SCRAP is a version of a guide to posting. Before you begin to post, just simply take note of these five things:
Simplicity
Content
Respectful
Attitude
Politeness
Other things-
Reporting Offensive Threads/Posts
You might come across an offensive topic, that you might think should be removed or edited. However, it doesn't help moderators at all if you make a post like "reported." in the thread, since that won't point them to the topic!
Near every post, is a "Report Mod" Button By clicking it, you will be given a form asking you why the post should be removed or edited. Simply fill out the form, click "submit" and voila- the post has been reported! When you report a post, all the moderators will get an email with the link to the post, and your reason to why it should be changed. If we feel the post is in fact worthy of editing/deleting, appropriate action will be taken.
However, Mod's Discourage Backseat Moderating
since you are doing there job. and usually irritates those reading the topic. Reporting a post is much simpler, efficient, and less annyoying. Please use the report button!

Simplicity
Content
Respectful
Attitude
Politeness
- Simplicity - Is your post simple and clear enough for other members' to understand and read? Please make all of your topics clear, and easy to follow. Otherwise, it may be trashed.
- Content - Is the content of your post or reply something that is suitable and will be tolerated on the forums? We don't appreciate any racial comments, or something that violates the Support Forum's rules. Also, make sure that your content appeals to all members. Remember to not make anything that is vulgar.
- Respectful - Are you being respectful to the other members and the staff? Don't use bad language to another member, or create problems with the staff. Keep an open mind and be a good person.
- Attitude - Are you having a bad day? If so, don't take it out on anyone else. A good attitude will keep you in the clear, and other members will respect you for it. Be sure you check your attitude before you begin to post.
- Politeness- Be polite to the other members. Just because their new and you have been around for a while doesn't mean that you can boss them or tell them what to do. You were new at one point, too. They may be a big help to the Support Forums after all.
Other things-
- Post Counts - Mean a lot to people. Just because you have 200 posts doesn't mean that you have an advantage over a new member. 200 of your posts may contain a smiley, or the word "lol". Remember, if you only reply when you have something interesting to say, then people will respect you as a member.
- Junk Topics - Are something that is considered to be random or completely off topic. If a member is talking about the news that's happening around the world, please don't reply to their topic and state "I just created my own thread!" We don't tolerate random replies or meaningless topics.
- Comments - Please keep all comments and suggestions to a minimum. We usually lock these topics for the simple fact that members will want to be aggresive and spam a topic on this subject. We will review all topics that may have comments and suggestions and choose the appropriate action.
