Let me be the first to formally welcome you here to the site and let me breakdown some things so y'all know the ground rules. First off, let me spotlight the new users I have seen on this site the last day or two

New Users

• camdenskutt

• ESPNSPORTFOREVER

• SportsNewsArtic

• JamesHarden4MVP

If there is anyone else, I missed please let me know and I will add them to the list immediately.

Let's start on the ground rules here and establish a few things:

1. Yes, the trade machine is outdated on this site and no we don't have the power to fix it. The admin is the only one who can and it seems as though he is working on something behind the scenes. I don't know that as fact, just interpreting this based on the lack of interaction he has had lately.

2. Follow people. To grow your account and grow your following, ask for follow for follows, or F4F for short. You ask them in the comment section if they want to F4F and then you go to their account and press that follow button. If you are seeing this, you don't have to ask me to F4F, just go ahead and press that follow button and I will follow you back as soon as I see it.

3. Post. You don't have to post like 10, 20, 30, even 100 posts a day. You can post like one or two and let it sit and marinate for a little bit. Someone will see it eventually and may leave you a comment or even like and flame. Warning: don't be too excessive with your posting, don't post where it fills an entire space, try to realize there are other people on this site and we want to be able to see other people's posts as well.

4. Share. Share your post to as many people you would like, again, you can post one post a day and if you really want someone to see it, you press that share button and press the exact sharing you want to make. Now, you can also share it through the comment sections. There is a copy link button at the bottom when you press share, and once you press it it will copy unto your clipboard. You then go to whoever's account you want to send it to so they can see the post and you go to their post comment section and paste it to the comments and send it. Leave a message that says "check it out" or "thought you may want to see this because of (a, b, c)". If you are seeing this through a link I sent you, then that is how a copied link works on here. Now, warning: don't be too excessive with this. People can get mad at you if you keep sending them nonsense, it has to be something you think they will like and not something that would annoy them.

5. Like and Flame. If you haven't noticed yet, there is a like and flame button down below each posts. If you like what they post, leave them a like. It just shows to other users that you like what they did. There is also flame, which it is basically a like button, but what it does is if you look at "My Feed" and you look at every post from the people you are following, there might be a post from someone you don't post and the reason why is when you flame something, it sends it to your followers feed showing "Hey, he likes this post". That's all that really is, basically.

6. My Feed. This is just to keep up with the people you follow and shows their recent posts so you don't have to go through the new posts and try to find someone's post in particular.

7. Comment. Leave a comment on other people's posts showing what you thought. Did you like the trade? Did you like that post? Did you disagree with someone? Just leave something because that will help build you a following. You may strike up a conversation with someone.

8. Don't Be Cruel. Taking you back to the 80's with a Bobby Brown reference. It is fun to debate, but don't be mean and call people names. Try to explain your thoughts and don't try to intentionally hurt someone because you disagree with them.

9. Keep posts to their space. What I mean about that is, when you create a post, there is an option of what space you want to put it in. When you are making a post about how well Kyren Williams is playing and you are a Steelers fan, don't put it in the Steelers space unless they are indeed playing the Steelers, put it in the Rams space or you can just leave it in the general space. That way so Rams fans that are not following you can see it and comment to you and tell you their thoughts.

10. Have Fun. Yeah, that's about all I got for that.

That should be everything, let me know your thoughts and questions in the comment section. If you ever need anything, reach out to me, along with the moderator of the site Surge, and other users on here like Fireg0d, jstodd, Melo4MVPS, DWhite4MVP and anyone else I am missing out. Probably anyone that comments on this site you can reach out.
