[quote=“Ironman”][quote=“Mordeth”]Q: Why does everyone gang up on me and flame my posts?
A: Because you’re new to the forum, and it’ll take awhile for others to get used to your style of posting.[/quote]
I’d like to see two different sections.
One can be the mechanics of posting. The how to do it. Avatars, why you can’t edit temp forum posts etc.
The second and to me much more difficult section is pretty much summed up by Mordeth above. [/quote]I think that’s a good suggestion. The first section was very well covered by Dragonbones. 
The other section of the FAQ would indeed be a little more complicated because it’s not all black and white. I’ll try to remember some old Q and A I used to have as a newbee and maybe I will post again later.
I have had a pretty rough start here on Forumosa. I had just discovered the internet. I purchased my very first computer about four months before I registered on Forumosa as leo. I was banned, then rebanned as hatch and banned again under the name Armattan. To make a long story short because it’s all old memories already(time flies), I had ups and downs on Forumosa.
From being miserable, stalked, insulted, attacked, and bullied by many posters to getting kind responses, support, friendly mentions and just simply having fun posting and making friends.
The question is how did such a change happen? It’s pretty simple really and the answer to this question would be my best advice to anyone new or to anyone who’s having difficulties. I used to say “be nice” a lot. But what really works is to actually be nice. 
It’s that simple, just be nice.
Q:What’s up this internet thing? This cyberworld is weird or is it just me? Why not have a real life instead?
A:Forumosa is a very distinct bulletin board. It’s an online community. Forumosa helps improving the lives of many with loads of information and by creating access for its members and lurkers to several networks of people with similar interests in real life. What you read on the bulletin board is only a fraction of what Forumosa really is.
