By the title it seems like you might be a student that's hit crunch time before a project is due?? (I could be wrong, it's been known to happen..)

Try and be more specific about the help you need. The title would have gained some more positive attention with something like, "Need help with animation commands".

In your message, try and be specific about the troubles you are having with those commands. Show some code examples of what you have so far. That goes a long way towards getting help faster.

Jacob, I rejected your posts because no-one here needs to know how old you are. If your posts follow the guidelines in the link that TDK gave you then everyone here will be most happy to help you out, and the more detail you give, the more likely you'll get the help you need.

I'm a forum moderator - one of many, as is TDK. When you are under post approval as you are now, the post won't go anywhere until a moderator has approved it ... like I have just done with this last post of yours.

When I said 'no-one here needs to know how old you are', I meant that no-one here needs to know how old you are. We do this to protect you (see the Acceptable Usage Policy, section 3.18). This was the only reason that I rejected your posts.

Anyway, chill out and don't worry about it - you haven't done anything that could get you kicked out of the forums.

Well, he claims to be Human, but there are other theories ...

No, all of the moderators are simply long-term users of DarkBasic, both original Classic and Professional, or FPSC, who have been given a little extra responsibility in helping to support the forums and the community - stopping spam, stopping arguments getting out of hand, stopping abuse etc.

You have simply come out of the post approval phase. This only exists so we don't get idiots arriving on the boards and instantly causing havoc/spamming etc.

Once we know you aren't in this category, your posts appear straight away without us having to read them first.

We do however have the ability to put someone back on post approval if they then flaunt the forum rules or otherwise cause disruption.

"Having trouble learnine to make simple games." it`s like saying i`m lazy, that`s why everyone is picking on you.Ask something more specific.I`m havibg troubles making complicated games, and so what?

Begin some project then organize it, go coding and if you hit an obsticle go here and ask for help, but please be specific what you did not understand, and be sure you checked tutorials and searched somewhere for solution in the forums with your problem.

Where there is a will, there is a way.
I often edit my posts, that`s who i am

No no.Not thatsort of picking.some in other posts.Some outside of cyberspace.it's different.Everyone expects you to know stuff.When i ask about FPI scripting, they just type me the code,expecting me to know where to writeit.

I'm satisfied with this thread.TGK has given me a thread.So don't worry.There was just one little thing(up)

And guess where my obstical was? At the start!!!

By the time this post was finished, i learn't a bit and it's abit like C++ except you can do 3D objects and stuff

Funny. I asked to learn about dbpro learning because i was bored out of my guts and i like learning.

But now it's turned into learning how forums work and people getting into my persanol space!!!

What is happening. And i think the moderator can change the title so he can change it if he likes!

So do you still need help and you never posted the code pieces for other people to look at in order to help you?

@Jacob_010 You need to stop focusing on the people here that are getting into your space, And focus on what you want to learn. Yes some people here may strike you as rude etc, But you get that on all forums. There is some great people here mods and a fare bit of users who create some fantastic stuff. But you also got to take a step forward and show them you want to learn. (And no its not me getting into your space)

But seriously...
The first reply really ticked me off.
How is dbpro possibly got to do with school?

I'm only... i can't say my age so i'll say if there was an age to have a project like this.I would be a younger person than that!

And why did you reply a week later just to say that?

If you get mad and want to type something nasty about another person do this-Type what you want to say in the box then press ctrl-a and hit delete then type what you should say.
