When you post on 8chan, does everybody call you a faggot and tell you to kill yourself?
That's because you're a faggot, and should probably kill yourself.
Your newfaggotry is visible from space. You're going to have to go through a few attitude adjustments. These are a few general (but critical) tips to stop you from COMPLETELY ruining 8chan.
No.15
Let's start with the obvious.
Don't use that fucking pic, you faggot.
No.18
>>15That is step number 1.
Step number 2: Shed your defensive mentality.
People are gonna call you a faggot. You've been called a faggot three times in this thread alone.
But that's okay: you don't have to defend yourself. Nobody knows who you are. You have no reputation to uphold because you are completely anonymous. You can pretend to be someone else in the same goddamn thread and nobody will care. However, if you're too obvious about this, we'll all just call you a faggot again.
But if somebody insults you, don't start a flame war, you retard. Nobody is going to take your side.
I have seen this exchange occur way too many times:
>OP posts faggoty shit>Anon: Kill yourself>OP: MAKE ME>OP gets bombarded with a flood of shock imagesNever fling shit at 8chan. You will be very quickly outnumbered.

Don't give out personal info on 8chan
don't let 8chan have access to your personal info
if you have a photo that you took, make sure the exif doesn't point to you
no-one here feels the need to prove ourselves better than 4chan, or explain why we're better than 4chan. So don't ask.
don't expect the mods to do anything if it doesn't break the rules
don't expect the mods to do anything if it kinda bends the rules
hotwheels has consistently proven himself based.
there are other boards, visit them
but be wary of the general atmosphere and culture of the board.
dubs are when the last two digits of the post number are the same.
when you check out an IP camera, make sure you reset the camera in order to clear the IP logs of that camera.

Leave your morals at the door.
You're gonna see some shit. Learn to deal with that. This is the price of free speech.
However, this does not entitle you to derail other people's threads. If other people want to trade gore gifs it is well within their rights to do so. Live and let live.
Just because you're mad that pedos exist doesn't mean you get to spam their threads with pictures of spiderman. If you don't like something that's been posted here, just ignore it.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=BasedAnother tip: Generally people discourage the use of sites like knowyourmeme or ED (edit: EncyclopediaDramatica).
Use them anyway. It's good to know where all our dank memes come from. Also, next time they get posted, you'll understand the joke.

When linking to articles (especially articles from sites that 8chan dislikes such as jezebel) use archive.today to save a snapshot of the webpage.
there are several benefits to doing so
>people who visit the archive.today link don't contribute to the ad revenue of the article site.
>anons know that an archive.today link is safe and doesn't have any malware attached
>if the article gets deleted or removed, then it will be preserved by archive.today
No.31
>>23Fuck that shit, encyclopediadramatica.se is definitely the best place to get up to speed on most things happening on chans. It has a bunch of misinformation, but if you can learn to recognize that it is hands down the best place to learn from that isn't a chan.
No.32
>>31Yeah, I know. I mentioned that.
Although I suppose 'ED' isn't really descriptive enough.
Good point.
No.33
With regards to the thread topic: stop being so arrogant, you newfags. Nobody gives a fuck.
When people see you being a shithead they're immediately going to know how much of a newfag you are.
And as a general rule, don't derail threads unless they're REALLY cancerous.
Roll back the attitudes, you guys. You're making this place shittier.

Proper greentext technique?
No.69
>>68That's a pretty big topic.
If you're in a shit flinging contest with another anon, or if you think their opinion is retarded, you can use it to strawman them. Like so:
>>68>"Help me, I'm such a newfag!"You can also use it to say something that you inferred from the post. Like so:
>>68>doesn't know that it's gonna take several hours before he gets an answerYou can also use it to write a greentext story. Just google it and read a few. You should understand pretty quickly.

Not OP, but just to let you newfriends know :
Yes some people who lurk on this website are insane. Yes some are disgusting too. Yes you're going to see fucked up shits. But with free-speech comes everything, the best and the worst. So no need to get your jimmies rustled over what you may see here.
Also best advice I know : If you find that the content of the board you currently are on is shit, simply start an interesting thread to make shits less shitty.
No.83
>>18Some boards have ID's enabled. On these boards, you will have the same ID for all the posts you make in a thread. Do not "samefag" on one of these boards.
>>20If a global rule is broken, make a global report of the post.
In regards to child pornography, 8chan applies the more stringent "Dost Test." Anything 2d is permitted.

/b/ is a place for false autistic stories

Here are my personal anti-newfag rules.
1.If you don't like something for the love of fuck, don't reply. Don't try to sage or derail, don't try to argue, just don't reply.
The thread will die a clean silent death and no one will be harmed. Not the website, the board, now you, not even the faggot OP who made that piece of shit thread.
Addendum: Never reply to bait. Never. Even calling it out as bait, don't do it, don't reply to the people who are replying and arguing. Ignore, ignore, ignore.
This is what kills bad content on chans. Not sageing not nothing. Just ignore.
2.Don't be autistic. Don't engage some small thing that you hate with vitriol and rage. Don't create blog posts. You aren't the smartest cookie in the room and your opinions aren't facts.
3.Lurk. Fucking lurk. If you don't get something, don't understand it, lurk.

I'm glad this board exists , it will change things for the better if used properly.
