COMICS
-Just because something happens to you a lot and makes you rage, don't title your comic "Every fucking time" or "This always happens." BE CREATIVE.
-Also, don't put "does this happen to anyone else?" or "Surely I can't be the ONLY one this happens to?" in/as the title. Yeah, you're the ONLY PERSON that's happened to, nobody else has had any experience like it. Again, be creative.
-If you "fix" a comic, DON'T CREATE AN ENTIRELY NEW THREAD FOR ITS EXISTENCE. Post it as a comment in the original that you "fixed." It's respectful to the OP and nobody wants to see the same crap posted all over. The exception to this rule is if the comic is taken in an entirely new direction and uses maybe only one of the same panels.
-If you DO "fix" a comic, take it an new direction. Don't just change one or two panels. Changing a rage face to the "Okay" face doesn't make your comic better, or different for that matter.
-When someone creates a popular new face, don't jump on the Meme Frenzy Express and post a shitty comic with it. Yes, your comic is shitty, because nobody comes up with good comics in a few minutes with a face they just saw.
-Keep it simple. Comics should be kept to maybe eight or ten panels, max, unless you can make it work. I don't want your fucking life story.
-Similarly, don't put so much text in comics. A sentence or two, possible three, is acceptable in each panel.
-On the other end, one panel comics are usually pretty lame. Put some effort into it. Don't post a face with a couple word. Example: don't post the rage face of the guy with his teeth clenched to his lips and head back and post the words, in giant red text, "wet willy"
-Don't put le in front of fucking EVERYTHING. It le makes trying to le read and le understand le everything fucking le impossible and makes le you sound like a le dumbass. Le.
-Stop using herp and derp to refer to anything and everything. I think it's fine if you're using it to give text to someone stupid, but I honestly don't think it's necessary to actually substitute words for herp and derp to make your comic funnier. Just to make it clear, this is what I mean: : I like Justin Bieber herp derp. : I'm going to the Herpmart to derp a herp derp and speak with Herp Derpson. (submitted by Brofist)
-Last, but most importantly, don't post shitty comics. Think about it, check it over before you submit. Try not to repost.
COMMENTING
-As mentioned in the above section, don't post just "every fucking time" or "you have no idea." If I made the comic, of course I have a fucking idea of what I'm raging about.
-This goes for threads in every section, but don't simply post saying that you agree with someone or that the comic/post is funny. "This." This what is what and makes me feel how?
-Don't post a link to something completely unrelated. You know what, even if it is related, don't post it, especially if it's a video; you know what I'm talking about -- "Related (with hyperlink). Make up your own shit.
-Read the comments before posting, don't post the exact same fucking thing someone else did at the top of the page.
-Don't post a face only. Put some text in, even if it's hidden/rollover text. Oh a picture of a pickle? What the FUCK does that have to do with my comment on how the public school systems are failing?
-Don't be a douche. "Shut up," "This comic sucks" and "[insert racist comment] are innapropriate. OK, even I'm guilty of that second one, but don't do it.
Anyone have anything else to add?
