How To Create A Blog
There are two ways of creating blogs.

If you want to directly turn a post from a thread to a Blog, at the bottom of the post, where it says "Blog This Post", click it, and your selected reply will be quoted and published as a blog.

OR

If you want to Write a blog entry, Click Community
Attachment 130960

Scroll Down, Click Blogs
Attachment 130963

Next, Click Create New Post
Attachment 130970

Next, Write your blog entry
Attachment 130971

After you finished writing your blog, you will have three options:
Save Draft: Your entry will be saved as a draft, which you can later edit then post
Preview: You can see a preview of what your blog entry will look like, once its posted. (Note: Clicking Preview does not Post the entry)
Post Now: Your blog entry is posted

Articles

Articles are similar, in way to Blogs, except that only STS staff can post to here (Currently, Spacetime Games is the only STS staff member that has posted entries to here)

Creating/Joining Forum Groups

Forum Groups are like "mini Sub-Forums" on this main STS forum.
There are setting which you can select when creating a group

Creating Forum Groups

This is what the forum group that I use to write guides looks like:
Attachment 103132

Group Category:
This basically means "What game is this group for?"
This will make searching for that group easier.

I listed mine as "uncategorized" which means, it does not apply to any One game.

There are 3 types of groups:
1. Invite Only= You can only join if the person that maintains that group invites you
2. Moderated= You can request to join the group, but the person that maintains the group MUST approve your request first, before you can join.
3. Public= Anyone can join, no request to join required.

There Are Two Options On Creating Threads (called "messages"):
1. The creator of the group can decide whether people within the group can post messages or not.
2. The creator can decide if people must join first to view content, or that anyone, in the group or not, can view the content.

Joining A Group:

1. Click on "Community", From the drop-down menu, click "Groups"
Attachment 103131

2. (This is my group) This is an example of a forum group
Attachment 103135

Notice how mine has two options: "Edit" and "Delete"
Because I maintain that group, I see those two options.

For people who are NOT the owner of that group, it will show buttons like this:
Attachment 103134
Or it may show nothing (if it is an invite only group)

Adding Quotes

Quotes work like this
Note: delete the space between the brackets "[" or "]" when writing quotes

[ quote=<Name Here> ]
This Is A Quote Of What Someone Said
[ /quote ]

It will be shown like this:

How Do I reply with quotes?
There are two ways to do that:

For quoting one (1) person: click the "Reply With Quote" button.
Attachment 103129
For quoting more than one (1) person: click the Attachment 103130 button to add quotes, then on the final person whom you are quoting, click the "Reply With Quote Button" to reply to those selected posts.

Adding Friends

There are two ways you can add friends.

The 1st way is to Send Another Forum-er a Friend Request.

Attachment 110602

Click "Add As Friend"
You have now sent a forum friend request to another forumer

The 2nd way is to Accept Another Forum-er's Friend Request.

Attachment 110601

You will have to click the check box next to their forum avatar, then click "Save Changes"
You are now friends with the other forumer.

The Ignore List

Sometimes on forums, you may come across someone who is being mean to you and you want to be able to ignore what they message you.

Step One:
Go to Settings
Attachment 110498

Step Two:
Scroll down and look at the menu on the left, click "Edit Ignore List"
Attachment 110499

Step Three:
Add the name of the person you want to ignore, then click "Ok"
Attachment 110500

Infractions/Bans

Bans mean that your ingame (or forum) account is not allowed to log in for X amount of time (ranges from 3 days to Forever)

How can I avoid a ban?
1. Follow the STS Terms of Service, and STS Forum Rules.

A few other rules (Applies to Forum and Ingame):
1. No profanity (meaning bad words) is allowed

2. Do NOT attempt to Scam others
Types of Scams: Guide to Scams HERE
(Credits to Prynce)

3. Buying/Trading/Selling of accounts is NOT allowed.

Infractions are forum private messages that a STS Moderator sends to the user who had broken a Forum Rule.

It is considered a Warning and if the person continues to break rules, their account will be banned for a certain amount of time (from 1 day to Forever)

I’m very new to using the forums, and first I want to thank you for this very helpful guide!

I have a question about blogs. I really want to start a blog, however when I follow the instructions listed above, I do not see any options to create or post a new blog. Do I need to meet the 10 post reply requirement to be able to post a blog too? Do I need to create a blog somehow? I’ve looked all through the forums since I created my account and I can’t seem to figure out what I’m doing wrong.
