The Politics.ie Survival Guide.

[Neutron]

Politics.ie one of the best discussion sites in Ireland. Attracts thousands of visits everyday with new accounts set up.

Of course like all good sites P.ie has a set of rules that it asks of new and old posters to follow, but as we all know there is a unknown set of rules on how to survive on P.ie not just from the site mods but to also survive and command the respect of other posters.

So with that I feel we should do our very best to help new and old posters to maintain a good long service here on P.ie we should all share our wealth of knowledge and offer our help and create the ultimate P.ie Survival Guide!


Ill start off with this.

1. Dont waste your time questioning a moderators decision, you will not win. Eventually your anger will explode into a flounce that you will never be able to escape and end up having to set up a new account and username.


2. Immigration posts. It is adviseable to not post anything negative on immigration otherwise you will be flamed as a Racist and for ever be regarded as one. All immigration threads eventually end up off topic and your points no matter how valid will be ignored. For your own benefit simply dont bother.


3. You`re wrong. Remember no matter how valid you think your point of view is, you will always be wrong. If you claimed the sea was Blue you will end up with various attacks on how stupid you are with various arguments and discussions into what shade of Blue or why it appears Blue but is in fact Pink.

4. The Government (no matter of what hue or make-up) are automatically traitors and should be all shot at dawn, preferably after a spot of ritual disembowelling.

5) Everyone who posts to this thread is a complete fool (me excepted obviously).

2. Immigration posts. It is adviseable to not post anything positive on immigration otherwise you will be flamed as a multicult PC liberal and for ever be regarded as one. All immigration threads eventually end up off topic and your points no matter how valid will be ignored. For your own benefit simply dont bother.

Sorted.

6. An inability to distinguish between your and you're is a prerequisite for a long and happy P.ie career.

7. You will rapidly loose you're English language capability.

8. Insult or attack ad hominem posters who you dislike or disagree with. Even if you don't win the argument you will sh1t the thread up so much people reading will loose interest.

6) A large number of posters are just here to point out bad spelling and/or grammar.
Its all they have in life so don't take it from them. Living would be meaningless otherwise.
7) Posters who persistently point out bad grammar/spelling are generally losing the debate.

Nobody will ever modify their stance on anything no matter how much evidence you place in front of them. There is no such thing as facts.

Note the dodgy grammar in last sentence. This is the sort of thing i'm talking about.
