Now take the time to read over some of these guidelines, they will help you from getting into trouble.
Spelling and Grammar
Is it really that hard to use post using real English? This isn't instant messaging, you have time to type out a well thought out post. Posting something like: “lol guiez I have recon and ar remuve do I gud nurfer pwnz” will get you no respect. On a forum the only way people can make judgment on who you are is in the way you type, so if your typical posting habits consist of mashing your face onto the keyboard, people will believe that you're stupid and they will treat you like an idiot.
Useful topics
Before making a topic, ask yourself this question: has this topic already been made? Use the search function to find out or check the stickied threads. If you're feeling egotistic about your brand new toy and you want to show it off, take a picture and post it in the Post pictures of your guns thread. Avoid making whole topics asking where to buy a specific gun. Look through the Available Nerf blasters in Australia thread, instead. If you can't find it, then the shops in Australia probably don't sell it.
If a thread is LOCKED or DELETED for any reason at all, do not create another thread addressing the same content. It was locked or deleted for a reason.
Relevant topic titles
Make sure you use relevant titles on your topics. Be specific about what is in the thread, so it makes it easier to search for the topic in the future. Instead of putting something like Recon or Pissy luser gun cs-69; use something like: Recon Brass Breaching Guide.
Bumping/Necroing
Make sure you check the date of the last post in a topic, before you post in it. Any longer than 4 months and you'd better not do it. If its something like an old writeup and you need some help, your better off sending that person a PM. There are some threads that are none Necroable, one such example is the Good traders feedback thread.
Signatures
Keep them text only. Why? It keeps the pages loading faster.
Advertising Forums Pertaining to Nerf
Advertising other forums and using this place as free banner space is a no-no on this site. We're not going to tell everyone off from making little communities being set up in their own time. These measures are only in place to prevent plugging for the sake of plugging. We're fine with people listing any links that may pertain valuable information and insight to modifications and whatnot; it's only a crackdown on people who try to advertise other websites to invite people to join their little communities.
Multi Posting
Basically, it means posting more than once in a row. Its best to avoid this, but in some cases it'll be allowed if you have a good reason.
Eg:
I need help with moddding my recon, what does this piece do?
Oh don't worry I worked it out.
But if its something like this:
I need help with moddding my recon, what does this piece do?
Please Help!!!!!1111!!!!one1111uno11111!!!!!1
That is not allowed.
But the most important rule is:
