Thoughts on replying to posts: (Hopefully these suggestions will help keep the forum free of clutter.)
* Don't forget to read the Forum Rules (http://www.eoeforums.com/showthread.php?t=19&highlight=rules)
* High post count does NOT mean better forum member!!
Spamming the forum will probably piss off the Dev's and Mod's, thus lowering your chances of getting into pre-game testing.
We're looking for quality, not quantity.
* Use the Search function first! Please.
* Use people's names, or quote them, when replying.
Sometimes threads get really long. If you're not replying to the immediate post, start your reply with the name of the person you are replying to.
This will cut down on confusion - makes your post more understandable.
example:
SunWuKong,
Great idea!! I agree with you, completely.
Without the name, people might not know who you're talking to.
* If you want to ask/tell a specific person something, use private messages.
* Think before you reply.
Many people respond immediately to a post.
Do you really need to reply? A 1 to 3 word answer probably isn't adding much to the topic.
Try re-reading it to make sure you understand what that person is saying.
They might not be flaming you.
