Things to avoid:

• Suggestions (1)
  
• Complaints (2)
  
• StarCaptain vs. Non/StarCaptain etc. (3)
  
• Clan/Club like activity (4)
  
• Character History/Story (5)
  
• Questions (6)
  

Things OK to post:

• Here in MechQuest General Discussion, we enjoy discussing the game, so if your post is not mentioned above, or in the larger detail below and it discusses MechQuest it should be OK! *
  
• Design Note threads (7)
  
• Questions promoting Discussion
  

* Threads and post appropriate for MechQuest GD can change from time to time as the need arises.

Long Versions:

• (1) - Suggestions are currently allowed only in the tagged threads Thanks for your patience in waiting for a suggestions board!
  
• (2) – If you are unhappy with an aspect of the game, and have a well thought out reasoning on how to work with what is there then put a post together detailing exactly what you dislike and how you believe it can be fixed. Remember though, not everyone may dislike that aspect of the game.
  
• (3) – Star Captain vs. non-Star Captain can lead to arguing and or flaming which is unwanted and unneeded. The AE team puts content in for both free and paid players.
  
• (4) - Clan/Club Like Activity. What is meant by this is that there should be no Star Crew type threads, encouraging people to join it, especially as we are not sure they can! Clan/Clubs belong in the Clans/Clubs forum It is recommended you read all of their stickies to ensure you do not go wrong...
  
• (5) – Although I’m sure you can be very creative, all sort of creative writing belongs in the Legends & Lore not MechQuest GD, thanks!
  
• (6) - Questions includes:
  
  
  
  • When is the release coming?
    
  • Questions about how to play
    
  • Questions about the forums
    
  • Why was my post locked/deleted?
    
  
  Threads complaining or whining about when a release is going to be out is not allowed. The Game Staff will have the release otu when they feel it is bug free and ready to go. So please be patient and wait for the release.
  The second, MechQuest Q&A is a wonderful place for advice.
  Questions about the Forums belong in the Forum Issues board.
  The final one should be taken up with the AK/mod who locked/deleted it, failing that ( it doesn’t sort it out ) to the head-mod of the board.
  
• (7) - Design Note threads. Please note that they are not allowed if there is another Design Note thread for the day already up. Also, please leave the tagging to an AK/mod.
  

Remember to please keep all posts on topic!

Long Versions:

These would be , but not limited to , " Where is the best place to farm " , " What is the best Mech for me " or the current hot topic which is usually the current update.
  
• (2) – Discussion goes in MechQuest General Discussion, not in MechQuest Q&A. Any threads turning into discussion are also not allowed.

• (4) Not adding to the answer. If your post adds nothing to help the person, please do not post, side comments are not needed and thus should not be posted, the aim is to help people as best is possible!
  
• (5) If your question is not about MechQuest it does not belong here. Please use the AQ Q&A for AdventureQuest questions and the DF Q&A for those about DragonFable, thanks!

What Not to be Posting:

• A duplicate entry (1)
  
• If you do not have all information (2)
  
• Anything which is not a 'pedia entry (3)
  
• Guides (4)
  
• Do not reply unless updating (5)
  

What is OK to post:

• 'Pedia Entries not ruled out by the above. (6)
  

Longer Versions:

• (1) - Duplicate entries are ones where you make an entry the same as someone elses. Even if yours is better, but theirs fulfils all that they need, then you should reply a good version to their's instead of make your own.
  
• (2) - Do not post unless you have all of the information needed to post, otherwise it can be seen as a placeholder, so make sure you have the ability to fill out all fields with the information.
  
• (3) - 'Pedia entries are as follows:
  
  
  
  • Monsters - Anything which you can fight in a battle in-game.
    
  • Mecha Bases - These are the items that you buy, which you put your weapons onto. They are the "base part" of your mecha and also change the Health/Energy.
    
  • Mecha Equipment - These are the weapons/helms you put on your Mechas.
    
  • Player Equipment - Weapons and clothes that you as a character use.
    
  • NPCs - Non-Player Controlled Characters. People you interact with in-game
    
  
  If your entry would not be any of those, or their descriptions, then it doesn't belong in the 'pedia as it is not an entry.
  
• (4) - Guides. Although they are helpful, they are not currently allowed in the 'pedia just yet as there aren't enough items to need them, all that's needed is a small index, and each seciton has one.
  
• (5) - Do not reply unless you are updating the existing entry. Discussion goes in MQ General Discussion and questions in Q&A, Bug reports go in Gremlins not the 'pedia entry, thanks!
  
• (6) - 'Pedia entries not ruled out by the above, thanks for making them, and please make sure that they are in the right place.
