The "Introductions" Section - A Quick & Simple Guide

---

What is the "Introductions" section?

Well, it's a place where newly-registered members may introduce themselves to the "Yu-Gi-Oh Card Maker" community.

When am I allowed to introduce myself to the community?

Only newly-registered members may post introductions. These are people that have recently gained membership in this site within the past three months. Therefore, a person that has been on this site for more than three months, is not considered a newly-registered member.

How long will people be posting in my introduction? Like, could people still welcome me even though my introduction's over a month old?

Unfortunately, they cannot. Introductions are locked after one week from the original post date. This is to ensure "cleanliness" in this forum, so that everything isn't cluttered, and so that members won't post in old introductions. Also, one week is plenty of time for people to acknowledge newly-registered members.

How do you welcome a newly-registered member? Is there a proper way of doing so?

Yes, there is. A few simple statements such as, "Hello. It's nice to meet you. If you need any help with anything, message me!" is appropriate for acknowledging a newly-registered member. You may not create a post acknowledging someone new with less than three words. For example: just posting the word "Hi" won't work, because it's considered spamming, and will result in a 1-Day Expiration - 10% percent warning.

I left for a while, but now I'm back. I would like to inform the community that I have returned to the site. Am I allowed to post a thread in regards to my return?

Nope. This section is for "Introductions" only. To inform everyone that you're either leaving or returning, post in the Leaving/Return Thread.

Thank god, some people actually post there leaves and returns here. It floods this forum, but thanks to the rules, I am sure people will listen and only post intros here.

I love you. Intro section needed this for a freaking long time. :D

iƤôď™ · 10-26-2009, 09:47 PM

I agree with Dªrĸ because without this, this forum will be flooded with long by introductions

Hello forum. I wanted to introduce myself to the forum. I am new here as of today and today I made my first card. If you have any advice for me I would appreciate it. Thank you.

You can post this thread in the "Tutorials" sub-section; it doesn't have to be here in the "Introductions" section.
