A Guide On Making A Guide

[Griffinfan]

Hello Alterrans,
This guide is in a major need due to the fact that some new players feel the need to post guides on things that are self explanatory. I believe a long time ago someone made a guide on this but I couldn't find it, so here is a guide.

***Please don't give me rep for this, that is not the point of this guide***

-What is a Valid Guide?

A valid guide must cover a topic a lot of new players (and old ones alike) do not understand or could improve their game play with.
A valid guide has a lot of time poured into it and it is something that everybody can find useful.
A valid guide is not made to try and get rep easily, and it is not made to achieve ranks on the forums or get special shields.

-A UN Valid Guide

These are the guides that are ONE paragraph and are short, non discriptive, and describe useless topics.

For Example:

Valid Guide: How to make money using the CS!
Non Valid Guide: How to type Hello in chat!

-These guides include pleas for reputation and they are easily recognized as a guide that was made to get thanks and not made to help the players of PL.
-The topics of these guides are essentially common knowledge
-The guides are not thought out well, and they are sloppily written/editted


How to Make a Real Guide

-Make sure your spelling is right
-Use tools to make it more appealing such as Emotes, Bold, and Underline
-Make sure it is on a topic that is VALID (refer to the first section of this guide)
-Do not include many pleas for people to add to your reputation, you may get some reputation but you will lose respect from the community
-Do not beg in your threads for Developers to move it to the guide section. PM them.

This is not a guide meant to insult anyone, this is simply a player trying to get the community to realize what is classified as a "Guide" and what is simply, General Knowledge.

Thank you for reading,
If you find this helpful tell me through PM, Don't give me Rep that is not the point of the guide.
