The Ten Commandments Of Being a Newb

[Skulhedface]

COMMANDMENTS 6, 7, and 8

Commandment #6: THOU SHALT LEARN WHEN TO QUIT. Obviously Rongi has this problem, since he gayed up this thread hardcore. But to be serious, sometimes a joke or something that one person or the other does not get leads to page after fucking page of nothing but PC Diarrhea. Even I'm guilty of this (and Rongi helped contribute to it) so everyone breaks this commandment now and then, but DO NOT MAKE IT A FUCKING HABIT.

Commandment #7: THOU SHALT SAY SOMETHING RELEVANT. I'll admit, it's funny as hell to see someone blast someone else for posting about Twinkies in Music Reviews or something equally as stupid, but it's starting to happen too god damn more often. It's frustrating to see "You have a reply" in my mailbox for a thread I started (for instance, Guitar Players) and see someone that would post something like this:
"My favorite band is Britney Spears"
God dammit, WTF DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?!? AND IF YOU LIKE HER SO MUCH WTF ARE YOU EVEN DOING HERE? And yes, your inside jokes may be funny between you and your friends, but trust me, no one's going to understand what the fuck it's about and they will, newbs and regs alike, fucking stone your ass like a caveman orgy.

Commandment #8: THOU SHALT PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT FUCKING THREAD YOU ARE POSTING IN. This goes hand in hand with Commandment #7. It may be relevant, but that doesn't mean you should be posting there. Fret not, I've made this mistake more than once, but I learned from it.

However, this commandment more or less applies to stupid fucking people. People who will run into a "I love Metal" thread and start rambling on and on about the merits of techno or something to that effect. Something relevant but still nothing that adds to the discussion or something that you KNOW you will catch shit for. It's just not as funny when you're deliberately TRYING to get your ass yelled at.
