@Nonlethal: Humility is your friend when you're a newcomer posting on a forum. Try to avoid arguments; be passive and admit your mistakes when older users call you out on them. Never assume, for example:

4: If you look at the person i replied to with the meme, it makes perfect sense.

That just puts you off as being too presumptuous and conceited. Even if you believe that you are correct and everyone else is wrong, just swallow your pride and keep quiet - you look more mature that way.


Older users aren't necessarily right all the time. But if they are well liked and adjusted to a community, it is generally not wise to start arguments against them.

Chronofox is correct there. If someone tells you something about something you've said or something you've made, you should usually take the advice, especially if it's an older user. Don't let your pride overcome your common sense; it's happened too often. There was someone (I think RetroBritGamer) who posted a YouTube advertisement after his previous YouTube advertisement thread was locked and edited by a moderator. He was claiming he didn't get notified it was against the rules, which is not true. He also named the title of his thread "Scary Barrels" because he knew that the world "barrels" would attract PewDiePie fans, even though the video on the thread was not related to barrels at all. He also used his nationality in his channel name, which irritates me even more because nationality or race shouldn't matter when you're playing a game. It's like another channel named ModernWarNegro who puts "Nigga Plays" in the title of every one of his videos.

Long story short, don't be arrogant and use your mind when you're speaking on the Internet. There are hundreds of registered users on this forum, and they can all nitpick and critique your posts freely.
