1. Do NOT post one-liners.
This is the most common mistake new people coming from AR to sex141 make. For short replies, use the rating system instead. It keeps the noise down, and it helps the person your responding to, because you're bestowing points upon them. It wasn't a rule on the old forum,
but it's a rule here, so let's be respectful.
2. Use the report template.
The admins here have provided a
report template for members to use when writing reports. Almost everyone has been good about this.
2a. Level up by posting reports in the Newbie Reports subforum.
Until you have 100+ credits, the
Newbie Reports subforum is the only place you're allowed to create threads. I like this system, because this is where if you make mistakes, they can be corrected before you're unleashed on the rest of the forum. It really doesn't take long to level up either. It's a good way to train new users on forum etiquette that's specific to sex141.
2b. Try to use the [COUNTRY][STATE][CITY] Girl - Org format for report thread titles.
This isn't a rule, but it's a strong suggestion and convention that we've adopted to make reports easier to search for in the future. You don't have to do this, but you'll see that it's useful when you look at a thread list and can know at a glance what threads are relevant to you based on location.
3. Know that subforums can have their own specific rules.
Most importantly, the
Newbie Reports subforum is for reports only. If you want a discussion thread, you'll be able to create one in
Mongering Talk and a few other subforums AFTER you level up past 100 credits.
Curiously, this
North America subforum is supposed to be reports-only as well, but this non-report thread has been allowed to exist. However, in the context of onboarding a lot of new users coming from AMPReviews, I think it makes sense to bend the rules a little bit. This speaks to the fairness of the moderation here. There is a little bit of wiggle room when it makes sense, and it's not draconian at all. No one here is on a power trip, thank God.
With all that said, the basic rules of most forums apply here. Be good to one another, and you'll be fine.
