So I've been seeing some new forum buddies around!
Some are nice; some are annoying. So here's a guide on how to "forum" decently and not get a bad reputation from failing the first day.
So here's some things I failed on my first day and some more things I will add from months of being part of the insane PL general community~
1. Do not necro posts.
2. Do not ask to necro posts.
3. Do not think about necroing posts.
4. Do not spam threads.
5. Do not post a thread for every single thing you think of.
6. Don't post multiple times in a row, ALWAYS edit when you can.
7. Do NOT beg.
8. Do NOT think of begging.
9. Do NOT make off-topic or threads in the wrong section of forum.
10. Don't make posts that don't make sense at all.
Example:
11. Try using attachments, simply using IMG codes take forever to load.Thread topic is on how to kite.
Person starts topic by asking, "How does a mage kite with an XBOW?"
Random poster comes and says, "Kites are rhombus-shaped objects usually made of cloth and are used by people for general entertainment. They are shoved through the sky with the powerful force of a wind. Once, Benjamin Franklin went and flew a kite in a lightning storm. Suddenly, he realized that...."
12. Do NOT ask to be GoA or spam the thread saying "how you helped this way and that way."
13. Do not advertise. If you want to make a character on forums and spam some advertisements, go look up the definition of "no lifer."
14. Sorry, we don't allow big ugly humanoid things with gignatic hands and hold a club.
No trolls please.
15. Don't make horrible guides like this one.
