[quote:0b05dbc167="Buzzfloyd"]If you are a newbie giving an opinion on an argument, you do so at your own risk. [/quote:0b05dbc167]

This sounds a bit harsh…It’s a good tip but may put people off posting valid opinions.
How about
“If you are a newbie giving an opinion on an argument, be cautious.
You may not fully understand the argument and cause more trouble”

It depends on how you view ‘argument’ some newbits may consider this a discussion and step back. I just think it needs to be clear.

[quote:0b05dbc167]Use proper English[/quote:0b05dbc167]

Might want to point out proper English does not include chat speak. Sad as it is, some people do not realise this

[quote:0b05dbc167]Thread hijacking happens* (Are there any thoughts on how this should be dealt with, the ability to split threads etc?) [/quote:0b05dbc167]

It depends on how far it goes, how about if an off-topic conversation goes on for x number of posts then mods could either split it, or if it wouldn’t make a new thread then kindly ask others keep to the topic.

[quote:0b05dbc167]Do not post in character* (We also had ‘do not register as a character’, but what about Rinso, Hex etc?)[/quote:0b05dbc167]

I don’t think it is necessary to say names shouldn’t be in character. We could make a recommendation that it is best to have something original for others to remember you by, rather than an already existing character. We can’t really say don’t register as one considering there are some who already have.

[quote:0b05dbc167]DO NOT post email jokes* (We should have an official thread for jokes, since some of us like to read them)[/quote:0b05dbc167]

There are some decent email jokes out there so an official jokes thread would be a good idea if someone wants to share.

Apart from that, it seems great.
