    Hello! It's time to do a guide...
    So, SOME people may think new players are noobs just because they are new.
    Yes, sometimes they could be irrational because they're new.
    This guide will show mostly new players how to look professional or
    more likable to RUDE people.

    1. Get a Minecraft Skin
    So, people might judge other people (new players) by their appearances. I myself have judged people from their appearance, but i've learned from my mistakes. Unfortunately, some people don't learn from their mistakes. All in all, new players should get a minecraft skin. Instead of having the Steve or Alex skin, which could sometimes make people think you're the same as the other steves/alexs. It's best to get a unique skin. There are apps and websites that give free skins!

    2. Take Your Time to Spell Words
    Now, this rule applies to the forums and in-game. Taking your time to spell words is a way to help people think you're intelligent. Of course, everyone is intelligent in their own way, but spelling words is a good way for people to think of you as not a "noob". For example, someone may say this....HOL SHT WTF IS THS M8 . As you unravel this text, you can say Holy sh**, what the heck was that mate?! As you can see, you might see a difference in both texts.

    3. Become an Active Member (Know Wynncraft)
    After major updates, many "old" players join, and say,"How do I play?" Most cases, they just joined and need to know what was added, but then they might just leave. Becoming active is a way for people to know you. When more people know you, they think of you as a cool player. For example, @Battleslay1000 has been an active forum member in the trade section. Many people may know him as the trade/market guy. Here is a thread for people to become active : https://forums.wynncraft.com/threads/how-to-be-part-of-the-community-pretzule-likes.155901/

    Thx @Bubbles for stating this :

    As far as your points go, I have nothing to say about it. I totally agree with all of them. But. There are a few things you did not mention that I feel like being essential to the so-called "Professional Look"

    1) Make your threads have structure
    • Bold, italic and colorful text can all help you make your thread look more organized and easier to take in at the first glance.
    • Lists make a lot of information easy to take in as well
    • Spoilers save lives...

    2) Be compatible
    Try to make your threads for both light and dark theme as there is quite a large portion of people that use both themes.
    This includes:
    • Not typing in light colors (cyan, yellow etc.) as they are extremely hard to read in light theme
    • When trying to return text's color to normal, use the "none" filter instead of black / white (it looks normal in your theme but it is not even noticable for the other themes)

    3) Be polite
    Here, I am not trying to say, that you should be an angel. For sure, swearwords are widely acceptable on the forums, but that does not mean you must use them. From my experience, the less swearing there is, the more professional it looks.

    4) Grammar
    Now this does not only mean to take your time to spell out your words. This also means checking your grammar. You see, the forums has this great feature of underlining words with mistakes in them, so you can easily look and see where you made an error. I understand, English may not be your primary language, but if you want to achieve something, you have to try harder. It might surprise you that neither I am a native speaker. Also, while we are on the note of grammar, try to use fancy words. Not too fancy, though, as it might just bee too much for the majority of the forums to understand, but exchange some words with their synonyms and not only your text gets more variety, it looks better.

    5) Be original
    This is pretty obvious, but it is something people often forget about. Making your thread original means using images, symbols and other bits and pieces that are not necessary, but in small doses make your thread look like you've spent some time into it and it isn't made in five minutes.

    That's it from me, I hope you agree here.

    TL;DR - This post is for a way for new players to become professional, such as getting a minecraft skin, taking your time to spell words, and becoming an active member!

    Please do not capitalize random words in the sentence... It looks dumb as f#%k... And if you want to use capitalized letters, at least capitalize the word "I"

    4. don't use to many colors in a thread
    - gets hard to read
    - is a strain for the eyes
    - might not work with all themes

    5. don't use the align to centre tool
    - looks realy meme-y
    - ask any grafics designer

    6. don't underline headlines. Just don't.

    - ask any grafics designer

    7.don't structure threads like I do (that means not at all)
    - ask any grafics designer that knows me
