What more advice from "lurk more, faggot" do you want?

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Look at what posts get a bunch of positive ratings versus negative ones, since user feedback is about the only use those little stickers have. Also observe the first five or so pages of a thread to see the reception it gets. If it's positive, imitate. If it's not, well, then don't.

It also helps to read the rules, forum descriptions and any stickied threads in case you somehow don't know to do that. I'm presuming you didn't, considering you posted this thread here.

Letters make words. Words make sentences. Sentences make paragraphs.

Now and get em, Tigers.

Do it moar.

That is all.

Pretty much find something you think is funny and just read. And don't necessarily feel the need to just jump in and say something in a thread. Maybe what you have to say isn't new, and doesn't provide any sort of information to the thread.

I think the rule we're all getting to understand at this point is if you aren't having fun, it isn't worth doing it.

You should always let us know all your usernames elsewhere and whether you kept fart slaves prior to the great ShartWar of 2020.

1. Lurk moar.
2. If in doubt, refer to step 1.

If you really can't lurk without having someone hold your hand, I'll spell it out for you:
1. Find a tall building
2. Go to the roof
3. Jump off
4. Do a flip lol

 

[Chewing Glass]

Cover yourself in oil

The most important part of lurking is to always, always leave your real name and full address in every post you make. Because real talk: If you don't do that, are you even really lurking?

 

[Fandom Trash]

Pm every single member your nudes.

When beating your meat to fat women eating copious amounts of fast food always remember to apply a reasonable sized drop of butter to the shaft.

Don't use Reddit-isms in your posts.

Also if you're gonna post something controversial or dumb remember it won't be buried by downvotes and people will pass by and neg rate it till this site shuts down.

Also don't give a shit about your reaction score.

1. Understand we are all autist here so don't get pissy when someone gives you shit on the site. I've seen one too many newbies get angry about negative ratings and derailing threads.

2. You can delete your post, only double post if you have to.

3. Find a thread you can contribute to so you can start to learn how the Farms work, then after you've had practice move on to other threads.

4. write your post out, read it, and consider if it adds anything to the conversation if not delete it.

5. limit your initial posting, When you finally get the courage to join in on the fun you want to bring up everything you wanted to talk about while lurking but you shouldn't. Not only will you burn yourself out but you could end up saying something stupid or pissing of kiwis and not realize it till every thread hates you.

6, We use bad words here, especially since the word filter got axed, if you can't stand people calling you a retard, nigger or a faggot get off the site it isn't for you.

nobody cares about your autistic political views

[BoingBoingBoi]

lurking means reading the site but not posting. you've already failed so you should probably just end it all (in minecraft)

 

[SIGSEGV]

nobody cares

I care. Some of you kiwis are alright.
