1. Don't follow the rules of posting. 2. Say an album is perfect and that there is no room for improvement, but rate it an 8. 3. Or say an album is decent and point out its faults, but rate it a 10. 4. Use big words as often as possible to make yourself sound smart, but spell them wrong and be sure to use them incorrectly. 5. Always make sure to over represent the genre you love the most, but secretly like Unearth. 6. Post the same thing in multiple threads. 7. When you buy an album, be sure to not only post in the "last album you've acquired" thread, but also make a post in the "last album you've listen to" thread and the appropriate band's thread. 8. Oh, and you must include a picture of it. 9. Or else no one will believe you. 10. You can never post the same thing too many times. 11. Be more brutal than a grandma doing porno. 12. In various threads such as the "Serious Discussion" thread, make your posts as long as possible. 13. The ideal length should be about the size of a short novel. 14. Only smart people make long posts. 15. When proving a point, always be sure to overemphasize certain words by making the letters all capitalized. 16.
