I decided to write a FAQ based on questions that are being asked commonly as well as questions I except a lot of users to have, so here goes nothing:
I can't view [a specific] thread! Why?
There are two possible reasons for this:
-it's a thread in the trading post
To be able to view posts in the trading post, you need at least 100 posts. This is to prevent people from coming to GG to scam people. If you want to trade, you will need to gain 100 posts first. Note that spamming your way to 100 by leaving short and pointless messages like "k", "thanks", "good luck", "lol", "hello" or copying and pasting the same sentence in many threads will not get you into the trading post, it will get you banned.
-it's a thread in the underground
The gaminggutter underground is a section which members are only able to access if they applied
here. The underground is meant to be for special content, which should not be accessible by the public. Make sure to read the
Guidelines before applying for UG (which is short for Underground)
I can't reply to threads! Why?
You have not activated your account yet. Please click the link you received in your activation email. If you didn't get one, contact nomhak or Kyo per PM
Why was I warned/infracted, I was only replying to a thread!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's most likely one of the following reasons:
-You were going off topic/discussing in the pit
-You replied to a very old topic
-You made a one word reply ("lol")
-You spammed (Your post didn't have anything to do with the topic)
-You were using too many exclamation marks
-You were posting in a forum you should not be posting in (Underground applications,staff applications)
-Read the damn
rules What are GPoints? What are they for? How do I get them? What do I do with them?
Well, my child of the sun, GPoints are sort of a currency on the board. They're not actually worth anything, and right now there isn't really anything you can do with them, so they're just sort of like a digital ego boost. You can give them away, collect them or trade them for services perhaps?
As for getting them, that's relatively easy. With every post, everytime you get positive reputation and everytime somebody presses the thank you button on one of your posts (the thank you button is in the bottom right corner of every post, you can try it out by thanking me for this post).
But that is not all! You lose Gpoints for every private message you send, every time you get negative reputation points and every infraction you get.

Also, I added a neat little [faq] tag
use it like this:
[faq]faq you![/faq ]
faq you!
That way you can link to the faq without having to find the thread!
