This is a guide to help nebies or members who have been on the lounge for quite a while learn the following.....

1) How to create a poll.
2) What are Tokens/Karma?
3) How to become more noticable.
4) How to deal with spammers.

....and more...

1)How to create a poll

When you are posting a new post do the following..

Step 1 - Type up your question in Poll question
Step 2 - Write answers in Poll option(If you want more options go to Poll Choice Voting and click on multiple choices then keep pressing add option button new tabs will appear)
Step 3 - You have the choice to run a poll for how many days you want if you want it be become a never ending poll just leave it blank or enter 0



2)What are tokens/Karma


You can buy virtual items or forom addons by using tokens.Tokens are what you get when you post. You also get them from someone as a way of saying thank you. You can use then in the SwapitShop Lounge Shop for items (Hence the My Items bit in your profile on the left) or you can use them to get a name change or custom rank. You can also use them to place an Ad here on SwapitShop Lounge

Karma is like a way of rating you, where 1 karma is the worst and 5 karma is the best, sort of like a 1* hotel compared to a 5* hotel.

3)How to become more noticable


you can become more noticable by giving ideas or posting helpful posts.It doesn't matter how much posts you have it is the way you structure the post.if you help members on this lounge they will appreciate you and give you karma and tokens and possibly a good comment,then when it comes to competioins likemember of the week members will think of that time when you helped them and you might become member of the week.Basically help and you will be rewarded.


4)How to deal with spammers

If you see anyone spamming in your thread or in someone elses thread report it immediatly to the Reports Central section at the bottom of the page or pm a moderate and they will be delt with.

remember do not spam yourself because if you spam you can get banned which can lead to perment ban which means leaving this lovely lounge.All I am trying to say in DO NOT SPAM.
