Newbie! How to become Awesome on the Shroomery 9

Over the years I have watched several members here become awesome. Here's what most of them have in common:
You have to be at least 18 years of age to become awesome on this website.If you post that you are 14 or 15 years old your ban notice will inform you how many years it will take before we let you have a shot at awesomeness. Seriously, do not joke about being underage, we are required to take that very seriously. Awesome members post entertaining and informative posts in the appropriate forums.If you post about your drunk night out in the Mushroom Cultivation forum, generally the mods will inform you you were not being awesome. Awesome members use proper grammar and punctuation, and paragraph their post every few lines with an empty line.We have members of many nationalities for whom English is not their first language, so be clear. More than a few of our members will read your post while high, tired, stoned or otherwise concentration impaired, and experience teaches us that unparagraphed posts will not be read by most. Awesome members generally post when they have something to say.Nothing to add? Then please don't. Awesome members don't try to be awesome, they just are.Trying too hard works as well on a message board as it does in wanting to get laid. Awesome members use the Shroomery Search Engine if they have reasonable suspicion their question has been asked and answered before.We have millions of ontopic posts, most things you immediately think of have immediately been thought of many times before. Awesome members don't freak out in a rage or other episode because of reasonable criticism and have a good tolerance of frustration.If you are too emotional to post, do yourself a big favor and wait a few minutes before you post. Many bans are caused by heat-of-the-moment posts that break rules. Awesome members don't come here to plug a website or product or a particular point of view.They come here to take part in an online community. Awesome members don't cuss, call bad names or act out bigotry in the ontopic forums.In the off-topic forum such discourse will not be out of place and we have a crew of experts there which is both qualified and able to critique your approach and inspect it for general awesomeness to the standards of that particular forum. Awesome members don't use the Shroomery as a way to commit illegal acts.Stick to the rules and stay within the law, so no trading pot seeds in PM's. Awesome members are told they are Awesome, they do not themselves insist they are.See: trying too hard. Awesome members realize the limitations of Freedom of Speech.The Shroomery Message Board is not a country you live in, its a private organization you visit for information, socializing and entertainment, and as such the staff determines and enforces what's a go and what's a no in each of the forums. Awesome members rarely get a temporary ban and when they do they do not try to evade it.The overwhelming majority of members, like 90-95%, never gets a ban sanction EVER. If you do, do your best to avoid getting any more of them - by cleaning up your act. Awesome members do not involve the Shroomery in suicide attempts or victimizing criminal acts.911 has been called on members, authorities informed and personal information including addresses have been made public in the most urgent of such emergencies. Awesome members realize that the staff are volunteer workers chosen from the membership for their dedication to the community and their expertise.Even if you disagree with some of them some of the time, realize that the staff is what makes the Shroomery possible. If you disagree with all of them all of the time, please leave. Awesome members make the Shroomery a better place.Treat them well, just like they tend to treat others. Awesomeness begets Awesomeness.You will reap what you sow, plus any number of other things depending on the forum you do the sowing in. The above are the basics I have observed in my study of awesome people on this website; The list is far from complete but a pretty good place to start.

This is an obvious case of Shroomery propaganda from 'the man.'
I don't want to be awesome anymore than I want to be above the influence.

Gee, I hope one day I can be as awesome as an internet hall monitor.
