-**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, dramas and more, can be figured out by lurking. Some places have limited patience for outsiders, and can be quite hostile to someone who has not taken the time to get a read on the community. When in doubt, lurking more is always the safest bet.

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.

-This is especially important during espionage and intelligence gathering operations, where blending in with the crowd is crucial for long-term survival within the social sphere one is scoping out. Lurking is also an important skill for newcomers to [[:anonymous|Anonymous]] and rookie recruits in [[:op|Anonymous Operations]], as [[anonymous:AnonOps]] personnel have limited time and manpower to explain obvious things that could have been figured out by lurking more.

 > 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.
