Guide To Posting Guides: A Satire

[JadoJodo]

So, you want to post a guide? Great! Contributing to this forum is an awesome way to both lose your leecher status and gain respect of other users. So, first...The source of your guide. Did you write it? Oh, you didn't? Is it a guide sold on the internet (For real money)? It's not? Oh, you got it from Wowhead.com? FAIL!

Let's try that again...

*Rewind*....*Rewind*

So, first...The source of your guide. Did you write it? Oh, you didn't? Is it a guide sold on the internet (For real money)? It is? Awesome. Here's what you do:

- Press Control-C while highlighting the...Oh, you know how to Copy + Paste? My mistake, I forgot you were a leecher. Anyhoo, click the big, GREEN, search button at the top of the page. That's the one...Do your magic PASTE and select "GO".

See that first post there...The one that has the same name as you were going to name yours? That's called a repost (AKA duplicate post...begging-to-be-flamed-post, etc). You can still go through with your post, but please post it in the GUIDE PACKS section of the guide forum and add the phrase "Alternate Source - <Guide Name>"

Now, let's do our magic rewind one more time...

*Rewind*....*Rewind*

So, first...The source of your guide. Did you write it? Oh, you did? Awesome! You are truly one of the elite. What's your guide about? Wait, wait...Stop right there. When you said that first line "This might be common sense, but..." - That's a red flag. While I do agree there are alot of people incapable of common sense in this world, and some even on this board...You don't need to remind us of that idea.

Ok, well that wraps up this gui...Oh, you have another guide? Does it start with "This might be common sense..."? It doesn't? Sweet! How long ago did you figure out this guide? Oh, so you've been saving it...Ok. And you did do your searches to find out if anyone else thought of it? And you browsed the guides section for the past TWENTY pages to be 100% sure it wasn't there?! You are truly an awesome person!!! So, you've got all your writing, formatting, AND you ran a spell-check?! You just might be the best person to step foot on this board! Well, what are you waiting for?! Post!

man this has fail written all over it. I'm in l33cher status, and I know it. but I'm not going to make a senseless post to try and get rep about making a post.

Posted in the wrong section of all things LOL.

BTW your sig is all jacked up with a redirect that any idiot can realize. Someone get me some coffee, I'm gonna be here awhile with this one.

No sense on flaming, he just got fed up with the 103938 Wowhead guides. As did we all.

not a flame but a coming of fruition. Its not that hard to just hit the back button on a post you have seen before you know from another site. If its not your own and your giving credit, then good job and hope you get +rep for spreading the word. Its people like the OP that bring this forum down with useless threads of making fun of posters instead of offering something/anything even if it is a repost.

Precisely.

Good idea for a joke/satirical guide, but wasn't done as well as I'd hoped.
