(1/2) FOREWORD
I love /adv/. It is truly a privilege to be able to offer someone wisdom in their time of need. It is also an act of charity. I hope that at least one person will read this guide and take away something useful on how to give or receive advice here.

HOW TO ASK FOR ADVICE

1. Be specific - People are more likely to offer accurate advice instead of platitudes (ex. "just be positive!" or "don't give up!") if you clearly define your problem, your physical / mental condition, and any extenuating factors. Here's an example: "I'm a college student and I'm depressed, what do I do?" Ambiguity like this raises a ton of questions compared to, "I'm a transfer student and I feel depressed because I haven't been able to make friends at my new school, what do I do?" The problem is obvious now - anon needs help socializing and the best way to help him is by offering advice on how to meet new people. My examples are a bit oversimplified, but you would be surprised how many people omit key details in their posts.

2. Be humble - If you came here to ask for help, you need to be able to swallow your pride. This is a problem across the board, but it is most evident in dating / relationship / "why am I a virgin at XX years old?" threads. I'll elaborate with an example:
>A: Why can't I get past the talking stage with the women I meet?
>B: What do you look like?
>A: I'm average-looking, but I gained a lot of weight last year
>B: You need to lose weight and work on your appearance
>A: Fuck off, superficial stuff like that shouldn't matter
Everyone has low points, everyone has flaws - don't take it so personally if someone points yours out. After all, YOU are the one with a problem that needs solving.

3. Be skeptical at times - You're going to run into trolls and retards. These types are easy to spot, because their advice will come off as overly-hostile OR overly-confident OR it will lack sound reasoning.

(2/2) HOW TO GIVE ADVICE

1. Be specific - It's good practice to over-explain your position on something.
>A: Hey, should I move to X city from Y?
>B: No, that's retarded
versus
>A: Hey, should I move to X city from Y?
>B: No, that's retarded. I live in X city. The cost of living is sky-high, and [another reason], and [yet another reason]

2. Don't be the biggest cunt in the world - Some people really are at their wit's end and have nobody but faceless strangers to help them. I know that asking people to show compassion here is likely an exercise in futility, but whatever. I think more interesting and generative interactions come about when there's at least a shred of good will present in a thread.


HOW TO DETECT POSSIBLE BAIT POSTS
1. OP has literally the worst life ever - ex. "My whole family just died in a plane crash and I got raped two hours ago, what do I do now?"
2. OP is a super-NEET - ex. "I haven't stepped outside in 30 years, where do I go from here?"
3. OP is making threats of suicide - ex. "I'm going to do it and nobody can stop me"
4. OP is the most retarded person on the planet - "Just shot myself in the leg, how do I stop the bleeding?"

That's all I've got. I invite anyone that's been a longtime lurker / contributor to throw their two cents in and offer your own advice. Cheers.

There are some samrt asses here lately who troll by absolutely taking the threads in a different direction. Though usually they troll the bait threads so I don't really have any complaints with them. However it will start to get annoying once they start targetting stuff they dont like.
>>
>>34441714
I think people need to completely remove their personal self from 4chan /adv when advising other people. i have been seeing people argue over "ego hurt", "got proven wrong and they prefer something else so everyone should too", "Too imposing with their preferences", "LITERALLY talking about themselves in someone else's thread and ignoring OP altogether", "talking like they know other poster are lying while proving nothing", "just retards speaking nonsense and advising with non answers because they were ostrasized?".
I advise people here to report trolls and remove any racist motherfucker because I have reported quite a few of them myself and the MODS usually remove them, also people dont report something out of your butthurt ass because the mods will BAN you instead.
This is a beautiful board and don't ruin it like this son of a cunt below:
https://archived.moe/adv/thread/34439097/
He made a thread on a thread to vent out his hate for indians yesterday.
HE GOT BANNED. Dont do this shit here. Go to /b like other low lives.

Well said.
There was a troon here @
>>34403925
This thread is still up and the OP keeps fighting and justifying why he is not a troon. Its as if he made this thread just to argue with people and seek validation on why he is not a troon. I really think people need to stop abusing this board just for entertaiment.
>>
>>34442048
link missing sorry - here the thread: /adv/thread/34403925

>>34441714
This should be posted by mods & pinned. This could really work.

>>34441738
You have to go back, Rashid
>>
>>34442148
don't worry i am actively reporting the racists here. i have the capacity to ragebait anyone who shows a little racism until that guy goes on some dumbshit racist rant. love it when people get banned here. looking forward to our meet randomly somewhere in these threads.
- Rashid
>>
>>34442135
Yes. Though some of the bait threads are so funny. Its incredible how some people have such bullshit on their minds ahahah
>>
>>34442253
Yeah, what I meant though is you know how most boards have a pinned thread that was posted by a jannie? This thread OP posted should be copypasted by them & pinned.
>>
>>34442268
Yeah I hope they notice. + I am lurking this board often now. I spot a troll on a serious thread and I bait him till I can report him.
Really want mods to take this board to the highest level. The quality of people/NEETs and Nerds this board has probably no board has ever achieved ever.
>>
>>34442248
Rashid, just because a guy complained about an Indian saying to "have sex with negress" doesn't make him racist. And complaining to your Indian mods to ban him won't make him hate you any less. Racist is the Indian that said that. It's not racist to not like shit eating Indians that like to rape and drive badly. I'm not obligated to like you, and I'm not obligated to like any street shitter. You guys don't see your own fault when you pollute rivers and kill people in traffic. It's always the world's fault.
>>
>>34442297
yeah sure keep killing in iran and iraq. you genocidal freak. you are obligated to get shot i guess by a power hungry cop. seriously praying for it.
>>
Lol you're such a autofellating faggot
Thank you for your wisdom we're so grateful
>>
>>34442297
Indian society is way too fragmented for us getting hate here. While what you are saying is correct it wont apply to a large section of our society. Its like your mom being a whore makes you a retard? that DOES NOT make sense at all. You absolutely can be just fine and your mom can be one off. Heck she can even rape an child yet you turn out to be completely fine and a good individual.
You are pretty much grouping illiterates with accomplished people and hurting their sentiments when you call other indians - shit eating rats.
Does your hypothetical Whore child raping mom make you retard. if yes well you are actually retarded.
>>
>>34442306
Indians eat cow poop
>>
>>34442297
using that word in your post that begins with neg- actually does make you racist and is a bannable slur here in /adv/

I'm not reporting you, just letting you know you are objectively incorrect about the standards for blue boards
>>
>>34442297
Oh yeah? tell that to the guy who keeps dragging "rice niggers" in this board as well. At least do me a favour and get someone to update this board when you get shot by a rogue cop. I will do the same here when I take a dip in one of those rivers.
>>
>>34442308
bruh. you are really trying to instigate on a thread that literally tells you to stop acting like a retard. damn. show me your hand with a timestamp. need to see what kind of basement junk you are.
>>
>>34442322
>>
>>34442308
keep posting you little racist fellow. i want keep this thread up for days now. showing what retards lurk this board.
i hope some of these indians you talk about so negatively manifest a cop actually shooting you. these guys are religious frantics maybe there's some substance in it. getting you into the gore board is my sole wish right now.

>yeah sure keep killing in iran and iraq
I haven't killed anyone in Iraq, the only thing you can do is invent little stories to make yourself better. You guys rape people and eat cow dung. How is telling the truth racist?

>>34442306
>Indian society is way too fragmented for us getting hate here
Not true, Indians act like a mafia, that's why this Truck driver killed a lot of people in traffic while playing cellphone games. One Indian enters the company, and soon he starts hiring ANY Indian no matter if he is competent or not, soon, the entire company has been compromised and barely functions, we've seen this in many companies, and many games haven't been able to release a sequel because of that.

>Its like your mom being a whore makes you a retard?
No, but your mom being a whore shows that she can't think about long term, and that she rather choose short term pleasure than think about the future. This is absolutely something genetic and her sons and daughters will have the same genes. Whether they fight against the urge to have sex with any random person they bump is above my paygrade.

>You are pretty much grouping illiterates with accomplished people
Lies, a lot of Hindus are very literate, I have seen many "educated" people with ivy league's degree talking about the "Ayuverdic" properties of cow dung. Heck, even many of your politician believe in this shit, lmao.

>Does your hypothetical Whore child raping mom make you retard
My mom is not a whore like yours buddy, let's be honest, your mom would love to suck some BWC like there's no tomorrow. Heck, all poojeetas would.

>>34442329
>keep posting you little racist fellow
It's more than one person, and we're not racist for telling the truth. Getting banned for saying the sky is blue has to be wild.
>>
>>34442328
bruh fine there's no talking to you. you keep being who you are. i wont really make any further comments on the vices of americans because you seem incredibly prejudiced against indians. anyways looking forward to at least a few pictures of that gore action on you. thankfully the fellow indians are manifestable enough to keep india running on it at least. though evil thoughts like mine right now often backfire but i do really hope you die in the same filth these apparent "pathetic" indian people die in. I really dont care about racists anymore i just want your death to satisfy my hunger for some peace. there is nothing that can quence my thirst expect to see your "not whore" mom screaming in agonizing terror though i will feel so bad after a minute on what i have manifested and would want to reverse what i did if i did at all. my delusions really wish you harm and probably will do for the next 10 minutes.

>>34442334
>It's more than one person, and we're not racist for telling the truth. Getting banned for saying the sky is blue has to be wild
thats what i said exactly. blaiming the entirely of indians for the actions of the hyper traditionalists is dumb asf. as i said - americans killing in iran and iraq makes every american a killer doesnt make sense like it wont make sense for a fuckton of indians to lean into your stereotypes.
>>
>>34442324
bruh that indian is a retard. you are showing that as a representation of indians. assuming you are an american Idk that but just assuming it, you are a child raper like epstein now?
this has to be the dumbest conversations ever. why wont you die? i want your death as a redemption to me getting into this dumbshit racist rant with you.
>>
>>34442350
>blaiming the entirely of indians for the actions of the hyper traditionalists is dumb asf.
80% of Indians are Hindus. So what you said is fake. I am willing to give a chance for individuals, but when I have to generalize and talk about the group as a whole, I will address the 80%, and even those that aren't Hindus are Muslims which is not better off. You're just coping BTW, you say you're different than the other Indians, but look at the type of shit you say

>>34442347
>hope you die in the same filth these apparent "pathetic" indian people die in
>Looking forward to at least a few pictures of that gore action on you
Do you think you're the exception to the rule? As I said, I am willing to always give individuals a chance, but whenever I did so, it has been proven futile... You guys seem to always think you're different and better than your peers, but is that the case? Ehh, I don't think so.
>>
>>34442357
>bruh that indian is a retard
That Indian is a fucking CEO of a company, let that sink in.
>>
>>34442357

>>34442334
actually my bad for my earlier comments on your mom. it wasn't all that respectful and it was an easy spacegoat for me since i got actually mad at a racist. all i need is your death to take place by divine means. rashid needs the death of a racist troll. whoever it is idk who it can be. it needs to be you who needs to absorb all the sins of these racists here and die for them like the great jesus did for humanity. i have attached a picture of my beautiful cross i got in paris for the manifestation of this particular racist's death to take place.
sorry my hands a little white its because i went outside india like the other desperate indians.
also the screenshot has the indian time in its title to really make sure i am indian.

>>34442365
>Do you think you're the exception to the rule? As I said, I am willing to always give individuals a chance, but whenever I did so, it has been proven futile...
i see thats very sad to hear. indian people do seem an evil bunch of people. what do you suggest we do?
>>
>>34442365
>but look at the type of shit you say
that is entirely true and cannot be denied since i have indeed manifested death on you due to my hatelit mind(An indian mind) to your prejudices on indians. neither i shall deny i have not only taken this conversation to manifest your death via an actual cross i bought in hopes that my ideals being self righteous is better than your sound reasoning which you say to be repeated experiences. my bitter mind has now taken me to a path where only a rogue cop in usa can bring justice to my hateful mind.
i am no exception to this rule and i will now stoop to the lowest indian to join them in their manifesting of another rogue cop ruining a fine individuals life over nothing but a minor disagreement.
my hateful mind which you have invoked can only be quenched when this indian gets his revenge.
>>
>>34442369
yes he is and he is the representation of all india. My mind perfectly represents india as well who. my hateful mind. but fear not its only hateful towards you and will remain towards you because these fellow indians have affected me deeply to be like this.
not only that i will now take this lesson and treat americans here like epstein who has on proven record practised child rape. so now please will you a child raper fill my quest to extinguish this thirst with your death.
this will be a good riddiance of a filth(according to my indian mind) from this world.
>>
>>34442418
Look at picrelated, it's literally what you've been through in this thread
>>
>>34442334
i am one of those mafia members and here to all the members of this board i have demonstrated what you all should not do in the /adv board.
for anyone reading, do not be like this possible child raper (an extension of his own interpretations and him being one merely because theres a clear child raping mafia formed within the elites of the american society) and me hateful tendencies(my indian self emancipating with manifestations).
>>
>>34442431
yes i saw this in my uni as well. perfectly described. i have accepted you as a child raper possible and develop those tendencies in the future and accepted the stereotypes on me as well.
>>
>>34442431
so now go ahead child raper change your name to Epstein. his files have proven enough.
(possibly one, maybe you are developing those tendencies as speak, its only possible because those elitiest have all just represented you so good)
>>
>>34442436
>child raper
You're a child rapist, just like all Indians. Literally every Indian I med had been molested by an uncle, truly sad.
