[Forum] How to gain respect
This is a tutorial for people who want to earn some repsect.

Tip 1: Read the rules and the FAQ before ever posting.

Yeah, everyone hates people who ask stupid questions, or post threads where they don't have to.

Tip 2: Post in a decent grammar.
If you're going to post make sure that the message is somehow understandable.
E.g.

hay, cn u halp me, whn eye upen tb it wird

^What the hell did he just say?

Hi, can anyone help me, when ever I open Toribash, some weird thing happens (...)

^You see the diference?

Tip 3: Do NOT EVER use smiles.
So... don't use smiles, it totally ruins a post.
Eg:

Let's spar!!!

^(obviously just some random noob trying to get attention)

Hi, anyone in the mood for a spar?

^Why, sure. /jo (blabla)

Tip 4: Don't act like you're the best.
So, lots of people lately have been acting like they're the king of toribash.
Eg:

Oh you won cause you're a lucky fuck! Now imma play for real! N00B!!!

^(*facepalm)

We all hate those, now, don't we?

Tip 5: Don't feed the troll.
Just DON'T. You'll end up wasting your time, and being badly known, for not just ignoring the beast.

Tip 6: Respect the moderators, and don't abuse your luck!
Seriously, being hated by any type of mods is one of the last things you'll want.
If they give you a chance, use it well, don't abuse it.

Tip 7: Be friendly, not an asshole.
It's kind of obvious, if you want respect, you need good friends to support you, and help you.

Tip 8: Postcount and Joindate mean nothing.
Join date only means you found out about toribash earlier, and post count... well... doesn't matter, just shows people how much you talk. Don't spam, to gain postcount, it's just going to annoy people.

Tip 9: Art forum is for CONSTRUCTIVE criticism!
Seriously don't just say you don't like it, try to be more constructive.
EG:

It sucks.

^User infracted for this post: Useless post.

It's nice, alright, but you should try, to make the colors more natural, and add some shading (...)

^Thanks, I'll try.

Thanks for reading my tips, and hopefuly, I'll make some more soon.

You should also add not to spam it up in their posts just for the post count.
Especially in the art board.
People should have more constructive criticism in their posts.
BAD LUCK

<evil> srsly people forgot that most part of toribash community is douchebags... lead by shin
@Umbre: I'll try to think of some more.
@Firebolty: Added.
@Werd and Shin: well, I'm not saying you shouldn't belive in that.
@Pal: No.
You might also want to change Tip 3.
The rule should be "Don't overuse smileys", not "Do NOT EVER use smileys" because that's a bit too strict, and a smiley can be necessary in a good occasion.
BAD LUCK
Your intentions may be good, but sadly this thread has many flaws.

Mainly, you shouldn't have the need gain respect if you use common sense. All of this tutorial is based on common sense. If a user does not already have common sense, they wont search for such threads in the tutorials board. If they do already have common sense, they wont need such threads.

Even if we had a board full of these tutorials, it wouldn't change how people behave.
