# well I get shouted at if there's more than one new thread on the board
you've currently got 4.
Just shove them as replies to your own pictures that's what I do if I'm being prolific like what you are :D

# Checklist:
[The FAQ is 8 pages long, so I think a short checklist of 12 rules would help everyone. How's this? --Bee Nice)

Golden rules (especially for n00bs):
1. Read the FAQ (and use this checklist as a refresher), or you'll get shouted at.
2. If you make a mistake, be ready to say "oops, sorry!": it really helps. Don't be cocky: it makes you look like a cock.

New threads are precious:
- /board only holds 15 threads: each click of "Post a new message" pushes other people's work off the bottom.
- Reply in an existing thread, if you can: it's less selfish.
3. Don't start a new thread unless your post is new and worth it.
4. Don't start a new thread with a re-post!
5. Don't start 2 threads on /board at once: if you want to post more, use Reply in your existing thread.

Images:
6. Only post stuff that you made.
7. Only post stuff that you uploaded (don't leach).
8. Don't post NSFW.
9. Not more than 100k (50k preferred). Anims: not more than 400k.
10. Not more than 700px wide.
- If it's too big, compress it until it's small enough.
- If it's still too big, or NSFW, post a link (<a href="blah">) not an image (<img src="blah">).

Cockups:
11. Never use Delete (it also removes everyone's replies!): use the Edit button instead.
12. If you started a new thread by accident, say sorry. (And don't delete it!).

NSFW:
Whatever you put in a message will be downloaded and seen by all b3ta readers, often on their work computer. You could get someone sacked on the spot, or put through a disciplinary investigation that's not much better, because their manager thought it looked a bit like porn from 10 feet away. Do not do it. (For the record all these are no defence: "it isn't actually porn", "you can't see his/her whatever", "you're such a prude", "but no-one complained about this one *points at some-other-image*").

# Being as there are only ever 15 threads on this page at a time
if you have a multitude of images to post it is considered polite to pop them all in the same thread or to edit an older thread to add the new ones ( unless the older one is dropping off the board itself ).

# cooly cool
It's been an age since I went all postal with posts so forgot a bit of the etiquette.
I'm almost out of hummus for the night so I wouldn't worry - but if I do finish any more I'll be a bit less eLoud about them. :)
