This is for those of you who have never used a forum before, and are having trouble figuring it out. A forum is a collection of categorized messages, where users can create 'threads', to which others can reply. This forum exists as an easy method of communication outside of the server, and is used for feedback, support tickets, and ban appeals.
To start:
Commonly used terms:
Thread - A topic to which other users can reply.
Board - A classification of threads with a similar theme.
Sticky - A thread that has been pinned to the top of a board. These are generally staff-created threads, which provide important information.
Lock - A locked thread is closed to replies and edits by general users.
Bump - The act of moving an old thread back to the top of a board. This differs from sticky posts in that the thread will move down below any newer threads.
To start:
- Register an Account
To reply to threads and start your own, you need an account. Just sign up at the top using your email address. Please use your Minecraft username as your name on the forum, in order to keep things consistent and so everyone understands who is posting what. Feel free to personalize your account with an avatar - Reply to a Thread
Once you've got an account created you're ready to begin posting. To start, try replying to a post that interests you. You can quote a reply by simply pressing the 'quote' button on any reply. - Start Your Own Thread
After you've replied to a few posts, you should have a good idea of how this works. You can now start your own. When in a category, select the 'New Thread' button at the top right of the area to create a thread. Your thread should be centered around an undiscussed or original idea, a question, or another topic for discussion. Make sure you are posting in the correct board, or your thread will be relocated. Also make sure to read any guidelines or other board instructions to ensure your thread isn't removed.
