Doomworld Forums FAQ

[Linguica]

These forums have a "FAQ" section but I have never put anything in it. However everyone has been complaining lately that the number of flogged-to-death topics and lame posts has reached an all time high, so I figure it's time to bust out the FAQ page so we have something to point people to.

Post your ideas for FAQ questions/answers in this thread. Offtopic posts will be deleted. Try and be serious, this is your chance to do something constructive about the situation some find to be getting out of hand.

[Peter Heinemann]

Q: How many new threads am I allowed to open each day?
A: Try to keep self-control and keep the forum from an overflow.

Q: How about opening flame-wars? It is so much fun!
A: Not allowed

Q: A user with weird opinions and views! Am I allowed to flame him to death?
A: No. Try to be constructive with your critics. Just saying "U suck" is not enough. Try to show tolerance and respect.

Q: I am new in Doom have low knowledge. Am I allowed to post?
A: You must not have to be able to answer to questions about the contents of Tom Hall´s Doom Bible correctly within 2 minutes or be banned. And you must not be a Doom2 master to be worth to post here.

Funny. What's quake 3 anyway? Probably some game for the Atari 2600. The only games I know about are the Doom series. Nothing else exists, does it?
