If you could warn a new member of the Escapist, what would the warning be about.
These can't be rules, it just has to be a general warning about the Escapist Forums.

For example: If you see a member named JoobNoob(or any variation on that), make sure you read the post carefully, and If it has to do with Halo, you should probably report them.

Most probably this.

Also, don't create any zombie apocalypse threads or religion threads.

I'd tell them not to take shit form any mother fucker, stick to their guns, argue their point, and blow the living mother fucking shit out of all that oppose them.

I'd also warn him to do so and politely as possible, otherwise he'll get banned.

Don't blantantly express your views on a game that you think is fail. Take time to explain why you dislike or hate the game rather then, "z0mg, C0ck 0f Dood!E 5 sux compaared to Call Of Win 5" or "Halo 3 be@t$ teh sh!t out of Fail-Life 2."

Do not post "how old are you?" threads.

There are hundreds of them. With polls.

Use proper spelling and grammar, don't use smiley faces all that often, and don't use "lols, roflz, or lmaoz" more then one time in a post. Only do it when you're just fucking around.
Oh and to tell them to use the search bar.

Don't be afraid to express your opinion, although be careful about liking Halo, disliking TF2 or HL2. Anime and JRPG's are 50-50. Also, be polite, don't quote Yahtzee.

Or how about just reading the rules?
