Ok, first things first, i suggest getting adopted. This is when a more experienced TFF member takes you under their wing and gives you some guidence.
Secondly, each forum has rules which you can read up on. The basic rules are:
-no double posting as it wastes valuble space
-no spamming. this is promoting stuff, in a biast way. Yeah you can say stuff like "Arctic Monkeys are a great band", but not stuff like "go
www...., its brilliant cause..."
-no pointless posts. dont just do something like post a thread saying "hi"
-no porn of any kind
there are moderators who judge all this kinda stuff and will tell you if its innapropriate. you can also ask them for guidence.
Ok, about the Users CP, you go here to write your profile, update your avatar and signature, and to look at PMs (private messages)
now, there are lots of forums and threads here, not just about final fantasy, but about other things too. you look like a pokemon fan, and i know there is a pokemon thread somewhere. i think its in either TV shows or General Gaming, but dont count me on that one. Try exploring these and eventually you'll find your way.
umm... oh yes, steer clear of the flaming forum for now unless you really must argue with everyone, but if you do, prepare for a backlash as words can fly! if you need to post here, read the rules first.
Oh, and as you see, there are levels. these increase as you post more. this also increases your status. once you make 100 posts you'll be promoted to a member, but dont be hasty as meaningless posts will be deducted.
OK i hope my words of wisdom have helped and if you need any further advice, PM me. click on my name, then theres an option saying "send personal message", click that and off you pop!
Have Fun And Good Luck
