    So, all of these rules I have come across confuse me, and I hate being impolite. So, all important rules I should know should be put here for me to see. Unless, of course, these unwritten rules are for older members to flame newbies like me. Either way, lay it on me. (Not in that way sicko)

    Damn, I am on a role. I post this before reading rules. And I post a profile before reading the profile rules. Its ok, you can kill me. This is an embarrasment. Can someone delete this

    O, hey, I'm not a complete and total idiot. I was reffering to the don't post in the intro forums until you have been around for X months type of thing. Although a formal documentation of the important rules is appreciated. Important meaning stuff that would get me banned. Although other stuff is important too. (I'm working really hard not to offend anybody, just saying that will probably get me flammed.)

    You don't have to make an intro. I still haven't.

    A good rule to follow would be not to post at all till you are

    A. Smart enough to understand the rules themselves.

    B. Lurked enough to understand the unwritten rules and the general atmosphere.

    If you can't accomplish either, then you should continue lurking or GTFO.

    Lets be honest, you're gonna get flamed at some point, just roll with the punches. The real trick to not getting banned is to 1: don't be an idiot, 2: don't piss off a mod.

    A quick way to break both of those rules is plagiarism.

    Make sure to keep politics in the politics subforum, same with anything that's NSFW.

    LOCKED FOR BEING A FUCKING STUPID THREAD.

    Lurk lots. And then lurk more. Wait until you're not some soft pink human, but instead your skin has hardened into a thick crusty shell.

    And definitely, when you have stupid ass questions to ask, use the SUPPORT section and don't dirty up GENERAL DISCUSSION with basically your strikes one and two to the banhammer man.
