Here are some basic ComNet Etiquette guidelines you should know before posting anything on the ComNet.

Creating a New Topic
- First find that there isn't a topic already dedicated to the subject you are about to post.
- Make sure to put the topic on the correct ComNet.
-- The Main ComNet is reserved for official VE business.  If you feel a need to just post random information, post that on the Lounge ComNet.
- Do not start a free for all chat topic; this is what chat servers are for.
-- Topics should have something to discuss which is why there is a subject line.

Replying to a Topic
- First check the date on the last reply.
-- If the date is more than a few months old, consider this topic dead and do not reply.
- Make sure your reply is about the subject being discussed.
-- Do not ask questions about something totally off topic; this is when you should start a new topic.

Moderating the ComNets
- This is reserved for ComNet moderators only.
-- Do not take it upon yourself to enforce the rules of the ComNet if you are not a moderator.
-- Doing so will only make you look like a bully.

Things to Know
- It may take some time for members to reply to your messages.
-- Be patient as not every member is online at the same time of the day.  Your messages will get replied to usually within a few hours.  Sometimes even within minutes.
- It is not nice to be rude or vulgar towards other members.  Please keep things respectable around here and we can all have a good time.
- Do not try to enforce the CoCs on the ComNets if you are not a direct commander of the individual in question.  This action is reserved for commanders only.
-- This will only hurt yourself by doing so.

Asking Questions
- Before you ask any questions, make sure you search the ComNet for your question to make sure it hasn't already been answered.
-- This can save you time as well as everyone else.

ComNet Sticky
- These are messages you'll find listed at the top of each of the ComNets.
- Read these messages!!
-- You'll find that a lot of your questions will be answered by these topics.
- If you ask a question in a new topic about something that is in one of the sticky topics, you'll only make yourself look dumb.

If a moderator finds that any post does not follow the guidelines listed above, your post will most likely be deleted without warning.

Ok.  You've all got the warning.  I'm just going to start deleting any posts I don't like.  So if you don't have something nice to say you're probably better off not posting it as it will just get deleted.

I ran across this post while looking for another and sure wish I had read it before.

Like it says, everyone, listen up, read before posting. I'm not talking to those of you I've already dealt with and know. I'm talking to myself and all newbees that might just like to say silly stuff without knowing what your talking about.

I already feel like an Idiot for posting several times without reading thoroughly. I don't want anyone else to follow in my footsteps.

This topic is already a sticky, but I'm going to bump it anyway.

I'm also going to add in the following:

Thread Necromancy:
-Do not post on threads that are obviously dead. If the last post was several months or years ago, consider the thread dead. If you have something new to say on that topic, it's probably best to just start a new thread.
--I (and any other moderator) reserve the right to delete any such posts that resurrect old unused threads without warning or notice.


Please re-read Kadann's initial post, above.

I'm bumping this again, as there've been a number of resurrected posts and other similar things happening in the last few days.

This doesn't just apply to that. If you're not a moderator for a given problem, leave moderation to someone that is. This includes critizing people for necro-ing a thread or really anything else. If no one seems to be doing anything about it, let someone that is a moderator know. Some of us are global moderators (such as myself). If it seems that no one is fixing a given problem, let one of us know (someone that is listed as a moderator or, if you must, me or one of the other global mods).

READ THE ABOVE.

Apparently this needs to be bumped about every 6 months, because here I am doing it again.

READ THIS THREAD.

This can be roughly translated as "Don't make me delete dozens more posts than I have to." Read Kad's initial post and then skip down about half way and read my post regarding thread necromancy.

To those who have stuck fast to the precepts of this thread: I love you. Pat yourself on the back or whatever. To the rest of you: I hate you. I am not asking you to stop; I am telling you to stop.

This needs a bump. I believe a lot of you will agree with me.
