Rules
See https://8ch.net/qresearch/rules.html
——————————————————————————————————————
Posting
—See Rule 2 before posting a new bread. New breads must either be General Breads or Topical Research breads. Blogposts, rants, questions/replies/threats to Q, senseless garbage, will be deleted regularly. This board is strictly for research purposes. Keep your personal anecdotes on Reddit and Twitter. Breads must have at least 750 characters in initial post for creation.
—To reply to another post, click the post number at the top right of the post. The Quick Reply box will appear and auto-populate the main field with the number you clicked. Simply write your response underneath/alongside it.
—All external links are automatically broken, that's why you can't click them. You don't need to insert a space within your links. Only internal links are clickable.

Tips
—Do not complain about the advertisements here. BO has no control over them and has explained countless times that they are catered to the other users of the site (Not QResearch board). Ads have been keeping 8chan alive for all of us to use, so just leave it alone. Use an AdBlocker if you absolutely can't stand them.
—Use the catalog rather than the index for navigation between breads.
Catalog: https://8ch.net/qresearch/catalog.html
Index: https://8ch.net/qresearch/index.html
—It is always a good habit to check the ID of the anon you are replying to. Read their previous posts, to gain a better idea of who you are responding to, before potentially making yourself look like an idiot.
—Use CTRL+F <Search termon the catalog page to find specific breads.
—DO NOT ENGAGE SHILLS. This has been said a thousand times, but is still ignored. The more you respond to them, the more you encourage them to keep posting and derailing the bread. Starve them from attention.
—Threads that are fallen off are stored in the archive. There is a link to the archive at the top-right of the catalog. https://8ch.net/qresearch/archive.html
—Remember that there is a button on the bottom-right of the quick-reply box to "Show post options & limits". Here you will be able to embed a video to your post, spoiler images, or easily sage your post.
—Reposting is shitting up bread. Anons do check other breads than the general.
—Have a look at the options menu at the top-right of the page. Explore and modify the settings to suit yourself.

—Use [code] tags to bypass infinity formatting. Example. See pic related.

No need to screenshot the FAQ page this way. Better yet, use [aa] tags.
