A Shoutbox is for shout outs, and comments. Though I am not a GM, I will ask you kindly not to spam the Shoutbox with questions, dumb comments or...

Anyhow.
I ask you to realise the difference between the Shoutbox and a thread. Thank you.

All of the information about the Shoutbox is on the site I believe, I would make sure you read it before a GM gets on you about it. You have acess to the information so they can be as harsh as they want to be about the rules.

This thread actually is not as much of a waste of space as you may think. He was asking that you guys not spam the shoutbox, and he was doing it in a way that doesn't spam the shoutbox.

-raises eyebrow-
Didn't mean to offend you myfinalsin, I just beleived that there was a bit of abuse of the shoutbox. I'm also sorry for calling you out by posting your shout out.
However,
I beleived there was some abuse of the shoutbox and I brought up the issue in a thread so as to attempt to stop it. Again, there is a difference between the shoutbox and a thread. The Shoutbox is for fun little shout outs, and the threads are for questions, rp, stories, games and conversation.

In general, Shoutbox etiquette is as follows:
-Avoid conversations. Take this to PMs.
-Avoid questions. Ask these in an appropriate forum thread. They are likely to be missed by the people who can answer them.
-Follow the general chat rules as far as subject matter, language, etc.

Could you maybe add this to the Wiki FAQs along with the other chat channel descriptions? It would be useful for newer players who don't know proper shoutbox usage...
