Let me know your BP tips and tricks.

#1

Be nice with you comments. If you don't know anything nice to say, leave it. Only downvote if the content is troublesome, racist, negative etc. Downvotes here are not like regular dislikes. Just 10 downvotes get you banned. The first time, for one day. And then more...and then permanently.

Trolls are just looking for an argument. You just downvote, report, and move on

Downvotes no longer trigger auto-bans. The only way to get a user banned is by clicking the three little dots by their username, and then reporting.

Really? Has anyone really verified it yet? (Not trying to be skeptical just scared to try and find out for myself lol)

    Welcome to bp! Most of the people I knew here have gone inactive, but Nathaniel and Val are still here, they're both really nice :) If you see the transphobic troll who keeps coming back, just downvote + report + ignore. Personally I like the comics and community sections but look around and see what you like :)

    So, don't be an idiot. Be nice. remember that some people here have their political opinions, and respect them, even if you disagree with them

    Also, BP consists of many nationalities, and many different ages so at times an explanation is in order.

    I'm afraid I disagree with the last bit. Some political stances actively harm other people, and there's no reason to respect that, nor to keep quiet about it.

    Although most trolls are usually itching for an argument/attention, sometimes someone just says something so infuriating I have to reply lmao

    If you have to fight, make sure your are fighting the trolls and the haters.

    Don’t read the comments on the larger posts, there can be a lot of contention at times. (If you’re anything like me it can make you lose some hope in humanity.) Overall though, most people are friendly, just be careful when you express opinions (mostly political)

    Be open minded. There are many liberal atheists here (while I am MAGA conservative Christan). I don't expect everyone to agree with my posts but am willing to hear (and consider) what others have to say. Hint: I am 63.

    I respect that. I didn’t think I’d ever say that about a MAGA conservative. Thank you for respecting others’ opinions and not just going around proclaiming that your beliefs are the only ones that are right and stuff.

    Be positive and uplifting, and don’t downvote too much. Respect other’s opinions and beliefs (unless they harm others). Don’t interact with the trolls too much. There’s been some transphobic trolls on here recently, so if you want to show your support to trans people, you can put your pronouns in your name, even if you are a cis person, just (she/her) or (he/him) is good. You don’t have to, though. As you may notice as you start to use the site more, the censoring is really weird lmao. Anyone can post anything, as you may have noticed, so if you have cool stuff you want to show off, or if you want to ask more questions in the future, go right ahead! Welcome to BP, I hope you have a great time here :)

    Oh yes, the censorship!! A lot of that comes from the original source where the posts originate from. But from what I have gathered BP does it's fair share too.

    Try to read through the posts before you post a comment, many don't and it just leads to repetitive comments. I just upvote a comment if it is something I would have said myself or I like them. Most of the photos have little or nothing to do with the actual post. MANY of the posts are taken from other places like twitter or Reddit etc. Some folks like to research information (in posts) to add to the comment section AND some do not. Extra info is always appreciated by most. I see a fair number of posts saying "GOOGLE IT" in an unkind manner (troll). Lastly HAVE FUN & ignore the trolls.
