F.A.Q.
1.) What is karma?
Karma is a feature on a proboard. There is positive and negative karma. If you like what someone did on the board, you push the exalt button. This raises that member's karma one point. If you don't like what someone is doing, you push the smite button, which takes away a karma point from them. When you push onw of those buttons, a pm window pops up, and you tell the person why you exalted/smited them. This will cut down on smite wars.
Note from Gigi: This feature has been terminated, but we still expect you to be responsible with karma.
2.) What are the stars under my profile for?
Those are ranks. They change depending on how many posts you have. You start out as a new member.
3.) How do I get an avatar?
First, you must have a picture you want to use as your avatar.
you can not upload pictures from your computer, you have to have the url.
Good places to host your avatar are:
www.ImageShack.us
www.photobucket.com
4.) How do I add a signature picture?
As with adding an avatar, you have to have a picture to use. Please remember to keep your sigs fairly small, but still easy enough to see and read.
To add a signature picture you must go to "Modify Profile" under your Profile section. Scroll down to the Signature box and enter the URL of your picture. The URL must be surrounded by![]()
tags to make it visible.
Again, Imageshack or Photobucket are great places to host signature and avatar pictures. Photobucket I know will list the IMG codes that you can copy and paste.
If your question wasn't answered here, go ahead and make a topic with your question.
We will be updating this section as issues or questions arise.
Ship Debate Rules (and this applies to not only the Battlefield, but anywhere within this board):
Ah, yes, shippings. Filled with fun, excitement, and many fan squeals. Yet there can also be a bit of trouble…
Okay, so, I’m a fun lover – or at least I like to think so. And I appreciate the shippings just as much as the next kid, but lets not get carried away out here. So we’re gonna have to have a bit of Shippers Codes…well, there not exactly codes so to speak, they’ll be more of ‘guide lines’ if you will
.
First things first:
No bashing peoples ships. I don’t wanna here anything about “SuperHeROZjack” starting to throw a fit because “lovelysallyx3” started saying that kohzula was a dumb ship and saying jetzula owned him. You want people to respect your ship? respect their's.
Examples of bashing:
"I really don't like [insert ship here]."
THIS IS NOT BASHING. Don't start a fight over it. If someone is able to calmly say they dislike something you happen to obsess over--give that kid a pat on the back. This isn’t first grade where you get mad at jimmy because he doesn’t like fire trucks.
"OMFG1 [insert ship here] SUKS HARd! EWness HOW N@sty!"
THAT IS BASHING. Alert a staff member. DON'T REPLY TO IT!
Just so I'm perfectly clear on this one,
[glow=red,2,300]DON'T FEED THE TROLLS.[/glow]
If someone is being a huge dipstick to you/your biffs/your ship -- for the love of Agni, IGNORE THEM! Or if they won't stop just contact Gigirl942 or an admin.
So, a lot of you are going to be "going off to battle" into the battlefield (myself included
). I want to see a nice clean fight in here. I don't think anyone wants to come onto here one day and discover everyone ended up dying over one silly argument. Be mature guys.
Gigirl942 and the rest of this staff want to keep this a clean and fun board, so don't start fights. If you see a troll, just PM Gigirl942, or another staff member. We're all just looking out for you.
Happy shipping,

Just a word of advice from Amira:
There are two people involved in ship bashing:
1. The basher
2. The responder
Both are guilty of perpetuating the bashing. If someone is saying something you don't like and feel is bashing, don't respond. Many bashers are just looking for attention and if you don't pay them any mind, they get bored and usually leave.
Remember to treat people how you would want to be treated. Before you say something negative about a ship, think if you'd want something negative said about your own. Also, don't make statements without reasons to back them up.
Also, Gigirl942 has this to say to you guys:
We don't want what happened on DH after CoTL. We know about the spoilers for Secret of the Fire Nation and IT WILL INVOLVE SHIPS BIG TIME. So don't go making topics saying 'OMG WE WONN!!!!!1111 OH YA IN YOR FACE SUGAR QUEEN!' none of that. We won't have it. This is a fresh board, and we don't want to start it off in the wrong direction. Any problems let me or the rest of the staff know. Any crying or celebrating goes in the war rooms. And don't make a this into a bigger deal than it already is.
Thanks,
Gigirl942 and the RB staff
