 -You want to inform the world of matters that are completely pointless. (E.g. "I am so drunk. Look at me type while I am drunk.")
 -You solely want to complain about the behaviour of forum participants or content. In doing so, you are only creating another pointless thread. If you have an issue with someone, please message him or her and resolve it there, contact a moderator, or report the posts in question for administrators/moderators review.
 -You have already posted the same question/comment in another forum. Do not double post!
