Some helpful tips to help not getting yelled at or getting called names or getting made fun of. This will also make you look like and educated person who doesn't say something like "u r can maek a australan kangroo?" or "i came hear for th dowloads"

1. Do not EVER spam, unless you want to get banned or annoy people. This doesn't include the spam forum.
2. USE GRAMMAR!! Geez. It's not like it'll take a year to type something using good grammar.
3. Don't send people a few thousand PMs asking for downloads or something when you join. It's EXTREMELY annoying. Especially to designers when your asking for them to make you something.

Feel free to continue the list. :D

And no, that isn't a copy of the r00ls.

4. When making a request for a graphics designer to make you a banner, please, READ THE REQUEST FORM before you make a request. It's extremely annoying when you assume that graphics designers can somehow read your mind, knowing what you want just like that.
Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

Don't post to often in the normal RP's, if you want to be cool, go to the "classic" section, there's some REALLY good ones there.

9. Read through a topic before asking a question. Chances are it's already been asked and answered.

On this, mostly, formal forum Vocabulary is often the difference between being a well respected member and the average Joe. Words like 'ur', '4' instead of for, ect.

And Grammer is everything!

11. When commenting on a person's work, do not just write something like "That is cool, I like it". Please, be more specific and actually mention what you like about the person's work.

12. When posting in the Classic Roleplays, please try to have at least 3 sentences. Detail is the difference between the Classic and Normal Roleplays.

Forever it'll be.

13. When commenting in a designer's thread don't just see the pictures they post, READ what they say, sometimes you might leave out some important specifications or miss to give credit for the right person.

14) If for any reason you get into a debate with someone (not a flame war, or argument, but a formal debate), please do some research into what the opposition is trying to convey to you before making a rebuttle. It gets frustrating when someone enters a discussion with no knowlege about the matter at hand. It also results in your own self-pwning.

15) If a download is not released, but you manage to obtain the content, dont bother trying to distribute it or edit it or w/e. People wont like you any more for doing so. Theyll only like the downloads you present to them. Many more will just hate you more for breaking one of the rules in the Sacred Unwritten Code of Designing (SUCOD).

16) Do not anger he who is reffered to as Omniryujin, his other names and his associates. You will most likely be pwnt in more ways than one. =P (lol i just couldnt resist! XD)
