1. Don't double (or triple, or quadruple, etc.) post. It is goddamn annoying and it serves no purpose. There is one situation where a double post in okay, and that is after 7 days of inactivity in a topic that you actually need input in, meaning the question has not been answered, the problem has not been solved, and so on and so forth.
2. Don't necropost. If you don't know what a necropost is, it will be explained in the next sentence. A necropost is a post in a topic that is at least 1 month old or has dropped to page 2. In this forum, topics that old usually have no purpose left, as either the question asker has disappeared r the question/problem has been answered/solved. Necroposts only cause the front pages to be filled with locked threads, dropping actual problems down the page into oblivion quickly. A necropost is allowed if you have either started that topic and have no received an answer/solution, or you need the same answer/solution that someone else needed but didn't get, which creating another thread for would be frowned upon.
3. Quit it with the damn forum emotes. Yes, we are aware there is a Kid emote. And that there are delicious fruit and spike emotes as well. There has been spam since day 1 of these forums of posts entirely containing those emotes, and at best between 1 and 4 words. It is highly annoying and could also cause lag for those with slow connections. So stop doing it.
Any other tips you would like to suggest should be PM'd to a mod, preferably me, and if it is good, it will be added. If you read all of this, good for you.
1 extra note, however: the crap forum is immune to all of these rules, but that doesn't necessarily mean we won't get mad at you.
