What should I know before I post?

Users are encouraged to participate actively in our community, but only after they have familiarized themselves with the rules and this FAQ. Breaking the rules may result in post deletion, a temporary ban, or in some cases, permanent banishment. Understand the rules before you begin posting!

Can I register a username?

No user registration process is available. If you're worried about somebody impersonating you, consider using a tripcode to help validate your identity.

Can I mark a submission as a spoiler?

Only certain boards allow you to mask plot-spoiling content. To mark your image as a spoiler, check the [X Spoiler Image?] box before submission. Spoilerizing text makes it unreadable to others until they mouse over it. To spoilerize a comment, place tags around the text you wish to hide (ex. "SPIKE DIES!"). Misuse of these tags may result in a ban.

How do I use a "tripcode"?

Tripcodes can help verify a user's identity to others, and are a type of pseudo-registration. To use a normal tripcode, place an octothorpe ("#") followed by a word or short phrase after what you've entered into the [Name] field (ex. "User#password"). Upon submission, the server will generate the hash unique to that particular word or phrase. The previous example would display "User !ozOtJW9BFA" after being posted.

Important note: A tripcode is generated only using the text entered after the octothorpe. Your entered name, IP address, cookie information, etc. do not affect the output. Normal tripcodes are *not* secure; they can be cracked with relative ease. For a more secure solution, see secure tripcodes.

What is "sage"?

Entering "sage" (by itself) into the [E-mail] field while replying will cause the thread not to bump to the top of the page, while still counting against its reply count. Threads that reach their reply limit can no longer be bumped, causing them to sink to the back pages and be pruned more quickly. Abusing the sage function by "sage-bombing" is frowned upon and may result in a ban.

How do I report posts?

Reporting posts for review is extremely encouraged, as it helps us remove rule breaking and/or illegal content faster. To file a report, check the box in the upper lefthand corner of the specific post you wish to flag, and scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the [Report] button. A confirmation dialogue will pop up and ask if the post you are reporting is a rule violation, or if it contains illegal material. Be sure to mark this appropriately!

Important note: Submitting false reports will result in a ban. This policy is in place to discourage abuse of the system; it is not meant to dissuade users from submitting legitimate reports.

lol u tk him 2da bar|?

Sure is VIDEOGAMES in here.

I admire your optimism, but it seems that /v/ shall forever remain a shit-hole.

tl;dr Imrinfected is a faggot

lets get this vidya related, MONSTER HUNTER MOTHERFUCKER

How do I delete my own post(s)?

When you submit a post, you have the option of entering a deletion password in the [Password] field. If you do not specify a password, one will be automatically generated for you and cookied to your browser. As long as your browser retains this cookie, you will be able to delete posts made using it (the box should appear to be filled in automatically). Deletion is carried out similar to reporting. To delete your post(s), check the box in the upper lefthand corner of the specific post(s) you wish to remove, and scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the [Delete] button. The password field should be automatically filled in. If it is not, you must manually enter in the password you selected. Checking the [X File Only] box will cause only the image to be deleted, leaving the comment untouched.

Congratu-fucking-lations rin, you've just copypasta'd the FAQ.

Do you feel special now?

vidya

this is what happens when people play too many games and are allowed to talk to others anonymously

/b/tards are coming to /v/ because there are literally more spam posts on /b/ than actual posts, and because /v/ shares similar interests.

Eventually, /v/ will turn into /b/, and the spam will soon follow.

There isn't a thing you can do about it OP.

FELYNE SHENANIGANS AND SHIT

Your thread is not about Video games, reported.

So how about dat Lego Monster Hunter?

What does "work safe" mean?

"Work safe" is defined as "content that is safe for viewing in the average working environment". Boards that default to the Burichan (blue) theme are to be considered work safe. Posting content that is not suitable for this environment may result in a ban. The goal behind enforcing this rule is to keep the cleaner sections of the site accessible to those in restricted viewing situations.

>Imrinfected !!toD3+hC9ws/

TACTICAL GENIUS

Fuck you because yeah.

My post disappeared! Where'd it go?

Threads expire and are pruned by 4chan's software at a relatively high rate. Since most boards are limited to eleven pages, content is usually available for only a few days before it is removed. Most times, the post was probably flagged as old and marked for deletion automatically, however in some cases it may have been removed by moderator or janitor. We ask that users refrain from reposting material that they believe to have been deleted by the staff.

FUCK YEAH

How can I stay in a thread after I post?

By entering "noko" into the [E-mail] field (by itself). After submission, you will be returned to the reply view of the thread you just posted in.

It's funny, OP you read the rules but you aren't aware that this thread is not video games related.

AWESOME

MONSTER HUNTER GENERAL


Can't fucking wait until MHP2

How do I aquire plz?

What is a "secure tripcode"?

A secure tripcode can be generated by placing two octothorpes in the [Name] field, as opposed to one as with a normal tripcode (ex. "User##password"). Secure tripcodes use a secret key file on the server to help obscure their password. The previous example would display "User !!Oo43raDvH61" after being posted.

I have read the rules and FAQ and I still dont follow them.

What the fuck is this, a prison?

Must I post an image?

To start a new thread, you must attach an image. 4chan is primarily an imageboard after all! When replying to an already existing thread, no attachment is required.

Sure is vidyagaems in here.

What is a "meme"?

A meme is basically an idea that is easily transferable from one mind to another. Think "catch-phrases". Memes are created when a large group of users come to identify with a particular image or slogan. Their continued [mis]use will bring about the destruction of the universe.

S&S is such shit.
It looks soooo good man, but, it can't even kill anything.

Who plans on buying this shit right here? I sure as fuck do, and I normally pirate all of my Wii games. Fuckyear MHTri

What are "GETs"?

"GETs" happen on the approach to significant or unique post numbers on a board, usually /b/ (ex. "5MGET", "1234567GET", "7777777GET", etc.). GETs are sought after by many, and normally over one thousand users will compete for one, often posting very quickly in order to better their chances of achieving the desired GET number. GETs are no longer automatically "stickied". This feature was disabled due to some alleging that the moderation team was rigging them behind the scenes. That, and because GETs tend to implode on themselves within minutes of being posted.
