Double Posting:
Double Posting is a touchy topic. You cannot simply double post on all forums and all topics, although there are some exceptions. In the advertising arena, if you wish to bump your topic, you may do so. But only if it has been 24 hours. if we find you bumping the topic before 24 hours it will result in a warning. Also, If you are hosting a contest of your own in the Contest Arena, feel free to double post to bump your topic. Again, though, it must have been at least 24 hours to bump your topic. Otherwise, Double Posting on a regular topic is most definitely not allowed.

Creating a Topic:
If you want to create a topic, you must follow this rule carefully. The topic must be posted in the correct section. For example do not put a contest in the Practice Arena and so on. Also, the topic title must be appropriate! Nothing that violate the Post content Rules. If you make a topic please make sure the content is relevant. For example do not make a topic that is named 'Cats' and then you talk about Computers. Thank you.

Replying to a Topic:
Say there is a topic that interests you and you wish to partake in the conversation, or you have a question relating to the topic content? Well you can click the post reply button at the bottom of the thread and type up a reply. The replies have to be relevant to the topic, and you can't double post, as seen in the Double Posting rule.

Creating a Post:
To create a post you must either be replying to some one else's post or creating a new topic. When you create a post you can either title it- see the post title bar above your post box- or just type up your post(the title will be Re: Topic Title). When you create the post it must follow the rules of the Post Content rules(see topic).

Titling your Topic:
When you are writing a topic and you are writing the title, you must keep in mind there is a limit to the number of characters you can put into it. So don't expect to be able to write a paragraph in that teeny little bar. If you title your topic it must follow the rule stated here, and also check the Post Content topic to be sure about what can be included within it. Although you should check it out anyway.

Profile Messages:
Profile Messages, or PM's as they are referred to, are messages you can send to other users that no one else can see. Not even us Administrators can view the Private Messages sent to other users. Although no offense to the rules is allowed via PM(see Posting Content topic) it is possible for it to happen since a select few think they can use this to their advantage. Although no official proof can be lended, we will check those users posts, friends, and if we really have to hack there account we can check your PM.
