How not to fuck up the forums

[LG]

Okay, I've been here a while now. Longer than most. I've made friends, I've had some fun, I've shouted some obscenities and, yes, I even jerked off at some of the pics (call it human weakness).

Some things have been rattling around in my brain lately and I wanted to say them. Please hear me out first before ignoring me.

My advice is mostly directed at the guys (including myself- I don't always take my own advice) but some is also directed at the girls. I have a few words for newbies, but please- all of you- don't take any of this personally. I love you all. Just not today.

And you might say "Who is LG to pass on advice?". Well, truthfully I'm just another wanker (literally, but aren't we all?). But I like to think I've been here long enough to know a thing or two and to be allowed the occasional rant. I promise I won't make another for a while...

Words of advice

• The only new thread you can reasonably create as a rookie with 10 or fewer posts under your belt without being seen as a fuckwit is a thread where you introduce yourself.
  
  If you have pictures to post, find an existing thread to put them in or- if you're creating a new thread- give it a theme (themes with the word "cock" seem to be popular around here) and stick all your new pictures there. Do not flood the forum with new threads.
  
  Don't ask stupid questions. Transsexuals do not want a second penis, they cannot have children and they are not superhuman.
  
  Please try to make sense when you type. Read your stuff before posting. Is it a pile of gobbledygook? If yes, then don't post it. Don't forget paragraphs and punctuation and try to learn the difference between "they're", "their" and "there". Pedantic as it may seem, it'll help make your stuff more readable. And it will help prevent me from getting pissed off when I read it.
  
  If you seriously have the urge to post a picture of your own dick, have the decency to do it in one of the appropriate threads (the ones where other guys have posted their cocks) and do not just stick it in a random thread.
  
  If your dick is big, don't remind the guys about it and don't keep showing off to the girls.
  
  If you've been with a tgirl or two you don't need to tell us. If you're friends with them, don't name names, unless you want them to stop being your friends. There's few feelings worse than the way one feels when their trust is betrayed.
  
  Do not call the girls ugly or annoying. Many of us find them attractive and you don't know them well enough to judge their character. Respect the girls and you will earn their respect too.
  
  Respect the guys, especially the mods and older posters. We've been here a while so we must be doing something right. Take our advice when we give it to you.
  
  Don't call post op vaginas 'disgusting'. There are post op girls here we happen to think very highly of and, secondly, many girls long to have a vagina. Being cruel to them is a disgusting thing to do.
  
  Don't try and bump up your post count with a slew of LOL comments and smilies. You may make a jillion vacuous posts in a week, but respect comes with quality, not quantity.
  
  Don't be a troll. Some people post nothing for sometime, then join in a discussion just to cause trouble.
  
  Don't just cut and paste- have an opinion on things too. But be willing to listen to what others have to say as well.
  
  Spread your time around the forums. Don't just stay in the Sports section for example. If that's the only thing you want to discuss, you're in the wrong place.
  
  Don't judge on appearances. Sure Moni was hot, but she was also a bitch. When she was here, some guys defended her despite the obvious fact that she was a screwloose scummy slapper, just because they fancied her.
  
  Some girls are worth defending, others are not. Don't let your dick tell your head what to do.
  
  To the girls: not all of us are assholes. Give us a chance before you pass judgement.
  
  Be nice to LG today. He woke up on the wrong side of the bed, it seems.

What you choose to accept is up to you. You may think it's a pile of old shite. You may feel (quite rightly, I think) that this should become a sticky thread. You may even think it's the word of God. Me, I think the above are fair comments.

I've said what I wanted to say for now. Your comments, promises of undying love or even words of abuse are welcome.

Have a good day

Nice guidelines LG, but I think you forgot one:



Please, no "Am I gay" threads.

Good one!

Anyway, glad someone's looking at something other than the porn threads.

This would be a really good idea for a 'sticky'

Wise and sage advice.

Now we just have to get the
newbies and some of the
old heads to comply.

Well said, LG! Here's a couple more:

Learn to use the shift key and avoid typing in all caps, your effort will be appreciated.

Use the Search, Luke! Yeah, it's a bit cumbersome, but try to avoid asking the same old question for the 13,456th time by seeing if it's been asked before.

Please don't use avatars exceeding the forum's specs (as shown in your profile), and learn to reduce those 10megapixel images to a size that fits on the average 21" monitor.

Be nice to LG, he woke up on the wrong side of the bed again.

Good points people. Together we can make a difference.

... Not to beat a dead horse, but we have a hu-u-u-u-u-ge problem with "your" and "you're" in here also. Huge. I can excuse someone where English is a second language to them, but Jesus, for the rest of you that stuff is something you should have mastered by the forth grade.
And let's not forget the three rule that many in here violate: Never, NEVER utilize more than three punctuation marks (!!!)(???)(...), particularly the latter ellipses, to try to add emphasis to something. It's overkill beyond three (listening JohnnyWalkerBlackLabel?). We need to practice conserving our punctuation marks, people. ...Got that ?!

Yes, I'm being anal, but so friggin' what? Cover splitting hairs in the next set of suggestions.
