Are there anythings I should know? - I'm new here.

I read the rules but I'd like to know more about this site.
1. How do I avoid getting fucked over?
2. Are there any phrases I should know?
3. Who should I look out for?

Probably read the thread "Cybersecurity101".

Or lurk more, see how kiwis interact and learn from that.

If you're unsure, just lurk more.

Also keep in mind that each subforum has its own little subculture that's different from the others.

I understand that, but is there a unwritten rule I should know?

if someone asks you to tell them more it's probably time to stop talking

"Unwritten rules" are exactly why you lurk, that's the thing. Reading the rules is how you avoid getting banned. Reading cybersecurity 101 is how you avoid getting JULAAY yelled into your phone by tards. Lurking is how you avoid pissing everybody off and never having any fun because you don't know what's going on half the time.

this is a prime example of something i wish i would have lurked long enough to learn tbh, didn't get doxed or anything but i looked like a tool

Yourself or who should you be afraid of? Everyone but Null is who you don't want to piss off

 

[Mysterious Capitalist]

Tell me more about why you wanted to join the forum

 

[Rokko]

Dont make stupid threads would be my advice.

 

[ughbugkillme]

Eh. I started lurking a few weeks back and decided to make an account.

Yeah, "lurk more" is always good advice, don't double-post, don't drift off the thread's topic like I probably do way too much, don't A-log, don't take shit too seriously.

The shit written in green under every thread title is usually pretty on-point IMO- it's mostly common sense.

If you're planning to make an OP please don't write it like a fucking idiot. Archive everything. Make sure the person is funny and not just "grr this guy is ebil weird dude #24123541" or some shit like that. Archive everything. Write concise like an actual article, or if you're trying to sell something to us (which you essentially are.) Archive everything.

ARCHIVE. EVERYTHING.
