Time for one of these, it seems a new flood of noobs have come...
What is spamming?: Spamming is when you write, what does not need to be written, in simple terms. Even if you want help, four or five posts is SPAM.
What can I do to prevent spam?: Put on a war helmet. When you want to post, post ONCE. When you post, make sure to include ALL of your questions that you want answered. If you see something in your post, then reply reasonably. If they help you, please thank them. If they annoy you, then ask them why or if the situation gets hot, ask a mod for help. Moderators can help you, they're names are in silver at the top of the screen below title of the game.
Is this spam?: If you want to post a tip, then post it. But dont continually post tips, regardless of how good you think they are. Posting two or three tips adjent to each other bores people, and they most likely wont bother to look at them. If you want to post tips, post about two every day. Dont post all your tips in one day.
When can I post new?: If there is a chat in progress(people are still replying) then dont post a chat yourself. Wait until that one is over, then start afresh.
What are FanFics?: They are stories written by fans of games. They can really be about anything. You can post FanFics, but dont go overboard and post three or four every day. Make the chapters long to save posting space. Many of the gamers here are nice and friendly, but naturally somone isnt going to like it. Deal with it, dont lash out on the forum.
Can I post quizzes?: Many people love quizzes, as I know I do. Posting them makes the gamers in the forum think, and we love that. Dont post many in a row. And be creative with them, dont ask for every weapon in the game or every move in the game. Different quizzes attract more gamers. Try to put ALL of your questions in one post.
Someone is up to no good: Dont try and tackle the problem yourself, as I said, go to the mods. They will be happy to help you. And if you do get into fights which you shouldnt, just walk away, its just text. Most importantly remember that kids as young as eight or nine come here, respect their rights.
Thats all I can think of, please help to make GameTalk a BETTER place!
