1. Forum Specific Rules
Eve Helldump
- Assume that every thread is NWS (no need to tag)
- No Homegrown
- Take it easy on the edgemaster racism and biggotry
- Do not troll or needlessly shitpost in TWR threads
- Do not do "No content" or "low content" posting - This includes shit like empty quoting, bullshit slapfights, image macros, "Same.", "I'm gay", shitty catchphrases you found on /r/eve or EVEO.
- Do not "snipe pages" without adding some sort of contribution to the thread. I will refer to this as the 2016 Contributory Snipe Pact of TWR.
- Do not post anything NWS ever, even if you tag it, don't do it.
- If you're not a director or don't have a comment/question directly related to the OP then stay the fuck out of the thread. You won't get moderated if you have a genuine contribution either answering the question or asking something based on the OP.
- Basically don't post things you think are funny, trolls, shitposting, etc. - Leave that shit in SGBS where it belongs. You're not nearly as funny as you think you are.
- Rules and Example AAR - https://goonfleet.co...s-2015-edition/
- There are a lot of rules to S-Mart so just read this thread- Includes posting rules, as well as how to get a sticky in the thread, and get custom titles for yourself and others: https://goonfleet.co...-custom-titles/
- LOL JK
- Number 1 Rule: NEVER NOT POST. If you stop posting, we die irl.
- NWS RULES- If you're the OP of a thread and you want to post something NWS - Tag it in the title. If you want to post something NWS and you're replying to a thread, DO NOT EMBED IT - link it and tag it as NWS by doing
in front and behind the link. DO NOT POST HOMEGROWN AT ANY TIME ANYWHERE ON GOONFLEET.COM - Spelling and grammar - We're not 12 year old girls on cell phones. Take the time to use your shift key, and spell words completely. "u kno what im talking about an if u dont ur gonna get b& neway lolololololol rofl" - Do not do this, thanks in advance. Foreigner Exception: I realize that English may not be everyone's primary language, but please attempt to do your best when trying to communicate for those of us that it is.
- Memes - They aren't funny. Come up with something original and leave the memes and garbage image macros on 4chan and reddit
- Spend time lurking and observing the good posters and good trolls at work. What makes these posts effective? What makes the trolls effective? The tone and voice of the poster are worth paying attention to as well.
- Recognize the posting conventions and styles on Goonfleet.com There's a bunch of memes and posting gimmicks on Goonfleet dot Com and its a good idea to familiarize yourself with them (I used one in this sentence.)
- If you can't burn somebody in two sentences or less, don't do it at all. Typing out four paragraphs about why (guy) is a mongoloid lacking in social graces basically makes you look like a mouthbreathing CAOD publord furiously slamming his ham-like paws against his keyboard is a sweaty rage.
- If you are going to burn someone, be novel and funny. The forums are basically a gladiatorial arena and the spectators enjoy some artistry from the performers(that's you.) If you float in and drop an amusing zinger the audience is probably going to appreciate that more than some boring old insult.
- Don't get mad. This is kinda "how not to get trolled" because seriously a lot of you dudes are begging for it. If some Theta posts an offhand deprecatory comment about Sigma and fourteen of you mouthbreathers dogpile the thread with your terrible posts then, congratulations, you got baited. Don't do that.
- Know when to get out of a thread. You really don't need the last word all the time. Really.
- DON'T SAY SPAI OR NEWBRO
- Do Not Sign Your Posts We can see your name right there beside your post already
- Unlimited images
- Your entire signature should be no taller than 400px and no wider than 1000px
- Nothing particularly assaulting to the eye including but not limited to epileptic flashing signatures
- No NWS content, or something that would be considered inappropriate in a professional setting
