lol, I've noticed lots of newbies being somewhat obnoxious, so I shall make a little guide. 
-Don't POST IN ALL CAPS lol.
-Don't TaLk Lyk ThIz!
-Never say anybody's art is really bad. If it is (even if they are asking for critique) just ignore them.
-Don't use repeated smileyfaces...            
-Have a problem with sombody being rude? Go take a screenie (using the guide of course) of the rudeness and send it to a mod/op/admin or whatever you call them. They can ban the person...
-Try not to make more than 6 bumps in a row on your posts... Just give it up, nobody is looking at it.
-Don't make 2 (or more) identical posts on various topics... it gets old and people will ignore it
-Don't
use obnoxious colors or make really big text like this!!!!
-Don't insult people... really basic thing that some people don't realize
-Don't advertise your stuff in somebody elses topic... it just annoys the person who made topic
-Don't bid lower than the SB (starting bid)
-Bid higher than the bid of the person before you, and scan over the whole auction to make sure that nothing has happened to the animal-otherwise it is probably your fault for being "scammed"...
-Be goofy, but not annoying.
-Post in the correct place (eg, don't post an animal for auction in the art section, don't auction art in the art section either... there is an auction place....)
-assume that the person posting is honest, and that they aren't trying to offend you. Everyone can be friends!
-DON'T ask for money. You will probably get some from bezz because she is a pushover, but otherwise all that will happen is angry people yelling at you- no matter how poor you are
-don't send random trades/contracts, all that does is confuse everyone.
Hopefully this will help some people.

BIN means buy it now.
Great job Bezz. I am really glad you put the one about using really obnoxious colours and big text sizes. It hurts my little eyes some times. lol.
Another one is put your post in the appropriate forum. Ex. Dont post your animals for stud or sale in the games forum. That sort of thing. |

| I don't remember if this is in there, but try to be understanding as to what people mean - you can't hear tones over the internet, and I've seen plenty of squabbles over mistook posts. |
