    Welcome to new users! On this thread, I'll be showing how to start well on forums. :)

    Forums section
    This section is the main section of theses forums. There is many topic such as Announcements, Informational, Feedback and suggestions, Introduction, Changelog, Empires, Skywars, Overpowered PvP, Skyblock, Survival games, Zombie infection, Prison, PvPFest, Factions, Creative, Survival, Blogs, Builds, Player report, Off-topic, Payment-related help, Help from staff and Help from community. In all thoses categories, you must create threads on the differents topic that I stated above. I'd suggest to don't reply to old thread as it's considered like a "bump". The thread will be locked if the reply was unecessary.

    Support ticket
    This is an option to contact easily staff members. There is 2 ways to contact staff. I'll talk about the second later. You may open a support ticket only if you need help. You can set the priority of the ticket and the department. (Billing support, Empire support, General support and Technical support. )https://www.minetime.com/support-tickets/open

    Shop
    When clicking this category, it automatically transfer you to minetime's webstore to purchase ranks, kits and more!

    Members
    In this section, you can see who has the most messages, all the staff team. You can also search up a member with his/her forums name.

    Vote
    By clicking this section, You're redirected to the official minetime vote page.

    Conversations
    You can start conversations with forums members and staff members. This is the second way to contact staff as I stated above.

    Alerts
    Alerts are "notifications" that you receive. You get an alert when someone replied to the same thread as you, When someone tag you ( @[Name] ), someone rated/quoted your post or someone post a message on your profile. To make sure to receive alerts on a important thread, press on "Watch thread" and set it to watch thread. If you don't want to receive notifications, you can set it to "Unwatch thread".

    Ratings
    The community can rate your post. We can rate your post: Like, Agree, Disagree, Funny, Winner, Useful, Informative, friendly and Optimistic.

    Your profile
    People can post messages on your profile. You have access to it by pressing on the picture on the top corner of the page. Also, you have access to all your forums account. Your personal details, edit your signature, change your password and more! Changing your name is possible by contacting @MinetimeSupport and @Megan.

    Your avatar
    You can replace the default picture by any pictures. You must use gravatar to change it.

    Conserning rules
    You can find the official minetime rules here: https://www.minetime.com/threads/minetime-rules.22180/

    Hope this guide helped starters on forums. If I forgot something, I'd really appreciate if you could tell me what to add. :)

    You can also upload an image.

    You can purchase more than ranks and kits.

    And what if it's a her?

    Or if someone rates your thread/post.

    True, it has many mistakes, but I think this will be a great guide once it's patched up.

    It's fine. I asked @Megan to delete this thread considering the hate I get.

    Not hate, it's a good guide. I'm just pointing out changes that can be made.
    Not being harsh, just pointing out grammar mistakes. The actual body of the guide is good.

    Everyone is going to have "hate". I think some of these people are just suggesting things to make this guide to it's greatest potential. Though you're missing a few things, I like it. :)
