"Rules" need to be updated =3

What rules?

Lol these used to exist, but then they poofed when the forums got updated.  We are still desperately searching for their whereabouts.  I hear they're relaxing in the tropics.

I think Napalm made them go *poof*.

LOL or maybe they are in Las Vegas or even in a resort.

i'm wanna know about reputation, attack and defence in my profile.....

what is that (i'm think reputation is look like karma cuz now i'm don't see any karma?)  but what about other?

Reputation is basically the same as the old Karma system, only difference being that besides getting rep from other users, your forum activity also gives you rep. Also, the amount of rep you can give to others, is based on the amount of Reputation you have.

That Attack and Defense is related to our new forum game, Battle (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=battle). You can find the link in the main navigation. It's basically this forum game you play using your forum account. Go check it out and you'll see.

Question: Is every body automatically joined to the battle?

How do you add a screenshot or other pictures in a forum post?

[willng3]

Upload the image to a site such as imgur.com (http://imgur.com), copy the image URL, paste the URL in between the [img] tags found by clicking on the button to the right of the "Sp" button and then you're set.  If you're not uploading a picture then you can just copy the image URL.  Make sure the image ends in a .jpg, .png, etc. extension or else the image will not appear.

What means the stars behind some threads?

Star Rating System
We now have a topic rating system. Look for stars at the top of the original post. Click on the stars to rate the topic.

Facts about the rating system:
- You need to be Jr. Member or above (30+ posts) to be able to rate topics
- You cannot rate your own topics
- You can see the number of ratings given by moving your mouse cursor over those small stars on the right side of the topic title (not the big stars inside the topic).
- You cannot change your rating (keep this in mind when rating card ideas etc. that are still a work in progress)
- You cannot list topics by rating. This feature might be added later.

Rating guidelines:
1 star: topics that you think don't offer anything to anyone and should not been event started in the first place.
2 stars: topics that might not be completely useless, but are very close. Maybe they lack content or are very poorly written.
3 stars: topics that you consider average. They are ok, but nothing amazing.
4 stars: topics that go that extra mile and offer something special.
5 stars: topics that you think are amazing. For example, topics where the poster spent countless of hours building or developing something that benefits the whole community.

These guidelines above are just examples. You are of course free to use your own criteria. Just don't simply give 1 star to topics you don't like, and 5 starts to topics you do like. Those two scores should only be given to topics that are either really good, or really really bad.
