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*').
