[READ] Exploration Section Rules - [TAG] your threads!

**Xel** · 02-10-2010

Exploration Section Rules
General Site Rules apply here as well. If you haven't read them yet, do so
immediately!

Updates to rules (the first one overrides others)
12/8/2011 - [TAG]s are again needed, not using them is prohibited!
8/15/2010 - No need to [TAG] your threads anymore!

No reposts.
Try avoid creating a new thread for every single new patch. If nothing
changes, don't bother to post.

No exploits
We have a section for that.

Try to do it without hacks or model edits
This is a bit 'gray' area because some of us think true exploration should be
done without hacks or model editing. BUT if you find a new
place with hacks, you're of course allowed to post it here, just remember
to tag it with [Hack] or similar.

Exploration Guidelines -By glynbeard
Explore: To search into or
travel in for the purpose of discovery

When creating a new thread or such in this section be sure to check if it does
uphold the definition of exploring. If it does not, then I suggest checking to
see what your really trying to put in here.

Rule #1: I know you've heard this a million times before but before you
post search, search and then when your done searching search some more.
60% of posts in the section are reposts.

Rule #2: Learn how to take appropriate screen shots and how to use
video capturing programs such as fraps or game-cam.

Download: Game
Cam
Download: Fraps

Examples of what we should be seeing in SS:

Screenshots:

Bad:

Make it useful...

Good:

Rule #3: This is more of a hopeful guideline and
won't be enforced: I know it's fun when you find something new on a private
server and you want to share it with us but it truly isn't the same because us
on live server's will not be able to reach that point. So please, try to only
reveal things that others will be able to achieve on World of Warcraft's live
servers.

This section isn't viewed as much anymore because people think everything
that will ever be found have been found, but they are mistaken. There is
always a rock that can be turned, keep that in mind.

Finally Exploration is finding anything that you haven't seen before or been
able to achieve before. If it hasn't been posted prior then put it up. The
section isn't going to hate you because you didn't find a new world
somewhere, they are very kind and you will more than likely get rewarded
because of it.

Thank you for your time.

Thanks to Demonkunga, merfed and Fault for giving out the basics!
