[Working draft]Introduction / Tutorial Island for New Users

We will all be working together to make this. There isn't going to be submissions and stuff. This has to be very short and to the point. We have to get a lot of information into an easy to read thing that people might actually look at. I'm going to assume that it will be distributed by PM but it could be done in other ways (like built into the site or on a thread or what not).

Edit: RwmRS2's post is going to be a thread. It's too long to PM. We will have a shorter PM as well as his thread.

What we need from you guys:

1) What should be said.
2) What should not be said.
3) The layout
4) The writing of the thing
5) Resources to link to
6) Etc

Credit will be given to all who help in anyway. Mini-ranks / fun ranks could possibly be handed out if an admin comes and sees that someone did a whole lot (I haven't talked to any so there is no guarantee at all).

 

• What Sythe is. People often ask "How do I play?" etc. a brief description of what the site is/does.
• Setting up your profile. Brief description of how to get to your profile, edit it, change options/themes etc. A small step-by-step of how to add a signature (basic BB code i.e. hyperlinks).
• What precautions to take when trading. Brief description of vouches & quality over quantity etc. What evidence to keep from trades and how (i.e. screenshot/sites to upload), how to make a scam report (links to appropriate stickies). Description of MM/OMM and how these are attained (Links to list of OMM's and MM section).
• How to conduct yourself on the forums. How to report a post and when to, how infractions/warnings work, contacting staff (links to hierarchy of ranks), warning to read stickies in every section you use etc.
• Donations?

Anything already written in depth in a sticky, should just be linked in order to keep this factual and to the point.
Whenever something is already included in a thread, a brief description followed by a "Read more about X here" hyperlink should do.

What is Sythe.org
Sythe.org is a black-market, known as “The Craigslist of Virtual Goods”. ‘Sythe’, also known as Richard, owns it. He is the ‘Director’ of sythe, the overall admin, who has complete control over the site. Most people come to sythe.org for the markets, which are in RuneScape dominantly, but also WoW, LoL, SWTOR, D3, ROTMG, GW2, RS Private Servers, XBOX sales and even Steam sales! There is also a lot of talk about RS Cheating, as back in the day sythe hosted it's own bots, such as sythe powerminer. There is also a programming section and GFX section, and of course the Off Topic and notorious Spam Forum. Even though sythe is one of, if not the biggest blackmarket online for RS related sales, we still have a lot of people who are either new, or what we call 'lurkers'. Lurkers view the forum a lot, but never actually join!

The Rules, Punishment & Reform​

The Rules. This is the most important thing on sythe. Follow the rules, and you will be fine, but if you don't, there are consequences to face. They can be found (http://sythe.org/sythe-org-news/148431-sythe-org-official-rules.html). Some rules such as spamming give minor punishments, but others, such as scamming have have effects on your sythe.org career, mostly ending it forever. Only people who are highly trusted or reformed will get a second chance, after going through the High-Pardon system. If a user is banned, they can file a dispute, or a high pardon if they are admitting to the crime. http://www.sythe.org/request-pardon/1302310-collective-approach.html is how a pardon works, and http://www.sythe.org/request-pardon/1302314-stipulations-regarding-pardons.html are the pardon rules.

The Markets​

There are many markets on sythe.org which all have different aims but similar rules. Some specific sections require pictures of the icons to be shown, while others not so serious. The most used market by far is the RuneScape Market (http://www.sythe.org/#runescape-markets), however there are many other markets, such as World of Warcraft, League of Legends, ROTMG, SWTOR, Diablo III and even Xbox, Steam, Real Life Items, Guides and eBooks and programming services & graphics. With markets always remember to trade safe, request a PM from all users confirming their Skype or MSN, so you know you really are talking to them, if they refuse it you know you're dealing with an imposter. No legitimate users will refuse a PM, ever. Generally, users with more vouches are more trusted, but if someone has 50 vouches from selling account upgrades and the other has 10 vouches from selling gold in amounts of 1b+, the one with the 10 vouches is generally more reputable. MM'ing vouches are deemed to be the most valuable, as you are trusted with both parties information and goods at the same time.

Off Topic​

​

CURRENTLY EDITING

 

Meh, what the hell. Might be too long but it can be cut up by whoever.

How's this?

-------------------------------

Welcome to Sythe.org!

Sythe.org is a large virtual goods trading forum. Here, you can conduct trades for real and virtual goods with other members.
There are a wide variety of off-topic sections where you can discuss or even request help regarding anything from nutriton and dieting to your latest gaming venture.

The following information may be extremely useful to keep yourself and your money or goods safe.
We recommend all members unfamiliar with a trading forum environment to read it carefully.​

1. Your Sythe.org Profile!

1.1 Editing your profile

You will find your own user profile by clicking your username at the top right hand corner of your screen, next to 'Log Out'.
To edit your profile, click the "User CP" (User Control Panel) drop down link on the top left of your screen and then select "Edit Profile".



It is recommended you supply at least one method of contact (Skype, AIM, etc) in case someone should need to contact you regarding a trade.
​

1.2 Signatures

You are permitted to have a signature. This means links, pictures, graphic tags etc. can be put here and be displayed after every reply or topic you post.
Signatures larger than 650x350px are not permitted.

To edit your signature, click the "User CP" drop down link as before and select "Edit Signature".
Here you can use a variety of built in options to make a signature.



Images can be displayed using the tags when the link to the image is in between as shown above.
Similarly, hyper-links (words or images that redirect the user to another page when clicked) can be added using URL tags, also shown above.

The above would appear as so:

[img]http://i.imgur.com/9O82gwt.png

Other effects such as bold, underline, color, size and font can be used by highlighting the desired section of text and then clicking on the icons.


​

1.3 Embedding a Youtube video

To embed a Youtube video, select the Youtube icon from this tool-bar and select the video's URL after "v=" and copy it in between the tags.

coded as: which will appear as a playable, embedded video when posted.​

1.4 Posting and creating threads

On Sythe.org you can post what we call threads in any given section as long as it is within the rules (See: 3.1: Rules, regulations and forum specific rules).

Threads will appear in a list, in each section. The most recently replied to will appear at the top.
This is the interface you will see at the bottom of the thread, this is where you reply to the thread.




To post your own thread, first check there isn't already a thread asking/discussing the same topic and find the "New thread" button on the top left, just above the stickied posts.
(More on stickies at: 3.1 Rules, regulations and forum specific rules)



Clicking this will take you to the thread creation interface. It is much the same as the reply interface.​

1.5 Changing your thread title

Changing thread titles is a moderator action, because of this normal users cannot change their own titles.
This reduces people being able to cover up scams etc etc.

If you wish your title to be changed, simply report the post using the Report Button (See: 3.2 Reporting a post) on the top right of a post.



And type this (or similar) in to the text box:



The staff appointed in that section will deal with it accordingly.

​

1.6 Quoting and multi-quoting posts

Sometimes, it can be useful to quote someone's message.
To do this, simply click "Quote" on the bottom right of someone's message.



You'll then have a text box with the user's message quoted, you can copy and paste this in to one of your posts (For example, vouches) or simply reply and it should look like this:



To avoid multiple, single quote posts (which can be infracted, See: 3.3 Infractions and bans) you can multi-quote posts.

To do this, select this option on every post you wish to quote:



When clicked the small icon should turn red. When you get to the last post you wish to quote, simply click quote as before.



You have now quoted multiple posts.

If you are trying to quote a post from an old, archived thread or a closed thread, this guide will show you how:
http://www.sythe.org/internet/1526809-how-quote-closed-archived-thread-new-post.html

​

2. Trading safely on Sythe.org!

2.1 Vouches

There are several things which need to be taken in to account before trading on Sythe.
When looking to buy or sell, a user's vouches can tell a lot about how much you can trust that person.

Anyone can make a vouch thread here:
http://www.sythe.org/vouches-forum/

When a user buys from a user or sells to a user, a vouch can be left here detailing how well the trade went. A users vouches will usually be hyper-linked in their signature, selling/buying thread or can be asked for via PM or another method of contact.

Quality over quantity.

Consider this situation:

User #1 has over 100 vouches, all for small amounts where User #1 went first (provided the goods or payment first).

User #2 has 25 vouches for a larger value. The other user went first.

It is easy to be fooled by a large number of vouches, but it is the content of these which are important.
In this case, User #2 would usually be considered more trustworthy than User #1 as the trades had a large value and the other user went first.
Read carefully before trading.

A vouch may be presented as a quote:


Click the arrow, , and this will take you to where the original post was. Always double check the vouches are legitimate by clicking the arrow.

If there is no arrow, or the vouch appears differently in the quote than the original post, the vouch is FAKE.​

Re-cap: Sythe FAQ - Trading safe ​

2.2 Keeping evidence

Whilst trading you should screenshot every stage of the trade.

• Their profile/PM including their contact details.
• Proof you aren't talking with an imposter if you're using Skype by taking a screenshot of the contact's profile displaying the users Skype name.
• Screen shots of the entire conversation, chat logs (text files) don't count - only raw, un-cropped conversation screen shots. If you're using MSN don't close the conversation until you have all of this. E-buddy isn't recommended.
• Make sure they confirm their payment details, for example, Paypal e-mail.
• Screen shot proof of you sending payment to the confirmed details.

Keep this information well organised should a chargeback occur in future.

To upload your images to Sythe, I recommend www.imgur.com



Once uploaded, you can click edit and crop your images where necessary:


By clicking the image, you'll get the direct link, which can then be used with IMG tags.​

2.3 Reporting a scammer

If in the unfortunate event of being scammed, you can post a scam report here: www.sythe.org/report-scammer/

Read these threads before posting to ensure the report is dealt with sooner:

http://www.sythe.org/report-scammer/1331084-attention-all-skype-proofs-must-include.html
http://www.sythe.org/report-scammer/1109411-how-make-proper-scam-report-rules-guidelines.html
http://www.sythe.org/report-scammer/1118369-templates-reporting-scammer-must-use.html

The staff will have a look at your report, and post asking for additional proof if need be. It's important you check the report every now and then to ensure it is handled quickly. If the person(s) is/are found guilty, they will be banned and must make a High Pardon here: http://www.sythe.org/dispute-forum/ to be unbanned. You will need to be refunded if they intend to make a pardon or they were hacked. Otherwise, there's no guarantee of repayment.
​

Re-cap: Sythe FAQ - Nabbing scammers​

2.4 Imposters and how to avoid being scammed by one

An imposter is someone who could add you on Skype, AIM etc. and pretend to be someone from Sythe.

For example, if the legitimate Skype name was "user101" the imposter may make a Skype called "user101,".

This can be difficult to spot, so it is advised to ask for a private message on Sythe confirming you are speaking. For example:



If a user refuses a PM, or acts suspiciously when you ask for one - it's likely they were trying to scam you.

Alternatively, there is a feature built in to Sythe allowing you to add someone on various contact methods directly from a post.
This is why it is important to update your profile (See: 1.1 How to edit your profile)

Simply click, for example, the Skype icon on the corner of someone's post like so:



You will then see a pop-up, allowing you to choose multiple options, add the contact from here.




​

2.5 Ban evaders and off-site scammers

A ban evader is someone who has been banned previously and has made a new account in order to, as the name suggests, evade their ban.
This is not allowed and could lead to you being scammed.

To check for a ban evader, simply check the thread you are browsing or PM them asking for contact details.

If the user says their Skype is "RoaryNZ" (RwmRS2's Skype name) you would do this:



You can see all the links lead to RwmRS2's profile or posts - this confirms the user is legitimate as no other user profiles show up.
If, however, you search the contact details and you find a banned user using the same details previously you can report them for ban evasion here:

http://www.sythe.org/report-ban-evader/

Using this template:
http://www.sythe.org/report-ban-evader/1240795-template-reporting-ban-evader.html

Now, terminate the trade.


There are also off-site scammers to look out for. An off-site scammer is someone who has previously scammed on another site, for example - Powerbot.
To do this, you'd repeat the steps above only without the "Sythe.org" search. Search the user's contact details on their own and have a look at what comes up.

If all is clear, you can continue your trade.


​

2.6 Middlemen

If you can't decide who is going first in your trade or want to ensure a smooth trade, you can use a middleman.

Middlemen are ordinary users offering a middleman service.
Official middlemen are chosen by staff after completing a rigorous application.

The middleman section on Sythe.org can be found here:
http://www.sythe.org/middleman-forums/

Official middlemen can be found here:
http://www.sythe.org/middleman-forums/1302647-official-middleman-list.html

and can be identified by the Official Middleman rank under their username:




Some middlemen and official middlemen charge for their service, it is advised you arrange to split this fee with the other party. However, there are several, free services. Be careful when deciding who to trust with your trade. See: "vouches" in this guide. ​

Looking hawt Roary

 

Nice one Roary. I would definitely read that because it has pictures to explain everything you said.

 

I know that when I first joined sythe, like most, I was interested in all of these ranks, fun ranks, and now mini ranks that exist. There exist a couple of individual guides on how to get each type of rank but I might take some time out of my day to make sort of a master guide. This section could go under a "FAQ" section. Does anyone have feedback?

 

Pretty much here
http://www.sythe.org/sythe-org-support/1199458-sythe-faq-read-first.html#post11578184

I could make up a rank section if y'all really think it's necessary

 

I would just link users to that post and possibly the new post about mini ranks?

 

Sounds good. I'll work on it. Thanks for the feedback.

 

Roary, yours is epic. I'm not even going to continue mine, I bow down.

 

Nah you should give it a try, the more ideas the better.

Added the ranks section.

 

Your ranks section is exactly what I had in mind. When I thought about it more though this whole project may border on the edge of becoming another FAQ. I feel that you should keep the guide shorter (the length you have now as a guideline) and then provide at the bottom a hyperlinked version to each post in the FAQ? I don't know if this is just me or if this even makes sense.

Edit: for example you have already linked the FAQ in your guide but instead have it linked with the sections linked as well for easier access.

 

I've provided links where a thread already existed minus a few things, so as to cut down the size of the 'guide'.

It took ages just to do that rank section, and the BB code is giving me a headache haha, I'm going to leave it how it is for now and someone can add in if they feel it's necessary.

 

What would you think about having a section about different aspects of the market and rules inside those markets? A bit too indepth?

 

Yeah, it's just to be basics. I'm probably pushing it with what I've written.


P.S. just added re-cap links in green to each section of the FAQ where it was relative.

 

Looks really nice and really easy to understand for newcomers like me but could you put in how to quote a vouch so it has the arrow to the post? because i dont know how to do it, or you could just pm me but it would be much appreciated

 

Ok. New plan. RwmR2S's post is going to be the starting point of a thread. We will also have a PM that contains links and any very basic info.

 

What should be in the PM:

1) What Sythe is (a one or two sentence description).
2) A welcoming message (something that we are glad they are here).
3) A link to Sythe.org support (direct questions there).
4) Link to the thread.
5) Link to FAQ.
6) Link to Market guide
7) More links
8) Whatever else (suggest shit)
