Firebot's probably one of the most misunderstood areas of the site, so I'd like to write an article that hopefully clears up some of these misunderstandings while also explaining, in a very general sense, what Firebot is really all about beyond the morass of loosely-defined "shitposting" most people associate it with. It'd also help newer users navigate Firebot's insular (and at first intimidating) culture without accidentally making an ass of themselves, as has happened so often recently. Make no mistake, though, I don't intend it to be a "Firebot cheat sheet" or a set of do's and don'ts for newbies, since rigid/prescriptive guidelines are the last thing we want in Firebot. Instead it'd be a half primer, half manifesto that crystallizes what little we know about posting standards & expectations in the subforum without sacrificing its overall "anything goes" vibe.
I'll probably be consulting with the other firemods for this article so it may end up being a collaborative effort.
