Okay cupcakes, listen up. We know all of you want invites. We know many of you are excited about the upcoming release. That is not an excuse to spam up the forums with redundant and useless threads. Do our Moderators a favor and follow these simple guidelines.
(1) Before creating a new thread, ALWAYS click the search button (next to "Forums") and see if there are any similar threads.
(2) If you find a similar thread, post your comments in that thread. DO NOT create a new thread. If you do, it will get closed or merged with another thread and waste the moderators time.
(3) No begging for invites. The best way to get an invite is to be nice to the other forum members, hang out in the community chat threads, and avoid being rude or unpleasant.
(4) Don't be creepy towards our female forum members. That will get you ignored, warned, or outright banned. No one likes a creeper. If you do not follow this rule, you will be on par with this guy. You really don't want that.
(5) If you want to tag someone one use the @ sign and then their forum name, with no space. However, do not do this for no reason. If you tag someone, make sure you have a valid reason.
(6) DO NOT PM (private message - the envelope icon) people unless you have a good reason to do so. It's just rude.
(7) Get an avatar. You can use almost any jpeg, but don't be that creepy guy who uses a photo of a hot girl in the hopes of getting an invite. Pick something that represents you, as long as it's not offensive.
That should get you going. Have fun and don't be a jerk. In short order you will move beyond being a cupcake and into a productive forum member.
