Basically, as long as you can survive your first 500 posts without trolling really badly you'll do all right onwards.
Are you able to complete one paragraph without making an absolute pillok of yourself? Then welcome to the escapist, friend.
Providing some point to your posts/threads in either an informal, humorous or personal tone (not one word responses basically). Not trolling, flaming or abusing others for any reason is a good one too.
Oh and completely irrelevant to the topic- 1 Year at the Escapist today. *pulls out disco ball and dances*

I think the ability to learn and adapt VERY quickly is required. When I first came to these forums, I confess, I was a troll of trolls. I was a twat, really, and tried to start a thread specifically for the purpose of flaming (I think I was trying to focus all the flaming in a single place or soemthing...), bad choise, and now I can never get Matrix badges 
still, I've learnt, and now I hope I'm contributing to this fine website in a mature and non-trollish way ^_^

Actually that's not really true. I've seen plenty of trolls here who have wayyyy more than 500 posts, for example, the Trinity (Eggo, Kukul, and Cheeze Pavillion when he's on the RP threads). Even the two Darths and Indigo_Dingo, I believe, ended up falling into that trap near the end. Generally, however, people with a lot of posts are more experienced with the mods and never run into any trouble, but occasionally you get some who think they're above the law because of their high post count. Really, quality on the forums is down to the person and whether or not they're mature and sensible enough to not make, or to learn from, their mistakes.NimbleJack3 said:
I didn't know you needed qualities or special attributes to contribute to a website... I mean, "don't be a troll" isn't really unheard-of advice.
Unless I'm grossly underestimating the IQ of the average Escapist user, that is.

Joking of course my good escapiens... anyway on topic: Don't say a word about Halo, Religion or use lolcat speak and you're a shoe in!
This. If you can restrain any dickish instincts enough to write a coherent and sensible paragraph on a given subject, you should be fine.Mr Companion said:
Also, a decent sense of humour, and the knowledge that internet insults don't matter never hurt anyone
happy... day! (Can't really say birthday!Inconsistancies Arise said:
)OP: a good grasp of the English Language helps. a lot.
and stay away from the highly-flammable topics.
Well, you need to be fireproof and non-arsonistic. You need to be able to know when you are out-classed (neonbob, Maxthereaper), how to make a spoiler, how to post pictures (especially of cookies). You need a strong stomach and an open-mind as well as the ability to think quickly and admit to being ninja'd in humble fashion.
