[Size=+2] Let's get started... [/size]
Okay, almost everyday I get on here and see a new member posting around the forum not knowing
what's going on or what they're doing. We will refer to these people as "noobs". Don't get me wrong, new members are always good as they mean FK is growing, but what isnt good are noobs. So if you happen to be a noob then you've clicked on the right thread, fore you are about to be enlightened.
I will frequently be updating this thread with tips to make noobs seem not so nooby, for the sake of FK.
Other members, please feel free to reply with tips of your own and I'll update the thread with them.
[SIZE=+2] Now on to the good part...[/SIZE]
Some of you noobs might be reading this and thinking to
yourselves "I'm not a noob so this obviously doesn't apply to me." Well think again, to make sure that you are not a noob please ask yourself the following questions:
"Do I know the meaning of the commonly used abbreviations around the forum?"
"Do I know how to navigate around the forum to find what/who I'm searching for?"
"Who is the owner of ForumKorner?"
"What are the preferred methods of dealing SM's and other merchandise?"
"What are groups and what benefits do they come with?"
"What are upgrades and how do I get one?"
"What use do I have for koins?"
If you had any problems answering the above questions then you are more than likely a noob, sorry. But no worries, we have your back, as (most of us) are friendly to new users.
[Size=+2] FAQ[/size]
Q: What does the abbreviation ___ mean?
A: Please refer to the "Abrreviation Dictionary" section of the thread. If the abbreviation is not listed please reply with it and I will answer it the next time i update this thread.
Q: Who is the owner of ForumKorner?
A: The owner of ForumKorner is @Philly . Respect him.
Q: What are the preferred methods of dealing SM's and other merchandise?
A: In my and many others opinion On Site (dealing through PM) dealing is the best way to do your deals. Other ways are through Skype, AIM, and Kik. Kik is not a preferred place to deal as a lot of scams happen everyday on Kik. Therefore suggesting to deal through Kik can raise suspicion that you are attempting to scam, whether it is true or not. Most common forms of payment are PayPal, BitCoin, and MoneyPak.
Q: What are groups and what benefits do they come with?
A: Groups are basically a bunch of members who come together for either a certain purpose, or no purpose at all. Benefits of being in a group include things like nice user titles, banners, colored names, and a bunch of new friends.
Q: What are upgrades and how do I get one?
A: Membership upgrades are used to one, make you look good/important and two, too give you more power so to speak. For example, Onyx members can rate a member anywhere from -5 to 5+ rep, close your own threads, not to mention you get a sexy black name with a sweet animation. To get a membership upgrade you have to pay, with real money/koins. Onyx is $18/18k koins, Power is $20/20k koins (requires Onyx and the donator award). To aquire one of these you can PM @Philly or go to the upgrades section of the site.
Q: What use do I have for koins?
A: Koins are FK's currency so to speak. Some members may take them as an alternative to actual money. They can be used in giveaways, username changes, usertitle changes, the lottery or to buy yourself a membership upgrade.
