The best tip for being a successful forum member is just being yourself. And just be smart. Post when you have something you feel is worth sharing. Don't post if you don't. If your post is going to tear someone down, don't post. If your post is humorous, be sure it's the right thread. Some people don't want humor on their thread, just serious discussion. Others don't mind. A little common sense and respect goes a long way. Lastly, forget about being a successful member! What is success anyways? A high rep bar? I don't think so. Everyone I know with a high rep bar wishes rep could be removed.
In other words, just use the brain God gave you, and treat everyone as you want to be treated, as God commanded.
