hi guys, just toying with the idea that any new member to the forum automatically receives a PM to help them out with the forum, directions on where their states introduction thread is, cruises etc, cruise conduct, forum conduct etc Any suggestions on what to include? Any one want to help out + write a paragraph or two ? free whiz points and maybe something like a custom title to those who help(worthless i know, but meh  ) |

tell them to search 5 times for any questions they might have BEFORE posting.
maybe threaten them with bans/suspensions/stupid titles/ negative wiz points if they post up really retarded questions and/or ignore peoples advice

Perhaps a guide on etiquette they should adhere to whilst posting on the site. You could call it how not to be floydiangreen (jokes).

The email could possibly outline the need for proper use of spelling and grammar, which tools to use to check spelling (i.e. spell check at the bottom near post and preview), and a directory to find their closest primary school to learn English again.

Primary schools do not teach spelling and grammar  |

Primary schools do not teach spelling and grammar What I meant to say was 'go to their local primary school and learn their ABC's again.' |

If a PM mentioning proper spelling and grammer is to be used on the site, I don't think it would be a bad idea to send it out to everyone on the forum. If I get some time at work I'll type up some stuff and PM you with it  |

 Coxy is metal as fuck. The whole reason he drives an auto Evo is cos manual boxes can't handle his massive power shifts or brutal clutch kicks. Mosh pits fear him. Bands adore him. Fans are in awe.
You will bow to Coxy.
fuck off ur depressed, ur just a sad cunt, go eat a fucking happy meal. |

Was also thinking of perhaps getting a unified member introduction & guide thread per state aswell to clean up the stickies and make sure each state has the same level of information. In the main PM/email sent out to members after signup would be a link to the relevant information
The next version of the forum supports joinable member groups too, So we can use that to inform every member in that group(eg every member in the particular state) of an upcoming cruise by PM(and subsequently email also)

I have to ask does peoples spelling n grammar really affect u guys that much?
I mean its a internet forum ffs designed for r31 enthusiasts. Its not a bloody prep school for teaching people how to talk properly.
Fair enough if someone is going full SMS abbreviated spec but who really gives a fuck?
I think if ure losing sleep over someones grammar u should harden the fuck up and remember what the forums for.
On another note i think the suggestions of a unified member intro and "how to search before u post" guideline would be a winner.
A similar thing for the classifieds section wouldnt go a miss either i reckon.
