Alright fags, it's come to Anonymous' attention that the majority of you do not know how to post on 4chan. In times past, people would lurk, learn, then post in the proper manner. Apparently, though, most of you have not bothered to do this, and you wonder why your threads have a tendency to get saged to hell and back. Well wonder no more, fags, because Anonymous has decided that some direct training is necessary to keep the imageboards quality up.

Let's start with the basics, posting threads and replies. There are a few good reasons to post a thread, such as if you have new content, wish to start a themed or unthemed image thread, or if you want to post some rapidshares. If you have new content, make sure the images are good quality and size, because no one cares about new content if it can't be seen or read. When posting, you can either say "Hey guys I found this and thought I'd share it with you," or you can start a thread based around the theme of the content, or you can simply not say anything. If you are going to make a themed thread you need to adhere to the rules stated in the next paragraph.

Now, this is pretty much the entire reason I'm making this post: Themed threads. Any thread calling for images of a specific nature qualify as a themed thread. HOWEVER, far too often these threads start their lives as /r/'s outside of /r/. Posting these are grounds for being banned for a pretty long time. So, you might be wondering, how does one avoid posting /r/'s? It's actually easier than you might think.

1. Make sure you are posting it on the right imageboard, first of all. This alone is grounds for thread deletion and sometimes banning.
2. Make sure you post MULTIPLE PICTURES pertaining to your topic. THIS CANNOT BE STRESSED ENOUGH. JUST DO IT.
3. Make sure you have high quality images. Nothing thumbnail sized or barely larger. In fact, avoid ever posting these.
4. Make sure the images you are posting are on the topic of what images you would like to be posted.

These rules are pretty simple to follow, but just to make sure that they are understood, here are some examples of what IS a /r/ and what is NOT a /r/.

- Posting a thread with one picture about curvy women and saying "Let's start a curvy women thread!" IS a /r/
- Posting a thread with 5 pictures of women in swimsuits and saying "Let's start a thread about girls on bikes! Sorry but I don't have any myself" IS a /r/
- Posting a thread with one picture of a woman in a swimsuit and saying nothing is NOT a /r/
- Posting a thread with one picture of a woman in a swimsuit and saying "Thought you might like this" is NOT an /r/, but it still craps up the board so avoid doing it
- Posting a thread with two pictures of women at the beach and saying "I'd surf their up if you know what I mean" is NOT an /r/ but it's still a fairly crappy post so avoid doing it.
- Posting a full thread with high quality pictures of women in nurse outfits and saying "Nurse thread GO!" is NOT an /r/. In fact, it is excellent. Do threads like this as often as you like.

Now some of you might say "But Anonymous, I don't HAVE more than one picture on the subject that I want!" Well to you I say LURK MORE. Not only are you more likely than not a liar, but you're just plain lazy if that's you're excuse. We have four image boards that are undeniably dedicated to fapping material, two more boards that only real fags would argue are NOT for fapping material, a board where you can REQUEST fapping material, and every other board has fapping material posted anyway. You have NO EXCUSE for not having material that you want. If you need some, either lurk more or go to /r/.

Now lets talk about replying. For threads that you like, you might wish to reply for a variety of reasons. Bumping the thread back to the top, adding more material, asking for sauce, all are good reasons, but there ARE guidelines for these too. If you're posting to bump the thread, wait until the thread has at least left the first page, preferably until it has hit page three or four. Bumping something on the first page just decreases the amount of bumping replies it can get, and you're only hurting the thread by doing this. If you're adding more material, firstly, make sure the images are high quality, on topic and board appropiate, and secondly, do NOT do this for /r/'s outside of /r/. Fulfulling /r/'s just encourages the poster to do that more, and we do NOT want that. If you are asking for the sauce of something, there are a few things you should do first:
>> Anonymous
     File :-(, x)
1. Make sure the sauce has not already been posted in the thread by someone else. You are a retard if someone posts it and you later ask for it.
2. Make sure the picture itself doesn't have the sauce on it, or in the case of a series of pictures from a doujin or whatnot, that one of the pages doesn't have the sauce on it. You would look even dumber here.
3. Make sure the filenames do not contain the sauce. This is actually something most people miss.
4. Make sure someone else hasn't asked for the sauce already. Most of the time if someone else has asked and the thread isn't several pages back, you chiming in will NOT help. If the thread is a few pages behind it's ok to bump it asking for the sauce, but don't do that for front page threads.

For threads that you DON'T like, there are guidelines as well. First, how should you deal with a thread you don't like? The first thing you should do is check if the thread fits the board. If it does, the best course of action should be to hide or ignore the thread. For hiding threads, you need the 4chan firefox extension, which you can get from /r/ or from a quick google search. For threads that are not on the topic of the board, you can report them, sage them, or hide/ignore them. If it's a single off topic image post that no one is replying to, your best bet is ignoring/hiding it. If it's getting a lot of replies, you should sage -ONE TIME-, report the offending post, then hide the thread. You've done what you can, it's up to the mods from there. Sagebombing just encourages the offending poster more, possibly leading to more threads being made.

The last topic Anonymous wishes to hit on is saging and trolling. Although it saddens him to say it, many of you do not seem to know how to deal with these. The first thing here is to understand what saging is. It is simply replying to a thread without bumping it. It is not a mark of hatred or contempt for a thread necessarily. People sometimes sage when they thing their reply to a thread isn't worthy of bumping the thread back up. The point here is that if someone sages your thread, you should not immediately get defensive. Just ignore single sage replies if you don't like them. If someone is sage bombing your thread, however, you can report a few of the replies to get a mod to check your thread out, and they will deal with the culprit in the appropiate manner. For trolling, though, the absolute best possible course of action is to totally ignore them. Report the post, hide the thread, but DO NOT respond to anything they say. This encourages them like mad, and it will make the problem worse.

These are all the main topics that need to be addressed. If you remember how to make good threads and deal with assholes, you'll be another step in making the imageboards a great place for images and discussion. Good luck and happy fapping, Anonymous.

The "informative comments" refers to comments about a posted pic, such as a sauce or rapidshare link.

There is no amendment to the rules stating "If /r/ fails to fulfill your request take it to another board." If /r/ fails you can either try again or find it yourself. If those fail then tough shit.

I've posted shitloads of /r/ in /e/ following this rule.

BECAUSE I FOLLOWED THE FUCKING RULES.

Bumping because these are rules to learn and love.

Something OP Missed though:

-Saying "/r/ has failed me!" is a cheap and shitty way of avoiding /r/. No, /r/ did not fail you. You probably never checked.

Perhaps, but you have to be quite stupid if you believe that all the rules OP mentioned was just made up by himself right now. They've been there since the start of this site and they were made by m00t.
>>2.) Anonymous doesn't give a shit about your dissertation on correct posting procedures.
Perhaps you don't, but there are actually people who wish the best for this community, and they show some decency in their "posting procedures". Besides, if these "posting procedures" you use breaks any rules, you will get banned.
>>3.) Anonymous will always break the rules eventually.
Perhaps, but he will still get banned for it.
>>4.) In the words of WTsnacks, "You seem to forget what 4chan is. A free anime porn website."
Perhaps it is, but if you try to compare different hentai communities through the internets, you'll see that even though they fap to animu pr0n, people will have to follow some guidelines to make the community bearable. I don't 4chan is so bad of a community in these areas, but recently I've seen too many filthy dogs ruining it all.
