iii) Posting Ettiquette
Unwritten "rules" that should be unwritten but often go broken - The etiquette of posting! (your mamma shoulda taught you these D: heart Make sure that you are not reposting a popular topic - if you see another like the one you want to create - go there instead
heart If you want to post on someone's threads but you -
a) have no idea what they are talking about
b) think the post is too long
c) don't have what pokemon they want etc.
DO-NOT simply write something like TL;DR (too long; didn't read) or "sorry, but I don't have that" If you have no Idea -then don't post - it's rude and unnecessary D:< If you truly want to to post - make your own thread or simply find a topic you know
biggrin heart Don't advertise for other guilds here please - keep the ads in your sig
heart if you ever feel someone is breaking the rules - don't mini mod - tell a crew member right away
heart It's unnecessary to bump your post if you're on the top of the first page of posts - if you feel the want to bump then visit our
Official Bump Page! heart At least try to be literate - chatspeak is ok once in a while but it hurts the eyes D: several other noobish things that get annoying are >
"yelling" (posting in all caps)
Excessive "l337"/chatspeak "i liek 2 play pkmn" D:
Excessive emoticons
Activity concern - In an effort to keep our guild an active community - We'd like it if you join to post at least once in your first week and at least twice a month - That's not asking much! Mind you - this is to keep the guild a place where people want to hang out - if you don't post the guild dies! Remember! This is a forum! And as such, it needs new posts to live!
