    Guides are important part of forge hub. Heres a guide to help you:

    [​IMG]


    Be clear and concise. You need to communicate your ideas very clearly. Decide what you need to say before starting and try not to stray from the point.

    Always have an image at the top of your guide. Sometimes the title "Guide to BR placement" just isn't clear enough, you need an image of a battle rifle. Some people are incredibly stupid, you must cater for everyone.

    Never tell people you are posting a guide to gain rep or a loyal position. Everyone is aware this is the real reason you made it but it is much better forum etiquette to not state it obviously.

    Add a conclusion. If your guide is long people make have forgotten the first half of the guide by the time they reach the end. The solution to this is to repeat everything you just said. Another added bonus this will bring is that is enables people to scroll through the whole guide, read only the conclusion and type a single sentence reply that appears to be a legitimate post. Everybody's happy.


    In Conclusion:


    Be clear and concise. You need to communicate your ideas very clearly. Always have an image at the top of your guide. Some people are incredibly stupid, you must cater for everyone. Never tell people you are posting a guide to gain rep or a loyal position. Add a conclusion.


    I hope you enjoyed this guide and that it helps you.

    PLZ REP ME

    LOLRUS! Thats all I have to say. Forge guides are becoming the 'forum AIDS'; half the ones I've seen don't even have the proper information!! (Lets hope mine does!)

    Making guides will not get you loyal, so HA! And all the guides so far have been so obvious. Do me 500 words on the plasma rifle, needler and Bruteshot.

    *Added to the Forge Tutorial Master Index*
    I see it fitting to add this mainly because the people who write guides usually look at other ones for format help. So when they go the index they see this.
