AF.org Pro Tips
As a long time member of this forum with a perfect track record I thought it'd be good to share my expertise with the newer members so they can have a better and easier time. Here are a few tips. Share some of your own too!

1. Copy and paste entire articles rather than simply posting a link to a page. Readers will appreciate not having to leave the page and you'll look more technologically savvy.

2. Insult and threaten theists when they post in the intro forum. This will let them know their place.

3. Give rep points only to people who give you rep points first.

4. Slander libertarianism all you want. Not one single member here will care.

5. The bigger your signature banner image the better. Bonus points if it's a gif.

6. Being a person on a web forum automatically gives you the insight and authority of a liscensed psychiatrist. Tell everyone what they should do with their lives.

7. Always first send a copy of something you're going to post to a mod for them to double check if it's ok. This way, you save then the hassle of deleting your post if it wasn't to the rules. Plus you'll get on the mods' good side and increase your chances of becoming a mod yourself.

8. If you disagree with someone, make a thread calling them out personally. This way they know you mean business.

9. Send a private thank you message to everyone who gives you a kudo each and everytime.

1. Repeatedly post/quote huge sections of text and/or gigantic pictures so forum users exercise their scrolling fingers. They'll thank you in a month when they reach the 'reply' button.

2. Post a controversial thread and then never respond to valid replies. This means that you can make more threads!

3. Use lots and lots of smileys! everyone wants to know how you're feeling all the time, and a squadron of smileys in each post is a surefire way to let them know.

The more times you post it, the better.

I find the best way to make your argument better is to use all caps, multiple font sizes and lots of colours. If they still aren't listening stop using paragraphs altogether and let it all merge into one crazy multicolour blob of glory.

Balls to that. Turn off auto correct and spell however you want to. People will respect your individuality.
