badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Ok this isn't as anglicised as it could be.
Hunan and Hubei wouldn't be Lake North and Lake South, true Anglo convention would have it as Norlake and Sulake like Norfolk and Suffolk.
Similarly, Hainan wouldn't be Seasouth, it would be Sussea.
Ningxia wouldn't be Firthslot, Ning means peaceful, Firth is an anglicised version of "Fjord" meaning estuary. Summerset or Summerside is a better Anglo name. (Edit: I misread Frith as Firth, whoops. But odd they used Frith here but not for Xi'an, which would be Wesfrith)
Qinghai being Bluesea is very boring. 青 can mean blue or green, but also azure and cyan (as well black and purple). Azuresea sounds cooler. But 青 also means verdant or lush. Verdantsea (since it's rolling green grass) is closer to the actual name.
Heilongjiang being Blackwater River sucks. Black Dragon River is the literal translation. Black Dragon Bourne is the coolest translation (yes I know Bourne is technically a stream not a river).
