[glow=purple,2,300]Welcome to Lunaire! I thought it was about time we got a general FAQ for Lunaire, but also for Proboards and what its all about. There are some things that you may not have known stashed away here so pay attention of I'll have to thwack you. ^_^
What is Lunaire
It is currently only this, a forum, but it will eventually be a virtual petsite.
When will Lunaire be functional?
~Quoth Roxanna: There's no estimate right now as we haven't gone that much into development, I mean there's art; pets, NPCs, maps, items, layout graphic, avatars, banner...
Basically, we just don't know right now.
Can I join if I'm not 13?
Sorry, no. Proboards T&A (terms and conditions) clearly states that no member may be under the age of 13. That said, you are welcome to come back and join on your 13th birthday.
What is Karma?
Karma is a game. The point system isn't meant to be anything but good fun. If you like what someone has said, you can exalt them (add one karma to their count) or you can smite them (minus one karma). Don't get upset if your karma is negative, its not meant to be serious.
What sort of things can I post on this forum?
Anything that is PG-13. That means no sexual content, no foul language, no insulting of other members, no pick-pocketing and not too much graphic content. We rely upon you to discern what is and is not appropriate content for this forum, however, the mods will not hesitate to thwack you if we feel you have breached those guidelines.
Can I request a staff member to change my profile?
There are certain profile aspects that a staff member is able to change. Post count, karma and custom title among them. There is no logical reason why we shoud change your post count but you can certainly ask politely for your karma or custom title to be changed. Bare in mind that staff members may respond differently. If they are unwilling or too busy to change your profile, accept that and simply ask another of our staff to do so.
Can I post in another language
The general answer is no, Proboards T&C clearly states that all posts must be in English. There is some wiggle room for things such as Latin, common phrases or short snippets. Anything more than this makes it difficult to moderate the forum.
Do Poboards support any form of text-modification code?
Yes! Proboards uses UBBC code which allows posters to modify their text in a number of ways. You don't need to know how to write UBBC, simply click the button corresponding to the effect you wish to apply and the code will be auto-inserted. *flaunts my spiffy glow*
Who are the staff members and what do they do?
There are four main groups of staff members:[/glow]
Admins: [glow=purple,2,300]They are the big guns, bosses of the whole place. Cross 'em at your own peril.[/glow]
Writers: [glow=purple,2,300]They do everything from descriptions of NPCs and items, to writing mini-sagas, plots and stories for the site.[/glow]
Artists: [glow=purple,2,300]Do I really have to tell you what they do?[/glow]
Mods: [glow=purple,2,300]These are the guys who'll stalk you, follow you down a dark alleyway and bash you over the head with a 4' by 2'. They babysit the forum, making sure everything is tidy, deleting spambots and keeping the forumers in toe.
Admins
Roxanna
Spiffay
Writers
Sarn
Grayamir
Lance
Artists
Grayamir
Lymin
Mods
Sarn
Quinn
Note that some of the staff members fall under more than one category and some do jobs that don't require a category of their own but still demand a lot of work. They're a great bunch!
Any further questions can be PM'd to me or any other staff member.
Have fun![/glow]
