Notes This thread is a remake from a thread I made previously for another A Thinking Ape Inc. game. I am not affiliated/representing moderators or developers. The best way to avoid silences and bans is to read the rules and to use your common sense. I hope that this thread can help you.
this will help a lot of new players If its ok I'll be linking this a lot bravo Sticky pls .-.
I remember when Jordan and them use to make these to actually help people, now everyone wants to be a mod is all... Many, many significant errors as well.
ok, I'll make it clear. I DO NOT want to become a moderator. There is no chance for me to get this position right now and I am not looking forward to get this job anyways.
Just cos he made a guide doesn't necessarily mean he wants to be a mod I think pimd as a community needs to pull together to help the new players And this guide will.
I never said making a thread made you a wannabe mod. I even said how Jordan made like bb code guides and they were extremely helpful and detailed. This thread is wrong about more than it's right about in everything that's not common knowledge.
Vasto, you act like a kid when they get some competition and when they are worried about not winning their competition. I wonder who, between you and I, really want to be named moderator.
