KetBra

If you're using the internet, chances are part of your daily 'net experience involves forums or social tools like Myspace or FaceBook. This article intends to help you gain more respect in communities such as those, hopefully improving your overall experience. While you may not care to be accepted in every single community, at least be a positive contributor to those communities.

Hi how do you generate respect on internet forums?

If you become an admin who is capable of banning people's accounts, don't go around banning everyone who gets on your nerves. You will become hated by just about everyone.

respect isn't given, it's taken

The Internet is supposed to be fun. If you're not enjoying yourself, you can leave the forum forever and never look back.

How come no one ever fuckin told me

For the last twenty years my general rule was to never talk about politics, religion, or sex on the internet.

However, anyone who considers themselves a Christian and is still a Trump supporter is going to Hell, and sex is fun and get over your damn hang-ups.

I was just going to post this!

pistols at dawn?

Bizazedo

Does it address that the fact that if I'm a Hero on one forum, that may automatically make me a Villain on another forum?

The duality of existence.

Because you can't leave because of that bog witch's curse.

People who post on internet forums do not deserve respect, only scorn and disdain for the terrible choices that have led them to participate in such a base and mean activity.

The less swear words you use, the better. If you feel you have to use such words, try to use something like "expletive deleted". It may be awkward, but at least it shows you have some respect for the forum.

The fuck's this shit?

if someone wrote "expletive deleted" instead of a swear I would immediately throw them in the memory hole

tynic

Expletive yeah.

Lars

Expletive fucking deleted.

Upon further reflection there are two internet posters who I respect:

1) Bizarro Stormy
2) That guy on reddit who ate way too many edibles before dinner with his in-laws.

Since this is the only forum I still have an account at, and anime is banned here, my ability to follow anime dropped off a cliff for like the last decade.

Last weekend I found out they've made three different Lupin III series since I was last paying attention. The 70s Lupin anime got me to read the original Arsene Lupin stories by Maurice Leblanc (translated, since I can't read much french).

NOT. EVEN. ONCE. LARS.
