Ultimate Guide
with Q&A
for TTG Members






First thing is what you should do before starting to post is read the rules. The rules can be found here:

Forums/rules.html



Wondering how to get a Badge or rank your way up in the ranks? Well heres how to figure out:

Forums/ranks.html




Wondering how to become known on TTG?

Well there are usually 2 main ways to become Famous and Known on TTG:

1st way is: Becoming super active and posting useful posts, and becoming a top poster.

2nd way is: Become active in the shoutbox. That way members can get to meet you and figure out who you are.




Finding the shoutbox:

The shoutbox can be found under the extra links tab on the forum navigation or by going on the following link:

Members_Shout.html




Wondering how to get some of those cool badges? Well heres how:

Trusted Seller: This badge is awarded by an Admin if he thinks you deserve it and sold enough goods to prove that your legit.

Rated Awesome: Theres really no description on how to get it, but I would suggest being awesome and posting helpful tutorials on the site.

M.V.C: Which stands for Most Valued Contributor and is one of the hardest ranks on TTG to earn. Only the best of the best get awarded this rank. You really have to prove yourself to get it. In other words it Awesome+Veteran put together.

Veteran: This is awarded to users that have been on the site for a while and have done alot to help the community out and other TTG members.



What are Avatars, Signatures, and Profile banners?

Avatar- Every member is allowed to have a an Avatar. The avatar image size has to be 100x100.

Signature- Only Gold Members (Premium) are allowed to have signatures. The members signature if found on the bottom left of each users reply or topic.

Profile Banner- All TTG Members are allowed to have a profile banner. Profile banners can be found on every TTG Members profile on the Top right.



Where can I found out and see which members on TTG have staff?

Well you can find out by either going to the Site Navigation Tabs Section, click Extra Links, then click on Site Staff or you can click on the following link to redirect you to the site staff members area:

Forums/staff.html

To figure out who has which rank:

Under the name of the member, it will say either Site Admin, Global Mod, or Section Mod.

So what ever they have under their name, thats the rank they are.




How to get staff:

Getting staff is one of the hardest missions to get on TTG. Staff are chosen by admins and other site staff. They are not chosen by post count. Staff are only given to people who deserve it and people who have been on the site for a while

Tip: Never ask for staff. usually if you ask for staff, you will never get it.

Another Tip: Do not act like staff or tell someone your staff but your not. If you do that it usually results in an Instant IP Ban.



Whats a Stiky? How do I get one?

A stiky is a very important topic which can be found on topic of each Forum Section. The topics with the green check mark are stikied topics.

You gets stickys if a staff member from TTG find your post useful and helpful.






The site arcade:

I think this is one of the most fun parts about TTG. You can play awesome and fun arcade games and compete against other members to get the highest score.

The Arcade can be found in the Site Navigation section under extra links or by clicking on the following link:

Arcade.html




TheTechGame Site Reputation Info:

What is rep?

Reputation is a number. Theres no really description to what is rep. But in other words it is basically feedback. If you help someone out you will usually get rep from the person.

Whats happens if I make a topic and ask for rep?

Well you probally will either get a ban or an suspension. Just remember Rep is not an Currency.

Where can I find out the Rep Levels and the Users with the most rep?

The following link will redirect you to a page where it will give you all the rep levels and the top repped users:

Forums/replevels.html




TheTechGame Download section:

The download section of TheTechGame is filled with awesome and fun downloads for every member of TTG. You can find the Download section on the top Navigation Section or by clicking on the following link:

You can find the Tutorial section under the Site Navigation Section at the top or by clicking on the following link:

This is a button if an member find your topic useful or helpful they click on it. And it will be added to your total number of Thanks to your account.

Where do I find the Thanks Button?

The Thanks button can be found under every single topic on the bottom right of the topic. If you find the topic useful or helpful click the button and it will add your thanks.

If you ask for Premium like make a topic saying "Can someone gift me Premium" then it can result to a suspension and its gonna give you harder chances of someone gifting you premium.






Mini Tutorial on: How to stay out of trouble on TTG.



- Right after you register read the rules.

- Do not make topics saying "I need a 10th Lobby" (Just look in the MW2 section for lobbies.)

- Do not argue with the staff. That usually causes a ban or suspension.

- Do not make inappropriate topics.

- If you are a Gold Member do not leak anything to the normal members.

- Always try to get along with members.

- If you have a problem with a member, instead of making a topic, private message an admin.

- Do not scam on TTG. It will cause in an IP Ban.

- Try to make your replys long, not 1 word.

- Try not bump your own topic.

- Don't copy and paste a topic that was already posted on the site.

- Don't make topics asking for reputation (usually you will receive negative rep)



How to make a Nice and Neat Tutorial:



The Basics:

- Well always use correct spelling. You can always use the spell checker that TTG has.

- Try to make your post well organized. Try to make it in order not out or order.

- Do not add to much color to your thread, I personally do not like colored thread. Simple and neat are the best.

- Try to give it a header. Details on what the Tutorial is about.

- Use complete sentences and good grammar.

- Use line breakers to divide it.

- Try to make the more important stuff bold

- Center the post, that way it makes it look better.

- Try to get more ideas from members for you to add to the thread.

- Try not to copy and paste some one elses thread.

- If you do copy and paste something give credit.

- If its copied and pasted add it in a quote, to make it look better

- Try to make it unique, something that no other post has.

- If the tutorial has been posted before, then theres no need for you to post it again.

- If you are talking about something like a button, try to add images.

- Never ever ask for your topic to be stikied. It will just result it to never get stikied.

- Try to give examples of what you are talking about

- Add spaces in between words. Don't put 5 words together that the reader can't see what you are posting.



Wondering how do I meet new members on TTG? Well heres how:

- Easiest way I know to meet new members is being in the shoutbox alot.

- Viewing other Members profile and writing coments on your wall.

- Open up a GFX shop if you are good and make some GFX

- Do give aways

- Help out other members if you know somthing that they don't

- Help new members out on TTG.





Some Tips on how not to Spam.

- When you make a Topic try to give description of what it is, not 1 sentence long or 1 word.

- When making a reply try not to reply with 1 word or 2.

- Don't bump your topic.

- If someone is asking for help don't reply saying "Sorry don't know what your talking about.

- Try not to reply to a Topic that you already have replied unless someone is asking you a question.

-If you see a Spam Topic, report it instead of making a Topic about it.











Well thats what I have so far. I will still keep updating the post.

Thanks for viewing it.


Under Construction still!
