    Phoenix has done the welcome, now I'm going to do the rules:

    1. Don't gravedig. I noticed you have done so once already in the Gothic 2 thread.

    2. Don't spam/make pointless and/or dumb posts.

    3. Don't double/triple post.

    4. Don't gravedig.

    5. Several resident nazi's will jump down your throat if you take liberties with the English language (i.e. using l337 speak and general lazy shortcuts).

    Follow these simple rules, and you'll get along fine.

    Welcome, woolviegirl. It's nice to see new people joining up.

    About the gravedigging thing, it's not really a hard rule, I think. It just sets Jar frothing at the mouth when it happens.

    Sadly, having people jump down your throat about it hasn't done much to improve your grasp of the English language.

    That aside, welcome WG! (Forgive me, I tend to shorten names.) I'm Snowmane, and I moderate around here- Jinxed is the almighty.

    Try quoting his post, and then reading the bbcode he used.

    Or just pay attention when you post, and learn about the "View more Emoticons" link. :thinker:

    I dunno about l337 speak as i have never seen it here on the board, but if you use ordinary english a few spelling errors is not a problem. There is, as allways, some people there that when they run ot of good arguments will start attacking you by pointing out gramatical mistakes, just ignore these abominations.

    Also having WAAAAY to large sigs will jinxed froth around his mouth.
    Welcome to the forum. :wavey:

    The way he said it, I figured he didn't know it existed, for neither did I; I never use those smilies, anymore. :)
