    Dear P.C,
    I'm really enjoying this site so far. Everyone has been so nice to me!
    Thank You!

    But I really need to ask a question.
    Am I being a good member or am I doing a bad job, like not checking in here every day, not really posting "THE BEST" threads ever and so on...

    How can I be a better member here? Is there any areas I need improvement on? Anything?

    I hope this isn't considered spam by asking, but I'd just like to know from you guys!

    Thx!

    Just be yourself and post in the threads which you like seem cool or have some interest to you. but dont be all spammy. like this thread
     
    Like what Todoroki said. Be yourself. Thats the best way to be. You'll be popular in time:)

    Oh, and checking in everyday doesn't mean that you a good member. You could be here once a week, or even once a month, and be the most popular guy around. Of course, you have to dserve it. xD
     
    If you have many infractions then that can't be good. Just follow the rules. If someone flames you, don't flame them back, (even though there are some ignorant fools need to be flamed) because you won't be any more different then they are.
     
    What's a good member? ._.

    Be helpful and respectful. Only post where you really want to post.

    And I doubt there's an hours-spent-online meter that makes PC like you more. Apart from the rep power system, perhaps.
     
    This isn't spam at all, and it's a great topic as it might teach some other nuckleheads a thing or two. :P

    Wisher, you're here to have fun, really, so enjoy it. (don't worry so much about it, either) Yes, we've got Community Rules and rules for specific forums, but once you check 'em out and get used to things, it's like second nature. Just make sure you read stickies before posting (that's, hands down, the number one mistake people make), utilize the search function before eagerly making a thread, and so on. Check the date of the last poster, little tips like that can avoid infractions. And if you'd like to help out the staff, use the report button rather than posting and mini-modding.

    You don't have any infractions yet, so you're fine! (but heck, I got one my second day, I turned out all right, didn't I?) Make sure you respect all the other members that come to this forum as well. It's not hard to be a good member here.

    This isn't some contest. (although Forever might think it is *shot over and over again*) You don't have to post "the best threads" or make the best posts. Just have a blast and be yourself. Again, you're here to have fun. It's not your job to be here daily, just come on when you've got free time or want to get away from life for a bit and post in the forums that interest you. :D

    Don't be afraid to ask staff or established members questions either, you're more than free to message me about anything, too.

    Hope that helps. XD
