Just some general thoughts. None are aimed at anyone in particular.

1. Try to stay on topic, especially in "I need help" threads. It becomes discouraging to people trying to get advice to watch their question get horribly derailed into 3+ pages of tangents. If you want to discuss something unrelated to the topic at hand, start a new topic. That way people can get the help they want, and others can discuss other topics with out stepping on eachother.

2. If you are asking for specific game help (where do I find ____? how do I get by _____? ect.) Put SPOILER in the topic. This lets those that want to help you know what kind of help you are looking for, and lets those that do not want to be spoiled avoid the topic. And don't put the spoiling info in the title.

3. If the author has not requested spoilers, put a SPOILER header in your reply.
SPOILER
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
this way readers are warned, and can avoid the info if they want to.

4. If the author of a post has requested not to be spoiled, DO NOT SPOIL. Now spoiling information is subjective and relative to game progression, but if it is information that you didn't have at that point in the game, chances are it's a spoiler.

5. Don't forget to check out the TOS from time to time.

Take care all. Have fun, and keep posting! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
