As requested by Glaceon, I have created a forum guide. I hope both new and old members alike will find this useful.

Hello people! Welcome to the Swordbattle.io Forum!

Forum Etiquette

The basic rule that comes to mind is to not be toxic. This is pretty straightforward. Avoid making any hurtful comments to other members on the forum. Try your best to be friendly to each other so everyone has a good time here. Cyberbullying will not be tolerated.

Creating posts

When creating posts, be sure to choose the proper category. We have two categories here are Off-topic and Swordbattle.io. Whenever you are creating skins, reporting bugs, or offering suggestions to the game, choose Swordbattle. Anything that is related to the forum itself or completely unrelated to the game should have the “Off-topic” category.

A small suggestion: Before posting, you should pause and consider if it would bring any meaning. Ideally, a post should spark a conversation of some sort.

Creating Skins

One of the many amazing things about this game is that players are able to create their skins. If you’re creating a skin for the first time, make sure you visit this first:

Before moving on to the next section, I would like to emphasize the main ideas from Gautam’s guide for creating skins (as well as a few comments of my own):

  • Don’t take any images off from Google and claim it as your own creation.
  • Make sure that you use the templates provided by Gautam.
  • Before posting a skin, really think about whether or not you’ve put a LOT of effort into creating it. Low effort or poorly made skins are not worthy to be added to the game.
  • In order for skins to be added to the game, they must be approved by @ManagePasswords

If you would like feedback, advice, or help when creating a skin, I suggest asking help from our amazing skin creators: @frumpy and @Slapadabass

Communication

This section’s pretty straightfoward. If you would like to socialize with a specific forum user, you can send them a quick message or talk to them through a personal chat. You can also use the public chat if you would like to share things to the community as a whole. If you have a comment on something a forum user said on a post, simply reply to them. But once it starts becoming a long, back and forth chat between you and one other user, please consider moving the conversation to a personal chat.

Thanks for reading this guide!

Please let me know if you guys have any suggestions so I can add on anything that I missed to this guide. Thanks again!

This is a new rework that changed up things

As Slapadabass suggested, I have decided to no longer make this a wiki until swordz learns how to act mature. As always, just let me know if you guys have any suggestions, and I would be more than happy to add them.

Thank you guys so much for reverting the guide back to normal several times! And thank you to @twofoursixeight for all the contributions you’ve made to this forum guide!

Well, luckily I think gautam made it so only TL2 can edit the post. You should be safe but whatever you think is best

Remove the this is a wiki post edit thingy that is the first sententence of the post because its not wiki


Update: TL1 cannot edit wiki posts anymore.
@Shadowblade can you make the post wiki again?

6 Likes

Remade it a wiki. If things get out of control, I’ll remove it again as done by @Shadowblade

I have edited the post to add new sections, mainly pulled from my forum guide. Some other minor improvements have been made to the post as follows:

  • No more @gautam ping when editing posts
  • Clearer category tags
  • Overall twice as long as before
