Alternatively, we could just have Heretic as a moderator.1. You must use smileys, itallics, bold type, and underlining as much as possible. It is simply unreasonable to expect people to understand plain text the way they have been doing for hundreds of years. This also goes for wavy lines, hyphens, and funny sets of parentheses.
2. You must edit all your posts at least once. Not editing posts is thoughtless, it shows you have not read what others have written, and proves you did not realise your mistakes. Editing without leaving a line to show you edited is to be prefered at all times. Never admit to editing a post, no matter the evidence to the contrary.
3. As a general rule people do not understand what they meant to say. You must at all times explain to them why they meant something else entirely.
4. Leonard also writes poems as well as songs. Therefore all Cohen fans like poetry. Furthermore they are all desperate to read any poem you have ever written, ever. Please do not waste time honing your poetic musings. Get them up on the forum as soon as possible. If there are any you haven't posted yet, go post them at once!
5. Everything Cohen has ever done is great. Anyone who dares to criticise any of his works shall be hounded mercilessly and subjected to snide personal attacks.
6. You must also love Dylan. This is not optional.
7. Quantity is better than quality. Never use one word when you can use ten, better yet use a hundred.
8. Make sure you answer any question ever asked, even if it is not asked of you. This is especially important if you do not know the answer. People need to know you don't know.
9. Not posting on a thread is plain rude, and shows you do not care. It is your duty as a forum member to post on every thread. Anyone who does not is not a real fan.
10. Finally, thou shalt not use irony. Oh no. Not ever. Americans visit here, so please be mindful of them.

Wise post.
