I really don't take any joy in making an ever growing list of AskTRP rules but it's becoming increasingly clear how little repeat offenders seriously just are not doing any real work on learning anything outside of milking (abusing) AskTRP for mental masturbation.
I've noticed one pattern in particular:
Guys abuse AskTRP, asking far too many mental masturbation questions, absolutely plead and insist that they've read the sidebar, they get a ban warning unless they write FRs, and then their FRs are full of not understanding anything in game or women.
Looks dudes, it's extremely clear why your "newbie Q's" are permanently so newbie, as well as why the field reports are off. You CLEARLY ARE NOT DOING ANY RESEARCH ON YOUR OWN
Look, you guys are going to be held accountable for what you look up (or lack thereof). Instituting this rule for 4 reasons:
- To show you are even looking up any game instructions AT ALL
- To let commenters see if you ignored their game recommendations or not
- To pinpoint terrible game resources you are watching.
- So that you actually have to give a shit and do your own research, we can't sit here and coach you for life.
Going forward, if you game is bad or you are clearly confused about game in a FR, you are going to be required to state where you are learning game. If you're not doing any actual work learning game, you will be banned from AskTRP.

Edit: you guys need to do the work
There is countless game content out there. Find something that resonates with your personality type and comfort zone and do it. And don't go looking for and mentally masturbating about "the right answer". There is no "right answer" in game
But doing nothing to better yourself and trying spitball fake game is not it

How about this: before anyone can post a question on the forum, they have to choose one sidebar post and write a summary of it.
At least that way they might actually read one post before crying about their oneitis.

This would be insane to moderate. I'm not doing it
Do you have any idea how much time I'd have to waste instead of just flairing guys who clearly haven't read it

Man I'll review everyone's shitty post summaries for a few months before the I get sick of it.

I would have to DM them too, somehow remove their posts before a bunch of people comment etc. i don't think he has any idea how obnoxious this would be to have to administrate manually

Quick question. I started my journey under rooshs teachings. Now that he’s gone religious what would some good options be?

I like Todd V for game videos, heartiste and Pook are good game resources in written form.

Second Pook.
Great fucking read. I printed out The Book of Pook, slapped it in a binder and read it on the Greyhound out West. Highly recommend it, Greyhounds not so much.

Can i post vent type posts in the tribe version of ask trp ?
Vermillion-Rx Admin 3w ago
No? Unless there is a question in it, hence why it is called AskTRP
Post it in the hub otherwise

As a mod I go not care if you guys ask a ton of questions in the tribe version. I just want the front page of the forums to be taken more seriously and with higher standards
