If one doesn't exist already, it would appear that some new users could use some common sense advice on surviving here beyond the posting guidelines.

For example:
1) Don't post personal projects on here unless you're able to accept that some people might not like it.
2) Either work to maintain your anonymity or accept that people will find your real name and info.

Rule #3 never mention TWW. NEVER

2/20/2013 2:20:57 PM

Don't be an asshole if you've posted personal info including your full name, company info, or any affiliation that you do not want to know about your online behavior.

2/20/2013 3:37:48 PM

Lurk around for at least a year before posting.

2/20/2013 3:41:02 PM

Treat this place like prison. Your best hope is to find one of the following people and form an alliance with their internet gang:

begonias
Slave Famous
Mtan Man214
adultswim
elkaybie


Also, shank someone your first day here.

2/20/2013 3:42:10 PM

Not a script! Wow.

I second the shanking. But I prefer the de-panting variety of the term. Choose your shankee wisely.

3) Buy Premium and go buck-wild with HTML, because this is one of the few places left on the Web that lets users post anything close to raw code.

2/20/2013 4:09:29 PM

embrace the fact that most TWWers are in their 30's and 40's. post accordingly

2/20/2013 4:12:06 PM

yep, you better find a tww gang to join fast or you'll be outcasted quick. if that doesn't work out, come join the discussion in Entertainment

2/20/2013 4:14:42 PM

Wow, expected a script but nope. What an elite list to be included in.

Also, I think it should be added with some female verification
If you're female & a new user and people find out your gender, things will get really creepy really fast

Stopped reading after : TWW New User

2/20/2013 4:29:13 PM

^^^ or just not give a fuck

2/20/2013 4:35:27 PM

4) Don't post until you have >1000 posts, no one will accept your opinion or take you seriously and you will get made fun of.

2/20/2013 4:35:48 PM

^ hahaha, but how will they ever get 1000 posts that way?!

2/20/2013 4:40:31 PM

^^ Just follow BubbleBobble's lead. Relentless emoticons

2/20/2013 4:43:01 PM

anything you say on TWW can and will be used against you to ruin your entire life

2/20/2013 4:49:03 PM

Tread lightly.

Don't discuss TWW in anything other than glowing terms anywhere else online.

It's also important to note that if you talk negatively about rpd officers, they will not hesitate to call your parents during Easter Sunday dinner....



....just sheer speculation...

5.) Use before posting a new topic.

Chit Chat is a congregation of assholes. Lurk for a year before daring to enter.

2/20/2013 9:00:12 PM

If you have boobs, make sure no one knows about it.

2/20/2013 9:02:18 PM

^ hey girl...

2/20/2013 9:02:50 PM

Dammit, they know

2/20/2013 9:03:36 PM

Does this mean that I am in an internet gang with begonias?

And that it took me 9 years to get to a point where the people of the internet still won't take me seriously until I post 18 more times?

I like to think that my internet gang is headed up by Skwinkle.

Don't incriminate yourself - There is always the chance that a member of law enforcement could browse this board. Do not post anything that will incriminate you or someone else.


Here's an example:
