well I'm bored. =/ This guide will help people who are new to forums, and not make stupid mistakes.
Let's begin now shall we? First, I shall adress topic posting. Before you post a topic always ask yourself the following questions:
-Does your new topic contribute to the forums?
-Has someone else already posted a topic somewhat related to yours?
-Is your topic friendly?
For the first question, make sure that when you post you have something meaningful to say, and not something that would be considered spam.
Eg. "omg no your wrong fagit" - Is an example of what you should not do.
Secondly, make sure your topic is original. Always use the search button first to see if there are topics relating to what you want to post.
However, if the topic is outdated (Over a week old) then go ahead and make a new topic..
Lastly, make sure your posts, and topics are FRIENDLY. You do not what to start on the wrong foot with someone, especially someone with authority. Also make sure that if you tend to 'argue' with people that you do it in a mature manner. Stay calm at all times, do not exesively insult with words like "OMG IDIOT!" and give reasoning to your opinions. If you do not provide support, reasoning and evidence to what you post, your opinion is as good as squat.
If you follow this guide you are sure to not be laughed at, flamed or banned.
Oh and the most important thing of all: Have fun.
