hey guys,
in the last couple weeks i've noticed a couple trends in this forum which i don't like.
1. don't post really, really controversial topics. religion, politics, stuff like that is hard enough to have a civil conversation about face-to-face, and on a gaming forum over the internet, good very rarely comes of it. if you want to chat with someone about these topics, please do it one-on-one and don't make a thread. if you have a question about what topic is okay to post about, and think it might be controversial, PM me or a mod and they will let you know if you can go ahead with it.
2. quantity DOES NOT mean quality. don't post dozens of replies that don't have any real meaning to them. your post count does not matter. if it bothers you to have a low post count, i'll disable the part of this forum that let's you see it. i want good discussions, not tons of one-line posts that say nothing.
3. making threads without searching to see if the topic has been created is spammish and will put you at the top of the list to get banned. USE THE SEARCH BUTTON. like halo 3? awesome. but we've talked about it. jump into that conversation -- you don't gain points by starting threads. and if you DO start a new thread, make sure the topic is actually worth talking about, and you aren't just doing it because you want your name under "created by".
4. please remember we are a varied community here, and don't post NWS stuff here -- be it graphic, sexual, violent, etc.
any questions, please post them here, and i'll try and answer. (these rules go for all other forums, i just see these issues the most here.)
thanks!
