How to Post on NS General and Stay Semi-Sane

A few simple rules:

1. Dont take anything seriously.

2. "You are an idiot and I hope you die." or anything similar is basicaly a way of saying "Hello"

3. If you dont want your topic turned onto a subject relating to something touchy to everybody, dont start a topic.

4. 'Humour' is a relative term here.

5. Its best to assume that nobody else has one.

6. Goatse = Death

8. Dead baby jokes = Death

9. Tubgirl = Death

10. Man Fae = Death (although this one isnt on NS that much...)

11. Argueing with Fass about homosexuality = ...do you want to know? Lets just say you will pray for death :P

12. Expecting anybody to agree with you is silly.

13. Expecting people not to point out that little flaw in your arguement is silly.

14. Expecting people to address the main points of a strong arguement is silly.

15. We dont care that you OMGNEEDPOINTSINOUTWARSTYPEGAME!, take your spam elsewhere.

Thats all for now :P

16 No matter what you post about, some one will attempt to turn it into a thread to discuss religious and/or political differences.

That is so not true! Typical for a Christian Conservative again...

Fortunately for you I don't have the time to rip you a new one, so I will just contend that I resent that.

My #1 rule:
18. Facts require facts require facts. Therefore it is best to be completely nonsensical.

The rest were okay, but these three, in my mind, stand out as far and away the most important and pertinent of all of them. Good stuff!

...Oh, and it's 'argument' :p

19. Do not ever try to pass yourself off as Supreme Ruler of the Multiverse, Max Barry™, John Ashcroft®, or other mythical and non-existent personalities.

9. Tubgirl = Death
Since you skipped 7, in staying with the spirit of the surrounding rules:

7. Harlequin fetus = Death

With almost 9,000 post you darn well better have achieved insanity.

i disagree, they're normally tolerated allright. the only exception i can think of is when eutrisca posted pics of his grandsons

19. The slaying of Elves is permitted. Insulting Fairies and feeding Trolls is not.

This is the club where those of us who are kindof, ummmmm, odd, meet. I haven't seen any elves (doesn't mean that they aren't there though). But lots of peasents to slay.

peasents are for burninating, just like the countryside and the thatched-roof cottages

Imagine if you will a place on inconcievable insanity, where the sane are deemed insane and the insane sane. Where the dogs of war bark incessantly, where the doves of peace shit on you frequently. A place where Pie = 3.1delicious. I submit to your approval, The General Forum Zone.

Hah, very few of you were here when there was only one forum. That was insanity, not to mention it never worked.

No if you don't mind I have a bridge to rake.
