Hey there! This is my guide on Sub Forums!
Even though there is a little description beneath the name of sub forums, I wanted make a guide as many people post in the wrong section.
First of all there are 11 types of Sub Forums.

-PL Announcements
-PL New Players
-PL General Discussion
-PL Contests
-PL Player vs Player ( PVP ) Discussion
-PL Guilds
-PL Player Guides
-PL Crafting
-PL Trader's Market
-PL Suggestions & Feedback
-PL Technical Issues & Bugs

In this guide I'll try to clarify and differentiate them and I'll also show how to make a thread and what are the options. You can even post in this thread if you have any difficulty to decide where you should post..

1: PL Announcements
Basically PL Announcements are some important things we have to know about the game.. Like an update or new things which come. Though we cannot post here, but we sometime complain to mods,admins,devs etc. About things which are already announced here! It is a total waste of time of devs to reply in threads of complaining. And most of the things are also shown in Pocket legends news.

2: PL New Players
Here the new players can tell about that they joined the game and maybe need some advice! But if you make a new char, or if you changed your name won't come here. In this section we can welcome people in their thread.. This thread is not only for welcoming but helping them. Sometimes people ragequit or quit because they couldn't figure out something.. In this situation the players can post in this section, No matter even it's a very silly question, you are new so free feel to ask and explore this game.

3: General Discussion
Nothing to say much in this, just everything which doesn't come in other sections and is/sometimes is not related to PL comes here! Like- I love this game..

4: Contests
This Section can make your life.. In this section, you are doing a contest in others compete and you have a certain amount.. If you don't have a amount to give away as prize then majority won't participate in your contest! Sometimes normal players make the contest or the devs/mods/admins post it! ( A guide of Chicken telling about devs if you don't know who they are? ) http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?52451-D-THE-official-Devs-Profiles-Place-!-D

Tired Will update with more info and some pics..

Actually ...I think general discussion is about all things PL related. If it's not PL related it should go in the Off topic section...just saying.

http://www.spacetimestudios.com/forumdisplay.php?19-Off-Topic-Discussion

And no disrespect intended...but is this guide really necessary? I mean, if you can read, surely it's not that difficult to post in the right section? Or is that just me being picky? And anyone who can't post in the right section isn't really going to search for your guide first either. Just seems redundant. Sorry.

Will edit this if I am a minority though.

I agree with you on this... I mean arnt things self explanatory? Some time people mess up but just message a dev to move it.

If people don't read the little description for the sub forum (which does give a clue what's going on that section) I doubt they will read this.

I think what we are trying to say is that it is a nice idea, but your target audience is wrong. People who already know where to post, post. People who don't know where to post, or cannot read the descriptions below the sections that STS have previously written and not going to use this thread.

Well, since this is a supposed guide about sub-forums, don't you think you would have posted in the right forum in the first place?

We are not allowed to post in guides, first we have to post it in general discussion then ask samhayne to transfer :)

What's ironic is that this should be in the guide section...

Eww. Another guide era?

This guide is useless.

People who fail to comprehend into which sub forum they should be posting won't read this. Simply because they are so derpy that they do not know what sub forum means regardless of even going to look at this guide.

if someone can't tell what the forums mean by subforums/names then they shouldn't be on the forums.

+1 to another useless guide

Someone should write a guide on How to write a helpful guide.

Anyone? Anyone? It's up for grabs.

Happiness, many people post in wrong section, if my thread goes good, if people read it they will stop their confusion .. Actually it should stay in General Discussion or New Players because as a new Player I wouldn't look at Guides first. And maybe an title for it which underlines that its important for newbies to read. Thats all of my critic. All rest is great I 100% support the idea of this Guide because I saw a lot of things posted in wrong Sub-Forum. Thanks for your effort.

Here, just a day after your list was posted..http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?83672-SELLING-65-set
Were not saying lists like this will never help anyone, folks are pointing out by and large it's not gonna effect what people do.
If the responce is "well if it helps just one person..." then my advice would be to weigh that against the nagative responces, which is greater?
Take it easy.

Take it easy. If it just helps one or two players we will have like 10-30 wrong posts less. So i think it should be worth it.

When someone posts in the wrong section, I don't see a backlash of negative responses.
When an unnecessary "guide" is made, there is there is a lot of negative response.
I'll let it go at that, not arguing, I think a point is being missed is all.
