This FAQ will tell you absolutely everything you need to know about the forum. If you have any questions that aren't answered, PMing me is always the best option.
1. How do I sign up?
Click on the bar below the logo and follow the on-screen instructions. It's very simple really.
2. Why do I have to be 13?
We have to comply with US Federal Law, I'm afraid.
3. I don't want to be a newbie. How can I change this?
By posting basically. The more you post, the higher your rank goes. However, spamming to reach the higher ranks will not be tolerated and will just result in me or another staff member nuking your count, so you have to start again. The ranks are:
0 - 49 = Newbie
50 - 99 = Helping Hand
100 - 249 = Advisor
250 - 499 = Counsellor
500+ = Guru
4. How do I get an avatar and signature?
To get an avatar, find an image you like, copy the URL and paste it into the avatar URL field of the profile editing page.
You can add image signatures using the method above and pasting the URL into the signature field between image tags, as explained below.
5. How do I post pictures?
My good friend Harry from CHERUB Forums made this picture that explains it wonderfully. Many thanks to him!
6. PM? What's that all about?
PM stands for personal message. You PM someone when you have something that you want to say specifically to them, or if you want to ask for help. You can PM someone by clicking the below their avatar.
7. What is karma?
Karma is really quite pointless, but is a rough measure of how well liked you are on the forum. To increase someone's karma, click the exalt link below their information and to decrease it, click smite. You can only exalt/smite once an hour.
8. How do I become a moderator?
You can only become a moderator if you are an active and respected member for a long period of time. If you ask to become a moderator, you probably won't get to be one.
9. How do I get that text below my ranking stars?
You see below my stars, I have Penguins Rock!, this is called a custom title. You can get one by requesting it in this thread.
10. How do I become respected?
Basically, just stick to the rules, stay active and just be awesome.
