We know you're excited to be here, whether you can't wait to start shilling for your masters or to be first in line to witness the next great cultural offensive.
But you're new, and quite simply, you're shit. Take your time, learn to read threads and get a sense of the board narrative, and don't post until you can keep up. It's okay, we were all there once. We just knew to lurk moar.
only pussies lurk
I run the NSA fuck bat
Haha I too am oldfag. Haha yes no one should speak only you or I. Haha stupid goy.
What is everyone's duration of lurking before first post?
mine was 2 months (mostly out of fear of fucking up and posting a doxable pic by accident)
I really really really like this image
Yes haha I agree
Sticky this
Fuck off moron..
Yeah just parrot what the idiot who was here first said..
Thats a GREAT fucking idea!
Then we can all think the same thing
Bumping for newfags. Lurk for a year at least before posting. I came during the election, lurking did me well. Don't post if you don't know anything about what you're posting on. Our board is already low quality. Think before you post. Quality over quantity.
Fuck you and your mediocre value system of cowardice
I guess what you'd consider a newfag but could care less about the opinions of some anonymous user on this site telling me whether or not to post, whether or not to reply. I'll do what I please and if you don't like it, you can leave here
Lurk moar faggot
Hello newfriend, yes he meant you too. Such a precocious child...
did you change your twitter password so it isn't runner123?
Hahaha. It’s sad times when you see this being spread on /pol.
Am I missing a blade or am I missing a bean?
It's called learning board etiquette, if you went to facebook and started posting like you're on Jow Forums you'll also be met with hostility. We argue with ourselves all the time, there's just a different set of rules at play. Lurk moar, you'll figure it out.
Here we have a great example of why you should always lurk more. See if you can determine the quality of this post for yourself, always ask yourself:
>Am I actually contributing or shitposting?
>If I'm contributing, should I type out emoticons? Does that make me seem like I have a good point?
>if I'm shitposting, should I play the long game to truly masterful effect, or should I just call people a moron while not understanding what an ellipses looks like?
Study hard, those out there lurking.
Am I doing it right?
I lurked for years before posting. It helps if you spend more time lurking because you can see how things trend over time. Plus you’ll have a far better understanding of the humor and how people communicate on threads and why the memes are so great.
Pol has definitely changed even in the past year. Most faggots know it, and it’s become obvious that everyone including grandma is on here now. So obviously once normies come here, shariablue faggots and glow niggers will follow. Which is why this place has gone in the shitter.
It’s still worth coming for the happenings, and if you lurk enough you’ll sometimes get good info days or weeks or months before the regular media ever picks up on it.
Actually starting a thread is a pain now cus mods shut down most anything intelligent. They leave up the blacked big dick threads just to piss everyone off.
blade
I'm so predictable.
My sides. Op they’re not going to listen.
That was my first thought. How the mighty have fallen. It’s weird because it almost seems like it happened overnight.
Fuck off I'm a Jow Forums veteran. Been here all summer.
You're probably right but it took all of a minute to make the image and another one to type up a thread that maybe, just maybe, some folks will remember. It's very little effort and there's a better chance of things improving if even a few people give a shit than if no one tries.
Look at all this shills in thread.
(((They))) are investing a lot.
Go fuck yourself and m never tell me what to do again, ever.
I wish I could live through the abject horror and delight of the first time I lurked /b/ again.
I was already familiar with all the issues and topics discussed here which made blending in and contributing seamless. The memes and rhetoric were straightforward enough for a late 20s WM to comprehend. If there are new people or generic lurkers who have legitimate questions or ideas I don't see any problems with them having just as much authority to speak as decade long posters.
The true value of this place is the ability to be honest.
It’s dark but the beauty of this magnificent board is the autism. Without it we’re retarded with it we’re still slightly retarded? But we’re focused so yeah I don’t where I was going with this, I was going to type Avery inspirational speech about having autism yet as I was writing it I literally had to come to the conclusion that it wouldn’t be inspirational if I’m calling the person slightly less retarded. . . Sooooo yeah I’m going to leave. It’s real and out Jew the Jews.
Goodbye Faggot.
>speshul rules for my speshul internet clubhouse
The term you're looking for is weaponized autism
fuck you nigger. I lurked for the first en years of browing the 4chins, effortposted the next ten
Witness the great Australian Exception, lurkers. You see, years in prison has transformed each of their posts into a beautiful mix of contribution AND shitposting.
The two are oftentimes indistinguishable. By accident.
"Lurk more" is in the rules and has been site-wide board culture from day one.
Do not reply to any OP who asks you for information, your opinion, asks a one-line question or writing prompt, implies violence, or clearly didn't do any work for his post.
Eg:
Image: Normie forcememe, as spammed over Faceberg (say, the Henry Rollins Braaaaaains one).
Text: Hey you guys, react to this (or any variations thereof).
Your only reaction to such low-energy bait should be to hide and ignore, or to sage, hide and ignore.
Several times now journalists have come on here with screamingly obvious posts, then a few dats later published breaking news about the horrors they witnessed (and/or composed) at Jow Forums.
Always assume you are traced and your IP is logged.
lurk moar faggot
I can't tell if this is genuine oldfag nostalgia or the most subtle slide thread I've ever seen.
At this point there’s not much difference, but i tend towards the former
At first I hated Australians. Then I saw the most magnificent contributions from them, partly because the world is going to Hell. Many Aussies are informed about our Constitution, as a result of having had five or six mass shootings since banning guns. Like an online Animal Mother.

kill yourself newfag
love you too
Just admit it's because aussies are always hammered. Stop trying to convince us that you are sober.
six or eight months, user scared the fuck out of me.
>whether or not to reply. I'll do what I please and if you don't like it, you can leave here
>I don't see any problems with them having just as much authority to speak as decade long posters.
And that's why you need to lurkmoar faggot. All though know your meme and ED make it easy to fake it superficially.
Mostly...
That's why I'm bumpin it.
Three months but only because I was partially familiar with Jow Forums and Jow Forums board culture from seeing YouTubers talk about and browse both.
This. Been here since 2008 and lurking is very important if you want to better yourself as a human and not shill for someone else for 17 cents an hour.
lurk more faggot
>meme flag
>oldfag
Doesn’t check out
I’ll lurk into your fucking bedroom and rape you faggot
Cancer.
faggot
Having come back to regularly lurking Jow Forums after being on kikebook & TRS forum (which is down now lol), I still find myself looking for the upboat button like a fucking newfaggot.
Seriously appreciate that the only social proof on the chans is the (you)s, and that can be the equivalent of up or downvoats.
The biggest value of Jow Forums is still the user factor. Not sure flags are a good idea, especially meme flags, but thread IDs still provide some lulz with newfag shills.
I was 4 months in before I started posting. 2 months after THAT I started the meme that OP "culturally appropriated" for this thread pic.
Get in where you fit in.
IT'S
OKAY
TO BE
WHITE
pls bring puddin pops and mdma Dr Huxtable...
Yes the more days of your life you have wasted here the more superior you are! Definitely makes sense and your sense of superiority is a just one.
>understands flags
>doesn't understand IDs
Fuck you.
No tickets, no coat check, no 'closing time', no instruction manual. Thunderdome all day erryday.
Mostly true
>memeglags
Just stop
Why would she not have it tatoo'd correctly? Fkin roasties
