Not really hard.....#1: Fill out a profile location.

#2: Don't post multiple post minutes apart or start multiple threads unless the subject matter is SO far off the original kart thats it's almost not relevant....

#3: Check your attitudes at the door.

#4: Don't argue or try to downgrade the quality of advice given....even if you KNOW it's bad advice.....shut your mouth and let other more seasoned members handle it....(that member was only trying to help....) it stings less when we break it to them....

#5: Don't be a jerk or a troll....first place: nobody likes them....secondly, you are going to be so intellectually outmatched here, we'll have to seriously dial it back....just so you don't completely get lost.....

Finally: FILL OUT A PROFILE LOCATION.....(AND NOT A SMART @$$ "some fing place in the USA!!!!) (Not making any friends here THAT way!!!! We all filled out ours.....(do you need to hide it? )

While you could have filed a few of the edges down a little bit, I think you're aiming for the right target. It's yet to be seen if the target audience gets it, and it need's to be vetted by the moderator's and our site admin.....

All that said, I vote sticky!!!!!!!

I doubt a sticky would help....besides being covered in the rules...mostly, it's just good etiquette on any forum...but sometimes we seem to get some REAL winners here!!!!!

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you, Pat; #1, #2 & #3 are ok but, the rest need a bit of cleaning up, not so harsh, Doug; remember, we want noobs to stick around...

Since the thread was closed. Lets add to this one:
DO NOT COME ON THIS FORUM AND ASK FOR MONEY FOR YOUR LAME MINI BIKE PROJECT.
unbelievable. http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=30888

Its bad enough I have to tell 2 dirtbags NO I wont give them my "spare change" just in the time it took to fill up my gas tank. No less in my Companies work truck while I am working on SATRUDAY! Some idiot thinks it is smart to Beg for spare change on my Forum.

Just don't do it!

Haha gofundme is becoming a joke anymore. People on there begging for money in general, exploiting religious people, realizing "maybe I should have bought insurance", trying to get funding for a "new" product they're "developing" (via importing from china...) and then half of them are probably straight up lies anyways.
