Small guide for new users

If you are a new user this post might be very helpful for you, as it will give you a brief introduction for this forum.

There is a few things you should know and do to avoid flame wars etc.

1: using the search bar
The search bar in this forum us going to be one of your new best friends. Many people ignore it and get hated for it afterwards. So if you have an idea or a question, look it up first.. Maybe someone asked this question already.. If not, feel free to post it here.

2: suggesting things
If you want to suggest a vehicle there is a thread called "Vehicle suggestions"
A lot of people don't know about that and cluster up the forums with a new thread that says "create Kerr plz" (bad example of how not to do it)
Just go and visit the vehicle suggestion thread.
Another thing that is sort of annoying is the multi-player thing. Everyone who is longer on the forum knows it. Everybody suggests multi-player. A lot of comments under these threads Say "already auggested" or "please use search bar next time". It's true. As stated above use the search bar before suggesting something.
Also.. Multi-player will come eventually. Noone knows when tho.

3: Knowing how to behave
A lot of new people behave like little kids.
They post random stuff that doesn't belong here at all or start random flame wars.. Sure not everybody is perfect and you might don't like his screenshots or something. But that is not a reason to behave like an 8 year old idiot to everyone.
Try to behave like everyone else. Be kind and helpful. Don't try to be special or have an excuse for everything you are doing. You will get hated for that eventually.

4: Making new threads
I have seen too many threads that are kind of... Weird. Basically everything is sitting in the title of the thread and then it says something like "as the title says" in the main part of the thread.

For example
Title: why can't my computer run this amazing game????

Main part : as the title says

That's definitely not how to do it.

You should keep the title as short as possible and describe your problem in a few words as well like:

Title: performance issues
Main part: my game is lagging all the time.....

Write a bit more and describe your problem for example as detailed as possible.
Same counts for general things, suggestions or mods.

That's everything for now. I hope it was helpful.. I will add a few things later.

 

Would be nice if BeamBot would send something similar to this to all new members.
