I need help. I'm new to the Escapist (as a user, I've been visting this site for a while), need some tips so I don't end up getting banned or worse.
I know, the username doesn't help either.

Use the searchbar, and don't put disclaimers on all your threads talking about how you used the search bar.

 

[Daft Sikes]

Thankin' ya kindly.

T-the basement..? Should I be worried?

 

[CloggedDonkey]

Be nice, get a friend in high places, and some in low, don't taunt the mods, don't steal my avatar (bad things happen to people who steal my avatar), and just generally don't be a fail.

And welcome, may your stay here be prosperous!

Wait...how do I quote and stuff?

There's a quote button at the bottom of each post.

 

[CloggedDonkey]

Damn you Ninjas! Damn you to hell!

 

[CoverYourHead]

Wait...how do I quote and stuff?

In the bottom right of each post are two boxes, one says "Reply" and one says "Quote", clicking quote quotes someone automatically for you in the bottom and you can respond as you wish.

As long as you don't go down there, you should be fine. Truth be told, we don't actually know what's down there. We all have theories. Mine is that the souls of the banned are down there waiting for someone to make the mistake of fixing the stairs so they can escape and take over the internet (yes I put more thought into that than I should have)

Stay out of the basement.

/best advice you will get about the site.

And if you do, don't annoy the basement cat.

/second best advice you will get if you ignore the first.

 

[Soulgaunt]

Become one with the fluffy scorpion, and all will be known.

Actual advice: Think before you post, if you think it might piss off the mods, then don't do it, and try to be social.

See that button next to my comment? Next to reply? That's the one.

Anyway, Welcome aboard, stay out of the basement and follow these rules:

-Don't flame.

-Be Respectful.

-Don't be an Asshat.

-Read the rules.

-Have fun (Or else)

-Don't talk about the fight club.

-If you feel you've been mistreated by a moderator, take it up with the mods, don't simply whine about it on the forums.

-Feel free to ask any questions, specficaly to the older user's, most are happy to help.

-Ask Furburt about Russian Step danceing, Tell him Sir Kemper sent you.

I'd also read this thread, to see how to do some of the more fun things with your posts. (Using BBcode)

Simply obey the rules, avoid flaming people, and generally don't be a jackass and you'll survive banhammer free.

Based on the title I'm guessing you killed a hooker? Hide him/her (I don't know which way you swing) in the trunk of your vehicle. If you don't have a vehicle then what the fuck are you doing with a hooker? Nevermind that, PM me so I can tell you what steps you need to take to dispose of the body. Oh and try not to kill any more hookers.

Welcome to the Escapist and really. Refrain from killing any more hookers.

Also, Religion and Politics if that isn't what he meant. That'll get you banned quick smart. Yeah, press quote instead of reply, and this helped me out a lot.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCode
It lists pretty much all the code you can use on here, if in doubt quote somebody and it will all show up. Don't start any of the following threads:
Most underrated games
Most underrated bands
Favourite weapon
PS3 Vs Xbox (or any others Vs thread)
Avoid doing any of that, and you are my friend, good sir. Welcome to the Escapist.

Thank ya sir.
