The forum is a meeting place for all users, which can be accessed through the "Community" tab. In the forums, anyone is entitled to post about their views and ideas on a particular subject. All subjects must abide to the Rules and must be inclusive to everyone.
Threads
A thread is another name used for a "topic" in the forums. You may create a thread in any section of the forums - except for the "News" and "Official Contests" forums. Please consult the site admin or a moderator if you wish to add a thread to the guide section.

Once you have posted your post, you are always free to edit it, but similar to editing threads - posts cannot be edited if the main thread it locked by a moderator.
You are allowed to double-post (posting twice consecuetivly) only in threads such as your diary or your personal art thread.

You are also able to double-post or more commonly known as a bump (Bring My Post Up) a thread such as trade shops to bring more exposure to it.
If you would like to add information to a thread you can use the "edit" button. If you try to double-post in a short period of time, the text will automatically be added to your previous post and not as a new one.
