ALL NEWBIES READThis thread is for all you Newbies (n00bs) to learn how to act or behave in this forum. Here we have gathered all the information you need to become like us.
First of all, Check the
FAQ which is at the top of this forum. There you can check all your problems and mostly anything you need to know is added there. But to become awesome, you need to know some other stuff!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, Here are some ideas so far of how you can improve your N00biness:
1.
When you get this ridiculous long link, which sometimes happen. You have to do like
This.OMG!! HOW DID THATZ HAPPEN?!?!?!Well, You gotta do like this: You make this: [url=*Link here*]And then you write something here[/url] Make sure you make no spaces between the brackets.
2.
The chat is good to know, And needs more people to inhabit it
Anyway, When your on the chat you can make this:
/me
The "/me" is a thing to write what your doing. When you write it you write "me is eating a pizza" for example. The text will be shown like this:
*glasspinne is eating a pizzait's pretty cool.
Also, If the page doesn't refresh even if you have Auto Refresh on, just push the refresh button or post a dot.
3.

- Here is something that is very helpful and convenient: how to make pictures clicky.
Have you ever seen a picture that you can click on, then sends you to a link? Well, that is a clicky picture. They are very helpful when making an entry to a contest, or just posting a picture of your creation so people can rate it up. Here's how it's done:
- Find the page on the Sporepedia for your creation.
- On a separate tab, click on the link button when posting on GAC.
- Copy the link of the Sporepedia page and paste it into the link box.
- Right click on the creation PNG and click "Copy image location"
- Type "[ img ]" with no spaces into the link description box, paste the image location, then type "[ /img ]" at the end.
- Enter it, and the long string of links should appear.
Now, if you preview, you should see the picture and be able to click on it. If the link is still remaining, go into the link and delete the symbol that looks like this: |
And it should look like this:

Ever seen someone do this?
Or this?
You may be thinking this: OMG thats awesome! How do I do it!?
Well, all you have to do is this: [ scroll ]*Words Here*[ /scroll ] for horizontal scrolling.
And: [ updown ]*Words Here*[ /updown ] for vertical scrolling.
I probably don't need to say this, but: Make sure there is no spaces!
You can also do this with Images, for example: My sig! All you have to do is: Follow the same instructions above but instead of words put an image! If you don't know how to put an image in your posts, click these magical words:
Here are some questions our previous members have asked, which has been answered. Please see these questions so you don't have to ask either!
Questions Answered:
Q: How can I link my Sig to my Spore page?
A: All you have to do is make the picture clicky, just like you do when making a post. In case you weren't paying attention or just didn't get the chance to see it, it's all explained here:
(Link above)
Q: Is it possible for me to use a Sig that's not online (I.E. not published)
A: No. You must paste the image location in order to use a signature, so you have to upload it somewhere on the internet in order to find the image location.
Q: Gelatino: Where can I upload it?
A: All you have to do is make an account on any image uploading website. I personally use Photobucket, but there are others out there, so just subscribe to one and it will give you the option to upload pictures. Then once you've uploaded the picture, right click and say "copy image location" and paste it into your sig with appropriate tags.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Index Chat Box:Here is the strict rules in the chatbox! Obey the rules! The Chatbox is located at the bottom of the forum index.
Here is what it should look like to you:
Here is what the chat itself should appear as when chatting:
Even when you are not in the chatbox, you can still see who is in the chat on the bottom of the Members and Legends area:
And when you are in the Chat it will also display members currently in the chat. It will display Online members in it and will display members that have been away from the chat for more then 10 mins.
Also, a neat little feature.. you there is built in BB code. So you can use it to make colored tex/bold/ECT.
Chatbox rules: 1: Avoid talking about, or referring to any sexual related topics. We do have younger users who would not like to hear about it.
Keep it clean. 2: No flaming: Flaming is insulting, abusing, and in general being a jerk to other users. So avoid calling others names, or anything that might cause potential emotional harm.
3: Don't be a
Don't troll anyone or just do troll-like things. It can cause a lot more harm than you might think
4: Do not post any questionable videos: This can be videos containing intense violence, language, or any content that could frighten, offend, or anger other users.
5: Be polite, be efficient, have a plan to make friends with everyone you meet: (You get a cookie if you understand the reference.) Basically, just be patient and polite to other users. They may not get your super awesome joke, or might not share your taste in certain things, but just don't be a jerk.
Disciplinary system(Re-Written by Drew980): There will be a strict set of rules, I have my own files on the computer ATM that contain a full history of all your actions. Actions that break the rules in anyway. So you could say I am stalking you, because I am.
1st warning: 1 day suspension from chatbox. (If you make an alternate account and continue to post in the chat with it, I will make it longer and suspend your alt too.)
2nd warning: 1 week suspension from chatbox and 1 week from posting, demotion from current rank. If you post on an alt, I will have you IP banned.
3rd warning: chatbox ban, month long posting suspension. Rank demoted to standard user, you can get the chatbox rights back, if I see that you can handle them.
4th warning and last: If you have broken many rules, time after time. I will have you permanently IP banned.
If the rules are harsh deal with them, if you feel they should be changed PM me.
Pray I don't have to go beyond the 1st 3 warnings. That's when your experience here gets unpleasant.
And that's all for now. Keep it clean and play nice, and you'll be fine.
So, i hope you have improved your N00bishness now. Now go, and have a nice day with our community!
