Be nice, be polite. Do not down vote people unless they are being misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, racist or sexist. If you are going to troll then troll the trolls, the bigots, the nasty minded people who make hateful comments just for kicks.
hi. so i read ur bio, im also Christian and south African. welcome to Bored Panda.
First of all, you get upvotes for what ppl agree on what you say. if ppl disagree what you say, then they will downvote you. there are trolls who downvote ppl for no reason. There are famous ppl on Bored Panda like, Do-nut touch da donut, Nathaniel He/Him Cis-Het, and Bouche and Audi and Shyla, Oh My!
I HOPE U HAVE A GREAT TIME ON BP!!!
Welcome! Pandas are decent people for the most part. Don't worry about the occasional attack of downvote goblins. You don't have to answer everything. Naughty words are automatically censored with asterisks, but you can edit a comment and replace them with accented letters, eg drügs (which Bored Panda will censor even if you're talking about aspirin...).
If you say something that SLIGHTLY offends someone, you will fall into a pool of downvotes and might not be able to get out. I'm not saying this happens to everyone, but someone mocked British people on a post, I told them it was offensive and INSTANT ATTACKS
Some people, who defend common sense and basic human decency (such as Nathaniel, long may he reign on BP) get relentlessly attacked by bitter losers who have no life and for some reason think that other people don’t deserve human rights (such as Jude). There’s no end to rage-baiters, bigots, or trolls, so for the most part, just ignore them (don’t forget to downvote) and move on. Do not interact with them if you value your sanity! They’re just there to waste your time. Hope to see you in the comments soon!
Much (platonic) love, Double
