Citadel Advice
If you are a new member who found this thread by providence, read the advice, take it to heart, and post. These are collected posts that will help you understand the Citadel AND be more effective and efficient here.
Like editors going over the works of new writers see the same kinds of mistakes over and over again, senior members here have seen new posters make the same kinds of mistakes over and over again. In fact, most senior member seem to give the same basic advice over and over again to most new members. So much so, some of it is cut and pasted from previous posts.
Those posts and similar articles created by senior members on the site are collected here for ease of access. As new good advice pops up, it will be added to this thread.
So read the advice, post with it in mind, and come play with us.

Ok, there is no real place to put this but I think it needs to be said and put up here for everyone to view. This is not for gaming terms, it is not how to view rules or your gamers better. But it is an idea on how to respect your fellow Strolenites.

to this thread eventually. It is the benchmark for a 3.0 post.
Having some benchmarks sounds like a good idea, but it is hard to pinpoint anything with the spread of opinions people have. A three to one might be a four or two to another. As long as we keep the advice sound, demonstrate some more Golden Submissions I don't think we need to single out any particular posts for any particular score.
Nice advice for new members (like me!)
Add this to the listing when you finish the rest of the posts you need to do first.

Added the one post Moon mentioned and another great one.
This thread is a good one!
Wow, one of my subs got put up here.
But yes for al lthe new members, read over these submissions here and they will help you greatly in your stay here at Strolens.
Think we could change the Codex to just plain 'Citadel Advice' in homage to all the others that are adding to it?
A Codex of sound advices
Another instant favourite.
I didn't realise a codex like this already existed until it came up in my 'UNVOTED by' section.
