A lot of people have been signing up lately and making countless threads. A lot of them about games that already have a thread; or in some cases, MANY threads.
This can be used as a forum list of DO's and DON'Ts:
Before making a thread:
1) Search whatever your idea is in the search located on the top right of the website on ANY page. For example, if you want to make a thread about Modern Warfare 2; simply search Modern Warfare 2 before doing so because there is bound to be a thread that already exists that will fit your needs.
2) If this is going to be a thread that only you are posting in, DO NOT bump your own thread and clog up the recent posts with a thread only you are interested.
3) If you're looking to create a clan or team of any sort please do not just post 1 thread about what you are trying to do. It would be more efficient for you to say you are making a clan and then schedule an event for tryouts. Simply saying, "I'm making a clan, let me know if you want to join" will not get anything accomplished and will cause you to get roasted.
Posting in threads:
1) Most people here usually have a lot to say. After you reply or quote someone and have forgotten something please DO NOT post again but go to the bottom right of your post and click "edit". There you can add or remove parts to the post instead of double, triple, or even quadruple posting.
2) A lot of people here will get angry if your grammar is not up to par. Although a lot of people will use poor grammar, please, do the best you can to make sense so that other people will be able to understand you.
3) Be courteous. If you're a new member and people are giving you advice, don't simply go off on them. There are rules here. To view the rules here simply click here.
If anyone else has anything to add to my list, please feel free to PM me and I will add it accordingly.

I don't really see this as much of a problem as a kind of minor annoyance.. like a red light.
