Chapter two: How to be known/liked and make friends.
This is more common to the more recent people who have joined. Personally, this doesn't matter to me how well I am liked, just as long as I am not hated. I suggest that be your attitude also, however we all have different opinions.
To make a good impression if you are new:
-When you post, try to use proper grammer or use a spell check before you post something. WF doesn't have a spell check, however your browser or internet provider may have one. The members who have been around for a while might make fun of the way you talk, not putting you over to well.
-Limit your cussing. Nobody wants to see a whole bunch of censored words.
-Don't overpost. Don't post for the sake of getting your total higher or just because you think it looks better. Spread your posts out, and make sure there is a reason for your posting. If you spam (meaningless post) and do it frequently, chances are you will be docked posts. Yes, the administrators have that power.
-Don't ask the administrators for things. If you have to, make sure you really need it. Most of them don't want to deal with all the members, they want a life too. Don't tell them how to run the forum, or else you could get deleted.
To be liked and make friends:
I only have a couple things for this. If you want to be liked on the forum, stay active, and send people PMs..Also, get Instant Messanger if you don't already have it. That is a good way to stay in touch. If you do this, the internet hounds (WF members) will come pouring in, and you'll be thanking Mr. 3Lephant that you have some buddies.
Oh yeah. Don't put any of that "o you agree? Put this in your sig" stuff on the forum. People don't like that.
