Ah yes, the Team Fortress 2 forums. I have forumed here in the past and came back sometime in 2017.

Unfortunantely, when i came back (i forumed on my old account) the people were twisted, toxic idiots. Who think the world revolves around them and will say "bait" to any posts, any opinions they do not agree with and will even spread false lies just because they do not agree with your opinion. One time one of those users found my personal facebook and spread death threats to members of my family. Yes, they're that toxic. You are probably a person who is very curious about this forum. So before you enter. Here's a picture that perfectly describes what this forum is.

When i returned to the forums sometime in 2017. At first they weren't so bad. Little did i know i was about to experience a huge amount of toxicity. To the point where it even became worse than the ROBLOX Forum and Minecraft Forum combined. Both of which i have forumed for a long time. Yes, the ROBLOX Forum in it's current state is constantly being raided by spammers but that is understandable. ROBLOX Forum has lesser people patrolling it. But at least those people actually knew what a opinion, joke or anything.

Well anyway. Since this section is about what to expect from the TF2 Discussion forums. I might as well say it.

For the first threee months of posting. You will experience:

- People bashing you for your opinions
- Humourless forumers who go to the point where they find a baiters facebook and send hate messages.
- People with big ego's
- And many many more toxic people

This list could go on, but it's all the same. Toxic people, toxic people, toxic people and more toxic people. This makes you wonder "God, how bad did the TF2 Community become"

As soon as you click "Community" and click discussions. You are quickly greeted with a statement that says: "Everyone is invited! The Steam discussions are for everyone, new and advanced user alike!"

Well, if only the community wasn't that bad. But sadly, most of the forumers are unsufferable idiots with toasters for computers. They bash on opinions, dox forumers they don't like and even more injustifiable actions.

I bet when you got your eyes on the section title which reads "What NOT to post" you probably thought stuff like "My mom just farted" or your adress or personal info. That's not the case. Having a different opinion of others which get you bashed and harassed because the forumers think the TF2 Forums is only for people who agress with them. So, here's a bunch of posts on you shouldn't post so you wouldn't get bashed.

- Giving out your opinion on why i liked thing in TF2 is terrible (people will just think it's bait)
- Asking for help
- Asking for an obvious question
- Making a post on why you like a hated user
- And more

Any post that you make that isn't agreed or liked by that horrible community will just be called "bait, bait,bait". And then they will go to a moderator's profile and spam the post link like brats.

Well, you don't want to be harrassed by the community for having your own opinion right?. Well here are somethings you can post so that you can be liked. (This involves removing your ability to have your own opinion. You must follow everything or like everything the majority likes in order to not be called a baiter".)

So here's what to POST if you don't want to be harassed.

- Say a negative opinion on a hated user

- Make a post wishing for a over powered weapon to be nerfed

- Anything the majority likes

Basically, post these things if you do not wish to be harassed. Because in the TF2 forums. You will get harassed for having your own opinion. People in the TF2 forums are not open to opinions and will make a reply filled with rage and anger if you disagree with them.
