Here is an explination of how NOT to post.

GRAND THEFT AUTO 1&2 IS ABODON\FREEWARE YAY IT FINLY HAPPEND :Brain:

Here we have many things.
1: All caps. This is rude and is like screaming in someones face.
2: Bad spelling. This person clearly hasn't tried.
3: Bad grammar. This is clearly more than one sentence.

HERES A LINK FOR PEEPS THAT DON'T WANA USE GOOGLE.

Here we go again:
1: Yup, its more caps. Oh so rude.
2: Ooh, its a link to a game which is already on AB/AR. Not a good idea. He hasn't looked.
3: If you're going to use slang, at least spell that right. Wanna has 2 "n"s

http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/gta.html

Its a link without a clear explanation as to its purpose.

If Im braking any rules Im sorry but I could't not find the rules form.

Now this is just insulting to us mods.
Ever notice the big sticky topic saying 'RULES FOR POSTING'? No? Get your eyes checked!
Also, bad spelling and grammar.

And so, the moral of this story is:
THINK BEFORE YOU POST!

Check below for more!

old news guy,AR has it for a long time...

[ReamusLQ]

yes, I believe we already have links for this on our home page.

Second, it is considered shouting to speak in all capital letters, and it is a pain in the behind to read.

I expect Danny to have some fun w/ your post (although I wish I was a mod here so I could too)

Part 2 of our:
HOW NOT TO POST
series

WELL it took me a wile to find :angry:

Here, the writer has multiple wrongdoings.
1: It has a fullcaps word. Not friendly, and after he was told not to use caps.
2: Yup, bad spelling. 'Wile' is not the correct spelling of 'While'
3: Bad grammar and short post. Surely you could make it longer and better structured, even for an insultive post?
4: Its an agressive post! Clearly trying to start a flame war. He only posted to be insultive, and the angry smiley dosent help.
5: Took you a while to find? Yes, your point is? I dont go screaming about whenever I find a good game.

And so, the moral here is:
DONT START FLAMING!
And if you must, please bother to do it properly.

We have part 3 below.

[troop18546]

Don't get sore over me. Just that it ain't new (the game or the news).

Another part of our...
HOW NOT TO POST
Series

sence its old news lets type some dumb crap cuse I'm Bored

Oh god, this guy is a serial offender!
1: First thing I see is a word spelt wrong. Then I see more. Get spellcheck, man!
2: Bad grammar. Short blurty sentence with no grammar to speak of.
3: Edited post not showing previous content, or any clue as to what it was.
4: HE IS SPAMMING! He admits this in the post! He says he's typing 'Dumb Crap' and then gives us the reason 'I'm bored'. Then he gives us a smiley as if to make it seem all better!

Now, what have we learnt, boys and girls?
DONT SPAM!
Dont spam, use proper english, and god, dont admit to spamming!

Part 4 one post down. Double posting is the topic.

[Bp103]

And here is part 4 of...
HOW NOT TO POST

Anybody How do I get rid of this crap on the side saying newbie spamer

Now, heres todays points:
1: Its a double post! NEVER, EVER post twice in a row, unless you really have a goddamn good reason.
2: Bad spelling, bad grammar. Where did good old english go?
3: Its offtopic and for no good reason! Get it into your head that ontopic is good!
4: Insult, 'crap'. Its not our fault that you dont read the rules or listen.
5: You insulted the NEWBIE SPAMMER title! Theres a reason why we give people these at first. You illustrate it well.

So, the lesson?
DONT GO OFFTOPIC!
Unless you have a really, really good reason.
And dont insult the title.

By not being a n00by spamer :whistle:
You need at least 8 more serious posts and it will change automatically - but there are forum (for the unserious posts) where posting doesn't count.

And BTW - We had 2004>>>>>*T*H*I*S*<<<<< up since Last summer (over a year now... August 17th 2004 to be exact).
