How to Stay On Topic w/o Staying On Topic (HOSOTWSOT)
This is a perfect way to stay on-topic when you are just dying to fill that thread up with spam. Follow these tips and you'll be getting away with spam in no time.
DOs:
1.) Start your post by giving someone a compliment.
Whether or not your post is total spam they won't care because of your wonderfully positive attitude. One compliment can really go a long way.
2.) Complain.
Even though complaints go in the Tavern Feedback/Complaints thread, the rest of the community finds it absolutely necessary to complain everywhere but that thread. It's even more effective if you complain about the mods. Then you will blend in perfectly. If you complain about mods, you can pretty much just post in a random thread with a random complaint about a mod and people will think it natural. You will probably even start long discussions about your random complaint.
3.) Recommend that the thread be moved, cleaned, awarded, or penalized, anything that requires a moderators action.
If you feel the need to do this often ramble on for a few more sentences making it look like some thought and effort was put into your post.
4.) Put horrible grammar and spelling errors in your posts.
People won't completely understand what you are trying to say and assume that you are trying to say something intelligent.
5.) Act cool.
Throw in a few lines making yourself look cool. Trash on other people who are spamming in the thread separating yourself from them. People will just assume that you aren't a spammer because of your "never spammed and never will cause your too cool" attitude.
6.) Make a sexual innuendo.
If you are a girl, most guys won't care what you posted cause they will be too turned on to complain. In fact, this place being male dominated, it would even be somewhat accepted in a semi-serious discussion.
DON'Ts:
1.) Post Gibberish.
I know this may seem obvious to some, but I still need to say this, because some people think it's funny. fjaskl;jasdlfjsadf;lsdajfl;djsa This gibberish is not funny, no matter what the context. Gibberish and Nike Slogan's don't go together. JUST DON'T DO IT!
2.) Insult People.
People don't like to be insulted. Yes, it's true. They just don't. It's one of those mysteries, like how peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth. Be weary of tossing people as well. Sometimes L-O-S-E-R-S will mistake tosses for insults.  Take for example that last part. I bet some people will probably mistake that for an insult, but it's just a toss.
3.) Formula Post.
This means do the same thing in your post everytime, whether it's talking about sports, Aculias stripping, or doing any DOs mentioned above too often. It is okay to use them, just don't over-do it. When people see someone making a very similar post everytime, they will think it is uncreative and boring. It is still a notch above spam, but it isn't going to get you very far. However if your posting is truly horrible and you think formula posting would actually be an improvement then feel free to use this as a way to improve your posting as well.

Oh yawnorama, - 'I am cul'
I thought when you were doing the bad speller thingy, you had to at least make it look something like the word should sound.
I blame RSF. I mean, I wouldn't have been subjected to the inferiority of the last few posts if it wasn't for him starting this thread. Why is he a Mod again?
And tavern is so not the place for this thread, Wastelands is too good for this thread. Val should start a new forum called 'The Crap that's too crappy for Wastelands!'
And this thread still would be too crappy for it!
Well I have to go, this skimpy pair of boxers is chafing my arse, I may have to take them off.
So long suckers, except RSF. Cos he sucks. Cos he's a Mod.

Oh who was the doofus that got us side-scrolling. I mean OMFGIHA, why why why?
Anyone with a shower of wit would be deleting this thread now.
And as for Lich agreeing with me? Woopeedoo!!! A Mod agrees with me. That has SO brightened up my evening.

I'd offer my comppliments to Lich_King and Asmodean, but I've seemed to have misplased them. You can have a Fake QP instead.
Quote:
Offtopic Bonus, Fake QP applied
I feel that Lich_King's and Asmodean's behavior deserves a Fake QP. So I gave one.
Nextt order of bisnes. Or is it chaos of bisnes? No mater. I think I found my compliments. I apologize to Lich_King and Asmodean for the inconvenience, and give them two compliments for each. And a compliment for RSF for making this thread, and another to him for being a good mod. And yetr another for being a good poster. And another for not being a noob. And another for not being a noob with a post count of 1-5 that floods the member list mad. And another for not being a -3 QPs or below poster.
Next order/chaos of bisnes. I'm cul.
