THE UNOFFICIAL RULES OF /jp/

[Anonymous No.]

Rule 1: Take it easy - We don't care about how inuyashasgirlfriend1997 made the most retarded weeaboo video in youtube and you "raged" for 26 minutes to it while killing your cat with your keyboard in the process. Or how some kid in Gaia plays Touhou and FS/N. We just take it easy, since we know the cause of most of these things are kids acting like kids (and if they aren't kids, we know they are just retards). This also means we don't want stupid drama.

Rule 2: Don't respond to trolls - If some guy posted something really stupid and provocative that made you angry and you want to kill him, don't respond to him. Don't even bother to tell him off while using sage; it's most likely a troll that just wants some replies. In /jp/, troll threads tend to be really easy to spot, so there's really no excuse for this. If too many people get baited, it will end up in a stupid 200 post long drama thread nobody wants to see in the first page.

Rule 3: Don't use smilies - Smilies aren't accepted in /jp/, please refrain from using them. We are all heartless bastards who don't want to see what kind of faces you make IRL while posting (This also applies to reaction images, if you want to post them so badly go to /a/ or /v/) Exceptions: ;_; (Life-like texture ;_;), 2ch smilies and ransmirk.jpg

Rule 4: Keep your memes in your board - We aren't meme fans, try to keep your memes in /b/. However, as every board in 4chan, we have our own memes too (even if we don't spam them all the time like in /b/). the most common ones are: The Pleasure of Being Cummed Inside (/lounge/ forced meme, became the generic response to every translation request), Japanese Bird Cooking pasta (forced meme that became popular), Hoopdog/Awesomedog (HOLY SHIT A DOG JUMPING 8 HOOPS ON FLAMES)

Rule 5: Irony is art - Sarcasm and irony are funny, however "LOL I DONT LIKE THIS SO I HAVE TO ACT LIKE A RETARD XD" isn't accepted. Acting like a retard to "mock" something you dislike only makes you worse than the people you are trying to mock. Neither is spamming the board with stupid shit just to be funny.

Rule 6: Be tolerant - This is 4chan, it's impossible to post here without being insulted at least once. We don't want this to become a forum, but we don't want this to become /b/ either; just try to be kind the most you can, excessive swearing and "rage" isn't cool.

Rule 7: Trolling - Trolling is fun, but it's too easy to generate stupid, annoying drama too easily, especially when you overdo it. Try to avoid trolling unless you can make it funny. More importantly, don't keep pressing when everyone is already annoyed of your shit, it's not clever at all. Please know when to stop.

Rule 8: GETs - GETs are dumb and boring, nobody cares about a stupid number. Don't act surprised if somebody scores a GET and people don't react to it. Just ignore it.

Rule ⑨: Requests - If you want to download "X," check /rs/ first. If it fails (and is porn), you can also try /r/. If that fails too, try Google. Also check the archive (archive.easymodo.net), it has a nice search feature. If it's an image someone posted, you can try the [View same] feature in the archive or iqdb.yi.org. Also try anisearch.net, it's a search engine for the *boorus. If you want the source of a doujin some anon posted, check the filename first, you don't want to be a dumbass that asked /jp/ for source on something that can be easily recognized by the filename. If everything failed, then ask /jp/.

Rule 10: Reports - Nobody cares if you reported a thread, it's not like the OP is going to delete the thread just because you reported it. Don't make single-word post saying "reported," it only leads to dumb meta-arguments about what "/jp/ really is about."

[Anonymous No.]

Oh boy.

[Anonymous No.]

Rule 11: Imagedumps - Yes, we all know about the boorus, anisearch and Google Image Search, but we aren't going to stop posting imagedumps just because you don't like them. Go to a text board if you don't like imagedumps or just hide them using 4chan's Firefox Extension.

Rule 12: Don't be a "normalfag" - Most of the users here are loser weeaboo "NEET"s. Nobody cares if your girlfriend is a supermodel or if you are more successful than us, we enjoy our way of living, even if we feel lonely.

Rule 13: Sage - In general, sage doesn't have a negative connotation in /jp/. It doesn't mean "I HATE YOUR POST," it's just a command that lets you post without bumping. Sagebombing is also fucking retarded, a single bump can ruin your entire sagebomb and if you reach the bump limit the OP can just recreate the thread. If you don't like a thread, just hide it using 4chan's Firefox Extension.

Rule 14: Grammar and spelling - Type coherently. Firefox has a spell checker, there's no excuse. Also use proper capitalization and punctuation. Yes, we actually care about that.

Rule 15: Tripcodes - Using a tripcode or name will instantly turn you into an attention whore. Don't use one without a good reason if you don't want to be hated by every anon.

Rule 16: Don't post an ambiguous /h/ doujin/picture without the source. Otherwise you'll start a "sauce request" shitstorm. If you don't have the source, then please specify it in your post so that you'll save your fellow /jp/ers some time by not having to ask you for the source.

Rule 17: Don't roleplay - Roleplaying is retarded, if you want to roleplay, go somewhere else.

Rule 11: Sage

I hate that image almost as much as I hate those rules.

You're a Cirnofag. Enough said.

[Anonymous No.]

>We just take it easy
/jp/ taking it easy? Has this ever been true?

[Anonymous No.]

That didn't last long.

[Anonymous No.]

Rule 18: No metathreads?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2775615,2
Nope, I'm pretty much angry all the time in here.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2775615,2
A lot of us do actually, but there are always going to be people who "rage" over every little thing.

[Suigin !YUsuiginy. No.]

aaaaaaaahhh~

[Anonymous of Russian Federation !6907282216 No.]

>>2775615,2
In the beginning, yeah. Or maybe I was just too ignorant.

[Anonymous of Colombia !pkzejWGkfw No.]

/jp/ still takes it easy against the big targets. There are no specific rage threads, nor "look at this crunchyroll profile!".

The "not related to /jp/", "KSdev" and "popular VN, so it sucks" however, are another story.

[Anonymous No.]

Yeah, with the exception of KS threads, /jp/ers tend to take it easy.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2775615,10
"GET OUT KS DEV" is probably the dumbest /jp/ meme ever.

[Anonymous Jones ‮[8-FTU] ‪‪‪‬ ‪‬ ‭ !TapsqdZp4A No.]

>>2775615,11
Not a meme, bro.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2775615,12
The worst part of it is that some people treat it as a joke/meme while others ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT SHIT.

[Anonymous Jones ‮[8-FTU] ‪‪‪‬ ‪‬ ‭ !TapsqdZp4A No.]

>>2775615,13
The worst part of it is that trolls keep posting it. But they'll get bored eventually.

[Anonymous No.]

athens left you guys because you didn't take it easy enough.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2775615,15
Good riddance. Hopefully Anonymous2007 will follow his path.

Sometimes you just have to make like a leaf and leave.

[Anonymous No.]

Rule 18: You should not care of the previous rules because they are stupid fanboy wank.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2775615,13
I really don't think anyone actually believes it.

>>2775615,15
But athens is like the antithesis of taking it easy.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2775615,18
Well, athens is a genuine twit. Even though he puts on his trolling personality, he is so easy to read. He is moderately amusing but really lacking in humour. It is obvious that he is not too intelligent or witty.

Eksplol, well, he is sort of like nice guy or whatever. Does not really ever say anything other than "take it easy" and "where is pygma-chan". He is internet moe. Keep hosting /ck/.

Russia, he is sort of intimidating. I really don't care to understand this person. He does not really visibly react anything except DJ Aguro. Also he has pretty high IQ and he is a pedophile. Highly creepy person.

Colombia, he is such a sweet guy, really. Kind of depraved in terms of personality and such. And truly quite sinister character, even though he has his take it easy act going on. He is so innocent in ways, though. Moderately intelligent, not cunning or mean-spirited, not all of the time. Well, no one is perfect. This person needs to get laid. I think he'd be sort of decent guy once he figures that stuff out.

This Jones guy. Not really worth mentioning. Pretty lame. Kinda like stupider version of athens.

And me, kind of like normal average person. A humble urbanite. Kinda smart, prolly the highest IQ around here (142). Very nice personality. Rumored to be some sort of has-been child prodigy. Appears to have a peculiar background.

Do I forget someone? Well, if I do they have not been noteworthy.

[Anonymous Jones ‮[8-FTU] ‪‪‪‬ ‪‬ ‭ !TapsqdZp4A No.]

>>2775615,19
I have more than thirty more IQ points than you, miss prodigy.
You and I are proof that potential isn't everything.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2775615,20
Chances are about 1 out of hundred thousand of me believing you.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2775615,19
168 for me, sorry.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2775615,20
Oh Jones, you and your delusion, classic.

>>2775615,23
F-fine, then I don't believe you either!
I'll just sit here in the corner with my pointless dickwaving number and sulk.
