There are a few of us that you'll constantly see around these forums. These members include me, LiseLee, soccer4cmp, hideouslypretty, Sanario, ripzacshair, and a few other people. These people tend to give information that it quite useful, so pay attention. :]
All

Try reading the other boards first before making your own. Your question might've already been answered.
Please try and refrain from making "GIVING HELP U NEED HERE" forums. While they might be useful, they simply take up space. It's more beneficial to go to boards asking specific questions.
You might need a Halloween pet to complete the Undying Woods Goal. These boards belong in the Pets Forum.
Don't make boards asking for Quest/Mission items.
There might be a Forum where your topic belongs other than the Help and Assistance Forums. For example, if you need a pet, the Pet Forum. If you need an item, Price Check. If you need graphics, Graphics Forum. If you need a club, Club Advertisement Forum, and so on.
Try not to make boards like "HHHHHEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP". Sure, they get your attention, but they're really just annoying. If you name the board "Help", you'll get the help you need, and nicer responses. :]
Don't direct a topic at Staff members. Directing a topic at one or a single group of people is against the rules.
Newbie Help
--
One of the sacred unwritten commandments is "Thou shall not adopt thy newbies." Basically, if you want to help out the new members, go to boards asking specific questions.
I realize that new members can't post anywhere else yet, but that's no excuse for using the Newbie Help Forum as your chat haven. Just be patient, or join a club.
You don't NEED Marapals -- you want them. Don't make boards asking for them, just request them as you go along and make friends. Trust me, it's better to have five true friends than two hundred Marapals that you don't even remember meeting.
Don't make boards asking for free items. This is against the rules.
Game Help
--
This does NOT mean games like Halo 3 or Runescape. This means Marapets Help.
Mainly, the things I put in the "All" catagory apply here.
Errors & Bugs
--
ONLY use this Forum if there is a glitch that you've noticed in Marapets. Don't use it to ask questions. Staff tends to reside in these Forums a lot, so be careful. They're watching youuu.
Read the News before posting here. There were TONS of boards asking why their characters' mouths were open during the Trick or Treating Event. All of these boards could've been prevented if they read the news.
Hope this helped. :] Feel free to mail me, BeanieBoo, if you want to add anything to this.
