Hello. My friend has been wondering why he always receives downfrags.
Here is quick guide containing some of the dos/donts.

[u]First, the basic thing to remember is its all about playing to your audience while at the same time being helpful and not wasting effort on pointless BS.[/u]
[list]
[*] Remember to never bump an old thread.
[*] Before making your own thread to ask about hardware/settings/software issues, click on the threads tab and do a quick search to see if your question has already been answered. Enter 1 or 2 keywords and if you dont find anything on the first try, go ahead and make that thread homie.
[*] Never act like youre smarter than everyone else, we are all useless gamers and dont have the very inteligente.
[*] Always try to help out people when you can!! Whether tech questions or sometimes real life stuff, they usually need it if they are posting here.
[*] Be able to understand and interpret contemporary vernacular such as "wtf is this shit" or "bored af" or "nice c0ck fellow dude".
[*] Remember, every single person spending time on TFTV definitely has your best interests in mind and they are all good people. Be respectful and reserved.
[*] Calling out your mates and starting drama is always a must do, but try to make it so that others will get the joke too, the goal is to not alienate people and if you havent realized this already you are definitely part of a minority.
[*] Always be able to converse about og competitive players/teams/names but never give out more information than you receive. Try writing a single name or sentence that can be interpreted ambiguously.
[*] Froyotech is the best unless they are not in which case it is Witness gaming or mge mike or showstopper or clockwork or kaidus or
[*] that doesnt matter
[*] Be able to use the built in HTML markdown BUT DO NOT OVERUSE IT, it makes you're thread confusing
[*]
[*] Never talk about anime, but always be able to understand anime refere[b]nce[b][b]s[/b].[/b][/b]
[*] [i]Never talk about politics, but always be able to understand political references even if its not your country[/i]
[*] Being redundant is usually a pointless and trivial.
[*] If a high level or well known player comments on your thread or in relation to your own comment, you win
[*] If you get [b]extine[/b] or [b]MR_SLIN[/b] in your thread, you win
[*] If you get rahmed in your thread, you might win, kind of up in the air at that point
[*] If you get aimisadick, you win
[*] If people start fighting, you lose
[*] Unless it's funny, then you win
[*] Always use good grammar or spelling
[*] Writing profanity is fine, but censoring yourself also makes you look wholesome. [*} Never read your own post, your wrote it perfect the first time
[*] [b]Never[/b] edit your posts after posting them. This demonstrates beta mentality.
[*] Always edit your posts if you mess up, people hate a badly written post.
[*] Why should you care how other people think of you?
[*] If you receive downfrags, ignore them. They don't matter but you should definitely try to figure out who it was so you can downfrag them in return.
[/list].
[b]Remember to have fun![/b] The internet is a cool place where people sometimes have your best interests in mind! And if you screw up, expect to banned, shunned, ridiculed and/or chastised until you fix your shit.

With that said, here are some of the best posts that follow the guidelines:
