Rules and Information [UPDATED! READ]

[merfed]

NEW RULE. YOU NOW GET 1, Show off thread per user name. All others will be merged.

• * Don't make consecutive posts, just edit your most recent one if you have something new to say, unless someone else has made a new post in the same thread since then.
• * Tag your posts [WIP] or the likes
  
• * Try to understand what people are trying to say if they have a different opinion to you, or are trying to give you some friendly advice. Shouting back at them really doesn't help at all, you just get less respect and chances are your opinions will be ignored in the future.
  
• * Don't resurrect old topics. When people stop posting in a topic, it's usually a sign that everything of value has been said. Thus, if nobody's posted in a topic for more than a week or two, consider it dead and don't post in it (unless you have an important follow-up or question exactly on-topic, and the topic is still recent). If you post just a comment on something somebody said ... chances are no-one will care because it's been a while since everything was posted.
  
• * And conversely, don't topic spam. Creating 5 new topics a day is probably over the top unless you genuinely have 5 completely unrelated questions that need answering and there's no recent threads you could ask them in.
  
• * See that Search button at the top of the page? Consider giving that a go ... we don't mind too much if people ask questions that've come up before, but for others, a five minute search on old topics might get you all the answers and more that you need.
  
• * Smilies have a place in a message board, but too many can be annoying. If the amount of smileys you post is more than 1/5 of your word count, you may consider cutting some of them.
  
• * If somebody posts artwork asking for advice don't just post "It's great" or "It sucks". Always tell them something they could do to improve it, which is much more helpful. Constructive critics please.
  
• * Everyone interprets things differently than others depending on their culture, life experiences, and many other factors. If somebody posts a message that could be considered insulting or offensive to you, don't immediately flame them.
  
• * Don't insult people about anything unless you have a good reason to. Report to an administrator or a moderator if someone has insulted and/or threatened you.
  
• * When starting a new thread, use an informing title so the reader knows what the subject is, as opposed to say "Something for anyone whos interested."
  
• * Anything in the main section that has a MPQ for download WILL be deleted.
