Forums Rules/Tips and tricks

[mr_pendle]

You were one of my favourite mods, but now I've just lost a lot of respect for you.

How do you lose respect over one post, which was pretty much true anyways...?

If you do not agree with my comment I'm totally fine with that, not everyone shares the same opinion. However, at the time I wrote the comment I was simply annoyed by the thread as in my eyes it wasn't necessary to make a thread about it, because it's all explained in the rules.

Forum Tips and Tricks
Here are a few condensed forum rules, as well as some general advice for posting and browsing the forums!

Post some useful information that has a purpose or message.
---
Try to be serious at the appropriate times. Humor is okay, but don't over-do it.
---
You can tag people by putting an "@" (Shift+2) in front of their forum name, such as "@ ChadTheDJ"
---
Make posts that surprise and interest people; make them unique!
---
Do not like-spam, as it is unfair to regular members who put effort into their posts.
---
Don't post on a staff member's wall asking for them to read a Ban Dispute/Moderator Application/Abuse Report, as this will accomplish anything - they go through the reports and disputes in chronological order.
In addition, don't post a Ban Dispute/Moderator application/Abuse Report on their wall, as it is not the proper place to post it.
---
Try to be professional in your posts, as this will leave a good impression on people and can contribute towards gaining respect within the community.
Do not Necro-Post/Gravedig. Necro-posting is when an old (1 month since last post) thread that is no longer relevant is posted on.
---
Do not Multi-Post.
Multi-Posting is when a user sends multiple messages (2+) in a row, with little time in between. To avoid this, you can quote multiple people within one post, and you can also go back and edit your previous posts.
---
Don't advertise or post any links to rude, inappropriate, or potentially offensive websites or content.
Also, do not post links to other servers, networks, video games, or communities without reason, as that can be considered advertising.
---
Do not back-talk the staff.
If you feel that a Moderator is incorrect, contact a Senior Moderator. If you think a Senior Moderator is incorrect, contact an Administrator. If it is a minor, honest mistake, then politely correct them and move on.
---
Try to use regular grammar. Sometimes people struggle with grammar due to language barriers, age, or simply hitting the wrong key. If you aren't confident in your grammatical skills, a good idea is to proof-read it or have a friend review it for you.
---
If you intend to apply for a Staff position, try talking to a few current and ex-staff members in order to make sure that you're suited for the role, and also for tips and advice on how to apply.

A lot of people don't take the time to go through all of the rules - sure, they might "agree" to the rules by making a forum account and hitting some buttons that say they read the terms/conditions/rules etc., but be honest here... how many people actually do that when they are new to the forums?

Well, I made a few personal changes to the thread as quoted above, and just for you I added that line at the top

Also, what you said may have been considered rude by some, but in my opinion I think you were just being really, really blunt, to the point where it can also be called cruel honesty.

By your line of logic, since you said that he copied your thread, then you're literally calling your own thread pointless. GG, Logic.

Ture?

True* He made a typo.
