Rant incoming

Also you can look below for some helpful tips on how to use the wiki

Alright, there's always been posts that were pretty much useless in the forum, but I'm seeing a ridiculous amount of them now, and I'm getting fed up with it.

There are those posts that aren't really funny, inspiring, helpful, or useful in any way. Typically these will be posted on some forum game when the poster doesn't quite understand everything in the above post or are too lazy or hurried to think up of anything decent, and their post ends up being complete trash.

Posts like these are acceptable when the above post itself is twisted beyond legibility or just searching for the most obscure reference ever to move the game along, but I am seeing both of these scenarios way too often.

Also, the people that happen to either make useless responses or useless things to respond to tend to do it often.

You don't have to respond to every thread in your notifications bell. You can just click on the thread, read what's new, and then if you feel like you're posting too fast or don't have anything really good to contribute, you can just leave the thread as is and move to whatever you're going to do next.

Then there are useless or spam threads, where people post links to things that no one would really care about, or one too many reboot threads, or personal update threads. Milestones are okay, just as long as they are done in moderation; that is, not once every fifty edits.

Also, we have more than one board, if you're working on a megacollab, put that in the Level Sharing and Reviewing board, and if you want to talk about stuff that should be added, put them in the Geometry Dash Gameplay Discussion board or the Geometry Dash Update Discussion board, whichever one you feel is more appropriate.

Here's a link with all the boards on it: Special:Forum

And all this stuff that I'm saying about moving posts, you can do any of it on your own message wall. That's your own personal forum, and you can do whatever the heck you want there. People will visit it every once in a while, especcially if you leave a good impression by making good posts.

I'm going to post some instructions on how to use this forum for all of you that don't know how. You CAN change things you have already said. Hover your mouse over your post and click "More" in the bottom right hand of the post, and then click edit. If you are on a phone or a tablet, just tap the post and the more button will probably show up. Then you can change whatever the heck you just posted, whether it was a spelling error, or you forgot something, or you came up with something even better.

Additionally, if you want to delete your post, you can, in fact, do that, with the same button described in the paragraph above.

You can create that line thing in the middle of your posts (called a seperation line) by typing directly after an enter.

If you don't know how to go down a line with your text, press the key labeled "Enter" and it will push your text down a line. Now you don't have to add the exact number of spaces to do that.

If everything to the right of the typing bar that looks like this | is being deleted whenever you type something new, press "Insert." "Insert" turns that on or off.

If you keep wondering why your *sighs keep turning into:


 * sigh

It is because the * enables a bulleted list whenever it is the first thing directly after an enter. If you don't want that to happen, you'll have to type *sigh . And don't just copy and paste that, because I made an error in the first to make that work. Get rid of the period in   .

And if you keep wondering why your #Hashtags keep turning into:


 * 1) Hashtag

Is for the same reason. Just put  around it.
