I HEREBY SIGN THE FOLLOWING TOS AGREEMENT:
A guide to our very own Spam Forums
What is Spam Forums (Ma/b/inogi)?
The Spam Forums, mysteriously renamed as Ma/b/inogi, is the very same forums that you would find in Mabiguru. This particular section includes posting of worthless news that no one cares about, stupid fads, crazes, memes, retarded crap you found in the toilet, people running around in circles, 2012, NASA's conspiracy on the lunar landing, anime, weeaboo people, touhou, 2hoes, Team Fortress, Team Fortress 2, Team Fortress FOREVER, weird GIF images, weird images, lolcatz, Mabinogi, Non-mabinogi crap, weird stuffs you dreamt about last night, what you ate for dinner, discussion on ice cream flavors, fat people, American people, Asian people, European people, Aussies, the M18 Aussie ban on games that makes L4D2 players rage, how crappy the STEAM forums are, L4D2 DLC, The Passing... Of gas, Weird random MS Paint sketches, How crappy Itchy is at trollin' us, keion, gayon, Pikablu's icon, Adminstrators, Admin abuse, Trollin' Fal, about how pedobear kidnapped saff, Monster Hunter Tri on PS3, Pokemon, Poek a mon, crap, weird crap, very weird crap, very very weird crap, how I draw stupid stuffs that worths no one's time or about the cat, which was recently found captured in a ASPCA cage. Whatever it is, keep your topics fresh, interesting, and watch on the RULES (!!!)
Trust me, with all these spams, the rules will be easily, accidently overlooked. You might not want to do something like that.
Basically, this is the place where your ideas comes to life. Work hard on your imagination, cause you'll need it. Fear not to push the limits on the rules, but watch for the grey areas. Getting banned here ain't worth it, so watch what you're postin'.
So why am I asked to view this thread first?
Alright, you might want to read this first before moving on and spamming the living crap out of this forums. The spam forums naturally has it's very own secret rules and regulations that you might want to limit yourself to before making yourself look like an idiot. Pretty much like everywhere else, other than the rule on spamming, the spam forums are bounded by ALL the other rules that came with the site. Flaming members, posting overly suggestive images and bare views of unclothed bodies (Images of bare breasts with nipples showing, the underparts of a girl/ guy stuffs like that are naturally not allowed on most forums.), or racism will naturally not be tolerated on all sections. However, spamming is not, that doesn't means you go about making a hundred threads about the same topic.
Naturally, your thread in the spam forums is your child. And like all parents, make up your mind if you would want to support this spoilt brat. If you don't, I would recommend that prevention and protection is definetly better than unsafe sex. The more interesting your thread is, the more replies you'll naturally get. One should always watch over their threads AND contribute to others because posts comes both ways. Unless you're leaving your thread to die, you should check back every 15 minutes for new replies.
Basically, watch out for threads that you might want to post in. If the thread is far too offensive to you, ignore it. It isn't worth your effort to post in something that pisses you off, so don't keep those threads active if you don't support it's views.
I wanna be the best, how do I do that here?
Be active
Refresh (F5) is your best friend in this section. Seeing how members would reply randomly from time to time, you should always be ready to send replies as soon as possible. Not only that would boost your thread INSTANTLY to the top, it basically keeps the thread fresh. No one likes a necropost, so you might want to watch the date where someone last replied in a thread.
Watch your replies in the threads, make sure you're always on topic. Even if you DO go off topic, make sure that lasts only for a maximum of a few posts. (Made by you, of course) Theres no point posting if you're spoiling the thread for the original poster, so don't post unless you know what they're trying to discribe. And if you don't... Well, askin' ain't hurtin' anyone. Ya hear me?
They be trollin', glad I ain't ragin'
That's right. Trolling.
In a particular section where it's hard to keep track of posts, reports and spams would be really hard to moderate. You can do your part by reporting trolling posts made by frequent rule breakers. (E.g. Someone trying to troll someone elses race or religion) Do note though, not all trolling attempts can be reported with effect. These types of trolling mostly includes gaming information, about how huge someone's e-penor can be, your in-forum habits, how bad you are at something (When you're obviously not.), popularity attacks, about how you like something or such.
Failing to watch out for those trolls will:
Make them dance in glee
Make you rage and cry
Make you look like an idiot
Turn you into a source of entertainment for the forums
Laughing stock, anyone?
However, there are people who WANTS to get trolled, HARD. Those people are not machoists, but idiots who are bored out of their tiny minds. Fear not to grab some laughs as they make a fool out of themselves, but make sure that you don't land into their traps and get trolled instead.
WRY SO SRS???
"Frumz ain' nu srsbzn", as stated from the previous quote, nothing here in the spam forums should be taken seriously. Whatever hate, anger or trolling you might gather here in the spam forums should remain in the spam forums. Dragging it outside of the spam forums would make you look like an idiot. Besides, no one likes a loldrama outside of these sections and you might get banned. Seriousness in this particular section should be kept on the minimum unless requested. One can request for a serious thread by including "This thread is a serious discussion" or such at the bottom OR beginning of the thread to improve it's effectiveness.
You should remember the rules no matter how random the spam forums can get. Stay safe and don't get banned for something as silly as posting about here.
Play along nicely
You see dem roleplayers in our very own forums, what do you do? That's right. If you can't beat them, join them. Roleplay as your own original character, roleplay as someone from touhou (Ze?), roleplay as an eroge character in a hentai scene (No, don't do it!), push your imagination to your limit, start imaginary fights, forge imaginary alliances, take over part of the imaginary forums, create your own imaginary nation, write your own imaginary past and push towards the imaginary future.
Your life would be way more awesome without being so very serious on the spam forums, so pick up a roleplaying character to roleplay as if you need it.
And trust me, you'll need one very soon if you would like to stay here for a long, long time.
Information is wealth
Like as the title says, the more information and topics you can talk about, the less people would like to push against posts. Having more information and images in your image hosting account would improve your threads drastically. A simple thread like "I have candy!" can be easily supported with an image of a person with candy. Threads with images are awesome threads, but remember to keep the images relevant to the thread topic. Watch out on the limit you post your pictures too.
Post moderately but do not push too much on the images. Posting too much images will not only eat up your account's bandwidth on the image hosting site, it would reduce the amount of NEW and FRESH images you'll be able to post in the oncoming future. You might want to limit to a maximum of 5 images per post, this does not include emoticons and avatars, though.
Watch your behaviour, young man/ woman!
This section speaks for itself. Even though no ones taking you seriously, that doesn't means you can go about being a bear with a sore-head in the early morning. Watch how you type, and learn to respect others.
It's simple. If you don't think the other party would like what you've just typed then don't post it.
+Rep plz
You might not know this, or maybe you DO know this, but people loves a good reputation boost from time to time. It's a boasting factor in most forums, the amount of reputation someone gets can directly be proportionate to their in-forum e-penor. But does this means you should not give out reputations?
No. This just means that you should give it out wisely.
From time to time, people would be asking for reputation. If you find a thread or post that deserves your reputation then don't hesitate. Give freely, as reputation is like a boomerang, it goes both ways.
What? Are you going to give out reputations now? Well, STOP! It's not recommended to give out reputations without notifying the person you're giving to. Firstly, it shows you as a very generous individual. Secondly, it allows the person who had recieved your reputation to GIVE you back the reputation you gave them. (That is, if they want to.) If there's reputations out there for grabs, why not call dibs on it?
If that's so, then how do you get reputation for yourself? You can start by showing off your natural skills, like playing music, drawing, precision gaming (Like Touhou on Hell mode) or other stuffs that would naturally impress people easily. Of course, you could add "+rep plz" at the back of it all... But I'll tell you that it isn't really effective in the long run.
Now, go out there and earn some rep!
Now that you've gotten the basics...
To summarize the entire thread short:
Watch the rules
Treat everything with minimal seriousness unless requested to
Refresh Frequently
Keep your threads alive unless you want them dead
Think of a good OP topic, or a good contribution to make a reply to
Watch out for trolls
Images, use them to your leisure, but watch the limit
Roleplaying is optional, but important
Information is wealth
Reputation
It isn't really that hard. If you would or could just remember all of the following points above, you should have a pretty relaxing time in the Spam Forums.
Oh, and before you go, I would personally want to-- /Communication line shorts out

Dear Falsetto,
In agreement with the terms and conditions of the Spam Forums (Ma/b/inogi), I, Mr/Mrs/Dr/Mdm/Prof. _____Jahrakal_______, will watch my behaviour on the forums with notice from the Rules and Regulations stated on when I've signed up (Namely, the forum's TOS). I agree with the terms stated that everything in this forums will stay in this forums and nothing will be brought out of these forums without authorization.
Whatever that I've stated in these forums will remain here, including my behaviour and various images that I'm going to ruin your forums so badly and eat up so much bandwidth, you wish this section never ever existed in the first place. I will make multiple posts if I had to, or even multiple threads that will eventually break the forums. However, I will make sure that all these stuffs will remain only in these forums and not out of it.
Last but not least, I'll sign this form in agreement that I've read every single points and advices given to me from the above thread. If anything is done wrong, please refer me to this thread again as I'll be forced to read everything (Including the horrible grammar and spelling) for all eternity till it's burnt into my very soul.
Yours truely,
Mr/Ms/Mrs/Dr/Mdm/Prof. _____Jahrakal______
