***PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING***

 I'm working on it!! I am a member, but PTT Admins obviously don't like me as they are ignoring me...sniff, sniff!!

updated list:

1. USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION. See the black bar above this topic? See it? See the third button along from the left? The one that says search? Before posting something, press this button to see if there has already been something posted about the thing you were about to post about. This will keep repetition of topics at bay.
2. USE THE PACK SUGGESTIONS TOPIC. Especially a certain guy with a colour for a name, instead of posting thousands of topics about packs you want, put your ideas in the Pack Suggestions topic. This will keep the boards tidy.
3. RESPECT THE OLDER BOARD MEMBERS. They have been here longer, and they know more than you do. Linger here and you will become like them (hopefully).
4. DON'T POST POINTLESS TOPICS. Spamming is frowned upon here, and soon the mods will come and sort it all out (in about five years, maybe). Posting random smilies or one sentence posts is most of the time pointless and, no matter how much you think so, not funny or clever.
5. USE THE OFF-TOPIC FORUM. Classic example - the San Andreas topic, which has been moved to the Off-Topic board. Please don't clutter up the General Board with Off-Topic posts.
6. REFRAIN FROM LARGE FONTS. Smaller writing it much easier to read than big writing, and is less disruptive.
7. NO BIG SMILIES. They look silly and make the page take years to load. Please don't post big smilies, or even posts with just a smilie in - its not necessary.

yeah, you've added a sticky about people possibly becoming moderators - would this be valid to also go up there with the stickys?

and thanks for the support guys - i actually think it may have worked.

well most of the disruptive posts have decreased - whether it was anything to do with this topic i dunno.

but at least the board may finally have sorted itself out.
