Rule #1: Do not post a thread like this
1. Don't say anything. 2. Don't do anything. 3. Don't post any threads. 4. Lurk. Alot. Then you'll be all good to go!
One of these threads
Lurk 3 months, observe what the more experienced users do, then start posting.
FP isn't a democracy
trying to learn how to post on fp is like trying to learn how to grow a vagina [editline]21st October 2010[/editline] not possible
Fight someone the first day or else you'll become someone's bitch.

Facepunch is pretty much like this [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3sNARLNu_Y[/media]
Spell correctly, don't be an idiot, don't post in a thread if you have nothing good to contribute, don't flame people, etc.
leave quickly

My suggestion: stay far away. You don't know what you're getting yourself into, leave while you still have a social life. We're like TVTropes, but instead of simply feeding on free time we feed on intelligence AND free time.
Rule 1: There are many trolls on Facepunch. You must do your best not to feed these trolls, and completely ignore them. Rule 2: Anime. Never talk about it outside specific threads in Fast Threads. If you decide to use an Anime avatar, remember that most (if not all) will disregard any sense-able post you make only to attack you for your strange liking to Anime. Rule 3: GMF. Don't ask what this is, or lies shall be told. Rule 4: Post in the right section. Don't start a thread about Gmod in the General Discussion area. There is a whole area dedicated to Garry's Mod below. Rule 5: SEARCH! Go to google, type "site:facepunch.com" then whatever you want to search for, without the quotes. You may come across some really old threads (months old). If the thread isn't a Megathread, then you may want to think for a moment before either bumping that thread or starting a new one. If you DO start a new one, please say that you DID search for the old thread and if you found it, tell us just how old it is. (Example: site:facepunch.com general games) Rule 6: When in doubt, don't post. Rule 7: Don't PM users that you will hack them because they rated you dumb. Rule 8: And above all, use common sense. Rule 34: There is Facepunch porn. Don't ask for it here. There is a thread dedicated to Rule 34 in Fast Threads. Edit: Adding to this... Rule 9: Join date means nothing.
You'll Figure It Out.
70% of facepunch users are 15 years old or younger, remember that when posting

[QUOTE=Sasasing;25550479]Says the guy with the anime avatar, just move along folks[/QUOTE] He's ight, I used to have an anime avatar and suddenly all your arguments become invalid and threads suddenly go to how gay anime avatars are.
