[Admin]

Hi,

Welcome to the Pendraken Forums.

First of all we'd like to welcome you to our community. We hope you can find the answers to your questions. You will find lots of avid Wargaming experts here to help you.

Please feel free to post away, everyone is friendly and we don't think there is any such thing as a stupid question (although we could be proved wrong  )

If you would like to introduce yourself, then just create a new thread in the 'Intro's and Welcomes' board to say hello. Otherwise just jump into the other boards and start posting those questions or even answers if you can help others.

A couple of tips to help you get the best from the forum.

1. If you want to ask a question, it's nearly always better to start a new thread so that you get more answers. You can do this by going to the appropriate board and clicking the 'New Topic' button. If you ask questions within an existing thread you may not get as many answers.

2. If you post in the appropriate forum you will get the answers applicable to your question, for example, if you have a WWII question then make sure you post in the 'WWII' board.

3. If you are unsure of anything or have a technical question then please ask in the 'Forum Info' board

4. Keep an eye on the Forum Info board for updates and announcements.

5. If you are looking for something that you remember seeing or think will be on the site click the Search Button, you can do a quick search or an advanced search.

6. Any questions you have regarding the features of this site, please post in Forum Info board and someone will come along to answer your questions.

7. Explore the site and most of all have Fun! 

The Pendraken Web Team

We are very proud that the Pendraken Forum is a friendly, helpful and informative site to visit, so we want to keep it this way.

Please adhere to the following simple rules and if you have any questions or problems, please feel free to contact one of the Admin team.

• The Pendraken Forum is viewed by people of all ages and backgrounds, so keep your posts polite, friendly and suitable for everyone to read.
• Each member is allowed ONLY one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed without written permission from the Administrators.
• Please refrain from using "TEXT SPEAK" in your posts.  Whilst shortening words is ok for mobiles, on forums it just makes the posts harder to read.
• While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks, racism, arguing, flaming or inflammatory posts.
• Spamming and trolling is not allowed. This includes using the Personal message system to spam other members.
• Discussion of illegal activities such as software and music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed including 'cheating the system' type posts.
• You may not post any copyrighted material unless it is owned by yourself or Pendraken.
• We reserve the right to ban anyone who violates the forum rules.
• While these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.

Our decision is final in all these matters.
We reserve the right to remove or edit any posted information that in anyway, in our sole opinion, does not adhere to our rules or general well being of this family friendly site, without warning.
