This made me want to quote out this I get in the older threads:

Okay so apparently it was not so obvious so I might as well post this here:
HOW TO BE APPRECIATED IN OFF-TOPIC (or at the very least not hated by everyone):
-Don't make threads unless you're 1000% sure they've got content and are awesome
-Post stuff that makes sense. That and only that.
-Don't try to be "cute" or "moe", you look idiotic.
-Don't get pissed off if you get pissed on - deal with it, that's the name of the game.
-Don't necropost. EVER.
-Don't start drama/flame wars
-Use correct grammar
-Don't, do not, DON'T YOU DARE use memes/image macros everywhere, goddammit.
-Don't go up against people because they riffed you - they probably had a good reason to do so.
-Some people here have been in OT for quite a while now. And are respected in it for not being stupid. Go against these people calling them names and you can say goodbye to you ever being accepted in OT.
-There has to be more crap to add but I can't remember atm
Seriously, not the hardest thing to do.
People may now bitch about how this list is bullshit, but whatever. I don't claim to know anything, that's just how it worked for me.
This is why before posting, you lurk. A lot. And you analyze how the forum works in order to not look like an idiot.
Whatever I shouldn't be explaining all of that really, but apparently common sense is anything but common so here you go.
