>im scared of being banned and having my post deletedYOU DON'T NEED TO OVERTHINK WHAT YOU POST. worst thing you can do is be scared. all you need to do is ask questions if you are unsure about something, lurk the board, and read the rules. the worst thing you can do is make a shit thread with a snappy one liner and break the rules on purpose. I have gotten banned before and I talked the situation out and was back on my feet in seconds with no real problem and no harm done. your post doesn't need to be a fuckin novel or a Picasso or whatever bullshit. just use your brain when you make a post and deal with the consequences.
>i dont know what to post i ran out of ideas, im bored, etc. Browse all the threads, and every post board by board. If that doesn't give you ideas, look online for archived 22 threads/posts and get ideas from that. Hell, there's so much content on the internet, you'll never be bored and there are still plenty of stuff to talk about. What you are is a lazy cat.
Record everything you see, hear and feel. Record audio, use a notepad digital or otherwise, write anything interesting or how you feel about things as they happen.
When you consume media, do so in a sense that makes it easy to digest and explain online. When I read a manga, comic, tv show I go by a single page, chapter, volume and episode per day based on what my brain can tolerate.
Remember to document and explain, not just mindlessly consume. Take pics and screenshot regularly if you feel that it can aid discussion or make a point or its just funny.
When I watch a tv show or movie, I take a break every 10 or so minutes to think about what I watch and to take note of anything interesting that I can then translate into content.
Make a fucking thread even if you feel that it would be ignored or something. I will personally go out of the way to review it, and I'm sure others will too. (this goes for really anything including music and vidya)
If you don't know what to watch, read etc then document what people here consume and make a list and watch/read it yourself.
Here is a kind of accurate list of anime featured on the site as being good.
https://bin.disroot.org/?7779bf9a914a35a8#A4d6f5JtfqLp2r7Zzbn2bJKB9u2sachPrt12BQX3CPwEThis is not a perfect list and I'll update it in the future with stuff I missed. I am going through one by one and reviewing the manga version of the titles featured in that list. so far, I knocked off azumanga and lain. If I can be productive, You can too. do not burn yourself out when posting and save posts and threads for later. I mostly post 5 times per day and save some extra posts for later or in case of an emergency. if i post more than 5, then I get burnt out and it takes me a few days to recover.
>i want more people to use the site and I don't know what to do.1 do nothing.
2 tell your friends and family you can trust.
4 word of mouth
3 advertise, but actually use your brain. look online on how to advertise. look online how 22chan advertised in the past and take notes on how people felt, what they liked and hated. you do not want to be a parasite and displace a nice altchan or a communities userbase just so we can be more active. we want friends, not enemies. you do not want to make enemies or be rude. you do not want to make a personalized ad like you see on billboards. you do not want to advertise on a community that has porn, a really bad history (doesn't matter if you like it, we don't like lolcows and sketchy admins) or anything 22chan is against. You probably should only deal with people who want to find a site like ours if it's allowed by that community.
If you don't know what you are doing or doing this out of desperation, then don't do it. If you feel that the staff will clean up whatever mess you make then you're a retard. (Worst case scenario just let the staff advertise)
I don't claim to be the expert nor am I expecting what I posted to be taken seriously, I'm just doing this for posterity.
