Author Topic: Hi, I'm new.  (Read 4971 times)

Hello! I'm a new player in Blockland. Just got full blockland today. I used to play ROBLOX but I kinda quit because of the community and other stuffs. The reason why I joined Blockland is that the gameplay looks awesome and the community is much more better than ROBLOX. :D

Welcome to Blockland.

Don't link to Roblox on these forums.

One bit of advice Listen to fjeld

Welcome to the forums, I suggest you read all the forum rules and use good grammar and you'll be fine. :)

Don't link to Roblox on these forums.
indeed, it's an automatic ban

Hello, and welcome to Blockland. Please, make sure you read the rules before you start posting madly.

Thanks! People are nice around here! :D
The people around here usually are, as long as you aren't the sort of person who 'Trolls' or just acts like an absolute idiot.

A few things you may wish to know about;

Swearing
Another thing you may wish to know, if you don't allready, is that the people on Blockland swear, usually a lot. Don't feel pressured to swear if you don't wish to, but other people will do so, so just a note if you aren't necesarilly 'fine' with swearing.

Racism
You will quite easily find racism upon these forums, just as it is the same on the majority of the internet. As with swearing, you may not agree with racism (Especially if it is against people of the same race as you) but all you simply need do, is shrug it off.

Drama
On the Blockland Forums, there is a section dedicated to Drama. In Drama, people rant about people who have angered them in-game and on the forums. It can often get rather 'hot' in Drama. With people swearing, and constant arguing, the place can be very confusing. If you aren't the sort of person who likes to watch complete strangers argue about un-important things, then i wouldn't really suggest going there. However, the Drama area does supply some good times, lot's of laughs, and the riddance of a few 'Un-needed' members. So, check it out if you want, but be careful, as this is where most of the Swearing and Racism takes place.

Starting a Topic
Allways, allways, start a topic in the right place. No one wants to see you asking asking for a weapon in the Add-Ons section. 'Suggestions and Requests' in the Suggestions and Requests area, 'Help' in the Help area, etc.etc...
Another note about this is Drama. Recently things were changed in Drama. Starting a Topic can be a risky thing today, especially if you are actually the one in the wrong. Topics posted in Drama can not be locked. So, if you wrongly accuse someone, and it back-fires, it shall be open for people to comment on.

Emotes
 :cookie:  :cookieMonster:  :panda:  :iceCream:  :nes:
These are the things to avoid. No-one minds if you use the CookieMonster once in a while, but over-using them will annoy people. When asking for something, or thanking someone, dont say;
Quote
Thnk U!!11!!1 I gIve U  :cookie: :cookie: :cookie: :cookie:'s
This will instantly lose most respect for you.

Bumps
When someone post's a topic, they will be at the top of the 'Topic List' in the area they were placed. As someone posts in a topic, that topic is instantly moved to the top of the list, therefore moving other ones down. If someone post's a topic, and it ends up near the bottom of the first page, or even on the second page, and someone posts in it, it will be moved to the top of the first page. This is called a Bump. The further down the list, the bigger the bump. Big bumps are annoying, especially if the Topic has Died (Reaching far down the list) or if the purposte of the topic, was completed. Again, big pointless bumps are not wanted, and will lose you respect.

ROBLOX
Many people on these forums do not like ROBLOX. These people have no reason for this, other than jumping on the 'bandwagon' to try and become popular. It doesn't work. Most people don't dislike ROBLOX as a game, but the players instead.(However there are people who dislike ROBLOX because of the actual game, but don't blame the game in general for it's bad members) This is mainly because there are certain members who insist on being rivals with Blockland. Similar there are people on Blockland who insist on rivalling ROBLOX. ROBLOX recently set up some 'thing' where members get points or whatever, for posting links to ROBLOX. Blockland got loads of these people spamming us with Links, so Badspot (The creator and Moderator of Blockland and it's Forums) Set it up so that posting a link to ROBLOX gave the person a ban. So don't link to ROBLOX, at all.

That's just about it for what i can think of, so, have fun, and obey the rules. And I hope the hints help. Enjoy your time.
