Additionally to the general rules, there are some things you should consider before posting.


1. Is the new thing I found a Placeholder?
As it is with Alphas/betas, there are many placeholders.
Most of the time stuff that is a placeholder is marked with either [PH] or [NYI].
But there may be some exceptions to the rule, so you can be pretty sure that if Illidan shows up as the second boss in Uldum, that it's a Placeholder.

You can still post discussions about what a certain Placeholder might be in the final game. But don't go running around the boards yelling: "ZOMFG LORD JARAXXUS IZ TEH FINAL BOSS OF ULDUM!!!!11one"

2. Use the Search Function.
Be sure that your discussion isn't already lead elsewhere, because it's sad if a good discussion gets split up into two topics, with only half the arguments in each one.
You won't get banned if you contribute a new point of view to an old topic. If however you only post in a 2 months old topic to say /signed, you will be banned

3. Try not to get too enraged on a change.
As we have seen with some announcements already, things can cook up pretty quickly here, and especially stuff like the changes to 10 & 25 mans are well suited for flamefests.
If you want to lead an argument, do it with...arguments. Don't just start flaming with "lawl casual nubs" or "pwnd elitist pricks" That does not contribute to the discussion in any way, and will get you banned.
