Hi! My name is Proto. I am here to give you some simple reminders to help you around. Please follow the list and you'll get by quickly and make as much friends as possible! ^_^
1. Please use correct spelling.*
<i>Please don't use short-hand speak when you post. Not only is it annoying for some, but it also gives the impression that you can't type properly.</i>
2. Please don't get upset at anyone if they "offended" you.
<i>Even if they meant to offend you, it's better for you to ignore and/or warn them. Mods usually know what to do and in almost all cases, do take care of these disputes quickly as possible.</i>
3. If you're upset at a staff member's decision in whatever case (such as warning you in a thread for whatever you may have done wrong), please don't post a thread about it.
<i>Most likely, the thread will get closed immediately, and if you continue making threads like so, you may get banned. It's better for you to PM the staff member in question with any complaints you may have. If you flame the staff member, you will most likely get banned.</i>
4. Limit the number of smilies in your post. :tongue:
<i>If you have too many smilies in your post, that gives the impression that you're not serious in your post. A simple :p or :rolleyes2 or :) or :D or :( or whatever smiley you decide to use will be sufficient. :)</i>
5. In a debate thread, don't take things the other poster says in dispute of your post.
<i>Doing so may take things personal, and you may flame the person for not agreeing with you, and you could get banned. It's ok for people to disagree on topics. If everyone agreed, life would be boring! </i>
6. If you're unsure that the topic of a thread you may make in the future has been done or not, please use the Search feature!
<i>Trust me on this. Mods will likely close your thread on first sight with a link to the other thread, thus making you feel stupid for not looking hard.</i>
7. Please check out the chatroom at least once a month.*
<i>Quite simple! If you have mIRC, please join #eoff in irc.ffchat.net:6669 or you could use the java chat.</i>
* Not really necessary.
Anyway, I'm sure there are more reminders that you guys can also add to help others. :) Thanks.
