This
forum is easy to get through, but just in case you need help, your
undead administrator will be here to help you EVERYWHERE YOU GO. Okay,
maybe not "everywhere", but in the forum. Rolling Eyes

How to make a post:
1. Go to the forum you want to post in.

3. Click it, and make a title, body and send it! And watch the responses!

How to reply to a post:

About Your Rank:
If
you're new, you have a "Please Review The Rules" rank. This means you
haven't posted enough replies or topics to exceed to a new rank. There
are many different kind of ranks, but you need to work to get to them!

I just got banned yesterday, and when I got unbanned, my rank was "Pwns at breaking rules"! Why?

You
only get this rank when you get banned. And after the time of your ban,
when you're unbanned, this rank will stay with you. Forever. (Unless
you happen to turn into a special user)

Speaking OF special users....

There are many different kinds of users out there. Here are some of the special user ranks!

Admins- Such as myself, we are the pwninaters of the forum. We make rules, and stuff like that, with help from mods. Speaking of..

Global Moderators- Kind
of like an admin, these users help moderate the forum to make it safe
and secure! If you ever come across one, listen to what they say!

Test Moderators-
Just as important as regular mods, these are users training to be mods!
We don't pick 'em randomly though. To be one, you must be an awesome
user with great experience.

Infractions:

Well noob, an infraction is a warning letting you know you have broken a rule. You will have up to 5 infractions until you are banned.

Good question noob. You get infractions if you break one of the forum rules. (VIEW THEM!) There is no way you can lose an infraction, unless you buy the oppurtunity at a forum store.

How to make a sig:

A sig is practically a locker. Design it and stuff. You can add things such as pics and graphic designs. But how do you do it?

1. Go to profile. There should be a tab that says "Signature".
2. There are 2 boxes. The one above is your current signature, and the one below is where you make it.
3. If you want to add a URL image, you can use the button that says Image.
4. That should have the sign
5. The button "Old signature" will bring you back to your old signature. Preview will show you what your sig will look like. "Save" will keep the sig that you made, and it will be out 2 the public. : Awesome

Coins:

So there are things in Lighthouse Lookouts called coins. These coins can help you buy things at coin shops. You earn them buy posting!

1 Post= 3 Coins
Creating a Topic= 5 Coins
