Work on your campaign more intensively, release it and people will be more patient with you. This is my experience. There was time everyone on this board wanted to see me dead/permanently banned. After I released my campaign, people better tolerate me. The same will happen in your case. You know, I will help with your campaign. Just tell me what to do in the Internal and I will do it.

[karajorma]

Actually we started to tolerate you after you became less annoying We're mearly telling Cobra to follow your example

[TopAce]

This says I am still annoying.

Think & search before you post.

Read your post twice before you submit.  

Read the entire thread before posting, or quote the single post you have read and are replying to.

Try not to ask questions that have been asked before; try search.

Don't post welcome beams to people who aren't making their first post.

Don't offer to do stuff for campaigns unless they are already asking for help.  

If you're that desperate to work on something, offer your services on a single thread, in a single forum, posting examples of your work beforehand.

Never, ever, whine; complain politely, don't get testy when people disagree.

Always be polite - make sure to be nicer than the person you reply to (this helps).

Don't take ciriticism/arguements too seriously.

Avoid all cap posts.

1/ if we greeted everyone on their xxth post, it'd just clog up the boards.   you should be greeted on your 1st post - that's the point fo the welcome beam - but not every time you log on.

2/ Any sensible campaign will ask for some proof of competence before they accept staff.  If you're advertising yourself, you need to prove yourself pre-emptively; you'll have to do so regardless, might as well do so early on.  If you're asking, for example, in the MT forum for a 'job', then you need to prove you're good at what you do.

3/ 1: Complaining is different from whining.  Children whine, adults complain.  Complaints have a factual basis and a rational statement behind them, whining usually involves blaming the world for some problem and lamenting it rather than fixing it yourself.
2: Of course you can; I do it all the time
3: In case you need to know; "don't be testy" means accept criticism, argue your case politely, but don't insult people or act like an arse towards them because they criticise you.

4/  It's clear I meant all caps as in 'all caps' as in when you are POSTING LIKE THIS.  Which is basic netiquette.  Whether or not you wish to follow the other rules of grammer/punctuation is up to you.

It's called "losing an argument".  Learn it; get used to it.

and i dont like the grammar inquisition... i use punctuation but im too lame to press shift on the start of every sentence...

This is not Instant Messenger - it's a forum, and you're expected to at least try to use good spelling and grammar.  Not doing so is a sign of extreme disrespect.

[pecenipicek]

my spelling is so-so considering i didnt ever learn english (and i still know it much better than other jerks who claim they are learning it for 8 or more years...) and the fact that my normal language(normal for me=croatian) is not germanic in nature... its slavenic... and grammar? now tell me where did i demonstrate bad grammar? and i know that i should be capitalizing the first letter of my every sentence but im just too lame to press shift all that times... but names i will write correctly with uppercase first letter

[Cobra]

you don't put in the apostrophe in contractions like i'm, they're, etc etc.

[Hippo]

Most people when they type, will have a finger near the shift key, for the sole purpose of capitalizing letters. It's not hard. Really...

[Cobra]

sadly, i have been plagued by Instant Messaging Syndrome. now i only capitalize titles n crap like that.

I was never greeted on my first post.........

Heres a good idea why not create a welcome section in HLP where people go to introduce themselves? I think it would be better that way. If first time here post in the welcome section of HLP.

Though I that will ever happen.........

HLP is loaded with so many threads and members we don't notice people right away. I can't remember which post I got greeted on.
