Forum Etiquette

From Penguinrpg

I decided to write this section to alert people of what to do and what not to do in the forums. The forums are a great addition to the game. They can be used for anything from talking with the community to selling your Cubes. Hopefully this should prevent some… Unwelcome behavior…

[edit] General Posting

If you have ever posted in ANY forum before, you should be able to figure this part out on your own. I’ve just added this because some people need a reminder... “Flaming”, or rude, personal attacks on someone are really not necessary. If someone’s being an idiot, call them on it, but no need to get vulgar. Profanities are generally frowned upon; we do have some younger players. Basically, use common sense. Good grammar/spelling is always appreciated.

[edit] Spamming

Spamming is bad! Creating multiple, similar threads, posting several times in a row, and posting useless things that have nothing to do with anything are all types of spamming. Of course, there are other, more subtle types of spamming, but if you use common sense, you should have no problem staying out of trouble.

[edit] “Thread-Jacking”

Hi-jacking is the stealing of an air plane (in simple terms…), and so one could probably guess that “thread-jacking” is the stealing of a thread… This is very bad, just like spamming. An example of thread-jacking would be: Jeff creates a thread in the Trading/Swapping forum saying that he wants to sell 100 Ice Cubes for 150 coins each. Bill comes in to Jeff’s thread and says “No, buy them from me. I will sell them for 100 coins each.” Usually, it isn’t that easy to read, I just made it nice and proper.
