1. dont just say something sucks(vid cards,OSes,games, monitors,political parties) that is pure flamebait.
2. If you post a joke make sure it is funny(even then watch out cuz you might offend someone)Lame jokes are flammable
3. if you do say something sucks give a viable reason(even then people will say you are stupid and don't know crap about comps)
4. don't post advertisemants either or plugs for other peoples' businesses( except for compuwiz1)mods hate that and you will be flamed before it gets locked
5. If someone says that they dont like the movie "Evil Dead 2" make fun of them even if you don't like it.
6. you'll never be able to fully avoid the flame as there will always be people running network support that don't do anything until something breaks so they just post here all day and need to get creative.(I've had people flame me that actually agreed with me.)
Add anything that I missed. I hope this helps
