Here's my additional take on it. Before posting to any message board, a user should spend at least a half-hour lurking. See what the board style is, get an idea of what it acceptable and what isn't, and especially check to see if your question has already been asked. Here, you would learn that full sentences are preferred, profanity is allowed, insulting and taunting is not allowed, etc.
