Posting 101

[Paraiba Ocean]

Well...I don't suppose I'm the one to be posting this, but I'd figure I'll go ahead and introduce myself. I'm Paraiba Ocean. Para if I like you.

Anyway, some of you know me from DH and some of you don't. First off, I'm a grammar whore. Or a spelling one. Whatever.

Now...here are a few guidelines I'd figure I'd post here for people who aren't sure what to do.

• Think before you post
  Some people can get easily offended or defensive by what you post. Proofread before clicking the submit button.
  
• Don't get your shorts in a twist.
  If someone disagrees with you, respond maturely, as the rules state. Screaming "OMFG!" or ranting about how you hate when people disagree with you only irritates people further and you'll end up looking like a fool.
  
• Grammar is your friend.
  No really, it is. It's incredibly annoying to read a post with no capitalization, no commas, no periods, or any punctuation. I know everyone here went to school or is in it right now and I doubt that you don't know anything about it. Also, spael chek ur psot fro tipos.
  
• Don't post the same topic several times.
  I know it's tempting for every Sasuke fangirl to make a thread about his "smexiness" or whatnot, but let's just contain the love in one thread. Mkay?
  
• Dun txt tlk.
  Nothing is more annoying to me than to see a post that is a running AIM chat session or whatever. How many of us want to see our good staff talk like this:
  Syara: hi, estonanta.
  Esto: hi, syara.
  Syara: wut ^
  Esto: nm. u?
  Syara: jc. we shud get an Ino sprite nxt.
  Esto: ya. we shud. ne thing else?
  Syara: ya. dere wer sum problms wit sum ppl on the *insert name* thread.
  
  That's annoying and irritating. This goes back to grammar being you friend, but be a good tyke and don't do this. XD
  
• Use good common sense.
  Common sense is lacking these days. So let me fill you in on how you can pretend to have some if the common sense fairy forgot to visit you a few years back;
  1) Don't post stuff that's pornographic.
  2) Don't swear like a sailor.
  3) Don't disrespect the staff.
  4) Do respect everyone here.
  5) Don't draw attention to yourself.
  

I might be adding stuff later or not, but whatever. Just remember to have fun and respect the rules and staff.
