    Ever since the forum opened up, I've been noticing that there are a lot of low quality posts that defy common sense. They always bump, use terrible grammar, beg, etc. There's the posting guidelines, but let's be honest - no one reads them. I think there should be some sort of FAQ about what and what not to post for the newer members.

    I can spend time making some clear list of DO and DON'T but as you said, if people don't read rules, I doubt they will read another list with them.

    Golden rule is:
    Use common sense when posting and don't be silly.

    this is less of a forum issue and more of an issue with the world in general

    "Ever since the world opened up, I've been noticing that there is a lot of low quality speech that defies common sense. These people always interrupt, use terrible grammar, beg, etc. There's social guidelines, but let's be honest - no one seems to abide by the them. I think there should be some sort of FAQ about what and what not to say for the newer humans"

    Well as the game gets more and more popular you are going to get these kinds of people, the worst thing we could do is scare them away.

    Great idea :D /s

    And then they could just tell the others that this forum is not good, that the community just bashes everyone etc. etc.

    It would be hard to actually change "those kind of people", since they just got used to that kind of posting, OR don't know how to behave on forums. You won't change that, unless you'd have really really hard moderators. Or pop ups with guidelines, but those would be too absurd to function here

    Found a small "bug" Lol.PNG

    OT: It can not be the solution running afterwards those people who bumb threads post stupid stuff. You cannot just say: here make a small test so we can trust you or not. It would be kinda cool leading the new people to another site where all the rules are to find on. Then like 5 minutes later they get an e-mail with a code so they can noramly login all the time. Or something like a testing time (do you say that like I did??)
