I've noticed an influx of new visitors to /c/ lately as well as a growing amount of, shall we say, "not so successful" threads. Let me take this opportunity to offer some friendly advice and helpful hints to our new /c/itizens and vistiors.

I hope that this thread helps. I came to /c/ a couple of years ago and I'm glad I did. This board is the crown jewel of 4chan in my opinion. If you're not sure about something feel free to ask. The /c/itizens here will help you, I'm sure of it.

>>1334340 You can use the tag "Rating:s" to filter it to only worksafe images, however, you have to give up one of your two tags to do that.

iqdb.org also lists a bunch of other sites. It also has a function in which you can find the source of certain images, and also see if the image has a better resolution.
Also, Pixiv is an awesome place to find nice japanese fanart. Though you need an account to view it all. Here's a guide that will tell you how.

"Image Macros.">An image macro is a photo or picture with a (usually) witty phrase superimposed over it. They often convey a humorous message of disdain towards the original poster or the entire thread, but can be used to show approval.

PROTIP: They won't read the rules - let alone follow them - , even if you make the link a 1000x100 banner flashing in neon colors. They'll post requests, inappropriate content, spam their lockdingsbums invites, malware links and all that crap without even so much as reading the board's content.

Thank you /c/. I tried to stay within the "spirit of /c/" by offering positive, constructive advice. I know what it's like to have threads fail, but I've also learned how to share very successful ones as well.
Quoted By:
Has anyone popped this on the archive already? I can go ahead and do it, if needed, 'cause it's a /great/ thread to save.
I find it strange that about a year ago Sagebeard was just somebody bitching about people only creating a thread with one picture and would troll it with a sage.

/cm/ hates couples pictures with a passion, unless it's a couple of guys with no girls. Does /c/ have a similar hatred of threads focused on male/female coupling, or pictures where the males are in equal or greater number as compared to the females?

I have to say that I used to respect /c/, but lately it has turned into a lot of underage kids posting here.

>>1336120 not really that I've ever seen as long as it has some /c/ content and it meets the spirit of the thread it's posted in. If you start to get extreme, like a pic of 8 guys and a single female off in the distance then it might start catching flak.
Quoted By:
>>1336129 Remember when this board was pretty much /loli/, and Motoko from GITS wasn't allowed because she was "sexy", not "cute".
Good times. So long, /c/'s golden age.

>>1336120 /c/ has couples threads all the time. Your pics can have guys in them, but it would be nice if a cute girl featured predominantly in them. As mentioned before, avoid the extremes.
The pic I have posted has two guys in it (Fei Long and Gen) and only one girl (Chun-Li). As you can see Chun-Li is still up front and center. Now if there were two more guys in this pic I probably wouldn't post it.

/cm/: images of guys only.

>>1336576 If it bothers you that much then simply hide it. Complaining and sageing isn't what I would call constructive. /c/ is usually much more polite than that.
Thanx Cap'n. I'm sure more than a few people will find this thread helpful. ;)
I hate it when /c/ talks....

I just want to say that straying over here while incredibly drunk one night was a pretty nice mistake. I really like the board and the people who post on it. So much so that I've made it a daily routine to check it as soon as I wake up. Idk, it just sets the mood for the day.

Make it a rule that every time /c/ uses the letter c they have to put it as /c/.

No joke, this is seriously the worst thread to happen to /c/ that wasn't a troll or spam.

.-. wow, there are still lot of mean people on /c/, really...
I didn't expect that.
Could these people please explain why they don't find this topic useful? I'm curious and I'd really like to know.
>>1337234 I love it, when /c/ talks! I like the cuteness that surrounds me, but sometimes I wanna know what other people are thinking too. This only applies to the /c/itizens, because the other boards are just plain rude.

>>1337380 personally, i find the captains methods slightly irritating. i appreciate that he wants to make the board better, but posting things like this thread don't help. Admittedly its much better then the constant sageing he used to do.
I have my own views on how to make the board better, the main one being to stop all this talk of rules and just post some cute pictures. if someone makes a request thread, don't sit there whining at the OP, use the thread as an opportunity to post some of the best material you have. If someone is asking for help looking for pics, help a fellow /c/itizen out and spend a few moments posting your favourite images. The captain is right about a few things though, the mannerisms seen elsewhere on 4chan don't sit well on /c/.
we don't need a set of hints or rules, we just have to act like the /c/ommunity we are. Be polite and help each other out. That is what we do and that is what makes this board the best..

>>1337384 might be a little harsh. it's not like someone's bringing the /c/ hammer down forcing everybody to do stuff. yeah it'd be nice if everything was kittens and rainbows, but with all the failed MOAR OF THIS threads and having 5 or 6 of the same thread up at a time...it's kind of nice to see something people can, if nothing else, learn a little bit of common sense from.
>>1334285 my favorite.
"polite bumping" a thread 10 or 20 times in an hour doesn't work. be patient.

Just something big, and I mean BIG, that OP missed.
You don't realize this: a lot of people have come here (unfortunately) from Gaiaonline-tier forums WITHOUT abandoning their previous mentality. And, I'm sorry about this, but an imageboard does not work the same way as a forum.
Before making a thread about how to use /c/ properly, people should learn about how to use an imageboard in general first.
So, my only contribution will be this:
http://tanasinn.info/wiki/A_Guide_to_Anonymous_Boards Read it, comprehend it, follow it. It has been made with a lot of love by veterans of the Internet for you.

>>1337396 That is an excellent guide. Thank you for sharing the link.
Remember, I offered this thread as a helpful guide to new/c/omers and in no way am I enforcing any "rules" or passing myself as a Mod. On an ideal board every thread would get contributed to and there would be no bickering. Besides, it's not like something like this gets posted all of the time.
"Too much talking instead of posting."
Yes, /c/ seems to prefer posting images instead of 'chatter' so let's get back to that, shall we. I'll leave this thread up for a little while longer and then I'll move on. Thank you for your time.
