So, I remember when I was new to planet minecraft I had no idea what to do, and therefore made a lot of stupid decisions. I'm making this blog to help new players learn what to do if you want people to like you, and what not to do...
So let's get right into this
Do

  • Make a few of whatever you want to become famous for making; I made skins, as they are fast and easy.
  • Comment on people's posts giving constructive criticism. It's easier to make quality stuff when people give you ideas and help you improve what you already have.
  • Visit the chat room every so often; sometimes there are some really lovely people in there, and if you have an urgent question people will reply quicker.
  • Now it's time to properly introduce the forums! There are some really random posts out there, also if you want to hold a contest for whatever reason post it in the forums!
  • Make your own work, and make sure to listen to people's constructive criticism if you recieve any.
  • When you're new to skinning, use a shading tutorial to start off with, then develop your own shading style when you get a bit more confident.
Don't
  • Steal others' work. It only makes people mad at you, and you could even get permanently banned.
  • Tell people their work is terrible. That isn't constructive criticism, that's hurtful.
  • Become one of those skinners that have been skinning for ages but still don't shade. There are lots of amazing shading tutorials out there, I reccomend checking a few of them out.
  • Make terrible unoriginal blogs. e.g. skin stealing, teen skins, minecraft dating, etc.
  • Flame at someone if they have stolen your work. Just report it and/or ask them nicely to take it down.
  • Give away very personal information. It's fine to say 'my first name is X, and I am Y years old, and I my gender is Z.' but dont go around telling people: 'My last name is A I have a huuuuuuuuge crush on B and the town I live in is C!' The internet is like a city, there are some amazing places with really nice people, but there are also dark alleyways that you shouldn't go down.
  • Lie to anybody, but especially not mods.
  • Use terrible grammar, example: "omfg i luv mah bbys" or "I liek ur shadin stile, makes meh wannna yoos this" Honestly, what the heck 0.0
Hope this helped some of the newer players in our community! ^.^

On the topic of asking nicely to get someone to take their stolen content down, you shouldn't do that. More times than not it just causes additional problems that we have to clean up later. Also, since this is a blog for new PMC users, there really should be a link to the rules in here, in my opinion.

I thought about it but decided against that because it says 'rules' in the top right corner but if you want me to then I will.
Also I was trying to ask people 'Don't say things like "OMG N00B TR0LL THIS IS MIEN BACK OFF JERKK!!!!!1!!!!!11!!!" if you feel you need to say something, try to be polite, although it's better just to silently click the report button and walk away.' but again, if you feel this needs to be changed then it shall
