"FAQ" stands for Frequently Asked Questions.
If your new, hopefully this will answer some of your questions.
How can I become a Mod/G Mod/Admin?
You must be an active member and help contribute to the site. Just help out! If you do this, I might PM you asking you if you want to be staff. Asking to be a Mod or Admin will result in lower chance of becoming one.
How do I become a respected member?
Use proper spelling. If you are always saying 'lol teh kliiing ist da bets bkoo eva rofl!' no one will respect you.
Try to give your posts some substance. Try and post more than a couple of words.
Be nice.
But have an opinion-Just agreeing with anyone will get you nowhere. Just be yourself.
Don't go post crazy- Post counts don't matter!
DON'T POST IN CAPS UNLESS YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE A STUPID NOOB, YOU NOOB
