[b]Forum Personalities[/b]

[b]The Severe Poster[/b]
This post will post anything, at anytime. Most times the posts he makes contribute very little to the thread. This person equates a lot posts with accomplishment.

[b]Grammar Police[/b]
Every forum has one of these. They will not only go to great lengths to correct simple misspelled words, but will also try and correct l33t as well. They will venture into the realm of grammar as well. This forum poster is usually dismissed by the forum community as someone with nothing more to contribute than their good spelling.

[b]The Big Head[/b]
This poster knows more about the game than you. This poster knows more about you than you at times. Everything in the game is easy to this poster. They tend to have short, one sentence posts which basically boil down to you being a noob and them not being a noob.

[b]The Complainer[/b]
Nothing is good enough for this forum poster. The game is either too hard/too easy for them. Most aspects of the game need massive amount of work in order to live up to their standards. They will complain about people in the game, game mechanics, gameplay, and anything else they can get their hands on. Meh is their reply to any sensible post.

[b]The Arguer[/b]
This forum dweller lives for an argument. They have a snappy comeback for anything that may not be 100% correct. They do not have the ability to understand generalizations, only specifics.

[b]Idiot[/b]
These types tend to either be very young, very unintelligent, or do not speak the language native to the forum in question. They utilize a lot of l33t, seldom use punctuation, and are huge fans of the ‘Wall of Text’ method of posting. Mostly ignored, they tend to continue their posting and pay little mind to those to try to correct them.

[b]The Creator[/b]
This person will actually go out of his/her way to make something original or funny for general forum consumption. These are the type of forum posters that created orly owls. This poster can be mean if their work is met with little appreciation.

[b]The Supervisor[/b]
This poster believes he/she is an unofficial moderator. They will tell people to calm down, not argue, don’t violate forum rules etc. This person tends to treat the forums like a job, because most likely, they do not have a job in real life. They take their forum time very seriously, and won’t tolerate anyone messing it up.

[b]Bipolar Poster[/b]
This is the kind of poster that you can never be friends with. One minutre they are cool with you, the next they aren't.

[b]The ThreadJacker[/b]
This person lives for taking a thread off subject. They especially enjoy derailing a serious topic. Some more popular methods of derailment are the posting of lols, ..., 1234567, meh, etc.

[b]The Wall[/b]
This type of poster has always done something more or better than you. If you have a Masters in Phychiology, they have a PhD. This is the hardest poster to get along with, they are like talking to a wall.

[b]The Troll[/b]
This is the poster that will post anything to get attention. They will post senseless threads about TV shows that just started 10 minutes ago or about going to sleep.

[b]The Idol[/b]
This is the type of poster that everyone sucks up too. Even is the idol doesn't have a good personality, somehow every will suck up to them and expect you to too.

[b]The Groupie[/b]
This poster usually usually clinches to forum groups or important people. The groupie feels the need to be protected by the companionship of players or forum groups. Usually if you insult a groupie, he/she will use everything is his/her power to bring their friends into the conflict.

[b]The Insulter[/b]
The insulter is a poster who has a little amount of friends. If any firends, they will usually be idols or someone somehow important in the forum. This poster will most likely insult another poster for no reason. Although the insulters do alot of insulting, they rarely recieve infractions.

[b]Average Joe[/b]
The average joe is exactly average. Sometimes combined on two or more personalities, the average joe usually spends his/her time posting regularly and not doing any more than that. Sometimes joining important debates and sometime spaming, usually the average joe is the easiest poster to get along with.

[b]The Compensator[/b]
This poster usually feels that he/she must brag about mostly fictional things. They usually have real life issues and feel the need to brag about themselves in some fictional way. The compensator is know to make comments about sexual things or about their ability in sports or education.

[b]The Body Guard[/b]
The body guard is one of the most atrocious posters. They feel the need to defend a poster against the insulters. The body guard will usually make just as bad comments to the insulter as the insulter would make. Although they can sometimes be irritating, the body guard adds balance to the forums and sometimes can help you in a situation. Some body guards may also be called suck-ups or groupies too.

[b]The Lurker[/b]
The Lurker is if not the most, one of the most mysterious of the posters. He/she will rarely post but instead, read almost every post in the forum. They usually know a lot about the posters and can sometimes be dangerous. Every once in a while the lurker will feel a need to make maybe one to two post on a subject and then run to hide in the amist. It is recommended to stay away from lurkers.

[b]Guide To Surving the Forum[/b]

Ok, before you can even enter the forum, you need to be directly prepared for war, if it is to come. And believe me, a forum is always ticking for the next war. In most cases, the flame war. So, how do you prepare? Read closely, and you'll learn all you need. First up, strategy.

[b]Strategy[/b]

It is important to keep the initiative. Your enemy flamer will try to return the remarks to scare you away. You must move relentlessly flame back, while never losing the thread. Most flame wars will start over two different groups believing that they are right and the other is wrong. Try to come up with a good case of why you are right and provide some evidence. But can you assume that everyone on the net is just waiting for your next literary masterpiece? Do you know the mood of the other groups? Are they even interested? If you misjudge this, then you risk humiliating yourself before a large audience. Always, use silence as a strategy. Never underestimate the power of silence. Being ignored will spur the temper of the most controlled flamer. You might want to think about a few cases to use silence. Never respond to simple abuse, it only encourages them. Never respond immediately. But be careful, if you are silent too long opponent might take advantage over that. And never get too deep in a flame. Next we will move on to skills.

[b]Skills[/b]

Patronizing is a good way to piss off the enemy flamer. Use unnecessary adeverbs and adjectives. One of the fascinating aspects of flame wars is how quickly the truth is left behind. If your back is against the wall, you will be tempted to make things up. It's important to make your lies sound true. The rule is, if you are caught in a lie, lie your way out of it. Mostly, you wouldn't want to dig yourself deeper, but in flame wars, it's win or go home and never come back. If you really want to win a flame war, use sarcasm. But do not expect to be friends afterward. Sarcasm is the verbal demonstration of contempt. Once released, there is no reverse. And there is quoting, a lot of times a person will say stupid things and forget about them, or they may just edit their post. They will do this when they notice a flaw in their flame. So quote and use, simple as that. Flame warfare is psychological warfare. It is important to understand the enemy, the innocent bystander, the effect of your weapons and your own motives. There is a thin line between protecting your reputation and egomania; know where that line is. The last thing you need to know, is to always get the last word or well, post. Now you're reading for a flame war if it is to come.
