0 points

I found several threads where people have been flamed. Due to that, I'd like to tell people how to behave on a forum. Also, I have pretty much had it with the grammar issue.

Section 1: Grammar
CONTENTS:
1.) Proper punctuation
2.) Spelling
3.) Correcting "their, there, where, etc

Section 2: Annoyance
CONTENTS:
1.) Questions
2.) Questions for upcoming games
3.) Asking the same question OVER AND OVER AGAIN

Section 3: Attempting to flame
CONTENTS:
1.) What the hell-
2.) What-to-flame-with, what-not-to-flame-with
3.) "Ass..."

Section 4: Organization of posts
CONTENTS:
1.) Making your post make sense
2.) Proper usage of double-enters
3.) Use of smiles

SECTION 1: GRAMMAR
Firstly, I'd like to talk about grammar. This is by far, the most used feature of n00b posters. To save yourself from talking like a moron, read this over.

1: Proper punctuation
Seriously, allot of n00bs do not even know what a period does. Firstly, you capitalize the first letter in a sentence with the shift key and after the sentence, you add a period (.), question mark (?), and exclamation point (!) depending of what post it is.

2: Spelling
This is the most annoying thing of n00bs, they always spell like s*. Really, words aren't spelled out how they sounds. I mean, exam, is pronounced xam. So if you can't do this, get a spell checker.

3: Correcting "their, there, where, etc
This is a stumpy one for grammar idiots. When multiple words are spelled different and sound the same, they're basically used in different meanings. Like there is used in locations, they're are referring to people, and their is also referring to people

SECTION 2: ANNOYANCE
Lets face it, n00bs are basically 20 pounds of flesh, bones, and blood and are nothing else. Since something like that does not have common sense they are bound to annoy somebody in a little bit when they join. Read this to learn how not to be a pain in the a--.

1: Questions
Yes, people always ask questions, but try to make it readable. "Where is this new game everyone talks about?" is understandable but "wher iz tis nu gam evry1 takz abut?" isn't.

2:Questions for upcoming games
Everyone asks these. But seriously, eventually everybody's eyes will bleed of all the questions. The following announced game is seriously coming in time, if you don't have the patience for it go set stuff on fire or something.

3: Asking the same questions OVER AND OVER AGAIN
Seriously, everybody asks the same question over again. "YO WHEN IS THE FLASH COMING OUT?" x10. It will eventually become a pain in the a-- to answer over and over! So, ask it only once, and Then be quiet.

SECTION 3: ATTEMPTING TO FLAME
As you are a member of a website linking to all parts of the world, you may have to flame to defend your title. But, allot of people have attempted to flame, but really failed. Here's some help to actually not look like a moron.

1: What the hell-
Seriously? What are you trying to do? Flame involving your mother or caretaker? Seriously, that is really, really old. Try to take on some of the new stuff going on, and it does not involve a grave.

2: What-to-flame-with, what-not-to-flame-with
Really, some stuff is good to flame with, such as poor amounts of food in that lil' cardboard box fridge over there and stuff that is not good to flame with, such as the victims mom. This involves number one of this topic, so figure what will crack up the flamer, or hurt his sorry lil' feelings...like he/she has any.

3: Ass...
Okay, just because you lost a flaming war doesn't mean you have to get all emotional and so on, you'll learn from your failures of flaming. Such as new combinations, and more tactics so you know when to strike at that vital moment.

LAST SECTION: ORGANIZATION OF POSTS
Now, it's time to organize your posts. After reading this, you'll be ready to actually take on the forum. If you still post gibberish after you read this, you seem to be a sad little mistake.

1: Making your post make sense
Back to the Edit Post button for you nubbins. Righto.
Anyways, be sure to quad read your post and make sure that it makes sense, or else you'll be called a village idiot.

2:Proper use of double-enters
Yes. It is.
At some points you may need to double enter and start a new paragraph, usually after 8 sentences, or just doing it once just to make your post a lil' sense more. Be sure to use these when needed, or you'll be a n00b-cannon.

Final: Use of smiles
:D :D :D
Seriously, use smiles appropriately. As in, if somebody posts happy, post a smile.
If someone posts depressed, post a frown.
Or, if your a Smilie-poster, leave the forum and don't even post at all.
However, smilies aren't really necessary.

LAST POINTERS:
*Do not multi-post, it gets boring to see messages from the same user over and over again.

*Never one word post, or you may be called a boring sloth.

*And never, ever, ever, quote the same thing over and over!

*Don't start an advice thread that goes on forever and, therefore, would most definitely not be read through by your targeted audience.

Thank the gods for Public Service Announcements... Although, I'm not sure if this will really do much.

Oh well, we can only hope!

I think any well-meaning n00blet will find this rather informative.

Of course, there is the issue of "Underage Nonobians" being able to retain the cognitive abilities necessary to read through this thread, but that's a different topic all together, isn't it?

Okay, on the chat, doing that is okay, and acceptable. and it may even be cute, and make you part of the more popular gang :3

Of course, it depends on who you're flaming, and why :3

Well, flaming can make you look stupid though.
There should be no reason to flame. If you get more popular by flaming, it's probably giving you a bad reputation.

Personally I think grammar is one of the most annoying things ever. This isn't a spelling bee competition. People can make an educated guess what people say even if it makes no scense. The term "noob" is just so judgemental. Give them a chance. Compromise to a point where everyone can respect one another.

There is a difference between a "n00b" and a "newbie".

A newbie is a person that is new to the site, but attempts to either fit in, contribute in some way, or is a generally likeable person.

A "n00b" is an annoying new or low-level person that gets on people's nerves. Think of it as the Troll's retarded cousin.

Also, a spelling bee has nothing to do with grammar. It's simply annoying if you have to spend five minutes attempting to figure out what one person is saying. If it's the occasional mistake, no one really cares, but when it's "hay ppl m nu hre hoo wnts 2 b my frnd?" it pisses people off. If that's the way you prefer to chat, go to the Teen Room. They welcome you with open arms.

Before I go any farther I must say you have very good points and I respect that. My definition of a "noob" is one who enjoys intentionally inflicting pain to others. Also one can understand slang without knowing slang. In other words someone can understand messed up words depending on what's said before and after. This is a website for teens isn't it? With the recklessness of swears and immature remarks of mature subjects, that's what my educated guess is.

This is a website for anyone who likes to play games. The youngest one's are in their early teens. That's why there is a Teen room... so that the teens can do teen things together, separate from the larger community.
