The same rule I'm giving you, post in the right forum. Aren't you old enough to know better?

I'll volunteer this one for the n00b's: don't cross-post in GH, Motherboards, Technical Support and CPU/Processors just because you didn't get a reply in the first 15 minutes ;) Also, run for your life if Mercenary4Hire takes a dislike to ya! ;)

What is quite funny about this whole thread is that I was IM'ing adul and asked if there was anywhere to read up on general rules. She told me to post on it and I said I was too afraid to. So she did it for me. Hehehe. Sorry Adul.

1. If you want to flame someone, don't bother saying anything about the person's mother, or being gay, or being 12 years old. There hasn't been a good flame using those topics in years. Yours won't be funny either.

2. If you see something cool on the net that someone else posted on another site, and you're thinking about posting it here with a thread title of something like "Check this out! Cool!", just remember it was already posted here. Multiple times. Yeah, really. Yes, that one too.

3. If your handle looks LiKe ThIs, we think you are a goofball. Expect to be treated accordingly.

4. if u type this way pls stop. kthxbye.

5. If your thread is about having communications problems with someone, pick up the phone already. IMing isn't the proper tool for the job. And you'll have your problem solved much faster.

6. Please don't quote excessively. It's not all that scary to edit out the ones that have shrunk to 5 characters wide. Be brave and give it a try.

7. Your credit rating, your new celly and the arrival of a rebate check aren't particularly interesting.

8. A meaningful thread title gets more interest than "OMG!"

9. Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

10. Nobody cares about your postcount, unless you are obviously posting crap just to increase it. Then we don't like you. So don't feel you have to reply to every thread.

1. No "leet speak".
2. No teh, pwn, or any of that crap.
3. Lurk for at least a month before you post.
4. Go and see if there are any forums you like other than Off Topic.
5. Don't complain about the forums. It won't do any good.
