Firstly, post moderation queries in this forum please.

Secondly it was locked because it made several entirely false statements [most notably, it omitted the PMT and high-modern tech-brackets entirely, failed to indicate the other tech levels can interact with each other, stated the DEAR GOD IT IS NOT day=year 'rule' [nobody RPs an election every five days], the 5% military non-rule, the 'no nukes until you reach 100 million' non-rule which several mods have gone so far as to explicitly say isn't a rule...], it wasted an entire post explaining forum tags which everyone should know anyway, and all the other information is covered in existing stickies.

Ever seen the ludicrous amount of guides II has?

Think about it.

The IGNORE
If you are (...) help from someone. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9676173&postcount=3)Okay... Here's why II has turned into a horrid nanny forum. Everybody tries to force their interpretation of the gameplay rules onto one another, which only makes it confusing, and this statement on ignore is just wrong. Bottom line is: follow these rules and you rule. If you don't, you suck and will be ignored. Don't think into this narrow 'black-white' spectrum, there's a lot more than rules and roleplay etiquette.

The sole fact you use the word ignore 14 times in one guide, makes it a bad one. Before you type, ask a moderator if it's ok in the way you wrote it, or why not ask if ANOTHER GUIDE (like Der Angst said) is really necessary.

Just for clarification, the guides that I have produced are in no way forcing anyone to do anything. They've been created for people who honestly have no clue how to do specific things in NS, and for those people who are out of ideas. My guides were created to provoke thought and ideas, rather than being someone that everyone should abide by no matter what. I don't expect anyone to actually take it as a rulebook.

You, cert- Well, possibly, given that I've skimmed them at best. Others however... *Glares at the Temporal Accord*

Take 2 days off to realize that spamming Moderation is BAD.

Oh....that clears things up. :D I haven't looked at those guides for a long time, maybe I should again, just for the sake of it.

You will not spam the moderation forum again. Doing so will get you a much more strict punishment.
