The Beginner's Guide to the TnCPCPF Forums (Advanced)

<-- (First Guide) A Beginner's Guide to Posting on the TnCPCPF Forums
(https://cpforum.forumotion.org/t247-a-beginners-guide-to-posting-on-the-tncpcp-forums)

In the first Beginner's Guide, learning about the rules and posting is a must for newbies. I'm pretty sure that you have gotten a number of posts and SPs. Now, for the more ADVANCED stuff.

Chapter One-History

TNCPCPF is actually a backup forum, if not a permanent forum. Most of us here are actually from CPCPF (ClubPenguinCP Forum) which is now overrun by spam bots and inactive moderators (and admins). Here is a brief history of our community.

December 2010- CPCPF is officially open to the public. First Christmas
January 2011 onwards- CPCPF is really active
April 2011- Most number of people online-566
June 2011- New mods
Late 2011- CPCPF tumbling, Second and last Christmas
January 2012- Happy new Year. The last Year
February 2012- Forum Hacked
March 2012- Period of inactiveness
June 2012- 20 or so active members remaining
August 2012- Forum dead. Everyone moves to TNCPCPF.

It's a really sad story. When I first became active in December 2012, I hoped to get 2500 posts. But everything changed. People quit, there were no active topics, and when I checked just now, one section of the now-dead forum had spam threads on 20+ pages. And to think that it was once a thriving community.

Of course, we won't move to TCPCF, our rival forum. We are here,still as one,and waiting for a supposed update and cleanup of the original forum.

Chapter Two- How are SPs used?

SPs, you think maybe worthless. But they can be used! Signature allowance, name colouring, pet food and power, etc. Here are some examples and prices (in SPs) from Maygirl's Forum shop. Also, FAQs as well.

COLOURS INFO for name

Available colours:
Pink 1000
Purple 1000
Light Grey 1000
Dark Grey 1000
Light Orange 1000
Dark Orange 1000
Green 1000
Dark Green 1000
Light Green 1000

GOLD MEMBERSHIP INFO

Gold membership grants any member who purchases it entrance into the GOLD section of the forum. It costs 700 SitePOINTS

SIGNATURE PERMISSIONS:

Gives you access to a signature 600 SP's. Normally you aren't allowed a signature, not any more!

Personalized Ranks:

These are little things where you can choose what is written underneath your name, if it follows the rules that is. 900SPs

SALES

If Maygirl's nice and in a generous mood she will hold a special sale for whatever reason.

FAQ

Why are colours so expensive!!??
Because I don't want everyone to have them.
For gifting what are messages?
Something you write to the person you are gifting, which is why it is PM'd
I payed for something, but I haven't gotton it yet. WHY???
I first take away the SP's you payed then give you your itrem and if you asked for a reciet I PM it to you but I'm not online 24/7 so it may take a while.
I bought something that is free to mods then I became one, what happens?
See refunds section.

REFUNDS:
Refunds are only available through mod promotions and you bought something that are free to them you get refunded HALF PRICE. If you purchased a colour you get refunded the full 1000 SP's wether or not it was a sale, plus an extra 200 for closure.
If you change your mind you get 0% of a refund so your going to have to save up all over again!

GIFTING

You can gift SPs to anyone for any reason. So long you don't get a second account and gift the SPs to yourself.
Rules:
SPs will be deducted by you
You can't gift more that you have
You can only gift 3 times a week
Don't demand SP's

Now, to gift fill out this forum and PM it to Maygirl.

Note:
Moderators/Super Mods
In the shop moderators get all privledges except name colour for free and personalized ranks. Moderators cannot purchadse name colouring because it will confuse newcomers.

Training Moderators
Training mods get some free permissions. They get gold membership but not signature permissions/name colouring. Like Mods/S-Mods they cannot purchase name colouring.

Chapter Three-Special Notes & Fun Facts

*In posting games you do not get SPs as it does not makes sense to post things like " 2 doughnuts", etc.

*Contests and Parties are held every month. Join and win Prizes.

*Make quality posts/threads, like this thread to gain more SPs. And make posts make descriptive to earn more SPs. But spam threads and posts to gain SPs may result in you getting banned.

*IP checks are held every once in a while. Refrain from using proxy servers if you use them all the time, as this may lead the staff to suspecting you are hiding something. If let's say you do not know why a super-mod is asking you about it and you don't know what he/she is talking about, give them a reasonable reason, and be honest and polite. If you refuse to give a good reason,you may be perma-banned. As in PERMANENTLY BANNED.

*Ccpenguin8's graphic shop is the official graphic shop of the forum. And there are also 2 others- Jorsnape's and Mango Smango's shops. And maybe JackPirate will open one soon (he makes really awesome graphics, and is inspiration for many graphic and effects-making shop owners)

* Our forum has an official newsletter run by Maygirl herself. It provides updates on the forum, plus user of the month

* If you get into an argument, end it quickly. Otherwise you may get banned.

If anyone wants to add anything to the Advanced stuff list, do let me know by posting here.

The chatbox info and mods would be nice. Also, you should mention that Ccpenguin's Graphic shop isn't the official graphic shop. It was only partly. However, it is the official graphic sponsor for the youtube channel!

[Gotchee]

Nice guide! It fullfils mine! I think both should be stickied , so new members can see them !

Well, it sort of is the official one. It was the first and I asked Maygirl for permission, so yeah.

Gotchee, these would be ideal stickies, but I can't really stick two guides about essentially the same thing, so which one do you want me to stick guys?

Maybe we could make them both into one post, giving credit to both users?

[totelyawsome]

really good both nicktang's and gotchee's both are really good i hope more member's will make some more

[JackPirate45]

No offence, but that guide is way better then Gotchee's. I think it covers way more information. Also, I reallly enjoyed reading it! Great guide.

[Nicktang10]

I have merged Gotchee's and my guides together. You can close the current one and sticky the merged one.

[Maygirl2]

Okay, done and done.
