+**Lurking** is the practice of observing a community or social group, without speaking or actively participating. Lurking allows one to learn the social norms of said community, so that they may not utterly embarrass themselves when they open their mouth. Many basic community traits such as shared views, in-jokes, memes, rivalries, history, dramas and more, can be discerned by simply lurking. Some places have little patience for outsiders, and can be quite hostile to someone who has not taken the time to get a read on the community. Whenever you are in doubt, **lurking //more//** is always the safest bet.
+Lurking is an invaluable skill for newcomers to [[:anonymous|Anonymous]], as [[anonymous:AnonOps]] personnel have limited time and manpower to explain obvious things that could have easily been figured out by lurking more. This is especially important during espionage and intelligence gathering operations, where blending in with the crowd is crucial for survival and success.

 > **LURK MORE** (also **LURK MOAR**) is the standard response to any post displaying ignorance of an established meme, or just plain ignorance. Variants such as "More, motherfucker, do you lurk it?" are seen rarely.

 > True to /b/ form, the phrase LURK MORE has transformed into a somewhat overused meme in and of itself. Any user who is not 100% familiar with the most obscure 4chan in-jokes and asks for an explanation is often told to lurk more, regardless of how reasonable an expectation that might be. Worse still are those who advise people to lurk more and then proceed to offer inaccurate explanations for memes, meaning they themselves ought to take their own advice. This is becoming more and more common as /b/ grows in popularity. In a sort of perverse retaliation, longtime /b/ posters are beginning to deliberately spread misinformation to further muddy the waters.
