Welcome guide v2

Welcome to the forums! This is a short guide that will teach you about them. Please read the sections below!

Posting Questions

Questions belong in Help. Remember to write your problem with detail, so you can be better helped! If you have a suggestion for the gimkit developers, this isn’t the place for it. Post suggestions here.

Limits

On your first day here, you will only be able to make 10 replies. This is to prevent spam bots, and while annoying it does help create a cleaner forum. You also cannot post replies less than 20 characters long.

Jοin Codes

You are not allowed to post jοin codes or publish links. This rule is in place to prevent spam, s please don’t break it.

Tags

Tags are used to help people find posts easier. For now, don’t add tags to your posts, as the tag system we use is quite complex, and some tags are reserved only for the gimkit team. Community members will tag your post with necessary tags for you, just ping one!

Trust Levels

As you spend more time on the forum you will progress through the trust levels, the highest obtainable level being “regular”. The higher the trust level you have, the more things you can do on the forum. For more details on the permissions trust levels grant, you can check out this guide.

Difficulty Ratings

On some guides you may see some colored emojis. These are from the difficulty rating system, a way for you to quickly find the difficulty of a guide. Below is a chart of what they mean:
:blue_square: - Very Very Easy
:green_square: - Very Easy
:yellow_square: - Easy
:orange_square: - Medium
:red_square: - Hard
:purple_square: - Very Hard

Welcome to the Forums!

That’s all the info you need to know! Now, go and make some posts :slight_smile:

What do you guys think of the incomplete tag?

We should replace incomplete with wip, since wip seems to be more used.

Nvm it is gone. How about 1wo though?

Does that mean something?

1wo is one way out. Should we have a different tag for each official gamemode?

How about this. To make an official game mode a tag, it has to have at least 3 guides. For a video game like amongus to have a tag, it has to have at least 6 guides.

What about :black_large_square: for the hardest guide of its time?

I don’t think we have any guides that I think truly deserve that title. Can you point some out?

Keyboard and _____Land. They might not be hard now, but they were hard when they first came out.

Keyboard didn’t deserve to be :black_large_square:.

I personally would disagree with that. The math for an even more advanced keyboard than we currently have has been around for a long time, I think since early june, the current keyboard design that can backspace just stores one letter per property, and the current keyboard that can’t backspace just appends text to a property when a button is pressed. Hardly even close to a :black_large_square:, probably more of a :red_square:.

_____Land is complex but I also don’t think it was difficult on another level. Since it’s literally just following instructions, with no advanced concepts to understand, I would consider it a low :purple_square:.

Real difficulty doesn’t come from what is being made, it comes from the level the guide is written at. A guide like AUO I think is more difficult than the keyboard because the reader is learning about a mechanic, rather than copying something down. Guides where the reader blindly follows instructions are less difficult than guides where complicated systems are explained to the reader, even is the system they build is more complicated.

Very agree

I would like to make a motion to turn this guide into the new edition of:

The link doesn’t work. Also, on the color thing, I agree that nothing currently deserves a black rating. __Land comes close, but not quite. Also, on the tags, I think beginner must reads should be a short list of the most important things for new members. Forum-tips should only be about how to use the forums, and most of those topics are mostly the same. PSAs are all over the place, and I think they should have to do with current events going on in the forum. We need a new tag and emoji for things that are more of ‘extra function’ that don’t really fit anything.
