Welcome to Valera's Beginners Guideline. This guideline contains some basic tips towards posting on our forums. These tips aren't rules, but please take them in account, as some other members on other sites have reported to be not that nice. You can't be warned if you don't do these things, so don't worry:D. We'll give you a PM about it and show you this topic, but that's it. :D

Posts

*Do not double post. This is against the rules, but is allowed if you have either a 12 hour difference, or are updating a topic. However, try to keep your amount of double posting as low as possible.
*Do not post in colors. Certainly not in blue or red, as those colors are often used by moderators.
*Do not go off-topic in your post without posting a on-topic part of your post. Full of-topic posts are not allowed, unless for mods or admins. This would only be for verbal warnings, don't worry.
*Try to work on your grammar and punctation and caps where they supposed to be. Even when English isn't your main language, try as hard as you can. We really apriciate that.
*When you post in a designers topic, please read through the whole topic or the latest comments. You could do something wrong without knowing it. Same for questions, those could already be answered !
*Don't have to much smilies in your comment. It's irritating to read.
*Do not talk about the Chodes or other bad stuff about other sites. We really don't appriciate that. Not at all.
*If you're replying to someone's question, reply NICELY, especially if you're disagreeing with them. It can make people mad, so be careful about choosing your words. As already said, things can get misinterpreted easily on the Internet.
*When posting a comment in someone's S&T, do NOT quote a post that contains a whole bunch of pictures in it. It is considered very annoying when you have duplicates of S&T pictures everywhere.
Instead, if you need to quote the post with pictures in it, remove the links to the pictures first, leaving only text comments behind.
*Try not to post "u" instead of "you", "4" instead of "for" , etc. It's really annoying to read.

Designing
*Never start/make a design team if you don't know how to design. Learn to do it yourself first. It helps.
*Don't ask to be a "tester" for a design team just because you want the downloads they make. It's annoying and the members of the team probably test the stuff themselves.
*Never start/make a design team so you can just have people making downloads for you. That's freaking annoying.
*Do not give requests unless the designer asks for them.
*Do not whine if someone has a download you don't have and isn't released yet. Mostly that person has it either because he's really good friends with the designer and got it from him/her or he is a known tester and he's an authority in testing and takes it serious.
