Ok it has been a major talking point on these forums a while that it (the forums) are going downhill. This has been put down to certain users etc. It was also mentioned that "The posters of the threads didnt know better. So i thought there can now be no excuses. If there is a post stating what is a good post(and general tips) and what should face
IanM's new character change no one can say they didnt know better
______________________________________________________________________
o Dont post messages like "Can i have a crack please"
o Dont post Q's in code snippets
o Do try and help people that is the reason for the forums its not a spammers paradise
o Do post screenshots with program announcment
o DONT POST IN ALL CAPITALS IT REPRESENTS SHOUTING turn the caps lock off
o Try to keep the messages ontopic
o Do read board instructions before posting on a board
o Make sure that you dont start loads of new thread every day
o Dont insult members on the board they try to help so the least you can do is show good manners
o Its impossible for DB made programs to work on the PS2
o Name new topics something desciptive not just "Read this" or "Help" but name it something more "Help required: Making a menu"
o Dont SPAM (space=money or x
kb=$)
o Check to see if a post or thread already exists with the thing you are looking for in it and it doesnt exist
Thats all for the moment. Post if you have any more ideas
(I thought that the phrase "Prevention is better than the cure" perhaps could be used until something is done officialy by the Mods and Rich)

Just to add to the confusion.
