You are who you are. Everyone will have a unique username that they take, literally, everywhere. If you're a tosser on one site, you can't make a new account, on any site, and suddenly, your online actions have online consequences.
There are some rules of the Internet that I think should stay:
As Rules 1 & 2 of the Internet originally came from Fight Club, they retain their original purpose: to keep new people out. Newfags don't understand /b/, and bastardize everything they touch in it. Also, the August Exception only serves to make Rules 1 & 2 into a useless declaration to keep potential raid targets from entering /b/.
Furthermore, trolling /b/ is like pissing in an ocean of piss. Average people who venture into /b/ are driven out by an autoimmune system of guro, racism, foul language, and constant trolling welcomed warmly with easy to insert, old and shitty meme suppositories.
Unfamiliar newfags that completely and arrogantly ignore these rules cause time-treasured (or otherwise) memes to be stolen by Jews. When newfags follow The August Exception, shit like the Longcat Crusade, this Gaia Online faggotry, and this I Can Has Cheezburger? shit happens.
Rules 1 & 2 apply everywhere. DON'T FUCKING FORGET IT. This means no /b/ T-shirts, no /b/ posters, no /b/ tattoos; nothing that promotes or advertises /b/. Promoting or advertising 4chan is something a bit different, but considering faggots usually walk up to you and ask "lolwats 4chon?!?!?!?!" it's probably not a good idea to talk about 4chan either.
Rule 11 - All of your carefully picked arguments can be easily ignored
Rule 20 - Nothing is to be taken seriously
Rule 51 - There will always be even more fucked up shit than what you just saw
Rule 57 - Nothing is sacred
These were the things everyone should know while browsing the internet, the thing I'd add is:
Don't follow links posted by people you don't know, except if it's on a trusted site (Escapist, I'm looking at you)
Rule 75: If a meme lasts for more than two months, like the Twilight saga or Justin Bieber Hate, for fuck's sake let it die. Alright, Vampires shouldn't sparkle, cool, we get it now. Leave it the fuck alone now, no one cares.
