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:

  1. To show you are even looking up any game instructions AT ALL
  2. To let commenters see if you ignored their game recommendations or not
  3. To pinpoint terrible game resources you are watching.
  4. 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.
