1. Introduction
   • How to type correctly.
2. Grammar and Spelling
   • How your post should look.
3. Frequently Asked Questions
   • With questions asked from actual computer illiterates!

• Introduction
  • First of all, let's review something here: 50% of your forum behavior is judged by how you type and the 50% falls into whatever you post. You might post a lot, but who cares if nobody can read what you're typing?
  • How fast you type is not important. What is important is that you don't show that you don't even know where the keys are! If you constantly make spelling errors, perhaps you should buy a book on HOW TO TYPE before you kill us with your bad netiquette.

  hi this is mah awesum post isnt this great!!!!

  • What's wrong with this post? If you can't figure out what's wrong, you should disconnect from the Internet. Otherwise, you would know that is not how your post should look. Your posts should look like this guide: Capitalization, commas, no screaming, periods, etc.
  • This is not your instant messenger, and this is not a video game. This is a community that relys on YOU on being able to type correctly and professionally. DO NOT MUTILATE the English language.
  • Here are the top 3 rules:
    1. Do not post with random caps or numbers.
    2. Do not post with horrible spelling.
    3. Do not post with horrible grammar.
  • Secondly, it won't hurt to have paragraphs in your posts every once in a while. Whenever you are going to write a long post, be sure to have paragraphs. Nobody can read everything in one huge paragraph as readers can get constantly lost on where they were (yes, they can).
  • Also, here are some abbreviations that are (believe it or not) NOT words:
    1. u
    2. r
    3. 4u
    4. dat
    5. thx
    6. k
    7. l8r
    8. ne1
    9. brb
    10. stfu
    11. afk
    12. imho
    13. rtfm
    14. iow
    15. afaik
    16. tha
    17. c
        
        
• Frequently Asked Questions
  • Why should I type in perfect grammar and spelling?
    • You're being judged on how you type your posts up, you know. If you make spelling mistakes here and there all the time, how will we understand you? You make yourself look like a fool with all those horrible errors.
      
      
  • Am I required to type in perfect grammar and spelling?
    • With all the complaints you're going to get, it practically should be a rule. It won't get you warned or banned, but it might get you flamed.
      
      
  • What is netiquette?
    • Netiquette is etiquette, except it's for the Internet. You have manners in real life, and we expect you to have the same manners here. The Internet is more or less, the actual world. There's no need to act stupid as you don't act like that around your parents.

You can contact a moderator or an administrator if none of the FAQ answered your question. However, don't expect an answer if you cannot type in good grammar or just simply can't type at all.

Rules for the tutorial forums:
The following rules are to be followed at all times when posting or reading anything in the tutorial forums. If you do not follow these rules then you shall be punished in accordance with each rule broken.

Posts in the tutorial forums are moderated and will not appear immediately!

• New Tutorials
  • ONLY tutorials that are useful are to be posted. If you post a tutorial on something stupid (ie: How to tie your shoes) the thread will be deleted and you may be warned.
  • When posting tutorials your tutorial should be precise, well written and easy to read.
  • Subjects should not be in funky capital letters (ie: ThiS iS So CoOl), abbreviations (ie: chk ths out!) or any other forms of terrible English. An example of a proper subject would be "Abstract Shapes in Photoshop".
  • You are REQUIRED to use the new post icons provided to distinguish between the program you are writing a tutorial for. If you are writing a tutorial for Photoshop then you are REQUIRED to use the post icon for Photoshop. The post icons are to help distinguish what the tutorial is for. If you have a tutorial and there is no corresponding icon please private message Iridium with the name of the program your tutorial is for and he will add a new post icon. Once the post icon has been added you may post your tutorial but not before.
  • Tutorials may use images so long as they are no wider than the signature guideline dimensions (550 by 150 pixels). You break my tables and I will break you.
  • If you use a tutorial not written by yourself be sure to include the URL where you found the tutorial and give credit where credit is due!
    
    
• Replying to Tutorials
  • You may reply to a tutorial if and ONLY if you have a question or are not quite clear about the instructions. At NO time will you reply to a tutorial with "Thanks!", "This rocks!", "What a sucky tutorial... you suck!", "+ rep for you dude!" or "Wow, this really helped me!". This is to keep the tutorial threads short and to the point.
    
    
• Tutorial Ratings
  • If you think one of the tutorials posted was good or bad you are able to give it a rating. To rate a tutorial click the RATE THREAD drop down menu list at the top of the thread. You are able to give the thread a rating of 1-5.

• Requesting Tutorials
  • Members may post requests for tutorials once. If another member has written or finds a tutorial requested they may post it in a NEW thread and then reply to the request thread with the link of the new tutorial. Once a reply has been made linking the questioner to the tutorial the person responsible for creating the request thread is to lock it immediately.
