Don't be a dick.

This isn't so much a rule as so much advice for a new user like OP - read the posts in Spergatory and avoid doing that stuff at all costs. That combined with not being a dick will serve you well here.
 
I love flipping back through Spergatory

Anyway, when you post a new thread/post ask your selves these questions:

1) Is this worth discussing?: You didn't think we were gonna have 15 pages talking about what Chris's farts sound like, unless of course his next status is about that, which it won't be.
2) Has this been discussed before? Am I bringing anything new to the table?: "Hey guys, I wonder what will happen when Barb dies?" This isn't new or original, please discuss it on a older thread.
3) Am I going to start a war?: Saying a opinion is ok, even when others disagree with you, but please don't make a thread (like this one http://cwckiforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1583) where everyone just fights, it will get locked.
4) Am I doing this to get Chris's attention?: I don't feel like reading a book just to learn it wasn't for me, you're posting for us, not him.
5) Does this make me sound like an asshole?: If it does, you're probably being an asshole. And you don't wanna be an asshole (http://cwckiforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2088)
6) Am I deviating from the topic at hand?: I've seen a few honest threads get locked because someone makes an off hand remark about the neurocomplexity of a snake (http://cwckiforums.com/viewtopic.php?f= ... &start=525) or the origin of species (http://cwckiforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2367). If you see this, please don't engage and try to get the topic back on track. There's this wonderful place called Deep Thoughts where you can take these thought provoking debates.

I am not a mod, these are just my tips.

Edit: 7) Is truly about the forum that I have posted on?: This post (http://cwckiforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1799) would have been fine if it was in General and was just about the Twitter CEO. Tacking Chris's name to something does not make it about Chris. We have 11 forums here, counting the subfourms. 2 are about Chris, 1 for Sonichu, the rest for whatever your heart desires. Please pick the right board.

In addition to that, don't post anything at all resembling anything in this thread.

^That thread is the only Authorized Sperg Dumping Grounds. If you wanna Sperg out, please do it there.
 
I'm bumping this thread because there's been a spike in new users due to the house fire and I've seen quite a few locked threads. By bumping this, hopefully more people will read it since it'll be back on the first page.
Please read this thread and the one linked below.

When a mod tells you to stop doing something, stop. I've seen a few people banned now because they were asked to stop doing something and either argued or ignored the warnings. WhiteKnight was told to knock the ween shit off and then sent some creepy PMs out to other users. He got banned because he didn't listen to Surtur and Brook. In the don't troll Chris thread some user argued with Brook and got banned. It doesn't really matter if you agree with the mods and admins or not. They can Bann you, so just do what they say.

Pikonic gave some very good advice in the gimmick users thread. PLEASE remember this. I'm really glad that there are some new users who are willing to read before posting. They give me faith that we won't be completely swarmed by weens and Batmans.
 
Null added this to the What-if improvement thread regarding to posting about Chris which I would like to add here.

If you have something important to say, it goes in Updates.
If you have something you want to say, it goes in Discussion.
If you have something that could go unsaid, it goes in What If.
If you have something that should never be said, it goes in Spergatory.

The update threads are there for us reading discussion and finding out there was another Chris post 9 pages back. Instead of searching for eternity you can look for the post in the three or four pages in the respected thread.

There's no shame in not posting to Updates. The only time I do now is if there's a question that is asked and I can actually answer it or I have an update screen cap that hasn't been added yet.
There's no shame in posting to the random threads. If your observation or question is one sided or you don't think the discussion will last more than a few pages, just ask it there. I try my best to frequent the random what if so people's questions don't go unanswered.
If you want to make a shitty what if for cheap laughs, do it in the "What if the worst thread"...thread doing otherwise isn't funnier, it's just a pain.
