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.
