SpyroForum Guide

[glow=orange]SpyroForum Guide[/glow]
v1.4

Hello, spyroforum member! Welcome to the SpyroForum guide.

This guide will help you get familiar with the rules of our forum.

Contents
1. You're New! What Do You Do?
2. SPAM Policy
3. Acceptable Forum Behavior
4. Posting Policy

.: 1 - You're New! What Do You Do? :.
OK, so you have just signed up. Whats first? Well, i would like to start off saying that you Should Not make a "Hello! I'm New!" thread. We Have the introductions thread for introducing yourself. There is NO NEED for a "Hello I'm New!" thread. Also, if you need help, you may PM me.

.: 2 - SPAM Policy :.
Our SPAM policy is VERY clear..

You SPAM, and I will Kill that puppy. (OK, maybe I won't, but if you SPAM I'll get mad  )
We do have a special place for people with the urge to SPAM. It is called the SPAM Forum. It Is a very magical place. You can say (almost) anything and get away with it. Nothing totally inappropriate though!  8) .

I would also like to add that if you see some spam out of designated areas, please use the Post Reporting feature , located at the top of every post. It will make it easier for me, and the moderators to find the spam and delete it. NEVER reply to spam. Just report it.

.: 3 - Acceptable Forum Behavior :.
We have things we call acceptable forum behavior and unacceptable forum behavior. Acceptable forum behavior includes staying on topic, replying in a constructive manner, and making your posts legible. Use proper English. You can misspell, but don't make a post like this:

LOwls, the newst spyro gme is lik the bezzed evor!!!

That will get you a warning. Also, we do NOT talk in 1337 (Only I can talk in 1337!)

We also do not believe in "slips of the mouth", because you are obviously typing, not talking and it is much easier to accidentally swear when talking then typing. Please keep your vulgar language to your self, we do not want nor need it here.

.: 4 - Posting Policy :.
Go a head and post! Just don't make posts in places (Other than the SPAM thread) that don't contribute to the overall wellness forum. It gets really annoying and wastes my web server space.

Trolling (Trying to get people mad at you) Is strictly forbidden. If you start trolling, you WILL receive a ban.

We do not allow advertising of personal websites here. You may link to professional sites, but you must keep personal sites relegated to signatures and/or profiles if you'd like to share them.

Also, please don't post pictures over the 600 x 600 resolution because it makes the threads look weird and takes too long to load for our dial-up users. Please simply link to the images. Also, don't put more than 2 images in your signature. It makes the pages too long at takes too long to load. Here the the ideal signature sizes:

Also, if you are a registered user with a account, please, do not post as a guest. Please take the time to make our forum look better by posting in your regular account. It takes only seconds to login. Thanks. Please, do not ask for ROMs on this forum. You may NOT PM a member to see if he/she knows where to get roms. If you do, I will delete the thread/post the moment i see it and there could possibly be some consequences.

OK, so that concludes our Little lesson in forum posting. Remember, this is subject to change at any time, so check back often!

Happy posting,
Spyrorocks, and the rest of the spyroforum administration.
