these are tips, and you don't have to follow them. So ok. I dont really care.
The fact that you're calling your guide "tips" is irrelevant. It doesn't give you an excuse you falsely educate new members with your misinformed belief system, I'm afraid.
Also, dismissing my advice by saying "I dont really care" is sort of rude, and it happens to go against Rule #4 of yours ("dont" should have an apostrophe).
Not setting a very good example for newer members here, now are we?
They are tips. How is that hard to comprehend? It's a guide, sure, but they are meant to be tips. I don't think I can make this any clearer but go ahead prove me wrong?
I changed the 'rules' to 'tips'.

I have grammar. AND punctuation. I just got used to it because I type a lot in my projects and people always spaz out if they see a spelling mistake. Did you know spaz ISN'T a real word?
[/offtopic]maybe you should look up spazz, as spazz is the correct spelling of the word.
..... Cue the stupid awkward face ^^' and it can be spelled both ways, anyway.
I always thought of it as spazz. Anyway, I think I may be lacking in #3 and #6

Not true. Stereotyping isn't cool.

It's not stereotyping... It's just annoying and hard to understand if somebody says, "lolwut thx manz yuv rely halpd meee." or something like that.MY TIPS wrote:

Sure, but everybody should have one-Programming, learning and inspiring (Helping included). Posting a lot isn't really going to help anyone, and usually it's spam. It's good to post a lot if your posts are mostly helpful, though.MY TIPS wrote:

That's not true at all... Nobody likes a wise guy ever, unless it's in the correct thread.RESPECT THE MODS.
You should respect everyone, not just mods in particular.
He never said you shouldn't respect anyone, but these are tips-It's important to respect mods or tomorrow this will happen... (First image on Scratch )
Cheers.

Respect ALL people, not just mods.
Establish your command, make them respect whether you are there or not.

I don't care if you write it on gold parchment and enclose the disagreement with an immortality potion plus a billion dollars, you still shouldn't disagree with everyone, all the time. And devil's advocate should only be when you want people to see the OTHER side of the argument(not necessarily one you agree with).MY TIPS wrote:

Good grammar makes people respect you more. It's a FACT. imnotbob was shouted at until he got good English, then he was accepted as a regular.MY TIPS wrote:

While that's true, success is always a goal. Unless you want to lurk and avoid people, in which case see a doctor.MY TIPS wrote:

Protip:You can't do it well. I can, though.RESPECT THE MODS.

Yes, but I tend to respect, say, MyRedNeptune, coolstuff or cheddargirl more than, say, you.
Cheers.This is what saved you from a barrage of trolling.
