Board Thread:General Discussion/@comment-25014034-20160326165422

Hey there wikians, Darthwikia25 here once again. I'm here to discuss a very important topic with you- Page Comments. I've done something like this before, but I saw Viperinelight50's sandbox and decided it'd be much more effective to convey my message in a more friendly, informal way. Let's get underway! :)

What to Do
First, lets go over what you should always keep in mind before commenting on the 0.15.0 page, or any page for that matter-
 * Always stick to the topic of the page- if the page's topic is 0.15.0, keep the discussions about the update.
 * Always keep replies to comments related to the topic of the main comment- When replying to a comment, don't go off-topic by saying 'Hi'. If the discussion is about Pistons, keep it about Pistons.
 * Keep your comment short- Always remember to keep your comment short and sweet. Divide it into small paragraphs if you feel its too big.

What not to do
Now, we move on to the larger list of what not to do. :)
 * Do not Spam or Vandalise- Pretty straightforward. Spamming is a bannable offence and you will be blocked after 1 warning.
 * Do not Speculate- Speculation leads to spreading of false information and new users end up confused. Use the forums or blogs for the same.
 * Do not fight or argue- Never fight with other users or admins in the comments. Listen to what they are saying and follow it. If you feel a discussion is needed, hit them up on their message wall.
 * Do not advertise- Blogs are meant for advertising, not the comments. Stick to the topic.
 * Do not Mini-Mod- Mini-Modding means telling other users what to do without a staff position giving you rights to do the same. It's bannable, so try not to mini-mod unless absolutely necessary.

Here are some good and bad examples of how a conversation should go on page comments. Let's take the 0.15.0 comments for example.

Good Conversation

 * User1: A, B and C are confirmed features for 0.15.0
 * User2: Wow! I'm really excited. Is D being added?
 * User3: No, D isn't. But E is!
 * User4: That's great!

Bad Conversation

 * User1: I heard will come in the update
 * User2: Hey! I'm new!
 * User3: I live in USA!
 * User4: What a noob!

See the difference? :)

Well, thanks for reading. I hope this little guide helps you out and prevents possible blocks and give you a happy and safe experience on the wiki!
