Help me out here guys and gals

Hey guys, I've been lightly working on a "Welcome to the Community Beta" post detailing

  • advanced formatting tips/tricks
  • frequently asked questions and frequent requests (related to the CB)
  • and a brief 'tutorial' for the various CB tools like the profile tool, toolbar, in-post red-tracker and "show as flat" option.

Geared towards the new user who either may be getting hit hard by the Reddit/vBulletin transition or simply overwhelmed by the layout.

Now the question is, for you guys who may or may not read it, should I include this all in one large post or separate the subjects out? Is there anything you want to make sure I cover or add?

As an example I'll be going over things like:

  • Difference between Help & Support and Site Feedback
  • Common formatting problems and how to fix them
  • Headers, dividing lines and tables and how to make them
  • Frequently requested features, and links to match
  • and more!

Just submit them you wimp!

Anyways lol, you might want to actually include the descriptions and what should go in each sub-community, not just Site Feedback and HS. I think we can both agree that misplaced posts are extremely common and while less common I also see people posting their topics repeatedly over and over in both the same community or in all sub-communities.

You might also want to include a Forum Decorum section. (Rhyming optional). I think we see posts naming and shaming far too frequently here in the CB and we also see a lot of "Free RP" rubbish. Having a standing post stating that Riot has officially taken a stance against such actions and that it could result in a ban would be a good policy.

Finally, a section detailing things that should be handled by way of a support ticket as opposed to forum post would be a good idea I think. Don't know about anyone else, but I'm a little tired of seeing "omg my client crashed", "rito i'm an idiot and clicked a bad link", and "insert entitled complaint here".

Yea man, you do way too much work in all this. I'm spending all my time in between work and college, can't imagine having to create and format all these while balancing all that.

My secret is I have no work in my equation, lol. Not for lack of trying though! Engineering internships are bloody hard to come by and my college major (Materials Science Engineering) schedule doesn't allow for co-ops. :(

Ah well though, it's fun and it gives me something to do in between classes and while code compiles. That compiling downtime man, 3d rendered casting models take SO LONG. Alright I'm getting rambly now, sorry lol
