Here's a quick list of Dos and Don'ts for the TWoP forums. This isn't exhaustive but it does cover most of the general forum rules and code of conduct. This is not a replacement for reading the Forum FAQ but a refresher and a good place to point people new to the forum if they are breaking rules or confused.

• DON'T use "um," be snotty to another poster, or make the argument personal
• DON'T talk about the boards on the boards
• DO know the difference between differences of opinion and personal attacks
• DON'T post the same opinion over and over in the hopes of wearing other people down or "winning" a discussion; just move on

• DO search for existing topics before starting new threads
• DO start new episode-specific threads with the proper format at the right time
• DON'T use all-caps or excessive punctuation in thread titles
• DON'T start a new thread unless you have something of substance to say yourself
• DON'T start threads that amount to simple lists; only reasoned/meaty lists are allowed

• DON'T post in a thread until you've read at least the last fifteen pages or days of content
• DON'T post "Me Too!" messages; add something of substance to the conversation
• DON'T sign your posts
• DO use proper spelling, capitalization, punctuation, et cetera
• DON'T pimp your site or product, et cetera
• DON'T post copyrighted articles; link to them
• DON'T post the same thing in multiple areas; pick a spot and go with it

• DO put spoilers in spoiler tags
• DO know what is and isn't a spoiler
• DO be aware of show-specific spoiler policies
• DO double check your spoiler tags after you post to make sure they worked
• DON'T use spoilers tags for anything but spoilers
• DON'T discuss the previews for the next episode in the current episode topic (in multiple thread forums); take it to speculation.

• DO take any mod warnings you get seriously
• DON'T bug the mods to remove warnings
• DO help us out and report trolls, flame wars, and troublemakers using the Report link on each post
