Which version?

It might just be because I didn’t grow up in a communist society, but I don’t like fort’s guide. Rule 1 is “Be Funny” but humor is too subjective. Rule 2 suggests if you make a dumb mistake ~~beg forgiveness~~ apologize and stop posting until you know the community. Rule 3 says make short posts, so I guess people should avoid topics that involve a lot of thought. Rule 4 I just don’t understand the wording at all. From what I get it says to avoid making threads (best leave that to the good posters) and if people are mean to you then you should leave.

This is a wiki. I suppose I should have written “I encourage debate on this” at the top or something. However, going in and deleting it and pointing out that I am full of **** here is not only ****y and bumhurt, but also counterproductive. Are you seriously suggesting that a guide could hurt, or that flamebait couldn’t benefit from a few “hey guys, just so you know, you act this way you can expect to get flamed” kind of tips?

You fail to realise that these are guidelines and not actually set in stone.

I mean It might be totally possible to be an unfunny, stupid, tl;dr post maker and STILL be respected but it seems that the majority of people here enjoy wit Log in to see images!

unfunny: One mans unfunny is another man’s hilarious. I found Oda’s posts or Something Witty’s posts that fort listed under “funny” as very special.
stupid: So you’ve never made a stupid mistake? ever? wow, I wish I was you.
tl;dr: Thought out conversations will naturally have longer posts. Should we discourage that?

Rule 2 suggests if you make a dumb mistake ~~beg forgiveness~~ apologize and stop posting until you know the community, so you better know everything before you even look at flamebate.

I know, I wish people didn’t care about the quality of my posts and blindly accepted anything I typed as good.
