This is a guide for newer posters so they can learn some unwritten guidelines for posting

Every user only has X amount of posts they can make. Once you go over you die in real life.

Fuck you say?
Ending your post with a full stop makes you boring and serious. Goes for most punctuation, really.


Write posts without it to become a cool guy with fun posts and possibly signal your lethal levels of irony poisoning

always show your posting allegiance in every post, remember to use a good signature card with all your stats, and never, Ever forget to snipe any and all threads regardless of topic

There's a secret key phrase that rotates weekly

If you post it, you become a mod, whether you like it or not

This week's phrase is still a secret

In 2011 a secret law was passed that forbids the government from reading our posts after a couple of high ranking officials in the NSA were caught posting on ADTRW.

This is true. This is why there's so many people posting from jail. It's gotta be at east half of all posters by this point.

The FBI tried to classify us as a gang. :(

People are never actually banned according to the forum laws, the mods roll some dice and kill accounts according the losses on a tactical boardgame.

If you can steal the mod dice you're technically unbannable, and they're worth a lot on ebay for some reason.

the easiest way to pick up where you left off is to put each poster on your ignore list after reading their post. that way when you come back to a thread you can just scroll past all the ignored stuff and get right to the new stuff.
