Help Desk Guidelines

[Final Fantasy Forums]

In this thread, areas will be covered which will help you, as members, post correctly in this part of the forum. The following should be taken into consideration when posting here:

• Do not argue with a staff decision in public. If you have a dispute with why a staff member may have closed/archived your thread, take your issue to the PM system. If another member posts and breaks any rule, or causes any drama, do not contribute to the atmosphere. Let a member of staff come and deal with the matter, do not try to end the matter yourself. You may be warned in turn, also, if this happens
  [*]Do not flame other members. Flaming can be hurtful and not everyone can see things the way that you may do, so consider the other’s feelings before posting. Particularly, do not flame another member for incorrect spelling or grammar. Not everyone is perfect; they may have dyslexia, or just general problems with reading and writing. This is an Internet forum not a classroom. There is a time and place for commenting on English skills, and it’s not here. However, exceptions can be made for asking members not to use “Text-talk”, such as “Hw r u?” Albeit, this must be done politely.
  [*]No spamming. Only post if you can help. Examples which can result in "spam" warnings are “Sorry, I can’t help you”. If you can’t help, then there’s no point in posting, therefore, you have spammed.
  [*]Remember, regular forum rules are still applicable to here and any other part of the forum (unless stated otherwise). [color]
  [*]Failure to comply with the rules can and will result in warnings, followed by a ban if the offence occurs.

New members: Please, before you post your question, search for it and check whether or not it was answered. We do not feel great about duplicate threads popping up all the time, as it becomes a waste of time after a while. If, however, you do not see that it has been posted before, then feel free to go ahead and create your thread. Wait for a reply, do not double post asking members to come online, they will do in their own time.

Duplicate threads (and posts) will be deleted and may result in warnings if the problem persists.

Please also remember that “Causing unnecessary drama” is part of the warning system, so questions that will cause drama will now result in a warning.
