My advice would be that you can actually minimize sections that you do not read, therefore eliminating clutter on the side. | ||

Dont go on a post-hunt-frenzy because 1) your post count isnt your penis and 2) its impossible to catch up to the big guys anyway. If you cant find something even after searching for a long long time or when you want to open a topic but you dont know if its appropriate just ask a mod. I heard they are friendly and help a lot :3 | ||

You won't have any idea what the standards and customs are unless you read the site and watch the mistakes that others are making. Learn from their mistakes first  Browse through the closed threads section too. | ||

(and write some stuff for Liquipedia) edit: And don't write anything like "umad?" or something that makes you look stupid, a lot of people come here to get away from the rest of the internet. | ||

It has the potential to massively derail threads and can lead to your ban. This website is one of the most heavily moderated sites Ive ever come across. Its not really a good place to dispute anything because sooner or later words like "faggot" and "moron" starts getting thrown around and when people's feelings get hurt here, the offenders get swiftly dealt with. Part of the appeal of TL is that people with thin skins can feel comfortable here so keep that in mind. I disagree that you should never be the minority. There are times that you shouldn't express your opinion because it's unnecessary (SC2 in BW topics) or you're being a massive troll (posting crap in a fan club). However if in the proper place and with a good attitude, disagreements are key to good discussion. EDIT: Now that you've edited your post I realize you are trolling in one of the stupidest topics for you to be doing that in. | ||

Don't read the OP, then post your opinion on page 48 because it most likely was said on page 2.

This works, although I'd say maybe 5% of users actually read the entirety of an OP at the moment so having people read the whole thread is somewhat optimistic. | ||
