This, but DO NOT steal information directly from threads. Someone did that to me yesterday and I was not pleased.

 

[aussiemaddog1]

OK, sweet as guys. LOL, I still cant work the **** out LMAO.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Just a word of advice, if you can't run a series on your own, you probably shouldn't try.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

^ Awesome

ok sweet as guys... lol i still cant work the s.h.i.t out lmao

Wow..... what a welcome to GTP Just try to ignore the trolls and wannabe mods and it's really not a bad forum.

Why don't you try entering a series or two that interests you? That would be one way to see how it really works. If you don't want to do that, just read through some of the threads on here and get some ideas on how it's done.

Dodging the swear filter is a no-no. Also, proper capitalization and punctuation is recommended. Thanks.

Welcome to the site, like boshuter said you should really look to take part in race series others have organised before you start trying to run your own. 👍

Someone copy/pasted word for word some of my championship thread, whilst I'm not too please about it, it was only a paragraph.

Please whatever you do don't make your thread ugly. A vast majority of the threads here are littered with GIANT pictures and text that makes no sense.

My whole Nissan Owners Club thread, except for the picture, was blatantly used for someone else's thread recently. I made him take it down, because that's just uncalled for.

It's kind of funny that someone being anal about caps and grammar would start a sentence using the word "and".


I really have to say that this is no way to respond to anyone asking for advice and help in this situation. If your best input is to be a jerk to a new guy, then you probably shouldn't give any. I am aware that some of you have some super nice racing series, so instead of acting so high and mighty why not actually help this kid out, instead of complaining about other people copying a probably well written paragraph that says the same exact thing someone else is trying to get accross. I would also guess that your gtplanet posts haven't been submitted for copywrites so don't get bent out of shape, you should take it as a compliment that you did something well and someone wants to use your idea.

To the guy asking how to set up a series, put your idea in the interest check section, make sure someone else doesn't have a sereis doing the thing you want already as it will save you alot of work, and look at other members posts in the series section for an idea. I have been doing a fairly simple series for quite a few weeks now. Nothing fancy with speadsheets or anything, just using some simple addition and standard forum tools. It seems to be working well and everyone involved has been having a blast.

The point is, you ASK before you take. You ask, I might oblige. You take without asking, I'm not a happy camper.

I think there should be an 'If' before the 'You' on the second sentence. There should also be one on the third sentence.

His sentence is grammatically fine.

These little hitlers make me die, I got moaned at for using the "same" rules as somebody else in my series, even though I'd actually changed it significantly by deciding to use points penalties instead of time penalties along with correcting all their spelling mistakes. There was nothing I wanted to take part in that ran at a time suitable for me but I'd participated in a couple of leagues before I started my own and some ideas came from those, I looked around at other similar leagues to the one I wanted to create and picked and chose those rules I did and didn't want, modifying them along the way until I came up with what I wanted. I don't think there were many original ideas I came up with on my own, only the colour scheme I used for my tables was wholly my own work!! I really don't see why I need to go around asking everyones permission for every little bit of an idea I want to use from other people, this is a public forum and there are no copyrights here, it is all here for public consumption and re-use as far as I'm concerned. Only if you were gonna completely rip someone else off with a straight copy and paste would I think a polite "can I?" be necessary.

If someone wants to "steal" ideas from me I would be flattered, I mean if we all have to come up with completely different rules from everyone else there's gonna be some pretty odd rules going on!

This is why I had a problem with it. The guy straight up copied and pasted, and maybe changed a couple words. That's it. Like I said, there's no problem with asking. You ask, I might say "OK, go ahead". The reason I had a problem with what he did, is because he copied without asking. There's a difference there.
