A Guide to Forum etiquette
This is a guide on how to post on the forums and gain
respect from your fellow forum users, Please listen to this guide
Posting
When you post PLEASE don't post two messages at the same
time, there is a edit button under the first message use that.
It's annoying and quiet a few people around here dislike it,
Don't do it!
Grammar
I understand not everyone is from a english speaking country, BUT Spelling
and grammar get you taken much more seriously around here.
If you're writing a thread, please use good grammar (or the best you can)
because without it you look childish and you're less likely to be taken
seriously
Language
The forums are ENGLISH speaking. So please post in english, not everyone
understands the same language as you, if you want to talk
with someone else, use a private message NOT a thread.
Also, The forums are PG-13 like the servers. Absolutely NO
swearing or foul language on them or any of your posts. Be nice.
Manners
Remember kids, Manners maketh the (wo)man. Be kind, be respectful
(Except to bacca's) and don't be rude. It's common etiquette to
follow people back who follow you on the forums, and if you see something
you like, give them a Like! It helps! It also makes you look nicer and
like a better person.
Spamming/Flaming
Do NOT spam or flame a thread. This WILL get you banned off the forums and
possibly the servers! Spamming threads is pretty self explanatory, don't post loads
and loads of posts in one thread at the same time.
Flaming is where you TRY to start a argument in a thread. It's not funny, it's not smart.
DONT do it.
Posting Threads
When you post a thread, think to yourself is this something people want to
read? and is IMPORTANT enough to make a thread about?
If not just PM the person, Or make a status update.
When you're creating the thread itself, Please, PLEASE, search the forums
if it had been posted previously. If it has just comment on that. No need to spam
threads
Necro-Posts
If you see a 3 month old post on funny cat pictures on the 25th page of
the forums PLEASE dont post on it, It brings it to the front and annoys
people, filling the new threads with old pointless ones.
Trolling
Dont.
