Forum policies
Before contributing to the Conlang Wiki Forums, please keep in mind a few best practices for conduct:

Be nice and treat people with respect.
 * The Conlang Wiki has editors from all around the world and from different professions and age groups - while you might disagree on something with someone, do not take the "Holier than Thou" attitude; all opinions are worth the same.

Try to find existing discussions first, but don't be afraid to start a new thread.
 * Please take a moment to sift through the boards to see if a discussion already exists about something you want to talk about. If you can't find what you're looking for, jump right in and start a new discussion!

Ask for help.
 * Notice something that doesn't seem right or have a question? Don't be afraid to ask in the Help Desk; if it's something bigger, feel free to contact User:Elector Dark.

Forum FAQ
How do I stay on top of discussions I'm interested in?
 * With a Wikia user account, you can follow specific conversations and then receive notification messages (either on-site or via email) when a discussion has more activity. Be sure to sign up for a Wikia account if you don't already have one.

How do I remove vandalism?
 * If you notice some spam or vandalism on a thread, hover your mouse over the offending text. You'll see a "More" button appear. Inside the "More" menu, you'll find "Remove". This will allow you to remove the vandalism and optionally inform an admin.

What are Kudos?
 * If you find a particular discussion or reply interesting, well thought out, or amusing you can show direct appreciation by giving it Kudos. They can be helpful in voting situations, too.

What are Topics?
 * Topics allow you to link a forum discussion with a wiki article. It's another way to keep Forums organized and to help people find interesting discussions. For example, a Forum thread tagged with "Lord Voldemort" will appear at the bottom of the "Lord Voldemort" article.
